By tribe (ijebu,egba,awori, some kabba,ilaje,ife, Lagos,ijesha, some Edo,ekiti, Ibadan, Oyo, etc in those 6 states + Edo (funny enough) are nothing but just simple dialect, if u are patient with anybody speaking in his dialect u will know what they are saying |

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.
