Taboos

Avoid asking people, “What tribe are you from?", as they may take offense. A better way is to ask “Which region or town do you come from?” or “What is your native language?”
When eating with your hands, you should always wash them first.
When visiting friends, it is not uncommon to bring a small gift for them, either food or drink or something that you’ve collected during your travels to their home, not doing so may be considered rude.
It is considered rude to not greet people, even strangers.
