The Fulani Wodaabe Tribe and their unbelievable sexuality

The Fulani Wodaabe Tribe where men do makeup and carry mirror about The Wodaabe, also known as the Mbororo or cattle Fulani, are a small subgroup of the Fulani ethnic group. They are traditionally nomadic cattle-herders and traders in the Sahel, with migrations stretching from southern Niger, through northern Nigeria, and some other parts of west Africa. The males in the tribe see themselves as very handsome set of men and so they do make up and always carry mirrors wherever they go. Wodaabe means ‘People of the Taboos’, which refers to the numerous cultural dos and don’ts that structure their daily life. For example, the Wodaabe never call loved ones by their name – which must make locating them in a crowd quite difficult. It is considered a mark of respect not to be overly affectionate towards a loved one, and this includes the use of their first name. The Wodaabe also have strict tabooed behaviour around hygiene, eating, and, of course, character. The Wodaabe tribe are nomadic pastoralists of the Sahel region in Africa. Their migratory journeys cover the expanse of northern Africa, where they travel with their cattle and families across the arid areas of Niger, Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad and the Central African Republic. They are a small, isolated branch of the Fulani ethnic group and are considered by neighbouring tribes as wild, uncivilised people, labelled as Mbororo, or ‘cattle Fulani’. For the Wodaabe, cattle indicates wealth; they very rarely eat them. Instead, they are predominantly vegetarian and consume millet, milk and occasionally cassava. They do, however, trade the cattle for other goods. The Wodaabe are known for their elaborate attire and rich cultural ceremonies. The males in the tribe are regarded as very vain because they believe that they are the most handsome set of men and they always carry mirrors. In the tribe, marriage is always contracted in infancy, and the first marriage of any Wodaabe man or woman is usually arranged by their parents from a very young age. The Wodaabe don’t practice monogamy, and there is no shame in married men and women having lovers, though strict taboos dictate you may only have one marriage partner at a time. Although the Wodaabe are a patriarchal society, when it comes to marriage, the women are in charge. Nowhere is this more clearly demonstrated than at the annual Gerewol fertility festival which culminates in a beauty contest. It is the most important ceremony among the Wodaabe where men compete to be selected by young marriageable women as the most beautiful. The location of this festival is not decided upon until the last minute and it is always held at the end of the rainy season in the Sahelian zone which has seasonal rainfall and grass that provides grazing for the cattle. In this beauty pageant for the men, the women are usually younger, in some cases they may be as young as 12 or 13, and the men are seen as fair game in a society which is polygamous and polygynous. The men competing will prepare for days, and up to six hours on the day itself to prepare and get ready to impress their women. Their heads are shaved at the front and their braided hair is adorned with shells. As well as the eye makeup, They paint their faces with red clay, use eyeliners to make their eyes appear whiter, and wear a shade of lipstick that will make their teeth appear whiter. They also wear white ostrich feathers in their hair making them appear taller. The culture believes that beauty can be judged by the whiteness of the teeth, the firm straight bridge of the nose and white eyes. Therefore, the make-up done is to accentuate these features. During the festival, three of the tribe’s most beautiful women are chosen to judge as the men display through a dance, moving in circles. Other women, already wives of other men, admire the men they most desire to choose as their second husband. If a man successfully steals a wife without being caught, the man automatically becomes her husband and the union is accepted. The tribe is a polygamous one hence the wife stealing is widely accepted. In spite of this, some men do not wish their wives to be stolen, and so do not allow them to participate in the festival
