  4. Dr Noah Lumun says:

    It is very good attempt. However, more research is needed.Some ethnic groups are placed in States where they don’t belong.while some like the Tiv for instance, are in Nassarawa and Cross state in addition to what is stated but this classification failed to place them accordingly.

  45. Abdullahi Lamido MOHAMMED says:

    There is the need to acknowledge the original compilers Richard Bendor Samuel. The work appeared in Summer Institute of Linguistics in the early 1980’s, that is why those highlighting errors of location of Languages should note that the work predates the creation of new State in Nigeria . The complete work contains all those Languages not mentioned. Well done for introducing Nigerians to the tip of the iceberg of our complex yet unknown mosaic called NIGERIA.
