Who they are
The Jukun Kona live in Adamawa and Taraba states in Nigeria. They call themselves Jiba, a name also used for their language. They say they came from Yemen and, after many migrations, arrived at Kona Garu in Taraba. Some personal names relate to the care of a child and the circumstances of birth. They believe that a person’s spirit lives on after death. Most follow traditional religions, and Christians are a minority.
