What is koma tribe?

The Koma tribe, also known as the Koma people, are an ethnic group in Nigeria and Cameroon. They are primarily found in the southern part of the Adamawa State in Nigeria and along the border of Cameroon. The Koma people are known for their distinctive architectural style, as many of their homes are built entirely of wood and thatch. They are also known for their unique cultural practices, including traditional dances, music, and craftsmanship.

The Koma people have traditionally practiced agriculture, with yam, millet, and maize being staple crops in their diet. They are also skilled hunters and gatherers, relying on the surrounding forests for wild game and fruits. The Koma people have a strong sense of community and are organized into various clans and family units.

Despite their vibrant culture and rich history, the Koma people face challenges such as limited access to education and healthcare. The construction of new roads and infrastructure in the region has also had an impact on their traditional way of life. Efforts are being made by local and international organizations to preserve the unique cultural heritage of the Koma people and support their sustainable development.
