Benue State

Nigeria

Benue State connects to 3301 places across 14 topics through 63 Bunkabop connections, with nature and cuisine as the two dominant threads. The state shares strong ties with Cameroon and Makurdi, its capital, including connections rooted in the forested border stretch adjoining the South Cameroon Plateau. Its cuisine links trace to cash crops such as palm oil and African pear. A government thread runs through its creation by General Murtala Mohammed as one of seven new states, expanding Nigeria's total from 13 to 19.
