The Koma people — Unravelling Nigeria
Wear leaves and share spouses with friends
RELATED STORIES
Though young people and some men in resettled areas wear modern clothes, a large percentage of Koma still clad in their traditional dress.
Women use leaves to cover their private parts while men wear loincloths and animal skins with many children butt-naked.
Interestingly, a Koma man may share his wife with friends, as a form of acceptance.
When cooking, the Koma still use traditional salt (Mangul) produced from the hills and a special oil produced via a natural technology not common to other ethnic groups in its environs.
