Facepalm. When was the last time you took an IQ test? I doubt your IQ is up to 60 (maximum) based on all your incoherent submissions. No pun intended.

What has wrapper got to do with European styled hats? Do Indians also tie wrappers? So why are you dragging that into the discourse when I already gave an example with Ghana kente being of Chinese origin, but since the way they wear them (style they use it for) is different from the Chinese, it's African. And I even went further with an example of cotton which isn't European and European clothes.

Perhaps, you don't understand the word 'style', huh?
You are not being coherent. Indians used to tie wrapper,does it make it unindian,snice Africans are populary known for tying wrapper. Indian clothes evolved from tying wrapper,so that is invalid. I juxtaposed the wrapper with the hat. Both were used in Nigeria. Both designs are African,eventhough they are currently imported.
You don't have to go back to insults. You truly have a penchant for being verbally aggressive even when you are wrong and unreasonable?

Stop fibbing and tell us what your traditional attire is or which one you identify with.

A black man with no traditional attire, no ethnic identity and who chooses not to identify with any ethnic group will not give a rats arse about what is African or Unafrican, which is what you have been all about on this thread.
Also, most people do not wear Changi with a cuff link. Most times, the sleeve falls some where between the elbow and wrist and is loose. But some of our traditional attires are sometimes worn with "cover" shoes not sandals. Does that make what their ensemble Unafrican?
You know what, lemme back up a bit. Are sandals with buckles, African? Did we have/make buckles back then or did we just wear slippers?

I'm sorry, nwaanyị, I don't identify with anything apart from being a freeborn black man. Just an nwoke eziokwu, a real ndi ala.

What do you identify with and what clan are you from?

You are just going back to your original defintion of African attire. It must not be produce in Africa but the natives must be associated with it.

Then Europeans have to start walking around nak3d because cotton isn't European.

Stop going around circles and make sense for once. Where the fabric is from is irrelevant. The style is the crux of the matter. Comprehende? undecided

Oh but the person you quoted wasn't limiting his arguement to just Igbo wears. You only didn't read well to understand it. I read his post and I got what he was saying. You're the one who actually made it an Igbo ( and by extension, Yoruba) thing.

Saying agbada or dansiki is shirt is akin to saying all wars are shirts. Both of those wears have nothing to do with shirts.

Secondly the sòkòtò which you called trouser is just name semantics. The only other option to wearing that is to tie clothes around the waist. But the Yoruba sòkòtò, from which the modern wears were modified, were of unique styles peculiar to Yorubas or Africans in the least. The materials used are also unique to same.

Stop confusing lemons with limes.
I limited my comments to Igbo cos he dismissed all attires including igbo as unAfrican. That is a wide generalization. If you want to criticise African attire,then you pick one and describe what makes it unafrican. Is that clear?
What he is describing as shirt has been in vogue before any european influence,modern adaptation and evolution does not make it UnAfrican. You are the one making references to local fabrics. Majority of African fabrics both Gele,Ankara,Wax prints, Lace and George are not African but it is associated with Africans,an identity marker. So your line of thought is narrow and invalid in this context.
Sokoto is a trouser,which you say evolved from wrappers. Snice trouser is an European term,does it make your sokoto unafrican? You call it sokoto,others call it trouser....does it mean they influenced your style,snice trouser and its derivatives are not associated with West Africa?
I don't see how a style is exclusively Yoruba or Hausa and when it's adapted by others it becomes UnAfrica.
You want me to believe that Agbada and Dashiki are not shirts?
Shirt is an European term for an upper body cover. An European will describe it as a shirt,but you wouldn't call it that. The problem is you and others have refused to understand that description and definition is not exclusive to anyone. Europeans call it shirts,you call it Dashiki,Igbos call it Chaangi. Am sure there are numerous names for it all over Nigeria. Just like how someone claimed gele is exclusive to yoruba without recognizing that it's name varies all over Nigeria.
Like i said,if Agbada and Dashiki is Arabian inspired,it is not African irrespective of any local material.

It's a an European styled shirt. This is a Thomas Pink shirt design below (compare the design with what the Ibo groom is wearing and you'll see that they're basically the same):



Also, look at the cufflinks. Are they also African? cheesy

So far,you 've not been able to convince anyone that Igbo attire is UnAfrican. Following your analogy, coral beads and buttons are unAfrican. It's a pity you can't say any stuff with writing mental unstability.

Go and learn pronunciations, then learn how to use indefinite articles before words beginning with consonant sounds.
