Incredible photos.. The African "Wabi" tribe, its men "adorn and dance" and women choose their husbands:
"Sabq" continues to discover the strangest tribes in the world in the reports on the holy month of Ramadan. In this report, we reveal details about one of the strangest tribes with strange and wondrous customs in Central Africa, and perhaps the strangest custom they have appears in an annual festival that takes place for a week, the famous "African Wadabi" tribe.
The tribe is one of the oldest tribes in the world, and it is one of the tribes of the "Fulani" people, who live in parts of Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad, Central Africa and Niger, and have preserved their primitive heritage to this day.
The tribe is one of the nomadic tribes in the desert of Africa, and the "Tuareg" share the region, but each has its own way of life and its primitive legacies, which are filled with strange and unbelievable wonders.
The tribe, which is not far from several capitals in African countries, still considers its men as the most handsome among all the men of the earth, and their poems and chants describe them as natural beauty, and the tribe sings for them enthusiastic songs to compete in the application of colors and adornment powders.
It is considered a natural thing to see a man in them holding a mirror and sitting to adorn himself and perfume. In addition, the man's teeth must be white, and they believe that bright eyes and sharp noses are signs of beauty that they are distinguished by.
The Oudabi tribe annually organizes the Jeryol festival, which means “kings of beauty.” It takes place in September of each year at the end of the rainy season. The festival lasts for seven days and eight nights in a desert location between Niger and Chad, where men dance in front of women. After preparing for seven hours to obtain the consent and acceptance of one of them for marriage, while women compete for the most beautiful of men, choosing from them, and often falling into the clutches of marriage early.
One of their customs is that the people of the tribe do not participate in these rituals by foreigners, as it is intended only for the tribe only, and women usually prepare after hard work in farming and harvesting for this celebration because they wait for these celebrations every year, and because they like to look at the most handsome men of the tribe in their eyes when they decorate and dance for them.
