The Koma people, also known as the Koma tribe, are an ethnic group that inhabits a series of small villages in the northeastern part of Nigeria, near the border with Cameroon. They are one of the smallest ethnic groups in Nigeria, with an estimated population of around 5,000.
The Koma people are known for their unique cultural practices and traditions, which have been preserved over the centuries despite the influence of neighboring ethnic groups and modernization. They are known for their distinctive dress, which includes woven grass skirts and elaborate headgear made from woven grass and feathers.
The Koma people are also known for their farming practices, which are based on a traditional system of shifting cultivation. They cultivate yams, cassava, and other crops, and also raise goats, chickens, and other animals.
The Koma people have faced a number of challenges over the years, including discrimination and marginalization by the Nigerian government and neighboring ethnic groups.
However, in recent years, efforts have been made to preserve and promote their unique cultural heritage, and the Koma people have begun to gain recognition and respect for their contributions to Nigerian culture.
