I've seen quite a lot of them while growing up. My dad used to converse with them in Fulani. They are really beautiful

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).

Gayigaskia:

This is true 90% of them speak hausa, they live not far to the hausa around Tahoua area of Niger. These people have to interact with farmers "hausa" cause they don't farm, they live on grains received thru the exchange of dairy products which they are known for.

Oops sorry about the misconception.

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

They are still Muslim, they just don't practise Islam like non-Mbororo'en

Most Fulani groups have lived in close proximity to the Hausa for a while. Whether it's Niger Republic, Nigeria or Cameroon

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
