The African continent is famous for many oddities, whether in traditional customs, clothing or food, and it includes hundreds of tribes that preserve their identity, customs and traditions at different times and times, and here we monitor the most prominent 5 African traditions:

1- The “Guiriol” tradition of the “Wadabi” tribe in Chad, which is a beauty contest for men. The men dress up in their best jewelry and clothes and line up in front of a panel of female ‘judges’, with the winner having an intimate night with one of them.

2- The Dasaniche tribe of the Omo Valley in Ethiopia, their women make hair accessories using metal bottle caps and other metal waste.

3- The Tuareg tribes in North Africa are the only ones that oblige men to cover their faces instead of women, and men protect their faces from the sand and the sun with these covers, but they do not take them off in the presence of women or strangers, until nighttime or mealtime.

4- Spitting is considered a source of blessing for the Masai tribe in East Africa, and if a member of the tribe spits on another, he gives him part of himself and his energy.

5- Men from the Ethiopian “Hamar” tribe prove their masculinity by jumping over the bulls and walking on their backs while they are naked. A man is not allowed to marry before they walk on the backs of the bulls 4 times in a row.
