Facts about Kamo Ethnic Group

Kamo (Ma, Nyii Ma) is a Savanna language spoken in Gombe State, Nigeria. Their initial settlement was on Kamo Hill, but as the speakers moved down into the plains over the twentieth century, it was abandoned.

The Kamo tribe has five clans and is thought to have originated in Yemen. The Kamo has a population of 38,000 people. The majority of them are traditionalists.

The Kamo people’s occupations include farming and trade. Furthermore, these people dress in manners that could be mistaken for Hausas. Millet and maize are commonly used in Kamo cuisine.

The Kamo cultural festival is a gathering of people. The Kamo and Awak ethnic groups in the Kaltungo Local Government Area of Gombe State, Nigeria, celebrate it every year.
