Fulani, Jelgooji in Burkina Faso

Fulani, Jelgooji in Burkina Faso Cows are very treasured by the Fulani. For the Fulani to farm is almost a rejection of their heritage. The Jelgooji of eastern Burkina Faso have clung to the tradition of herding more tenaciously than many other Fulani groups. One of the Fulani taboos is that a married woman should never speak the name of her husband, her in-laws or her first born child. Another taboo in some Fulani groups is that if someone eats goat's meat he or she will become a leper.
