The young man made it clear that he never gave out his wife to guests and such a barbaric act is not practised in his culture. He said in part:
“My name is Terna Mbakorkaa Tarka, I am a Nigerian who firmly believes in unity and respect for humanity regardless of race, tribe, gender or religion, I am here today to address a very controversial narrative that has been making rounds all over social media and the news. This is regarding a statement that when Tiv men host their guests, they give their wives out to these guests for pleasure purposes. Speaking as a proud Tiv man, who was born into one of the prominent families to come out of the middle belt region and the first grandson of Joseph Zawan Tarka. I would like to categorically state that in all my years of hosting my guests, even the thought of such a derogatory practice has never crossed my mind, therefore such a thing never occurred in my marriage. Coming from a prominent Tiv family, it is easy to be the target of the backlash regarding this matter but on the other hand I’m also well placed to speak on behalf of all Tiv people when I state clearly that such a practice has never occurred or existed within the Tiv culture or any other Nigerian culture for that matter.”
