Unreferenced date December 2006 The Middle Belt is a human geographical term designating the region of central Nigeria populated largely by minority group minority ethnic groups and stretching across the country longitudinally. The Middle Belt is indeterminate in that it lacks designated border borders and is charactized by a heterogeneity and diversity of peoples and cultures. The eminence of manifold minority groups to some degree constitutes an ethno linguistic barrier in the country, drawing a separation between the principally Islamic North and the more secular, Christian animist south. The region is a convergence of these cultural domains and maintains a tremendous degree of ethno linguistic diversity, with languages of the Afro Asiatic , Nilo Saharan , and Niger Congo families, three of the primary African language groups, all being spoken. Minorities in Nigeria tend to be dominated by the three largest ethnic groups, the Hausa people Hausa of North and the Igbo people Igbo and Yoruba people Yoruba of the South the result in the Middle Belt is occasional political unity and solidarity amongst these highly differentiated peoples, an example being the United Middle Belt Congress that emerged following Nigeria s independence from United Kingdom Britain in 1960 . Areas of Nigeria which are generally referred to as belonging to the Middle Belt are Kwara State , Kogi State , Benue State , Plateau State , Nasarawa State , Niger State , Adamawa State and Taraba State . Also included are the southern parts of Kaduna State , Zuru area of Kebbi State , Tafawa Balewa and Bogoro areas of Bauchi State , Tangale and Waja areas of Gombe State and the southern parts of Borno State Biu area .

The Frost Belt is a region of the United States generally considered to include the Northeastern United States , the Great Lakes region North America Great Lakes Region , and much of the Upper Midwest . The region is known for its cold, frost producing winters and heavy snow fall. The Frost Belt was for many years the epicenter of American economic activity, and the most populous part of the United States. A shift away from domestic manufacturing beginning in the 1980s dealt a heavy blow to the region s economy. For most of the latter 20th century, the Frost Belt had already been experiencing a stagnating population as Americans relocated to the more temperate Southern and Western regions of the country. This shift was caused by economic factors as well as social developments the desegregation of the South and easing of racial tensions in that area made it a more welcoming place for African Americans and other minorities. Even the advent of air conditioning played a role the South and Southwest, once almost uninhabitable for a part of the year, became a more viable alternative to the colder climates of the Northeast and Midwest.
