aribisala0:
Leave the joker. Colonial Mentality is messing with his head.Tell me how you work in Qatar or Maiduguri or Dubai when it is 40 degrees wearing a suit and rope on your neck.

manny4life:

Ok o, like I said, Fashola should have worn his Yoruba Dashiki when he went for the BET's awards as Africa's governor or something, you're good at pulling pictures, pull that one up. If I'm wrong, I'll take it back. Also, when he sought financial loans and went shopping, he should have worn his agbada na, no shaking ... nsogbu a diro...

I just wish he keeps it up indeed, I mean he's part of the Yoruba who have made a golden calf and dancing around it.

ypzilanti:

Must everything be a tribal issue to you? Seriously, grow up. I'm Igbo and my father made it a point not to give any of his children an English name. That was his choice, and the philosophy he chose to pass to his children. Herbert Macaulay had two English names- A Yoruba man who fought for Nigeria's independence. There is nothing wrong in having an English name. If you are an African that is mentally enslaved to believe that all things African are inferior, then you should go listen to Bob Marley redemption son verse two; Emancipate yourself from mental slavery.

Afam4eva:
Americans and europeans are also not our standard.

aribisala0:

You are a funny dude. Fashola can wear what he likes. I have no quarrel with him wearing suits and tie.
The reason we are here is because someone suggeted that his choice ON THIS OCCASION is INFERIOR to A JACKET and TROUSERS. That is the issue here .

babyosisi:

They are
We are trying to be where they are

manny4life:

Haha, colonial mentality? You say?

I asked you to reconcile Fashola at BET awards and when he went loan shopping? Even the almighty Tinubu wore suit when he went for the DNC Convention...lol

I was waiting on their Dashiki abi it's called Agbada right?

aribisala0:
I do not work for those individuals and have not been speaking for them thus far,have I ?
What they do is nothing to do with me. I am talking about the STATUS of Yoruba dress internationally.

naijababe: I wonder why every thing that's supposed to be good turn to mush on NL, thanks for he comic relief at least

aribisala0:

It is not difficult to see the horizons of your cerebral territory

Akainzo:

Easy mate. He WENT to BET award, he WENT shopping, he WENT looking for investors. therefore he dressed appropariately to have a positive effect on the outcome of his mission.
This time around, SChmidt CAME TO visit, PAID HIM a courtesy call, met him AT HIS HOUSE, needed to be seen WITH him. So the equation has turned around and he thus can dictate what he chooses to wear.

Forget all your professional settings nonsense, it is because people need to keep their jobs, are in search of a daily bread, need the assistance, etc that they dress to conform. Once things change and tables are turned, Obama would wear a Chinese attire if that would ensure the continued greatness of the american economy.

babyosisi: This is more like it!!
Looking sharp!
Not looking like heis going to a bar to fraternize with college buddies

Afam4eva:
We can reach where they are no necessarily by carbon copying them. We have our own identity and we have to project and protect it. How can you even reach where they are if you're copying them. How do you want to be more American than the Americans.

manny4life:

Oh, now you do not work for them? Where you not same person posting picture about NOI and OBJ? Well then, let's kill the argument while it last and you stick with your idea and I stick with mine, but please, keep in mind when you raise up your colonial mentality, have it at the back of your mind that your leaders exhibit same mentality even when they cross the shores of Nigerian airspace... Like I said, let's KILL the argument...

manny4life:

Dude, you're late to the parrrie, I've answered all your rantings in my post. Again, different occasion for appropriate attire. CASE CLOSED.

ypzilanti: Nice. We need high speed internet at cheap rates in Lagos to drive commerce and business internet fraud business. Good payment solutions and courier services. Lagos State government should start thinking in the line of creating an agency to monitor and regulate e-commerce services internet fraud within Lagos so as to boost confidence.

aribisala0:
Yes I posted pictures of Soyinka too my focus all along is AFRICAN DRESS which I believe to be good enough for us. What is my business with Fashola or Tinubu other than we are talking of Fashola in this threadas the source of controversy?? How does any of that translate into working for them. How much abuse have I suffered from Eko Ile and Gbawe on their account. My Guy I think you are mixing me up with someone else. My issue is the flawed consciousness that produces the opinions you and that dunce Baby Osisi have been spouting here.Hopefully I will cause others to stop and think about what they wear and why.

Akainzo:

I am glad you have now seen the light! Have a drink on me when you settle down to it. Cheers!

Oluwaadajo:

.... But looking old from all the stress from leading that big ugly beast called Lagos.

manny4life:


You called it Middle east abi? Did you say London or NY?

I made a comment on that, so go back and read it again ... THANK YOU

You can't take away peoples' identity from them.

Dalai lama is a spiritual leader

Much like the pope

manny4life:


Dude, stop dancing around. Even Soyinka, I'll bet on it has worn suits nonetheless, irrelevant at this point You made a claim when you said "YORUBAS", you did not say some, or few or whatever fit the boat... so please, drop your line of argument. Next time you talk about colonial mentality, like I said, look no further to those around you.

Btw, there's no "flawed consciousnesses or reasoning here" - My stand has ALWAYS BEEN CLEAR. I admire our lovely attire, I even credited it to the few African ladies who wore some very nice designs to the Presidential Inaugural Ball. I have no beef with our attire, and I haven't said it's not good enough, all I said was "DIFFERENT OCCASION FOR APPROPRIATE ATTIRE".

Another confused (go figure)

Dude, learn to read... Even Aribasal0 makes better argument, NEXT.

babyosisi: Fashola should have dressed in something more professional
His outfit looks out of place at this meeting
They will think he was still in his pajamas
Doesn't he have a nice blazer with regular pants?
There is a time and place for certain outfits,he needs to learn that and adjust.
