You are a geographical illiterate. Some Igbo communities fell into Benue State during state creations in Nigeria. Don't forget that Enugu and Ebonyi shared boarders with Benue. Please visit local governments like Oju, OBI.etc...
Nobody is counting Igbos doing business in Makurdi, or somewhere else in the state or other states.
The past military governments made sure that they left remnants of Igbos in almost all the neighbouring states just to make disintegration difficult for Igbo. It worked.

Please don't be blinded by hate.

There is no place or tribe called Nyifon in Benue too. But there is a sub language of Idoma called Utonkom. There is Igede and Ufia too. These set of languages speak like people from Cross River. Generally, they will tell you they are Idoma when asked elsewhere. Thank you.

My brother, this place we a discussing is where I belong. Agatu is just a name of a district. We have Agatu, Ochekwu, Adoka, Ugboju, Onyagede and Otukpo districts that made up Otukpo local government in the past. The LG is now splited to Otukpo, APA and Ohimini LGAs now. We are regarded as Idoma north. It may interest you to note that, Agatu is known to be the Original Idoma spoken language as it is the only dialect that is complete in semantics. Whoever that tells you that Agatu is different from Idoma does not know it. It's just a dialectal difference but one indivisible tribe. It is just liken to Ekitu Yoruba and Oyo Yoruba, or Enugu Igbo and Abia Igbo. They all one language but different dialects.

You are right that there are no indigenous Igbo speaking tribe in Benue state but Igbo settlers doing their businesses. But you got itvwrimg to say that Agatu as a tribe is missing in the list. Agatu ain't a tribe of it's own but a dialect of Idoma language and a local government just like we have Edumoga, Otupka, ochekwu, Otukpo, Adoka, Ugboju, Agila etc. Again, there is no tribes called Abakpa and Nyifon in Benue state. Thanks
