Arggg. . . . . . You know that's why we can't have good things.

Every dog gone time Igbo people are involved in something, some stupid ishh goes down. Thats why we can't even have a Nigerian Independence Day Parade anymore down here. Cause they always bring trouble. Now they just cancel the whole thing.

At first I loved this thread. I mean the Yoruba people had their music thread which I loved too because the music was all that. But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO can Igbo people have ONE peace thread here. . . . . I think not.

I give up with the ppl on this thread. I'm so glad I don't get on as much.

Onyiye has a point here, this thread started beautifully well, but seems to have deviated of late. Never mind the deviation, its part of the expression.

My first time coming to this thread and I have spent the whole night flipping from the beginning to the end.

To Osisi: GOOD THINKING AND GOOD JOB

To Ezeagu: THANKS

To Oyinye: DON'T GIVE UP

I have pains all over my ribs I developed due to excessive laughter reading through the thread, I am off, let me go and take some panadol!

@Aloy and tpia

I was always wondering how tpia knows when her name is mentioned on this thread, I never knew she was coming in to check on Aloy.

Aloy so why are u calling her a lesbian, when u are aware what she comes in here for. Ehhnn Aloy? angry

tpia never mind we would speak to him, does he still sleep in the house? undecided If not we would fine him 10 Akwu'ete wrappers all for u.

But in the mean time u should stop interupting us rudely, cos if other members of this thread did not bring it to our attention, we would have thought ur a lesbian cos u sound so bitter.

Aloy, Aloy, Aloy will u comon appear here and explain to us what exactly u did to tpia. angry

Re: Showcasing Igbo culture by osisi2(f): 7:32pm On Mar 18, 2009
Sometimes the confusion also arises as to what truly defines Igbo culture, take for instance clothes. What is indeed a true Igbo attire for the Igbo man and woman? We read that back in the day, our women usually adorned their bodies in Nzu, while covering their upper body and waist areas with pieces of akwete cloth. Agreed that civilisation no longer allows such mode of dressing but still there has to be another particular type of dress that should be adopted to signify or represent true Igbo attire.

The men are not left out too as they are also caught up in this apparent state of confusion regarding what the Igbo attire is. The traditional Isi agu dress worn mainly by people from Abiriba, Bende, Item, Ohafia and Igbere in Abia state will readily come to mind here but there is no general acceptance that the Isi agu is indeed a generally accepted Igbo dress. Neither are lace, brocade and abada materials. These all seem to be borrowed from other tribes. There has got to be a dress Ndigbo could adopt and use as their national attire.

At the wedding between Precious and Cordelier Osuala in Abuja sometime in 2007, this dilemma actually hit home. Alongside my friend Nze Sunny Ogbu and others, we really wanted to identify with our Igbo culture and felt that we could best do this by turning out in true Igbo dresses, but it was actually while discussing our options that we came to the conclusion that they were limited. We ended up wearing Isi-agu but we still felt that we could have done better, only that we didn’t know how else.
