Courtship in the Wodaabe Tribe... VERY VERY INTERESTING!! Its a community affair!! I absolutely love the very frank yet candid interviews... quite insightful!
Nomads in general are tall(er) due to diet. Most nomads diet consists of dairy (proteins), nuts (also protein), sorghum and millet. Meat is eaten but on very rare occasion. Nothing to do with Wodaabe Fulani mixing...Fulani in all countries are taller than most other ethnic groups.
Iam Fulani from Futa djallon nd their Fulani has a dialect but I understood what they were saying..it's really interesting and even though we live in different areas we all have very similar features..just beautiful..
Ils sont minces, beaux, avec des traits fins.. ils me font penser à des Égyptiens de l'Antiquité qu'on peut voir sur les fresques anciennes, et aussi à l'ethnie éthiopienne, où se trouvent les hommes et les femmes les plus beaux de toute l'Afrique
Aww I love the ending... they're some beautiful people. Their hair, skin teeth (height of the men) of the ppl...if I could visit any region of the motherland it would be this tribe 1st ;) I want to address the remarks of the men "looking gay"..these men are meant to be beautiful as they are! I'm a woman, I think the men are attractive. Gay doesn't have a look. Stop picking stereotypes to play with it's like choosing the lesser evil-you're still choosing evil!
Senegalese Fulani (from the north) here I understood them very fine. It is crazy how our pulaar is so similar. our pulaar is like British English vs American English. however when it comes to Guinean Fulani wow I only catch 2/3 of what they are saying. It is more like Scottish and American lol.
This seems to be an excerpt from Werner Herzog’s 1989 TV film, “Herdsmen of the Sun.” He is also the narrator. I do not see either him or the original movie title credited anywhere by the content provider but perhaps just missed it.
I do not know why my comment never posted sister. But I agree, the important thing is that all of us Fulani understand each other. It is important that we continue to have meetings like KJPF to make sure that our culture stays more together.
It's interesting how different their features are to for example typical West Africans. They are so tall, have sharp noses and very slim. Not to mention their attire and their culture and language. It just shows you how diverse the African continent is. It's easy to overlook when you live in Europe. I had never even heard of Wodabe (forgive the spelling) before today.
@Fatimaxn Barry wolof and bamabara are mandinka groups and berber are called amazigh and they are north african. Don’t compare us to anyone that is the true way to the pulaku
@Fatimaxn Barry Well of course in senegal fulanis their are heavily mixed, they even formed their own subgroup called toucouleur who are mixed with serer wolof, and fulani. It is very obvious when some is mixed of a different tribe any one who is fulani can tell.
@Fatimaxn Barry fulfulde is not a senegambian language, you can even tell the difference between a senegambian fulbe speaking and a mbororo/felata fulbe speaking
To me they kind of look like they may have some distant relations to nilosaharan people either way they are an extremely beautiful people who have a strong and enduring culture that spans centuries and multiple countries in Africa may god/allah bless them for many more times to come.
They’re what happens when Taureg Berbers mix with wandering black tribes in the Sahel. That’s literally why they exist actually. Their language is proof of this since it’s not an Afro Asiatic one and their genetic makeup shows this(maternally they are west african asf)

@GoldInSin in different Fulani groups there are different customs. From the Bodaddo (Wodabe plural) to Geloji, Maasina, Fouta, Jalingo people all the different Fulani ethnic groups have slightly different customs. But make no mistake we are one and the same, Fulfulde duna gootum.
@pidza21 that is because Wodaabe are Fulani and speak the Fulani language (Fulfulde), there are different types of slavic people and they do not speak the same language. Example: Russians, Polish and Serbians are all Slavic but do not speak the same language. We Fulani are West African if you wanted to come up for a similar term to Slavic, then we are Sudanic like Wolof, Yoruba, Hausa, Zarma, Songhai, etc.
Dentist being there is a waste of time .these people take care of their teeths .cleanest teeth of people I've ever seen and they be all straight .no cavity creeps allow there..much respect for these people.
@aussie2topaz They speak the same dialect as in Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad, Central African republic. Adamawa dialect for the most part, one thing to note is that Gombe and Adamawa while the ahve similar dialects they are still kind of different. For example in Fulfulde/Pular in the Adamawa dialect "see" would be said as laaru, in Gombe and other Fulani speaking areas it would be "ndaaru"
@VraiDiouf Why not, Fulanis are a big ethnic group that stretches practically from west coast to east coast. It's like saying you cannot say Serb since they are part of the Slavic ethnic group.
@pidza21 Also as Fulani we are not in East Africa. The Farthest we are is in Chad/Sudan/Central African republic. We are mainly located in West Africa.
you are talking about particular ethnic groups in Somalia and Uganda that may be short due to region and diet. In the Sahel of West Africa, Fulani (my group) are amongst the tallest. Many people are over 6 feet (185 cm) tall. Also the tallest people in the world are African (Tutsis) but the shortest people in the world are also African (Pygmies)
Tallest tribe in the world are the dinkas of southern Sudan followed by the Nuer tribe also of southern Sudan. The Tutsi found in Rwanda, Burundi, Congo and Uganda are number three in the world. Google it.
@pidza21 I think he is, I have never heard of us in Ethiopia before. I know that we are in Central African Republic, Sudan and Chad, but that is as far as we go I believe.
@HoneySwtDrms I know they won't...because they live in the USA and in order to come over here they would have to be able to fit in the plane ^_^ haha I think that our cilization is similar to theirs...they are like "living art" - but what about hollywood and all that it represents...this is also a form of art, no? :D
@HoneySwtDrms hello :) In my country the most common Africans are from Somalia and Uganda, these are rarely taller than 5.4 feet...perhaps you descend from this tribe? it would be cool though, because since you are a girl (I presume) you would get to choose a couple of husbonds, imagine how many foot massages you would get... :D haha Where I come from the percentage of African people is waaay smaller than that of America, maybe that's why we disagree? p.s. are you also that tall? I think no :)
Somalis are very tall people, that is a well known fact about Somalis, and their sculpted cheek bones, aquiline noses, soft, wavy hair, white teeth, big brown eyes stunning people 😍
what do you mean they could be fulani, do you not listen to the language? It's very obvious that they are Fulani just by listening to the Fulfulde they speak.
@HoneySwtDrms haha, well...it's just this one tribe...I doubt that people are this tall in all of Africa! :D Anyways, I'm Danish...Basketball isn't very popular here (we only have NFL matches in TV) so I'm not acquainted with the myth that black guys are tall. ^_^
The way the talk to each other is really cute, they're so giggly and shy.
