semitunde: I am saying when i see pictures of Nigerian from hundred years ago, many have little to no clothes, but those pictures are just the last 60 or so years. Maybe it depends on the tribe. 1 Like |

axum: Naa. You were seeing the wrong pics. I personally have several very old pics of my parents and grand parents but I just don't want to put them online. Else you'd have seen people in traditional clothes as far back as the 1930s. I mean if you can have people having their own personal photographs at that time, with clothes on, having western education voluntarily, you think people walking around naked would care for such? Truth is, Africans, Yorubas especially have being dressing up since humans started dressing up anywhere, and had their own cultural dressing long before any white stepped on the African shore. 35 Likes 4 Shares |

axum: Look up Yoruba pics from late 1800s, they are dressed up in wrapper and/or buba. It's because of Luggard that you think Nigerians civilized at the same rate. 19 Likes 3 Shares |

The question is how many picture do we know of personally from before 1940 except the whites showed to us? My grandmother died almost 30 years ago at about 80 years old, that makes her date of birth to between 1895-1905. She made adire, she said she knew her own grandmother made adire which was passed to her daughter my great grand mother. They wore better clothes than what we have now walking nudely about the whole town. To the op, wonderful pictures brother. Seeing the beauty of these pictures makes me wonder about how long we've hated our individual selves. axum: 9 Likes 3 Shares |

Ilekeh: Why exactly must Yorubas bring Ndiigbo into their madness? Is this inferiority complex or what? Can't you just pretend for once that Ndiigbo doesn't exist, and stop comparing yourselves with Ndiigbo? 15 Likes |
Re: Pre-independence Yoruba Women by Ilekeh(f): 12:47am On Jan 17, 2015 |
pazienza: Did inferior complex force you to open a Yoruba thread and post irrelevant material just to be noticed? I was being honest in my assessment. It's fact. If I was lying, you could have objected. Since I'm not, why not just post the issue. Yorubas are Nigerians, so are igbos. Conversations will inevitably link the two. 39 Likes 1 Share |

Ilekeh: I opened the thread cause I was expecting such post, and I wasn't disappointed. You brought in an ant infested firewood and you wonder why the lizard came to pay you a visit? Next time you open a Yoruba thread, stick with your Yoruba chest beating and leave Ndiigbo out of it, if you don't want your thread derailed and end up in tribalism section. 13 Likes |

It was that same makeup that destroyed our beauty. Before the white people make their creams or materials for body or human consumption, They check it out with a white mice. white is a weak recessive germ, Thus the white people create their stuffs for their bodies and use alone. When a dominant gene person uses these stuffs over and over again over a very long period of time, it begins to penetrate as deep as into the DNA, one of which many functions is recording informations that would be passed down to descendant. thus we have so many not standard looking infact, and in truth we black people on the planet have lost that standard beauty of ours. it does not end with makeup, it includes wigs, today, there is also a lot of transplanting, and overtime, GOD knows what we will be giving birth to. Anything we want or need, must be produced by ourselves as black people for ourselves the black people. KMB: 1 Like 1 Share |
