Photos: Young man who sat on the revered throne of the Tor Tiv before coronation banished from Tiv land

A young man from Ushongo Local Government Area of Benue State, who sat on the revered throne of the Tor Tiv minutes before coronation has been banished from Tiv land by The Tiv Traditional Council, for butchery of the consecrated Tor Tiv Stool. 

Stephen Nyitse caused stir after he sat on the throne of the about to be coronated Tor Tiv, Prof. James Ayatse on Saturday, March 4th, at the JS Tarka Stadium, Gboko, Benue State.

The strange action shocked king makers and important dignitaries who were in attendance at the coronation ceremony. He was immediately whisked off by security personnel for interrogation while the Pentecostal fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, president in Benue, Bishop Mike Agou, led other men of God to annoint and rededicate the Stool.

After the coronation, the traditional council went iinto emergency session over the matter and unanimously agree on banishment as punitive measure act and deterrent.

Tor Kwande, HRH Chief Ambrose Pinne Iyortyer who announced the banishment on behalf of the Tiv Traditional Council said the punishment is with immediate effect.

And that Mr. Stephen Nyitse shall under no circumstances step his foot on any part of Tiv land any where in the world. In the statement, the TTC prohibited all sons and daughters of Tiv race to offering any form of assistance to the banished former son of Tiv, Mr.Stephen Nyitse.

The Tiv Traditional Council, TTC, in the statement has, in a strong incontrovertible terms, condemned the behavior and asked the Tiv race to rise up in condemnation of such act and as well desist from all other forms of vices to make Tiv nation great again.

Abegi! That stool is just an ordinary piece of wood! If I like I can sit on the throne of the queen of England- the worst she can do is to put me in jail for a couple of days

To serve as a lesson to others who have no respect for tradition. Remove the monkey's hand from the soup before it turns to the hand of a human being

Who says he can never become king? He has reasons to do what he did! Years ago, a man was told to go to his village and sit on a specific chair otherwise he would never overcome the curse holding him down in life. He did as the Pastor said after days of white fasting and prayers and he succeeded in life. When he got to his village, the man who sat on the special chair fainted and he quickly sat on it while people rallied round to help the man. End of story!

A man who was disgraced from work by suspension, and could not see his friends inside the office for weeks is now a Professor in a top foreign university in Iya Charlie country. No condition is permanent.

U re foolish!! ... Datz disrespect to the land... Its just so wrong .. The punishment z strong but i cant say he doesn't deserve it

jerry b said...

Benue doesn't have a Tor~Tiv because it is not his zone that should be crowned the Governor rigged the process to favour him and that is why he is scared to swear with Swem !!!

The said man did not do well. Authority must be respected. The security guards did no do their job well. I suggest they should equally be punished. With due respect to the Tor Tiv and the Tiv traditional council, the punishment is too for the offence committed. HRH Tor as the father of Tiv nation should reverse the punishment

AMAECHI OKEMEFUNA said...

So annoiting the chair is the only thing the Pentecostal fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, president in Benue, Bishop Mike Agou, can only do,don't he have it in his heart to ask for forgiveness for the young man?Naija so called man of God abi Bihop dem sef.

He should go to court to reverse the banishment. Was he aware of the punishment before the offence?

Anonymous said...

For me as long as he had access to sit on the stool he the new Tor Tiv. How come he was able to near the seat? Were there no security men?

If you have a throne in your town/ village go and sit on it and see the consequences

wrightabidemi1 said...

People are here passing comments but none of them would dare try it,yet they are forgetting that traditions would be traditions. Why can't we address issues in the proper manner,he went against tradition hence he must face the music!

wrightabidemi1 said...

That's not the issue being addressed here,mumu!
