givean: Nice observation!. The early 1900's was the heart of colonialism. By that time, the African people had been conquered completely, our kings dethroned, social, political, and economic structure changed, and a European one imposed on us. As a result, the people then felt the white man and his god was superior and that we and our gods must be inferior. So, everybody then wanted to think and look like the white man in order to be seen as ''civilized'' and to survive in the new socio-economic and socio-political order created by the Europeans- something that's still with us till this day. 1 Like |

5thElement: Yes, he is very correct! Majority of Nigerians had no access to western clothes by 1913. Infact not until 1950 did most rural parts of Nigeria receive western clothes. Infact there are many rural parts of Nigeria that did not wear western clothes not until early 1980s. 1 Like |

StaffofOrayan: When he said 'clothes', I think he actually meant 'western clothes'. Besides, most of those pics you posted showed people from royal families. Many children and the poor masses/commoners and slaves were half naked when the whites came. 1 Like |

smith666999: When did cars start to exist? At 1913, majority of the Europeans themselves had no access to cars and 'tortise car' had not even come close to being created. 1 Like |

Nowenuse: Well maybe in the eastern part of Nigeria. Surely not in the western part. And please before you decide to start arguing with me pointlessly, Google is your friend. |

Am 100% certain all the individual saying "big boys indeed" back then in 1913 would either be slaves or be wearing leaves as clothes. |

In reality, they are not in White and Black. Because some of us are expecting to see DG, Versace, and Gucci... |

5thElement: Ok, so you mean that by 1913, every single person in the west was wearing western clothes, down to those in the innermost rural areas? Just few years after colonialism began? Really, reason it out yourself. |
Re: First Set Of Lagos Big Boys In 1913 (Throwback Photo) by Nobody: 6:26am On Apr 22, 2018 |
Nowenuse: No. The Yorubas have always had their own clothes. So you think when the colonizers came they met us n@ked and then gave us their western clothes to wear? Seriously? Way before the 18th century every single Yoruba adult was fully clothed and definitely not in European clothes. |

Pain: Well said. |
Re: First Set Of Lagos Big Boys In 1913 (Throwback Photo) by Nobody: 6:35am On Apr 22, 2018 |
Nowenuse: You are wrong again. Children may run around n@ked, not for want of clothing. Adults have always been fully clothed in Yoruba land. You wouldn't see a grown woman tying some strip of clothing to cover her breasts and the tie some mini wrapper to cover her ass. That's not the Yoruba style of dressing. |

5thElement: I am not disputing about native clothes. Hausas, nupes, Igalas, Kwararafans, Kanem bornus and many other Nigerians also had native clothes and were well covered before the Europeans arrived. What I and the other guy were disputing about is western clothes. When did western clothes reach all parts of yoruba land? |
Re: First Set Of Lagos Big Boys In 1913 (Throwback Photo) by Nobody: 5:49pm On Apr 22, 2018 |
Nowenuse: Oh ok. That I can't say for sure. Probably when the missionaries came around and those taken as slaves started returning all garbed in the white man's clothes I guess. |
