Nigeria is a country in the West Africa with the population of over 180 million, 372 tribes and culture; consisting 3 major tribes (Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba).

Some tribes are considered "lost/forgotten tribes", for you hardly hear about them except in the national archive.


Abarra is a tribe among the "lost/forgotten" tribes which her majority can be found in the North Central Nigeria and some parts of Southwest Nigeria.
According to Chief Aborri Bangiji, the leader of 'Abarra's People Movement (APM)' "...the population of the Abarra people as at 2011 was around 840 thousand... I mean those that can be counted! I live in Lagos now and we usually have yearly festival in which we all gather from different places around the world to celebrate. I can't say for sure the population, because we're scattered everywhere..."

A distinguishing feature of the Abarra tribe is that their women are famous for sporting tattoos of various kinds. The women who work as tattooing artists belong to the 'Obe'. They are extremely knowledgeable about the different types of tattoos and piercings preferred by various tribes. Their mothers traditionally pass on this knowledge to them. Tattooing amongst the tribals commences with the approach of winter and continues until summer.

Abarra is one of the most beautiful languages in Nigeria with rich tongue-rolling Afro Asiatic.

Their women are easily spotted due to their wide hips, frontier curves, slim tummy, tattoos and piercings. While their men are calm, tall and muscular.

I'm well versed in Nigeria's ethnic minorities, but I've never heard of the Abarra tribe. What's another name for the tribe? Often times, what I see is that many ethnic minorities name, especially in the North also have names that are more popularized by major groups. Can you give me a state and local government(s) from North Central where these people are found? If they are an Afroasiatic group, then they can be natively found in Plateau or Nasarawa states and maybe the FCT.
