Wide shot young girls singing in Yoruba UPSOUND (Yoruba): \"These beads must not break, roll on, roll on, we cannot get tired it's the drummer that would get tired, dance on.\"\u003cbr/\u003eWaist beads have been traditionally worn by women in Nigeria for centuries.\u003cbr/\u003eIt's thought the colourful bands, known as cherry beads, help attract the opposite sex and act as a form of contraception. \u003cbr/\u003eIbadan, Nigeria. \u003cbr/\u003eAt the local market one of the most popular stands is Sherifat Dupe Omonigbehin's bead shop. It has specialised in cherry beads for more than 21 years.  \u003cbr/\u003eWorn around the waist, the flirtatious jewellery helps women seduce their partners. \u003cbr/\u003eNestled on the hips, the beads aid women in watching their weight and can also be used to measure the weight of babies. \u003cbr/\u003e\"Waists beads are good and they are used for fashion and also not for fashion, because when someone newly gives birth to a child they put a waist bead on the child's waist so as to monitor the weight and growth of the baby. If the child loses weight the waist bead hangs loosely and if the child is gaining weight the waist beads firm and tighten around the waist,\" says Omonigbehin. \u003cbr/\u003eBeads are synonymous with culture in Nigeria. \u003cbr/\u003eIn the 1400s, Portuguese traders found they could exchange their own versions of beads for the plentiful palm oil of Nigeria's southern delta.\u003cbr/\u003eThe beads also served as currency in the expansive slave trade that dominated West Africa until the British cracked down on the trafficking in the mid-1800s.\u003cbr/\u003eToday in villages and Hamlets across Nigeria they still play a vital role in everyday life. \u003cbr/\u003e\"If one is to give a daughter's hand in marriage like we are in our village, if the beads we have altogether are not enough, we will borrow from other people in Adeyipo village, to adorn the waist of the bride tightly with beads making her buttocks stand out,\" says one villager. \u003cbr/\u003eWorryingly, they are also thought by some to act as a contraceptive. \u003cbr/\u003e\"If a woman is using this (waist beads) as power for birth control she's going to have to say an incantation for it, if she's using it to attract a person she is going to say an incantation for it, it won't just do it by itself in other words that's the inside of Yoruba religion or African religion, you have to have the power of words with the symbol in order to get the desired result,\" says Yeye Akilimali Funua Olade from the African Research Heritage Library. \u003cbr/\u003ePerhaps not surprisingly, doctors are keen to disprove the common myth. \u003cbr/\u003e\"The use of waist beads as a form of contraception has only cultural value, it has not been verified to be efficacious in preventing conception.  Reason is simply because it does not have any hormonal impregnation inside neither does it serve as a barrier method and as such there is just no possible or explainable way that it can be used as a contraception,\" says Dr. Gbadebo-Alake Olakunle, Senior Medical Officer of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Ikorodu's General Hospital.\u003cbr/\u003eAlthough largely believed in the smaller villages across Nigeria, warnings from the medical profession have been successful in convincing younger women in the bigger cities that the beads are worthless when it comes to preventing pregnancy. \u003cbr/\u003e\"To me waist beads is a very good sense of fashion and I like wearing it a lot. I feel very confident in myself and I like exposing it a little so people will see what I am wearing,\" says student, Damilola Akintobi. \u003cbr/\u003e\"It's a standard to make the woman beautiful. These waist beads accent her asset of her full backside and her hips,\" says Olade. \u003cbr/\u003eWhich is perhaps why they remain a popular gift that husbands give their spouses. \u003cbr/\u003e\"Some men bring their wife to get waist beads why, because he does not want to be looking at other women outside of marriage so whatever he would be seeing or enjoying on another woman other than his wife, he would prefer to be seeing it on his wife to play with,\" says Omonigbehin. \u003cbr/\u003eStandard beads cost between $1 - �3 USD a
