The Wodaabe, also known as the Mbororo or Bororo, are a small subgroup of the Fulani ethnic group. They are traditionally nomadic cattle-herders and traders in the Sahel.
The Wodaabe migrate with their animals in the semidesert area known as the Sahelian zone. The Woodabe live in four countries, Niger, Nigeria, Chad and cameroon.
The Wodaabe are divided into two big tribes: the Degereÿi and the Alijams. These are again divided into extended clans and subclans, and further divided into extended families.
