    • 1.2.5  MODE OF DRESSING
      The Migili dressing mode displays their cultural heritage, though their dressing is quite similar to that of the Hausa.  Women wear short vests that expose their belly and long skirts that cover their legs, then they adorn their hands, forehead, lips and ankles with beads and bracelets.  An interesting feature about their dressing is the plaiting of hair by both male and female indigenes. Though a bit of civilization has been introduced into their culture, hence influencing their dressing, a typical Migili indigene would still appear in colourful beads and bracelets.
