The Koma people of Yola, Adamawa state are dwellers of the Alantika Mountains which covers the area between Yola and Northern Cameroon. Travelling with her photographer, who also shot the pictures in the vast temple complex of Karnak near the Egyptian city of Luxor, she stayed in the isolated Omo Valley in south-western Ethiopia, where she lived for a week with the Surma tribe.Citing from the biblical angle, it wasn’t until after the eating of the forbidden apple that the first man sort clothing for their nakedness. Korowai Tribe people do not even wear this Koteka. There are about 3000 of them and they prefer to uphold their ancient cultural practice and move around naked. Centuries later, almost everyone on earth is civilized and has adopted the use of various means of covering nakedness.

Living their lives as they wish in the hills, they are almost alien to whatever form of civilization the world has adapted. Clothing to the Koma people is only for ceremonious activities.The Nyae Nyae tribe of Namibia are more of cultural and traditional protectors than they are primitive and ancient. Naked Tribe is a tribe that still, in this 21 st century has little or nothing to do with clothing of any sort. From the theory of evolution, the man who developed from apes wandered and roamed naked until the need to keep warm and cover-up. However, it will interest you to know that there are still people who walk about naked like no form of civilization have gotten to them.

This tribe of naked walking people was discovered in 1986 by a member of the National Youth Service Corps. This Corps member was posted to go serve at the then Gongola (now known as Yola) area of Northern Nigeria. The only thing the men of this area use in hiding their private parts are leaves. They also still live in tree houses and hunt for food. Both Surma men and woman pierce their ears, some woman stretch their lower lip with a plate. They scar their bodies by making little cuts repetitively.
