Chapter One: Introduction

1.1 Background of the Study

Nomadic communities, often characterized by their migratory lifestyles, form an essential part of the cultural and social fabric of many African countries. In Mubi North Local Government Area, Adamawa State, nomadic groups such as the Fulani are key players in the pastoral economy, with deep ties to traditions that have shaped their way of life for generations. Photography plays a pivotal role in documenting the lives of these communities, capturing moments that would otherwise remain undocumented due to their nomadic nature. Through visual storytelling, photography preserves cultural heritage, chronicles the struggles and resilience of these communities, and raises awareness of the challenges they face, including environmental changes, land disputes, and socio-economic development. This study explores the role of photography in chronicling the lives of nomadic communities in Mubi North, focusing on how visual documentation can contribute to preserving the identity and history of these groups while addressing broader societal issues.

1.2 Statement of the Problem

Despite the rich cultural heritage of nomadic communities in Mubi North, their way of life and struggles are often underrepresented in mainstream media. The nomadic lifestyle presents unique challenges for documentation, as their movements across vast areas make it difficult for conventional media outlets to capture their experiences. Photography, as a mobile and adaptable medium, has the potential to bridge this gap, offering a visual record of their lives. However, the role of photography in chronicling the experiences of nomadic communities remains underexplored in Mubi North. This study addresses the absence of comprehensive photographic documentation and aims to explore the potential of photography in preserving the narratives of these communities for future generations.

Furthermore, the study highlights the power of photography in promoting greater societal understanding and advocacy for nomadic communities, paving the way for more inclusive policies and support for these groups.
