UNBELIEVABLE! The Tribe In Nigeria That Still Walk Naked and Why

Koma people are indigenous hill-dwelling people occupying the Alantika Mountains

in northern Adamawa State in Nigeria and in Northern Cameroon at the southwestern side (Faro National Park ) of the border with at Adamawa State.

The Koma people have been hiding in their mountainous habitat for eons but their existence was officially discovered in 1986 by a
corps member. In Nigeria where when the Koma tribe was discovered the people described them as primitive, naked people, backward people, and pagans.

They were discovered in 1986 by a corps member in the then-Gongola State of Northern Nigeria, a Nigerian newspaper.
The Spectator reported in July 2010. They were officially recognized as Nigerians in 1961 and now have 17 villages on the Nigerian side.

Years later, the people of Koma have managed to exist outside of modern civilization. Hidden away in these hills, they move around freely
naked or near-naked in leaves and loincloths. They cook with fire made with flint.

The majority of the Koma hill-dwellers depend on farming, hunting, and gathering forest products like bananas, locust beans, and canarium used for body lubrication.
They buy farming implements and scarce items of clothing used by men on ceremonial occasions from the Fulani, Bata, Chamba, and other tribes in the lowlands.

Once boys and girls turn about 14 and 17, both sexes undergo puberty rituals ( circumcision for boys and
extraction of two of the incisors for girls).

They are then free to interact before making their conjugal intentions known to their parents with reciprocal token gifts, a farm, or garden plot works. If permitted, the man pays the bride price with goats,
chickens, and some token cash of about two Naira.

The Koma people believe in a supreme being called Zum or Nu. Reportedly, some International NGOs are working with the communities to help preserve the Koma culture and promote tourism.

Once upon a time, there was a woman who sold cooked beans in Abeokuta. Her bean joint at the time connected the roads that led to Ijaiye, Ago-Oba, Itoku, Lafenwa, Isale Igbein and Ake roads. The location of her restaurant was tagged “Sapon,” which was derived
from the word “Saponloore,” meaning “help the bachelors.”

People, especially bachelors, derive pleasure from eating at a restaurant because they perceive it as a place to wine and dine in those days. In addition, important personalities like kings, government officials, civil

He was born in 1941 at Iseyin, Oyo State and he was named Moshood Folorunsho Abiola. He would later pick on the stage name of ‘Professor Peller’, an appellation that has stuck to him like a second skin.

HIS MAGICAL PERFORMANCES AND EXPLOITS
When Professor Peller was alive, he
was the most brilliant magician in all of Africa. I am not too sure if the record has been broken. Even in death, Peller remains the greatest of all. He performed not only before princes but also held kings spellbound with his magic. Here is how Femi Oyebode, a Professor of
