Ebira language has three sections and they are; Ebira Tao, Ebira Etuno and Ebira Panda. These sections were further categorized into four states; which are: Kogi state, Plateau, Benue, Edo State and Abaji area council of federal capital territory. The four states share some common ethnology including Ancestry, Language, Culture and History. Ebira history started in the middle Benue region about 800 years ago when the group began to refer themselves as people from Bura or Bira in the Gongola river basin. In fact, Ebira-Nya Would insist that the correct version of the group name is Egbura.
From the middle Benue Region, the same people spread the Niger-Benue Confluence from where the Ebira-Tao and Ebira-Etuno (Igara) migrated inland, to their present locations which is the thye way of Etobe in Igala land. In their various locations, Ebira-Tao mixed with different ethnic groups, some of whom they assimilated, with permanent subordination of others. For instance in the middle Benue and Niger-Benue confluence region mixed with the Akpoto {Idoma}, Bassa, Nupe, and Oworo, and took on a lot of Igala elements.

Farming and cloth-weaving are occupations for which the Ebiras are well known.
