some ethnic group might be missing, since the diversity of Nigeria is very mammoth and the backwardness is also a stifling and unyielding factor.

Educated people do little reseach b4 talking.
Igbos do bussiness in all 36 states of Nigeria. This record is based on Origin not residence

I was so suprise the day I met an Igbo family from kogi..Indigenes of kogi state. I immediately do my research and now I know, there ar Igbos in Kogi and benue....

Honestly I think nigeria should be divided .
It doesn't matter because many of those languages are going extinct and the perceived ethnic boundaries will subside as well.

The reason why there is so much division and 'difference' in Nigeria is not because of stark physical or cultural differences but more because of appalling transport links between regions as well as miseducation.

The exception to what I've said is the difference between the North and the South. Islam is incompatible with anything un-Islamic - music, singing, democracy, education, and modern finance are all prohibited by Islam.

Awori isn't an ethnic group, it a subgroup or tribe of the Yorubas, we can't refer to the Egbas, Ijebus, Ekitis, Akokos etc as an ethnic group.

So that's an error!

You are right that there are no indigenous Igbo speaking tribe in Benue state but Igbo settlers d,oing their businesses. But you got it wrong 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
