About Makurdi
Makurdi is more of a political and administrative city than is commercial. It is also a major transport route between the north and south of Nigeria. It is predominantly made up of the Tiv tribe, who have been in leadership since civilian rule, then the Idoma, Igede, Etulo people. The capital is mostly a Christian city, with Muslims and African traditional religion making the minority. The city is quite accommodating as it is the cultural capital of the state. The town is slow, laid-back and there are lots of men around drinking alcohol. As long as you do not go poking into their business, you'll be just fine. The city is mostly warm with an average temperature of 32°C. There is occasional flooding of the river during high rainfall in the wet season.
