Yes, style was NOT style before it spreads to other parts of Nigeria.

Before, Yorubas had a way of tying their knots in the front, middle and back of the head.

Many of the fashion designers coming out with new styles (like Segun Gele) were/are Yorubas.



Just like Cosmetic was not just cosmetic. Remember how the "black pencil" lip liner was not even practiced in Nigeria before Hollywood influence?

Style is style. So it was yoruba people came up with the way this Calabar, South-South, South Eastern tie their gele? Because Segun gele has a video on Youtube? So how were other people tying their gele? In the middle of their belly? Gele is a Nigeria thing and cuts across, stop trying to align it to yourself, give others credits.

When you're done playing with irrelevant pictures, you can post the 70/80s picture for comparison

Go and sleep, abeg.

When you're ready to compare with pictures, ah wi be redi.

As I was. . . .

Ileke-IdI:
Gele is not a Yoruba thing, but many of the newer designs are specifically designed by Yorubas for Yoruba owambe.

Anyone with better clarification. . . . Green light.

^^^Be deceiving yourself. Parading half truths all the time, so tey e reach gele. You no dey shame.

Ole, barawo! It's not my fault you can't read and decipher. You want to claim other people's culture to yourself. Nigerian ladies are naturally stylish. You wanna claim all the credits to yourself. Shame on you.

As of right now, you're doing a bad job "exposing" anything. Seems like you're fighting hard to alter the truth.

It must be a Yoruba that sketched out the design for this Igbo girl's head-tie, rotflmao!!!!

Modern Gele (even if it's has a different name in each region) styles, most of the new modern designs were created by Yorubas mainly for Yoruba owanbe parties. Theory suggest that mass movement to the SW of Nigeria, caused it to spread.


Disprove that if you want. . . . but please, keep your insults out of this. You're a grown woman.

@Post

Edo or specifically Bini head beads. . . . nothing can describe how gorgeous and beautiful it is. Work of art.

Others are not credible enough source. Others = me, you and guests. I expect "others", esp Igbos, to try to refute my statement.

Try again.

I mean the South-South and Easterners that are chiefly known for the paper-gele, did not make elaborate claims, somebody that did not move around Nigeria but happen to only have lived in the backwaters of Ekiti is claiming sketching designs. Na so patriotism they make some people lose all sense of reasoning? Ole ni yen.

Dakore so you haven't heard? It was a yoruba that designed that style on your head. The yoruba man used a magical pen and designed the contours and structure of the gele.

#%&@:
i dont know much about headscarfs but the ovbigbo own na die. ive never seen anywhere where two geles became one. wonderful! altho that gele was tied by a bini woman.

^^

^ Stop, that gele no fine. It's like a Ghetto chic wearing blonde and black wig

splashed as how? it wasnt a mix and match but two colors from two headties that were proportionately positioned and tied to become one. thats both genius and flamboyance.. segun gele should catch up.

I thought they were sewed together.

Even with that. . . . the design of the cloth and the headtie is very local I wouldn't wear all that tho, but that's just me.


I like the "iro" tho, I no dey feel the buba/gele.
