Lobi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lobi are an ethnic group that originated in what is today Ghana. Starting around 1770 many of the Lobi migrated into Burkina Faso and later into Côte d'Ivoire. Currently the group consists of around 160,000 people. Lobi is also the name of the language spoken by the Lobi people.

The Lobi are known for their use of poisoned arrows in resisting the French colonial invasion.
