The disparaging remarks against Koma people for keeping to their ancient tradition since their discovery has has not halted as Nigerian media keep assaulting their their way of life.

“Koma is not one of Nigeria’s stories with fairly-tale flavor,” the Nigerian newspaper The Spectator reported in July 2010. “When Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) broke the news about the startling discovery in the then-Gongola State (Northern Nigeria) of a horde of primitive people whose women used leaves to cover their private parts while men wore animal skins and children romped about the countryside b###-n#### — stone-age cultural practices — the whole country was shocked to the marrow.

Later, they were identified as Koma people of the Atlantika Mountains in Jada Local Government Area of the present day Adamawa State. They occupied a remote hilly terrain lying along the Nigeria-Cameroon border. The year of the discovery was 1986.

Koma people are indigenous hill-dwelling people occupying the Alantika Mountains in northern Adamawa State in Nigeria and in Northern Cameroon at southwestern side (Faro National Park ) of the border with at Adamawa State.

The Koma people have been hiding in their mountainous habitat for eons but their existence was officially discovered in 1986 by a corps member. In Nigeria where when the Koma tribe was discovered the people described them as primitive, n#### people, backward people and pagans.

In fact, the mountain on which Koma resides was named Alantika which in Kanuri language means ‘Allah hasn’t yet arrived’ due to the fact that the Koma tribal people living in the Alantika Mountains keep their traditional African religion and their ancient traditions despite being surrounded by Islamic societies in the nearby Faro Valley.

They don’t use matches to make fire, but rub stones together to ignite the fire.
It is said the name, “Koma” means to go back.
For reasons too obvious to ignore, some have described the Koma people as ancient. Others, in their own observation, have termed them primitive. Whichever the case maybe, the Koma people have refused to tag along with civilization.

Misinformation

Koma people now wear clothes, discovered by the missionary in the late 90s from koma hill of the old Gongola state

Yes! I saw a follow-up documentary on this Koma people sometimes ago where a young girl that was adopted and taken away from them while she was 5yrs old by some missionaries returned to them by the same people who adopted her after her University education.


The lady was used as instrument of civilization for the Koma tribe. I saw the lady (on the TV) brought dresses for the kids and wrappers for the women... The whole thing was after 20years that the lady was separated from her people.
