Dadiya people have festivals which they use to display their culture, some are done every year while some once in a while like Yeelin, "KAL" which occur once in seven years. Dadiya people are known to be farmers because of their mass and fertile land, they farm groundnut, rice, maize, beans, etc because the land is surrounded by rocks and mountains the Dadiya people believe that the land is blessed with lots of mineral resources. The Dadiya people have no access road that connects the villages. The Nigeria government neglected the Dadiya land and their people because they do not have many of its people in the government that will lobby and bring development to Dadiya land. Once the rainy season starts, the Dadiya people are cut away from the rest of the world because of a big river that flows almost throughout the rainy season. Dadiya people are open to any kind of positive development. (en)
