While
there is a lot of reference to the Office and the person of the Tor
Tiv in a number of materials online, there is very little
information online about the Office of the Tor Tiv, in terms of when
the institution was created, the selection of the Tor Tiv, its
evolution and the actual role of the Tor Tiv and indeed his
assistants and other "traditional officers" in Tivland. This is not
to suggest that the office is moribund, on the other hand, the
Office of the Tor Tiv is active in the life of the Tiv people and
represents one of the most critical traditional institutions in
Nigeria today.
For now, TIP is
short of materials on the subject, office and personality of the Tor
Tiv and will welcome suggestions and materials on the institution.
