It’s the same, he just quoted it as Adamawa, when in reality Majority are from Borno while Minority are in Adamawa. Bura and Babur are now interchanged due to intermarriage and a bit similar language and culture. |

It is often said that Cross River is a mini Nigeria as a result of their many tribes and languages, in fact there is a village called Ubang in Obudu LGA in CRS, where men speak differently from women but they understand themselves.
