Before the White man came to Africa, most Africans had only loin cloths as clothing with the women exposing their b.reasts just as natural as we expose our faces or arms today, there was no shame involved. When the Europeans landed on our shores, most cultures adapted their clothing to what they obviously acquired from the Europeans. My point here is that most Nigerians today complain about losing our African culture when a Nigerian dresses in a certain way especially the women and they say they are imbibing western cultures especially when they wear revealing dresses with parts of their b00bs on display, forgetting that before the white man came our women actually exposed all of their b.reasts, it is in Western cultures that the women cover their b.reast.

Also, when I see people dressing up in different traditional attires and say this is their cultural attire, I wonder why we chose to identify with those attires that were non-existent before the Europeans came to our shores. If we are really interested in sticking to our native cultural dressing then it will be the loin cloths which was worn for centuries before the white man came. The current traditional clothes we are claiming are not traditional but came as a result of European influences.

My whole point here is that culture is dynamic, so whatever people are wearing today generally is the culture.
