where do the wodaabe people
The Wodaabe, also known as the Mbororo or Bororo, are a small subgroup of the Fulani ethnic group. They are traditionally nomadic cattle-herders and traders in the Sahel, with migrations stretching from southern Niger, through northern Nigeria, northeastern Cameroon, southwestern Chad, and the western region of the Central African Republic. The number of Wodaabe was estimated in 2001 to be 100,000. They are known for their elaborate attire and rich cultural ceremonies. The Wodaabe speak the Fula language and don't use a written language. In the Fula language, woÉa means taboo, and WoÉaaÉe means people of the taboo. Wodaabe is an Anglicisation of WoÉaaÉe.
