The Idoma At a Glance
The Idoma are an ethno-linguistic group that primarily inhabit lower and western areas of Benue State, Nigeria, and kindred groups can be found in Cross Rivers and Nasarawa States in Nigeria. Benue State is located in the middle-belt region of Nigeria and is bordered by Nassarawa State to the north, Taraba to the east, Enugu, Ebonyi and Cross River to the south and Kogi State to the west. The bulk of the territory is inland, south of river Benue, some seventy-two kilometers east of its confluence with river Niger. The Idoma are known to be ‘warriors’ and ‘hunters’ of class, but hospitable and peace loving. The greater part of Idomaland remained largely unknown to the West until the 1920s, leaving much of the colorful traditional culture of the Idoma intact.
Of the 23 Local Government Areas of Benue State, Idoma speaking people primarily inhabit 9 of them: Ado, Agatu, Apa, Obi, Ogbadibo, Ohimini, Oju, Okpokwu, and Otukpo.
