I know that this might seem silly but can someone explain this to me...what if the bride and groom are from two different tribes eg, Groom - Igbo and Bride - Edo. which tradition does the wedding follow then? or do they have to have two?..

Effik Wedding Attire

One thing you will love to know about the Efik traditional attire is its distinct cultural mix. It’s quite easy to mistake an Igbo bride for an Edo bride, but when you see an Efik bride and groom, you know without a doubt.

The bride wears a fancy attire known as Ofong Ukod Anwang which includes a blouse (covering only the bust) a knee-length skirt, and fancy beaded body adornment or a long flowing gown called the Onyonyo. There is also the hair pins and a decorated staff which is carried by the bride.

She also wears her hand and leg gears know as Ekpa ku kwa, with her neck adorned with coral beads. The groom wears white or sometimes gold color shirts with colorful wrappers known as the Usobo. Added to this is a beaded jacket, beaded shoes and a top hat with a long piece of cloth (Okpomkpomon) which they hang around their necks.


Why do their women look menacing shocked shocked

If you ask me i think the 6 tribes highlighted above are all unique in their own ways.
In terms of colours, i give it to the efik and the kalabaris. Their bride are always colorful
In terms of beads and other accessories, the edos have it.
When it comes to glamour and show off, you can give it to the yorubas and the igbos
When it comes to simplicity and beauty, abeg na the notherners get am any day any time. Their brides dress in a very simple form yet beautiful and mind you when i say simplicity am not talking about the amount of the dress o. The bride dress can be worth 500k but yet look very simple, i know this because i stay in an hausa community though am from Ogun state and i see them do their wedding every day.
Above all no tribe is better than the other because in diversity lies our strength.

Something u clearly didnt observe is that:

IGBOS HAVE COPIED EDO TRADITIONAL ATTIRE & IT HAPPENED RECENTLY.

Igbos never used to wear dt beaded blouse over wrapper. Even up to d early 2000's they didnt dress like dt in their native weddings. They used to wear their various embroidered top wt diff double wrappers &arrange like 2 strands of beads in their hair. Now i see theyve also stylishly adopted d edo beaded headpiece. Igbos should go online and research their REAL culture. This is not it. SMH.

The Ijaw/ Kalabari Wedding

The Ijaw, Kalabari bridal attire is simply breathtaking! They love to wear coral accessories, the crown and chunky coral beads.

The dressing of an Ijaw man will not be complete without the bowler now better known as ‘resource control’ a hat and a walking stick.

Both men and women like to complement their very rich tunics and expressive feather hats with expensive coral beads and gold.

We have several other traditions and marriage attires but I think these are the most worn in Nigerian marriages. Marriages they say are made in Heaven but celebrated here on earth.

In Nigeria, marriages are sacred and should be celebrated in a more sacred manner which is the traditional way. This does not in any way negate the efficacy of the white wedding.

So why not try some of these attires for your wedding?
Bro.... that isn't Ijaw attire..... that belongs to Kalabari....

The Efik brides. Why are they all frowning, dem force dem marry or its part of their culture to go frowning during marriage?

I was equally wondering about the frowning. Proudly Calabarian. Our pics most times are snapped while smiling
