Ngibelai

Ngibelai is a territorial section of the Turkana, the pastoral people of the arid country west of Lake Turkana. It belongs to the Ngichuro division, one of the two major groupings into which Turkana sections are divided. An account of Turkana expansion tells how the Ngamatak split after reaching the Turkwel River: one section kept the old name, while the other became Nibelai. Cattle figure prominently in Turkana traditions of wealth and power.
