The maasai people are mostly found in Kenya and Tanzania
while the maradun are found in
Zamfara, Stokoto and in Imo State in East of Nigeria Orlu, they are human beings with their own specified traditional
lifestyle which seems as their
culture and customs from their
ancestral origins.
These people exist since, their way of tradition remains intact
without change in respective of the
western civilization today
famiously in all part of the world. The maasai and maradun are mostly to be seen in different autonomous
tribes and communities with
distinct cultural heritage in their land,
maasai and maradun makes their living in
through cattle, sheep, goats cow in Kenya Tanzanian and zamfara, Sokoto were they are found . they are mostly artisans and
tourist economically based areas
for strangers.
The maasai and manadun people circumcised their children at
the age of l4 years and left their youth as warriors to care for their live
stock for the period of 8 years before
coming back to village marry as man.
They most lived in hut
houses, that is made from a bunch
of branches, they use cow-dung to stick the branches together both in Kenya
and northern Nigerian. Their tribe has
been noted of their different types of village caravans and strange object of their
origins and hils of nature , maasai people do not till their soil for farming rather for grazing of their live stock,
than depend on cultivated farm product
for purchase but maradun
farm in desert land and scrub land.
The maasai peoples believes that the richer or influential of one
traditional society depends on the multitude of
his cattle, while the maradun in Zamfara and Sokoto believed
the office of the traditional ruler or their chiefs depend on
hereditary.
The maasai people mostly warrior at
period of grazing time for their
livestock, but maradun goes warrior as
king coronation with different title hood, people of maradun were mostly on hides as skin of animal, Zamfara but
the maasai people wore blanket beaded hairs.
Maasai
traditionalist do not kill lion when it
attack their cow because of the
wildlife organization which stipulated that the head of the cow must be buried in the sand
but the people maradun do kill lion as
warrior in their own tradition.
The mardun report their cases to their traditional ruler while
the maasai report theirs to their
council of elders, maasai people ppractise honeymoon while
the maradun do not do such but voluntary through the emir practice lesbian in their tradition.
Maasai people feed with milk
and blood as protein source but maradun people of
zamfara and sokoto feed on milk and other foods for their survival,
Maasia and maradun marry their wives through using cow heads to get their
wives, thereby as many wives
as many cow head you present to the family . maasia
and maradun consult their deities
and gods before embarking on any
mission both on security politics
marriages etc.
The marriage tradition are the
same like marrying of many wives and
bearer of many children and keeping of livestock, maasai people and maradun owing their birth
stage after delivery before they will recognized the person
as baby they will expose it to
three moon age traditional before taking it as their son,
Meanwhile maasai without culture is
as a zebra without stipples, this is still associated with
maradun people way of life. Maasai traditional lifestyle of judging
issues are patriarchal in nature,
They decide matters on a full body house made of oral law covers
with many aspect of their behaviour,
they pays in cattle’s to settle matters, they had their own court for
peace and reconciliation arena, while
maradun people execute tyrant by convicting their people if found guilt
of an offence, and settle their cases
through their traditional ruler or the emir by their law in
the court, palace of
their (HRH) emir,
The traditional maasai do not bury
their dead ones either left them for scavengers, the only person meant to give burial
ceremony was their chiefs, the maradun people
custom demand that bury will be
giving to every one but not ceremonies unless their chiefs.
Infant, this two comparison are obvious people with
different and similar cultures of their
way of life valued tradition and culture like people of maradun in Orlu
in Imo state as they performed series of traditional life styles.
In coronation of their Chief i.e Igwe and Lolo titles, the throne of
Igwe remains primogeniture in
nature and legendary this people king remain king until his death after death of Igwe they hand over to next king with historic
land mark if the person in hierarchy to became the king is still in political
position or appointment should be named awaiting king after his retirement confirmed the
igweship.
The day all this traditional rites
will be performed the chiefs and
villages, traditional priest,
Catholic Bishop of Orlu Igwe ‘s royal
emergence form his obi was marked with pomp and ceremony like a warrior king his men was stern. A royal staff bear led the way even as his
admirers Jostled to catch a glimpse of
the young Igwe, Intermittently gunshot kent the air and shouts of Igwe dikikadi were the tumultuous applause from the lips of the
people, after the king was ushered in
the place court room he will joined by his queen, note that people of maasai and maradun practice courtroom in common.
But
they do not marry or have sex with each
at the same way of maradun
people, both of this tribe circumcise their
children but do not live the same
wildlife as found in Kenya, Tanzania and north Nigeria.
Maradun of Orlu Imo State do not
live wildlife like other maasai and
maradun in Kenya and Tanzania, Northern
Nigeria.
People of maradun traditional culture based their
sources of living on farming and observe western life but remain intact
with their culture and traditional origins presently (HRH) Alhaji Garba Muhammed Tambani
FICEN, MFR and maradun chairman
first class Emir, are hereditary but the maasai people royal hood bsed on riches
of the cattle and children
Maradun people traditional life
assume kingship both in north and
eastern Nigeria like a successors to
throne,, but the people of maasia in Kenya and Tanzania
they depend on their leadership stages on l the orignisation of the wildlife
law and their council of elders to
ascend to throne not in wise
reputation like maradun but depend on the large expense of ones cattle, sheep, cow etc, before
one could be confirmed chief titles,
massai and maradun people has spirit of loyalty and honesty in
their common tradition to their chiefs
or Emir, that any person confirmed titles must be respected home
and outside than
tribe by their people as one
chosen to represent them.
They are monarchial
both the people of maasia
and maradun both in politics and
other social issues, their security are not exposed to government but are been intervening through their chief or emirs, like the people of maradun in respect of the security of Nigeria in the problem of Boko Haram meance are been consulted through their emir of zuma salisu and the news will be circulated to his people through their
custodian of their laws and customs, but
the maasai people are hardly
communicated but they are people lovely people unless through their council of elders but their
culture are complicated to one’s understanding because they live in the
desert.
However, people of east Africa has been finding it
difficult to live with them because of
their distinct life style and
traditions,
Maasia people plays their traditiojnal activities in their home maasai
house (Enkang)
