No, not anymore. I already got it out of my system, playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3. I only made the statement I made because I got a little tired of the back-and-forth Yoruba v. Igbo over attire. Clothes are clothes. Diffusion occurs. Culture spreads, develops, adapts, is redesigned. It happens. If it were something more pertinent, then I guess my reaction would have been different. . or I might not have even reacted at all.

am loving this thread more and more

Keep playing your game. Just ignore it next time.
Try not to mind me if my posts are too much of a bother.  
I'm a very observant and a very curious person, esp when concerning Nigerian tradition.

Oh no, don't mistake me abeg. It wasn't you. It was what you said (trying to bring the discussion back to the topic). I was only stating that I was waiting to see who would be the first to do that. It wasn't said in any way for or against any person. It was just an observational type of thing.

Are we breaking up or sth?
Oh well, it was great while it lasted.

Here we go again with Ileke claiming everything is yaruba! Ileke, can you please describe Igbo attire and kindly show me the difference it has with the yoruba attire!!!!! Since you have a massive idea of what is termed " Igbo attire". That material was not made by the yarubas neither was the style of sewing invented by the yarubas!! I know you wish to make your tribe appear original but you dont have to tell malicious lies to achieve that!!
Senegalese,Tchad,Mali and some nothern and eastern African country has being using that style of sewing before ODUDUWA started thinking about was born, so;please stop already!! Thats not yoruba style not even million years close!!

No derailing

As for the Onitsha chief you posted his pics; He is an Igwe cabinet member and if you study that Ofala Onitsha thread you will notice there are few of them wearing that hat and its even different from the Kings own. Moreover,they dont wear it through out the occastion;they wear it only when coming in,greeting the crowd,dancing to the ufie music(egwu ndi eze) and during othet significant activities, so,my dear tis very organized and this has existed for over 6000 yrs!! However,whenever they are not wearing that hat during the Ofala you will spot them wearing the Nze na Ozo red hat, which Igbo ppl are famous for. And the cabinet members traditionally wear it underneat the kings cabinet hat(okpu ndi ichie). So,as you can see,not everybody wears that big hat with feathers,moreso;everything that you see on that Ofala hat signifies something,so,its not just about sticking feathers on your hat  without stating why you doing it. . . In summary,wearing that Ofala hat simply means that the man has accomplished all the Nze na Ozo title(ochizugo) and also has gone ahead to become an Igwe cabinet (onye Ichie)representing his village at the royal house!! Ileke,you see what I meant when I said Igbo culture is very rich and authentic!!!

ijaw_girl, no mind them. dont stoop to that level. The outfits are a collage of beauty.

To be honest all the hats with feathers are over the top

I always like eastern attire and festivals. They are always colorful and never dull unlike a certain part of the country(chyz looks and points to the left)

our people like to consume but produce little

@Ijaw girl, I think I might have mixed it up but if only the river state people dress like that then I believe they are from river state and not cross river.
