The Fulani tribe is one of the largest tribes in West Africa, they are widely distributed, there are many people, most of them live in Mali, Nigeria and Komal and other countries, they maintain the so-called living habits, mainly raising cattle and sheep, in the dry season they will take tents and all the furniture, migrate to the waterfront. If it is the rainy season, it will go to the plateau, because there are many tsetse flies in Africa and very few in the mountains, which is a good way to escape, because of such a long migration, the people of the Fulani tribe are brave, and from a young age, they have taken their children to make them more adaptable to life.

After reaching a certain age, there is a real coming-of-age ceremony called the Salo Festival, when the young men in the tribe want to get married and marry at a certain age, so they must undergo the test of the Salo Festival, when it is held, the young men are lined up in a row, and the older tribal men use all their strength to whip them, without half a minute of hesitation and pity, they think this is a tradition that has been maintained, as long as the courageous tribal men can persist, so these young men must endure severe pain and cannot cry, nor can they beg for forgiveness. Until the end can win the favor and likes of the girls in the tribe, if you don't stick to it, you can't get married, so you still can't marry a wife, and this sport also includes married men, if they can't stick to it in the Sharo Festival, they will face the risk of losing their wives, so there are also people who will not ask for forgiveness when they are beaten too badly in order to prove their manhood, and finally lose their lives!
