Beauty: The Wodaabe tribe, who live in the Sahel, come together each year for arguably the most intense beauty pageant in the world

It’s the world’s most spectacular beauty pageant that is more fiercely contested than Miss World. At stake? The chance to go down in folklore and to win the heart of a new wife.Because this competition is not for women, but for the men of the polygamous Wodaabe tribe, an ancient group of nomadic cattle herders who are the vainest and most beautiful people on earth, so they say.



Fame: The aim is to win the Yaake, a dance judged by three women, with the prize being years of acclaim - and your choice of wife

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

i will definitely be a fulani-man in the next world. i can't miss this 'worso ceremony' for anything in the world.

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.

You do realise that Wodaabe Fulani are in Naija right?

not sure Nigerian Fulani practice that.

i think traditionally you have to be whipped before you can marry a wife.

The flagellation ceremony is only amongst some Fulani groups in Niger, Benin Republic, Nigeria, Mali, etc. It's flogging to test one's coming of age as a man.

Wodaabe are Nigerian Fulani, they are one of the many Mbororo'en groups found in Niger Republic, Nigeria, Cameroon and Chad.

End time tribe. These women will have so much man power. grin. Fine fine men too. Not these our Nigerian men that look like a scary masquerade but feel they are James Bond. cheesy. But it's like these men apply makeup pass me sef. Scary.

The women look like Kanuri and Fulani women.
you must be ugly yourself to think these ugly people are fine. well,you want attention but Nigerian cities and men seem to be too advanced and sophisticated for you,these people are on your level,you are tired of urban people. lmao. your type get mad when we Nigerian men admire beautiful females like Juliet Ibrahim and Bianca Ojukwu. your hating will definitely multiply if you are in Dubai,America,etc that are filled with beautiful women

do you call men whoremongers when they fancy the idea of having multiple wives?

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.

When i was in school, an acquaintance of mine use to call me Bororo all the time because of my looks and I'm light skinned. So this is the tribe he was comparing me with.
