TIV Heritage Eulogized by Mimi

My name is Mimi Leke, I am from BENUE state of the Tiv extraction . I embody the spirit of my heritage with unwavering pride. At every opportunity, I passionately showcase the rich tapestry of Tiv culture, dispelling myths and championing its values.

Tiv culture, deeply rooted in tradition, holds certain principles sacred. Among these, fornication and adultery are considered grave transgressions, often referred to as sex taboos. In the eyes of the Tiv people, the act of sex carries profound significance, and any violation of its sanctity bears dire consequences.

I stand as a beacon of truth, determined to correct the unfortunate misconception that Tiv people offer their women to visitors as a gesture of hospitality. I unequivocally condemn those spreading such rumors, and I view them as malicious attempts to defame a culture that values respect and integrity.

it's essential to clarify the spelling and pronunciation of the term; it is "TIV not "TIVi." or Tibi

I extend a heartfelt call to all well-meaning Tiv sons and daughters, as well as friends from other tribes, to unite against these erroneous narratives. Together, we can preserve the honor and dignity of the Tiv culture and ensure that it is celebrated and understood for the treasure that it truly is.

My unwavering dedication to my Tiv heritage serves as a testament to the beauty and resilience of the Tiv people. Through this advocacy, I stand as a guardian of tradition, dispelling myths and fostering unity among all who appreciate the rich tapestry of Tiv culture.
