Welcome to MJVAFRICA network......See the Nigerian tribe that doesn't wear Clothes and live in Caves SBMupdate_H Jun 23, 2020 12:43 AM Opera News Nigeria Only for Opera News fans. Follow Photo Credit: Google Koma is a relatively primitive hill-dwelling ethnic group in northern Adamawa, in the Atlantika Mountains, which shares a border with southern Cameroun. Hill-dwellers are spread through the south and southwest of these mountains, including many on the Cameroun side. There are 21 Koma villages in the Cameroonian side of the Alantika Mountains and 17 villages on the Nigerian side. The largest towns in the Koma area are: Tantille, Chonha, Mani, Nassaraw Koma and Ba-Usmanu The Koma people became recognized as Nigerians in 1961, a year after independence, along with the old provinces of Cameroun. Today Koma is part of the seven districts of Jada local government in Adamawa State. The hill was discovered in 1986 by a corps member. The Koma hills is a serene hideout bordered with natural vegetation, with beautiful hanging mantianous sceneries and valleys over looking one and another combined to regulate the temperature of this place. The Koma have their own language, known as Koma, with an estimated 61,000 speakers. It is a member of the Niger–Congo family. The Koma people are divided into three main groups: the hill-dwelling Beya and Ndamti, and the Vomni and Verre lowlanders. Koma men are much more receptive to wearing of contemporary clothes than the women. Customarily inheritance in Koma is in the maternal lineage. They have an average population of about 400 people per village, and many engage in rearing of animals. The Koma people Culture Among the Komas, a twin birth is regarded as evil, and twins are considered abominable so much so that until recently babies of multiple births used to be buried alive with the women who had the 'misfortune' of being their mothers. This obnoxious practice of twins killing is out of vogue among Komas who dwell on the plains, but in the out-of-the-way settlements on the hills, the ancient practice still thrives untainted. Few facts about the Koma tribe 1.) Koma medicine men engage in extended farting sessions on the occasion of public dancing ceremonies. They could fart for hours on end. When the anus becomes irritated from prolonged flatulence, it is soothed with a healing powder. (funny and weird right?) 2.) They are committed to their traditional culture. The men wear loincloths (A loincloth is a one-piece garment, sometimes kept in place by a belt. It covers the genitals and, at least partially, the buttocks.) and women wear fresh leaves. 3.) As a mark of acceptance and friendship, a Koma man may share his wife with friends, especially visitors. (I still find this hard to believe but it's really happening) 4.) The Koma people believe in the existence of a supreme being variously called Zum or Nu. These words are also used for the sun. The neighboring Chamba also use the same word Su for the sun, as well as for Almighty God. 5.) the mountain on which Koma resides was named Alantika which in Kanuri language means ‘Allah hasn’t yet arrived’ due to the fact that the Koma tribal people living in the Alantika Mountains keep their traditional African religion and their ancient traditions despite being surrounded by Islamic societies in the nearby Faro Valley.
