Meet The Nigerian Tribe That Still Go About Naked

                                       
The Koma People are hill-dwelling people  who live in the Alantika Mountains , spanning the border between the southeast of Yola, the capital of Adamawa State in Nigeria, and Northern Cameroon. They were discovered in 1986 by a corps member in the then- Gongola State of Northern Nigeria, 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. 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 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.
