The Bororo people (also known as the Wodaabe tribe) are nomadic pastoralists living in West Africa, including Niger. The women are extremely hardworking, not only taking care of the daily meal preparations but also engaging in nomadic work alongside the men. The process of meal preparation is unique. They primarily rely on millet as their staple food. They pound the millet into flour with wooden sticks and eat it with milk. They also use Calabash-made containers for milking and meals.
