The boys pictured look more like athletes and sportsmen than regular civilians. I find it hard to believe they were the archetype of males during the period. In the pictures another nairalander posted, why do all the females have exactly the same breasts? Were they beaten into shape for asthetic quality or heavy activity during their lifetime formed them to look so? 1 Like |

The funniest thing is the women you call masculine will still marry and you will still chop the rice upon all. No pictures of Yoruba because they've bleached so all evidence has been destroyed or black and white only preserved I don't understand how you can hate a tribe but be lightening your skin to appear beautiful when children can even identify the new race you have started with chemicals Whether or not you were civilized first everybody don catch up name a profession we all don't occupy Father's father worked at Railway Apapa Mothers Father was in the Military We all come from somewhere don't look back I have never observed Igbos deny their heritage We all have our downsides but hate will get us nowhere 4 Likes |

Aba women riot was in 1922 and the did not dress this way, all the pictures of igbo people during the indirect rule their were never any pictures like the one am seeing in this thread.it is a well documented fact that it is only the igbo people that was regarded by slaves master as"great" while the Yoruba''s where regarded as"barbarian" from the account of slaves and colonial masters their was never a time that the Yoruba are more civilized than the igbo except off cause the account been written by the Yoruba's themselves.any picture can be taken anywhere and claim to be igbo people.if we can reject the imposition of the warrant chiefs in the 20's and the 30's that show that we are educated and organized by then as such I refuse to accept those pictures are of igbo people besides we don't have such tribal mark 6 Likes |

AlphaCentauri: Guy e dey vex you say your people no dey light-skinned. Haba! If you like dey vex dey go. The light-skin trait is eternal. It will always be with the igbos, after you've given birth to black ugly yoloba children, have kicked a very hard bucket and have laid down your afonja cone head six feet deep into mother earth. It will always live on. Bro... it will always live on. 1 Like |

Ariani: Lol theres no point arguing,apart from marginal igbos of Onitsha,Asaba,Oguta,and Arochukwu,the rest of hinterland igbos had a very very low standard of living,were majorly peasant farmers,landlocked and didn't have access to the coast and hence the spoils of western goods,as well as being acephalous and not belonging to sophisticated empires. However,with colonialism ánd the gradual penetration of the hinterland,interior igbos through western education began to experience improved living standards and started migrating to the urban city centers.In fact because of how aggressively interior igbos pursued western education,majority of top administrative,business,occupations,govt and civil service roles started to be dominated by igbos,and the narrative of the igbo race started to change towards the progressive. 1 Like |

badnature:My dear Yorubas have always been more civilized than hinterland igbos.Yorubas belonged to empires,had ceremonial poise and even without western exposure,were able to develop their own unique clothing-buba and shokoto for men,aso oke for women and men too.I have come across COUNTELESS pictures of igbos looking crude and primitive even up till the 1940s.However,there is a significant DIFFERENCE between Marginal Igbos and Interior igbos.Marginal Igbos located by the rivers,were normally monarchial and had contacts with more progressive tribes and europeans and hence got civilized earlier.I know for a fact that the Aros had been wearing clothes since the 1700s,and as a matter of fact when they migrated to igbo hinterlands,the indigenes called them 'Bekee Mbu' because they were wearing clothes. 3 Likes |

kettykin:Those 'dead brown roof' buildings are pointers of early civilization.When those buildings were erected,interior igbos still lived in mud houses and ran about half clothed.the Oyo Empire is a grand and magnificent empire.Just because the present day Oyo indigenes might be 'lazy' compared to igbos,is even a pointer that they are still reaping the benefits and legacies left for them by their ancestors with foresights.In contrast interior igbos ancestors were only peasant farmers that couldnt leave legacies and heirlooms for their descendants,that s why igbo men 'todayhave to work twice as hard and hustle to make a name,because there''s no noble pedigree he can fall back on. 2 Likes |

ray78: You are simply a product of Awo inferior free education, if this is your contribution to this discussion. When the colonials came to Nigeria, they met the Igbo clans that had mastered the act of living in relative Peace with each other, they had perfected mini democratic republics with well enforced law and order with careful appreciation of each other's territorial borders, the end result was that the area though relatively small in landmass, was very densely populated. In contrast, in Yorubaland,the colonials met Yoruba clans incapable of getting over their primordial barbaric instincts to live at Peace with each other. The end result was that though they lived in relatively larger landmass, their area were sparsely populated as tribal clashes had taken many lives, and agriculture wasn't booming either, since men feared for their lives working in isolated farmlands with no protection. It is on record that Yorubas tired of their constant wars with each other, as they proved too barbaric and incapable of establishing peaceful societies like the Igbos had done, welcomed colonialism with open hands, as colonialism brought peace to odualand, where as the highly evolved Igbos having developed and mastered indigenous democracy, were aversed to the idea of surrendering their freedom to the colonials. I have come to understand that the average Yoruba man is delusional, so I'm not surprised by your above ignorant post. 4 Likes |
