Tiv

Member of a people living in Benue State of central Nigeria. Originally they were subsistence farmers growing yams and millet; today they produce cash crops of soybeans.

Formerly there was no centralized political authority; their social organization was based on a system of segmentary lineages, and their markets served as forums for debate on public issues. The Tiv traditionally believe in a supernatural power manifested in emblems and fetishes.
