Common Sighting in Northern Towns! There's a Myth that getting a Bedwetter on the backs of one of these Hyenas could put an end to d problem!
As a Chronic Bedwetter while growing up, my mum capitalized on this myth to "cure" me of my habit!

Surprisingly! It worked! grin

My only problem be say; Wherever these Animal Handlers are displaying, there are Pickpockets in the Midst! Those Baboons are Crooks!

The following are the accounts of photographer Pieter Hugo on his trip to Nigeria to investigate the Hyena Handlers.

The Naraative and pictures are from his book The Hyena and Other Men

It all started with the picture above. A friend had emailed photographer Pieter Hugo this bizarre image taken on a cellphone in Lagos, Nigeria. The caption read, ‘The Streets of Lagos’, and a newspaper publishing the photo reported that the men were bank robbers, body guards, drug dealers and debt collectors.

The image went viral online and the myth of these street toughs in Nigeria with Hyenas grew. Pieter was captivated and knew he had to learn more.

Through a journalist friend, Hugo tracked down a Nigerian reporter, Adetokunbo Abiola, who said that he knew the Gadawan Kura as they are known in Hausa (a rough translation: ‘hyena handlers/guides’). A few weeks later, Pieter was on a plane to Lagos.

Some of these animal handlers use them to rob people(especially monkey handlers). They use the monkeys to scarce people,when the person is caught unawares, they just rob the person sharpaly.

[size=18pt]The Hyena (KURE) is a sacred animal in Hausa Religion. (white Hyena)[/size]


Yero - the Black Hyena is a spirit that causes a person to become paralysed. TO cure it we must perform a dance and sacrifice a certain type of bird to it.

A hyena can bite off the laps of an elephant like a biscuit bone. Hyena's have the strongest jaws among all animals in the whole wide world.
