The research was motivated by the need to review traditional beliefs of the Tiv currently undermined by the significant impact of technological change. The Tiv now put more emphasis on technology and its benefits, resulting in an erosion of traditional values within family and clan structures.

Secondary sources include materials from available literature, from both methods will emerge historical method. While the phenomenological method of study is employed.

Research has uncovered a new religion among the Tiv; having abandoned traditional beliefs connected with witchcraft and sacrifice, the Tiv have enthusiastically embraced new means of production in agriculture, new methods of health care, educational change, developments in transportation, the media, and industry.

Introduction

This study begins with a brief review of the pre-colonial era of the Tiv people. Like most tribes in Nigeria today, they are experiencing a dynamic wave of change. Its cause is traced back to colonialism, which brought changes in political life of the people.

Rulers were imposed on the populace; the use of money and taxation were introduced. Socially, there were changes also. The marriage custom of exchange of bride was replaced by payment of dowry, which contributed to materialism.

Greed and materialism became the order of the day. The changes in Tiv land today can also be traced to westernization, which brought Christianity with it. This new religion permeated the traditional culture, introducing both western medicine and education.

Industrialization can be traced as the offshoot of the technological changes in the land, and its attendant pluralism encourage the rise of cities.
