Dudu_Negro: No doubt the wodaabes are naturally endowed with physical beauty, however, they also are preoccupied with physical adornment, particularly the application of animal fats to enhance facial appeal and visual softness. I know I saw this before but the connection between these people and another is solidified with this post. VERY INTERESTING... |

Re: The Wodaabe People by Nobody: 1:52pm On Aug 18, 2013 |
You can experiment with it yourself......use their example and color your face with a light foundation and then use a constrast color to divide a line down the middle then look yourself in the mirror and amaze at your own beauty, or evwn take a picture. Another reason why they do that is because in wodaabe culture, the straighter a man's nose, the more attractive he is (to some of the women). so the line also exaggerate or show off the straightness of their nose. |

*Kails*: Although Fulani literature often says we come from Egypt I find it hard to believe. Do we originate from North Africa? yes we do without a doubt. But Egypt? not sure. That said, the first Fulani were the Ba (Bah), Ka (Kah), Diallo (Jalloh/Jallow), etc.) These names are still used today. Ka is also interestingly an Egyptian term which refers to ones spirit. No one knows if we originate from Egypt, since the language itself is a Senegambian tongue derived from languages spoken in Mauritania and Senegambia. One thing is for certain though as many black groups live in Egypt. I think the first Egyptians were either Nubian or Afar. |
Re: The Wodaabe People by Nobody: 12:59am On Aug 19, 2013 |
What's up Fulaman!! ![]() If the wodaabe people were originally the natives of Libya then for sure they were involved in the history of Egypt. Again, there are depictions of them there and also in ancient rock drawings across north Africa. But I do agree with you when you said "I think the first Egyptians were either Nubian or Afar." There is a lot of evidence that suggests this to be true. ![]() |
Re: The Wodaabe People by Fulaman198(m): 2:10am On Aug 19, 2013 |
*Kails*: The thing is that back then, there was no such thing as Wodaabe, only Fulbe. Wodaabe is a derograty term used for Fulani who have "not fully adopted Islam", in fact it can be used for any Mbororo Fulani. There are stories from our forefathers that the First fulbe families Ka, Ba, Diallo, Barry, etc. all came from Egypt. However, there is no evidence of this. There is evidence that Fulani were once in North Africa, but where in North Africa we are unsure. |

Fulaman198: There is no evidence that all fulanis came from egypt because not all of you did. Some fulani ppls did come from that region, esp. the wodaabe. The thing is there is no such thing as "fulani dna" simply because you guys are only bound by language, culture, and religion. But in terms of dna you are not homogeneous. This explains the nomadis culture, appearance and customs of the wodaabe compared to many other (the majority) fulani groups who easily blend with other west africans. In the case of the wodaabe, there is plenty of evidence that THEY (not all fulanis) are originally from the eastern sahara. |

*Kails*: http://www.misiide.net/miijo-hol-to-leydi-misra-egypte-hucci/#more-684 What you are saying doesn't make sense as there was no such thing as wodaabe back then. Wodaabe is a term coined when Fulani converted to Islam. All Fulani are of the same root, as depicted by culture, language and DNA. The Wodaabe of Nigeria, Niger, Chad and Cameroon are no exception as they are just like every other Fulani DNA wise. 5,000 years ago there were about 15,000 fulbe, and today over 15 million. All our roots are the same, language and culture. You can't just have one group diverge from another, if Wodaabe truly were different why is it everything they do Fulani? From clothing food, language and culture. They just have retained more finatawa Fulani than other Fulani groups. 1 Like |

Its already been stated many times that Fulani's origins lie in the Sahara(like other West Africans), there is even rock arts of Fulanis in the Sahara when it was wet. ![]() Heck Fulanis still mostly live near the Sahara. |

KidStranglehold: Its already been stated many times that Fulani's origins lie in the Sahara(like other West Africans), there is even rock arts of Fulanis in the Sahara when it was wet. That is correct, most Fulani still live in the Sahel/Southern Sahara because it is the land we're used to. Also, like you said, most West Africans are truly from Northern Africa (Modern day Sudan) |
Re: The Wodaabe People by Nobody: 6:37am On Aug 20, 2013 |
Fulaman198: I don't know about West Africans being from modern day Sudan. I never heard that one before. But yes most Africans during the Holocene lived in the Sahara AKA North Africa(and still do...AKA Tuaregs,Fulanis,etc). Here is an interesting study showing the peopling of the Sahara during the Holocene period (Green Sahara). ![]() It is from this study: http://www.pnas.org/content/108/2/458.full.pdf ^^^As you can see most lived in Northern parts of Africa.Coastal West Africa, Central Africa and South Africa were sparsely populated which is why civilization developed much later in those parts of Africa. I actually think there is a lost civilization buried under the Sahara desert. I mean there isn't much archaeological work done on Africa(excluding Egypt). Heck we just found out Tichit Walata in Mauritania and that settlement goes back 4000 BC. Lets not forget that archaeological work has found out that the city of Djenne goes back 250 BC, but the city has not be dunged up. There are many ancient sites recently found in the Sahel area. I think there may be a connection. I think there was this very Ancient Sahara civilization that we do not know about. The Ancient Egyptians talked about the Kingdom of Yam being in Chad and other civilizations being in that area. But we'll just have to wait and see. |
Re: The Wodaabe People by Nobody: 6:42am On Aug 20, 2013 |
If there was an Ancient Saharan civilization then I think the Fulanis and Tuaregs were differently a part of it along with other African groups. |
Re: The Wodaabe People by Nobody: 8:34am On Aug 20, 2013 |
Fulaman198: Sir africa has changed a lot over the years. Africans today were not as they were thousands of years ago. The fulani much like the akan is a collection of many african groups who share a culture but originally began as seperate clans. Migrations occurred a lot in west africa and caused people to fuse into larger groups. The same can be said for various other african ethnic groups all throughout the continent. This is nothing new. Lol The fulani is no different. I,never said the term wodaabe was ancient...i said the people in that group are and they are not...i repeat NOT native to lle est africa. They are related to the tuareg who in turn have the same ancestry (with some foreign admixture) as the east and north east africans. If u want me to provide proof I will gladly do so. But there is a reason why body wise and phenotypically the wodaabe looks different from other fulanis its because of their ancestry. Its common sense. The fulanis are not all homogeneous. Lol. |
Re: The Wodaabe People by Nobody: 8:52am On Aug 20, 2013 |
The origins of the Fulani people are highly disputed, some believe that they are of North African or Arabic origin, characterized by the lighter skin and straighter hair. Some Africans even refer to them as lighter skin and straighter hair. Some Africans even refer to them as"white people". However, recent studies show that they descend from nomads from both North Africa and sub-Saharan Africa. The Fulani were the first group of people in West Africa to convert to Islam [b]through jihads, or holy wars, and were able to take over much of West Africa [/b]and establish themselves not only as a religious group but also as a political and economical force. They are obviously talking about the wodaabe and other fulani ppl with admixture as most fulanis do Not fit this description and you know it. Lol Now you asked why do u share the same culture...again, trade and jihad. The Fulani people of West Africa are the largest nomadic group in the world. As a group they contain a vast array of diverse people who were conquered and became a part of the Fulani through the spread of Islam. Lol biologically speaking, fulani ppl are not a homogeneous group sir ![]() |
