The Chamba are a significant ethnic group in the north eastern Nigeria. The Chamba are located between present day Nigeria and Cameroon.^[1] The closest Chamba neighbours are the Mumuye, the Jukun and Kutep people. In Cameroon, the successors of Leko and chamba speakers are divided into several states: Bali Nyonga, Bali Kumbat, Bali-Gham, Bali-Gangsin, and Bali-Gashu.^[2] They are two ethnic groups in Ghana and Togo also called Chamba, but they are ethnically distinct.^[3] The Chamba are identified through their own language, beliefs, culture, and art.
