Wamdeo
Wamdeo is a town in the Askira/Uba local government area of Borno State in Nigeria.〔Law C. Fejokwu; ''Nigeria, the military and political leadership'' Polcom Press, 1995〕 It shares borders with Uba to the East, Uvu to the South, Mussa to the North, Mishara to the North-East and Rumirgo to the West. The town's name was originally pronounced "Wandi" but later metamorphosed to "Wamdeo" due to the way the nomadic Fulani pronounce it. It is populated wholly by two clans: the Muva (further split into the Njila-Njila, Bilata, Dagufla and the Patha) and the Zugubi (further split into Kidimbla, Mbla Kauchacha, Gutha and the Fidigutum)
==History==
Wamdeo was derived from the word “Wandi” and has existed for more than 500 years. Many theories exist for claims regarding the first occupants of the region but the Dagu-Flas and the Zugubis claim to be the first occupants of the area. Other major clans include Midala also known as mai wa kra tha (derived from the head of a cow given to them in ancient history), the Lere believed to have migrated from Northern Cameroon and Eastern Chad, the Holma also known as Bla-ta (derived from the Marghi word ‘mai ma ki bla ta nga’ meaning take shelter under that ganji tree) believed to be refugees in search of shelter from Kilba area, the Fidigutum believed to have migrated from Fali land (Fidi is derived from Fidi mountain in Vimtim) and lastly the Pazza originating from Biu area to mountain Pazza now Bazza.
As a result of missionary work in the region headed by Stover Kulp, Christianity was introduced to Wamdeo in 1937 during the reign of Shal-Tagu from the Dag-Fla clan. In 1938, the first dispensary in Wamdeo was built by the missionaries and in 1945, the first CRI was established in Wamdeo during the reign of Lawan Mumini from the Zugubi clan.〔Salihu Samuel W., ''Tales from my grandfather'' Unpublished 2012〕
