coming from ijebu-igbo on my dad's side and abia state from my mom side, with links to fulani people of the north, i noticed that each tribe have a variation of clothing within their tribes. I am doing a little research on this, so can you guys share your pictures of clan wears within each tribe. please share non precolonial stuff.

Here are some links:

I already saw these, but thanks. I want something specific within each tribe. For example a man for ngwa clan would most wear ishi agu attire with the knitted red,white and black hat, while an igbo from anambra would wear the reg red cap, etc. So I just want a specified clan outfits in some of the tribes. p.s i dont like that you closed my other post about tribes- the link you referred me to though has a bit to do with tribal features, it has nothing to do with the context of my request- and i bet you didnt thoroughly read my post. anyways thanks.

You're right. Most Anambra and Enugu clans wear very similar attire while the ones in Ebonyi, Abia, Imo and Rivers tend to vary. Most Delta clans also wear similar attire. I think Abian attire varies the most, out of all the states in Igboland. I'm also from Abia state, and in a while I'll post pictures of the attire of the some Abian clans.

I apologize for the inconvenience regarding your other thread. The two threads were very similar and it wouldn't have been fair to others. However, just because it's locked doesn't mean you can't continue your topic on the other thread. I encourage you to do so.

Odumchi dear friend, excellent contributions, as he usually does!
Thank you!
I know this is a difficult topic, but: why only cover pre-colonial clothing?
I can be wrong, but although very interesting approach Mimifonwon sister (who is very pretty), and I understand that aims to understand the differences between various groups, it would be rewarding a contribution of pre-colonial times (if possible) . I understand that this last detail would be less "influenced" by foreign cultures, and reflect a greater degree the essence of each group.
Is only an opinion. -


As always, my greatest affection and esteem!

Thank you, Ptolomeus. I will try and see if I can find precolonial pictures if mimifonwon changes her mind (although I don't think there will be many).

@mimifonwon

These are how people of the Arochukwu subgroup dress. Some say our attire resembles that of the Efik. We also wear bowl hats as a political symbol.

Odumchi, i think it would have been very easy to enslave your ppl back in the olden days becos of these thick ropes around their necks. All you have to do is just grab an Arochukwu man, tighten the rope around his neck and start pulling him like Malu. buhahahah! man pikin go wound ooo.

Lol, very funny.

These ones are from the Onicha subgroup. Notice how these ones replace the white mboko caps and the father Christmas hats found in the Aro ones with red ozo caps.

Dear friend Odumchi.
Thanks for your continuing courtesies.
I stopped to watch especially photos Onicha subgroup, and especially necklaces.
The use of these collars, and in particular color, what they mean?
It is simply a custiòn aesthetics? Are there any ethnic background or religious hierarchy?
Anyone know what the reason is the traditional use of these collars?
Please excuse me my questions ...

I'm glad that this has caught your eyes. What collars are you referring to? Do you mean the Onicha necklaces or the Aro neckties?

@Guys,

Thanks.
