Part 2/2 The Wife-Stealing Tribe!

In the vibrant and colorful Gerewol festival of the Wodaabe tribe in Nigeria, men dress in elaborate attire, apply dramatic makeup, and perform intense dances to seduce and "steal" wives. This tradition, steeped in both beauty and danger, sees men compete for the affection of women by showcasing their physical attractiveness through eye-rolling and teeth-flashing dances that resemble the courting displays of birds. Despite the festival's celebratory nature, the stakes are high as the practice can lead to deadly consequences if men are caught by the husbands during their nocturnal escapades to claim another's wife.
