    • In the Lome area, never put your finger at the root of your nose, it is a big insult for a lot of people.
    In fact, the tribe of the president was wearing a bone in the nose some dozens of years ago. When they want to insult someone like being real bush and illetrate, they put the finger on the nose at the same place than the bone was inserted before.
    Some of them can fight you for this insult, even if you are just on your way to scratch your nose!
