Takum, Nigeria
Palace Rd
N/A
The palace of ukwe of Takum in Taraba. An ancient title exclusively for the Kubeb tribe. Simple but historic. I met the current ukwe during my service year. A good man, very accomodating, understands yoruba too!

It a historic location
It's the ancient royal seat of Ukwe Takum, a seat exclusively for the Kuteb people of Southern & central Taraba, and parts of Cameroon.
THE UKWE The Ukwe is the Supreme Head of the Kutebland. In the proceeds of time as already ordain by KUTEB himself, this position is reserved for the Likam and Akente, which eventually appears that the value attached to seniority in Kuteb culture accounts for the retention of certain superiority by the Likam, and Akente the next most senior and neighbouring clan to Likam by being the source of the two royal families of Takum for the stool of Ukwe Takum. Even in modern Politics and Government, the seniority factor among the Kutebs still accounts for the need to consult the elders before final decisions are taken and acted upon. An Ukwe has a level of superiority of status as a ruler amongst the other clan heads, nevertheless the Ukwe's position does not threaten or diminish the position of the Kukwens who still remains the religious and spiritual heads and also a fountain of counsel to the entire community. Below is the list of Kuteb/Takum Kings since 1500 AD. Thus Ukwe and Kwe offices originated from the theocratic rulership of the Kukwen and the Akwen.
