Basically, am from southern Nigeria; Edo state to be precise and I base in las vegas ( home of casinos ) in the United State of America. Every Sunday while in church on my native attires I look so different from others base on my dressing code, many times it's kind of draw so much attentions which before now was kind of like making me feel so nervous and uncomfortable especially when some white folks come around to ask me were I come from based on my outfits, I tell them from Nigeria "o that oil rich country" they reply and out of curiosity I ask them why re they asking me where am from, they reply ur dressing look odd. I just tell them no I don't look odd rather I look unique and as an African I need to dress like a royalty , also I remind them that we African have our own ways in which we live and that I stand on, though I wear normal casual most often.
The reasons am writing this is to tell my fellow nairalanders that wherever you are always represent were you come from no matter what, trying to be like those white folks only makes you deny your origin thereby making yourself inferior. I see some of our brothers here trying to change their ascent, I always kick against that because every nations got their ascents which identifies them and distinguishes them from others, no matter How you try to form their ascent they still know you are not part of them, so why not just be yourself rather than fooling yourself ; to me that makes you lost anyway because you are neither here nor there "look warm" always rep nija my people. . God bless Nigeria

I seriously SHM when I see some people putting on a suit with Tie in a very Hot afternoon, all in the name of dressing, shouldn't they use their sense. Oyinbo design this for their weather not Ours.
