Interesting. I'd watch the documentary ASAP.

Their women are fine though.

I forsee Naija men travelling to this peoples land in the near future....

Bucket list?

Reminds me of the kanuri pole in ladan musari village in yobe.

No wonder Fulani men are holding on to Islam and wan die on top Islam. They know culturally they are property. Fulani women no try at all. They need to take back their heritage. angry

Those Bororo people dey live like côcks and hèns oh! Men dey pursue women anyhow and any one them catch, them go rapè am, then free am. grin

My Kogi friend Tanimola, told me so much about them and how he helped some of their women escape rapè. He was in his compound (unfenced) when some women in distress ran to him and asked to hide in his house. He opened the door for them to go in. Just about 5 mins later, the men ran towards his house and asked him if he saw some women run pass that area. He told them yes but that they passed thru one route like that (gave them the wrong direction). Na so them females take escape rapè that very day oh!

Not only the Fulani in Nigeria do it, some parts of Benue do it too. Benin girls do not do it by culture, they simply do what other Nigerian girls do as liberated culture.

They claim married and sheltered women do it for free, they do it for money or pleasure.

A bride stays with her husband until she becomes pregnant after which she returns to her mother's home, where she will remain for the next three to four years. She will deliver the baby at her mother's home and then she becomes a boofeydo, which literally means "someone who has committed an error." While she is boofeydo, she is not allowed to have any contact with her husband, and he is not allowed to express any interest in either her or the child. After two to three years, she is permitted to visit her husband, but it is still taboo that she should live with him or bring the child with her; this only becomes permissible when her mother has managed to purchase all the items that are necessary for her home.

No thank you. Sounds like a recipe for chaos.

Of course all the useless ashawo think it's a great idea to have multiple husbands. No thought for the consequences.
