I didn't see the we South-South. Nairaland made me understand that South-South is a name of an ethnic group.

To add my cent.., You can find Igala in Anambra state likewise Igbos in Kogi state.
I don't think there's Fulani in Taraba state. Fulani in Adamawa state could have been more acceptable.
If not Taraba then where can u find Fulani? The capital of Taraba, Jalingo is predominantly populated by Fulani. 2 out of 3 Taraba state Senators are Fulani, Taraba state Deputy Governor is Fulani.

Fulanis have always been the deputies since 1999. Mama Taraba that nearly won in 2015 is Fulani. They are the second largest ethnic group in Taraba

some of these tribes are sub-tribe
Do not agree. And what do you mean by "sub-tribe"? Can you please lead in identifing the features of a tribe?

They are full fledged tribes. Nothing like sub.

So being a clan in a local government does not make it a tribe. Please check the meaning of a tribe from your dictionary.

It is not the size that makes for a tribe. Features like language, culture/tradition, cluster, etc are considered.

You can't lump it under. It is a tribe and must be recognized irrespective of whatever criteria you used.

Please acknowledge it as one.

If u didn't find ur tribe, it may be considered as a kingdom or a smaller tribe inside a big tribe like Ijebu to Yoruba etc or just a clan like Kalabari and mbonuso
