RE: ADSactly History : History Of Northern Nigeria [Part 6] - Tiv In The Pre-colonial Era
This is a fascinating factoid
Tiv is the only Northern ethnic group with a recognized national attire which is white-and-black strip fabric
The attire actually looks great. Quite elegant.
This summarizes the sad story of our peoples
The clash between Tiv and Jukun has almost never ceased and has been a recurrent issue.
Inhereted conflict whihc after several centuries people do not even know why they are fighting or who gets benefitted.
Regarding their socio-political organiation, I wonder, how do they get along with a central govenment (president, ministers, congresspeople, etc)?
They actually get along with the federal government very well. Central government doesn't have much influence on the traditional and cultural practices of ethnic groups in Nigeria, except when the practices contravene the law - but Tiv's attire does not contravene any law.
Thanks for reading buddy
