I love my benin attire
I love the Yoruba attire
I love the igbo attire too

y me: I love my benin attire
I love the Yoruba attire
I love the igbo attire too

Yme, Is it Benin or Bini? I always spell it as Bini. . . . not sure if that's right

Damn!! Laughing at my comments on this thread...

You guys need to stop messing with shymmex for real.

I'm not someone to mess with because I don't take bs..

I'm on NL to e-flirt with the chics and learn about the culture, stop pissing me off...

Shymmex is crazy, yo!!!

^ speaking in third person, is the first sign of madness. Just letting you know.

Lmao @ bored Shymmex and Tolaaani

Tolaaaaannni: ^ speaking in third person, is the first sign of madness. Just letting you know.

Lmao!!!

Tolaaaaannni: This are my favorite african attire
Nigeria- I love aso oke from the yoruba. (And im not being [b]biased [/b]here)
Nigeria- I also like the edo traditional attire
Nigeria- I like the fulani traditional attire.
Eritrea- I like the eritrean zuria
Somalia- I like their Diraac, but Im not going to post a picture because of some somali hating bantus that might misunderstand it for being obsessed and feeling inferior.
I also like kenyan attire

You don't have to say that. Personally I think they are the best when it comes to weddings. The fusion of colors, etc.
Hell, I even have a Yoruba wedding to attend tonight, but the iyawo is American. Hope it's more Yorubaish than American. No offense to my Americanas.

With Yoruba geles would be welcoming too

^^^Boring! Better stop sounding defeated and enjoy the thread.

staying on topic... i love this dashiki i bought in accra, i love rocking it with my igbo red hat (nairaland igbos, bite me!). then my kabiyesi cap in damask can never go wrong. and of course, as an ovbiedo kpataki, my long sleeve iwu with the royal swords ada and eben crested on it, is always a killer!

That kabiyesi hat is the ugliest of Yoruba traditional hats. I don't like how they look

I like this type from Ekiti state:






^^^ That's my Gov, y'all

lol..how can u say that? the kabiyesi hat has a distinctive look that makes it unique. isnt it what the alaafin rocks? hey, i guess it is reserved for powerful monarchs... but that ur ekiti hat looks like a blue version of the igbo red hat which also comes in black..

Yea, I suppose. But it's just not something I'd my bootycall to wear.
Chaiii!! Stop that one o @ last sentence. The Igbo red hat looks like the version of Ekiti hat (comes in multiple colors).

a man who knows his place in society is never a bootycall, he calls the booty(s) and they line up!

lol..ok. if it makes u happy.

Ileke-IdI:


Yme, Is it Benin or Bini? I always spell it as Bini. . . . not sure if that's right

The right spelling for it is actually Bini(eg: bini people, bini culture etc)
but when addressing the city its mostly written as 'Benin city'

y me:

O se n jare.

You'd be surprised

shymmex: Conclusion:

GELE IS A YORUBA ATTIRE WHICH LATER BECAME A SOUTHERN NIGERIAN ATTIRE!!!

If you've got a problem with the statement, let's debate it... I've got pictures of 17th century Yoruba, Igbo, Edo, Efik etc. women - and we should be able to see what they had on their heads...

Some people just like arguing like re.tards!!

I'd like to see some of the 17th century 'geles'. I believe its root comes from outside Nigeria, or at least multiple sources.

The bini traditional wedding attire

God, yme.

Ileke-IdI:
So which group started the ankle beads?

History lesson yo.

Not a Nigerian group that is for sure. Although it is African. I love Ankle beeds

BoboYekini: God, yme.

dear

y me:
dear

you're something, you know that?
