Tiv people

Tiv (sometimes pronounced as Tivi) is an ethno-linguistic group or nation in West Africa. They number over two million individuals in Nigeria and Cameroon. The Tiv language is spoken by two or three million people in Nigeria, and only a few in Cameroon. In Nigeria, most speakers are found in Benue, Nasarawa and Taraba. In precolonial times, the Hausa referred to the Tiv as "Munchi", a term not accepted by Tiv people. They depend on agricultural produce for commerce and life.
