Because they are not dressed in stifling voulminous robes in the suffocating heat of the rainforest? Because they are dressed to suit their habitat?

As recently as 1930 when the likes of John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie were already nominal dollar billionaires with massive industrial projects across North America, here we were in Africa - cave men with a primitive lifestyle. This thing sabi pain me.

You guys are just pathetic. What is primitive about those photos? The photos were taken almost a century ago. By the way, those guys look fresher and happier than most of you lots 100 years after. tongue

What proof that these she-men are Igbos or that this is the 1930s with such primitive unclothedness of the 11th century?

Op.... And whoever is in-charge of this section should as a matter of urgency close down this quack thread!!!!

This was never a picture of Igbo people in 1930s... Those Pictures are predominantly pictures taken as far back as late 19th and early 20th century before the scramble of Africa!!!!

Lalasticlala , Mynd44 , OAM4J ,Dominique, fynestboi and other mods... This is becoming unbearable, any fake news concerning Igbo nation is pushed to FP not minding the veracity of it.

Pull Down this thread Seun...
