The Igede people are a Nigerian ethnic group[2] in Lower Benue State of Nigeria.[3] They are native to the Oju and Obi local government areas of Nigeria, where 2006 population figures stand at an estimated 267,198 people.[4] However, many Igede people are dispersed across the state and the Nation. For instance, the Igede language is also spoken in Nigeria's Cross River State, and many Igede communities exist in Osun State and Ogun State.[5] The Igede language is a member of the Benue-Congo subgroup of the Niger-Congo language family.
