I've watched some documentaries about them. They are the "non-islamized Fulanis". I once came across an article where they were reffered to as the true/undiluted Fulanis. I love it when people hold on to their culture. It's a shame some of them are gradually letting it go (at least according to the documentaries). 1 Like |

For us Mbororo'en, it's not the case, the women are allowed to mate, not marry which ever man they choose during the Worso ceremony |

[img]http://imgs.vietnamnet.vn/Images/vnn/2015/07/08/14/20150708144402-3.jpg[/img] It can take as long as six hours to get your face ready for the dance at the Gerewol festival, held in September They believe they are the most beautiful people in the world, and the men carry mirrors at all times to check their appearance The Wodaabe believe bright eyes, white teeth and a sharp nose make a man beautiful and the make up enhances these beatures The women, who are married, could chose to be 'stolen' by one of the better-looking men, leaving their husbands behind |
Re: The Wodaabe Fulani In Africa, Where Women Can Marry As Many Husbands (Photos) by Horus(m): 2:57pm On Nov 29, 2015 |
The women, have relative amounts of sexual freedom They have their standards of beauty, including up to eight earrings in each ear, and tattooing their faces If a man is worried his wife might chose to be stolen, he may keep her away from the Gerewol |
