What are you insinuating Mr?
Do you mean to say you guys are superior to Nigerian women?
Well I'm afraid to burst your bubble because it wouldn't be hurt to say you're dreaming. You know that.

Arabs dont wear it, Ethiopians dont wear it, who else wears this?

Ethiopians dont wear it, only somalis do. Only cause of islam now the women cover their hair and arms.

Re: Nigerian Women Vs Somali Women In History by somal: 2:09pm On Sep 26, 2013
Again, you can see it is across clan lines, All somali clans wear this. Its something somalis wear and no other group wears. Even the colors are the same that we wear it in.

Proudly YORUBA
proudly NUPE
proudly HAUSA
proudly BINI
proudly FULA


thank GOD were wearing cloth before them. Read about this books by missionaries

in Africa jungle and forest by R.H. Stone

Military in 19th century Yoruba land by Robert Sydney Smith.

They all have all in common; Yoruba were civilised, wore cloths, bathed daily, and they were the highest urbanisation rate in Africa, higher than USA: thanks to the intra-tribal Yoruba wars.


Thanks to the Hausa and the Sahelian races that gave us AGBADA or flowing male robes THOUGH WE HAD OUR BUBA that was smaller or Lap reaching size and short sleeve; thanks to the Yoruba that gave Hausa GELE or headgear.


Proudly W. Africa.

first of all somalis were never christian. and somalis have been muslim for 1,300 years.


and no other group wears our clothing, so its indegenous to us.

Ethiopians dont even wear our clothing, and the clothing is indegenous and was adapted to the climate.

we worshipped Waq. Ethiopians like the amahara and tigrey were christians. the vast majority of cushitics worshiped waq. Thats why in somalia their is a city called cabudwaq. which literally translates to 'worship waq'

Waq is a crow, the word for crow in somali is tuke, which is the word for pray today.


many of the people worshiped this crow creature even in ancient egypt
