"The Wodaabe, also known as the Mbororo or Bororo are a small subgroup of the Fulani ethnic group. They are traditionally nomadic cattle-herders & traders in the Sahel, with migrations stretching from southern Niger, through northern Nigeria, northeastern Cameroon, southwestern Chad, western region of the Central African Republic & the northeastern of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The number of Wodaabe people was estimated in 2001 to be 100,000. They are known for their elaborate attire & rich cultural ceremonies."
The Wodaabe speak the Fula language & don't use a written language. In the Fula language, woɗa means "taboo", & Woɗaaɓe means "people of the taboo". This is sometimes translated as "those who respect taboos".
The Wodaabe culture is one of the 186 cultures of the standard cross-cultural sample used by anthropologists to compare cultural traits.
A Wodaabe woman, Hindou Oumarou Ibrahim, was chosen to represent civil society of the world on the signing of Paris Protocol on 22 April 2016.
Their annual travel during the wet season follows the rain from the south to the north.
Groups of several dozen relatives, typically several brothers with their wives, children & elders, travel on foot, donkey or camel, & stay at each grazing spot for a couple of days.
A large wooden bed is the most important possession of each family; when camping it is surrounded by some screens. The women also carry calabashes as a status symbol. These calabashes are passed down through the generations.
The Wodaabe mostly live on milk & ground millet, as well as yogurt, sweet tea & occasionally the meat of a goat or sheep.
