Cultural heritages and Tourism in Tubah Council Area

Culture

In Tubah only the Fulanis have a completely different cultural heritage. The Kedjom, Bambui, and Bambili people maintain and promote their culture through traditional festivals and manifestations and through Village Cultural Development Associations. The Kedjom people traditionally identify themselves in an embroidered gown called ‘ndole’, ‘kume-ndoleh, ‘teshi’. Their staple meal is called ‘kebain’ (corn fufu) which they eat with ‘mbas ksi’ (huckleberry). On occasions ‘kahti-kahti’ (roasted chicken in palm oil) and they speak the ‘Ga’a Kedjom’. The Bambui and Bambili people wear the famous ‘togho’ and the pieces of cloth, ‘ngwashi’. The women all wear wrappers and blouses or ‘boubas’. They eat Achu as a staple meal and speak the “Mbui” and “Mbeli” dialects respectively. You will find typical Fulanis with a big flowing marked gown which is worn on top of a jumper and marked trousers and they equally spot a skullcap and speak the Fulfulde language.

Tourism

The landscape of Tubah has breath taking sites. The most attractive areas in this case are the beautiful hills and cliffs of Sabga, the enthralling rocks in Kedjom Ketinguh each measuring more than 100 meters in height; the enticing site of huge boulders carrying yet bigger boulders up the Bambili hills; the tall rock “Ngohphana” in Bambili and many other interesting sites. Another interesting aspect of tourist attraction in Tubah is the abundance of caves. The ones with the highest tourist value are:

Three caves of archeological importance believed to have artefacts that have not yet been identified in Kedjom Ketinguh.

There is a very attractive cave in Finge, though access to it is still to be developed. The Finge people use to hide in this cave during intertribal wars. Bambui has a cave known as “Akwokue’, found up the Ngoh Soh hill. 2 hot springs, one in Atuoh, and one is found up the hills where some Fulani men graze their cattle
