okpurukata: I wish our NASS can promulgate a law that makes it compulsory to wear traditional on Fridays. Imagine what the impact will be on the textile industry alone. The ripple effect continues, to the tailors/fashion designers.

On a recent trip to India, I was amazed to see that they wear their traditional sari even to work, including bankers.

I really appreciate friday dress down, but unfortunately, my Bank does not allow it. Suit suit suit all through the week

The bolded points out Africa's follow follow mentality in so many things occidental
I don't believe our native attire[s] hinder banking duties,functions in any way whatsoever

Wearing native promotes our culture and on fridays shows how social we are

[quote author=patanjaly]Because in islam friday is day require for you to wear your best clothes(in northern nigeria native dress are seen as islamic attire while shirt n trousers as christian) [/quote

I was gonna say somewhat the same
Friday is praying-day for muslims, so in f.ex Gambia/Senegal that is the biggest reason why.
I would think that for a christian country, it would be sundays instead of fridays, but guess I was wrong.

I do envy africans native dresses, the way much of it is coming. It comes in all shapes and sizes and lenghts, with so much beautiful decoration, and it CAN be worn every day. And many women do wear it everyday.
My native dress can not be worn every damn day, it takes too much work, and it is heavy, and it is too damn hot in the summer ( made of 100% wool ).

Friday is a special day see me in my office with my native attire

it's almost weekend and people usually start their faaji from friday afternoon.

I hope the nigerian christians in future will not tag the act as another islamization of nigeria.

i have a question. say if i belonged to the Hamer tribe. would i then be allowed to go to office in this attire:

wem88: Puttn on native wears on friday makes you look nigerian

JideTheBlogger: I think Naija Muslims started it....

Not only Fridays. I see people wear native more on Saturday for weddings, burial and/
or Sunday to church.

Very interesting...didn't know about this trend. I guess this is Naija's version of casual Fridays. I like it!

White collar jobs, as they are fondly called are official positions and must be treated formally. However, because we are africans and need to promote our culture, a less serious working day, usually towards the weekend(friday) is chosen to celebrate what makes us African (our Ankara nd oda native wears). That's what makes it special!
