Lifestyles

There are certain characteristics that are unique to the indigenous communities in Abuja. Activities such as women gathering firewood, highlighting their commitment to working together as a community and collaboration. Another unique characteristic is that the women carry load on their shoulders rather than on their heads due to a deep-seated spiritual belief that the head is the king of the entire body and the seat of wisdom, and should not be made to carry a heavy load that might overburden the brain.
