You are not wise. Coral beads were introduced to Africa by the Europeans.

Its not an African culture, let alone Edo one.
Binis and Edos were not the only Africans who took liking to Coral beads.Corals were introduced to Edoland as much as same times it was introduced in Igboland by the colonial powers.
You can't claim it to be Edo/Bini culture.

OPCNAIRALAND:


From African perspective, both!

Show me your father's house, and you're telling me there's no light. You can see how your wisdom can make you see your ears?

SHOW ME A TYPICAL IGBO BRIDE TRADITIONAL ATTIRE AND QUIT YAPPING

pazienza:


No such thing as that.

Ankara came to West Africa same time.
Yorubas can't wake up overnight and start claiming Ankara.
Yoruba culture is Ase Oke. Ndiigbo had Akwete.
Yorubas can't wake up overnight and come and be claiming Ankara. , an Indonesian clothing culture.

pazienza:


This Igbophobic Ijaw man again?

All over America's, the Igbo culture was felt and known.

Nobody knows your inconsequential Ijaws. Deal with it and leave Ndiigbo out of your psychosis.

Kagawa10:


You simply forgot what Adire is? It was Adire that got modified to Ankara! Yoruba owns ankara, disputing it is foolishness!

pazienza:


You are a normal Ignorant, yet delusional Yoruba person.

Everyone with Brain knows the Indonesian- Dutch origin of Ankara.

How exactly Yorubas think they can wake up overnight and start using their Lagos-Ibadan den Of falsehoods and propaganda called print media to propagate their agenda in this ICT age is beyond me.

Kagawa10:


How is Adire Indonesian? Is it an Indonesian name?

You're really stupid if you don't know that Yoruba has been making Adire before Ibo ancestors even came to be.
Check out this: http://life.guardian.ng/2016/07/a-short-history-of-adire/

And Come back to tell me how it is an indonesian culture? Foolish being!

AjiereTuwo:

pazienza:


Hello! We are talking about Ankara here, WTF is Adire?

Kagawa10:


At least you realised you're an Ignorant doofus!

Just look at this

Do tell me if Ankara doesn't look similar to these Adire above? The fact that we modified it into Ankara doesn't negate the fact it's our culture! Get some sense!

pazienza:


You need full psychological examination.
We are talking about Ankara, not Adure or whatever. Stay on topic.
Most Igbos don't know about your Adire, what we know and wear are Ankara.

Kagawa10:


Lmao!

Adire is simply Ankara and Yoruba owns the art! If you don't know that, then you need your brain checked!

pazienza:


Now, this my people, is a living example of frank psychosis.

Kagawa10:


You're so dumb I swear! That you're Jealous of Yoruba arts doesn't mean you have to be stupid!

pazienza:

Jealous of Gini? You are definitely a lost cause.

Igbo is a big group.

No single typical Igbo clothing style.

Those Igbos close to the Atlantic, adopted the same clothing style from the Europeans as the rest of non Igbo speaking coastal tribes.

Igbos close to Efik/Ibibio/Annang areas, adopted same clothing style as them.
The Anioma adopted same clothing style from the Europeans, alongside the Edo and Edoids.

Those of us in the Middle, developed our own unique clothing styles too.

So, you don't really come and say " Igbo typically bridal" attire.
It is bound to differ according to the Bride's place of origin, or in this day of "pan Igboism", a bride from one Igbo cultural area might choose to wear the clothing style of another Igbo cultural area she likes.

Sanchez01:

So you're telling me that there's no standard bridal dress mode due to the many cultural differences in Igboland, yeah?

How about we stick to the five eastern states before going outside to some areas of the South South? How about you share that of Enugu or Anambra, or even Abia state? If you're telling me this, then you're indirectly saying your cannot provide the aforementioned probably because LG defines clothings and all for couples particularly the brides.

Urhobo as an ethnic group, is very broad with sub-sects and slight variations cum diversities, YET bridal dressings stay the same. The Yorùbás are scattered by variations, sub-groups, etc but also come to reckon with their dressings during weddings, particularly traditional weddings. The same applies to the Hausas.

Let's start with where YOU'RE FROM. HOW ABOUT THAT?

Onijagidijagan:

na u be omo-ale cuz u have left ur ancestral land to seek for greener pasture among afonja which is modern day slavery.

We need more people like u to slave more for d superior afonjas.
Ewu-Anuofia

Urhobo is just Eight local government areas.
Ngwa sub group of Igbo for example is made up 7 local governments areas, same as Nsukka sub group.
Yorubas had a central setting provided by Oyo empire, Hausas got centralized by Fulani colonists.

Ndiigbo never had such central convergence, each group developed independent of the other.

Sanchez01:

So this is your defense, just so because you can't tell what brides adorn in Igbo Traditional marriages?

Yorùbás HAD a centralized setting, BUT NOT ANY MORE! Haba! Why are you going back and forth? All I asked for was simple and you're here giving me Bashorun Gaa's history. Who cares about that? Can you please provide pictures and stop these hide and seek? I uploaded Edo and Bini pictures earlier. Now do same for Igbo brides. I, for one, would love to learn and add to my knowledge.

pazienza:


If you want Igbo bridal dressings, google is your friend.

I'm sure you can find thousands of them there, there are even NL topics on that.

Stop detailing this topic.
Topic is about Ankara clothing a group of Igbos were pictured wearing.

Which so far, I had proven is of Indonesian- Dutch origin, and not of any Nigerian group.

Kagawa10:


LOL! What a delusion!

You proved nothing! That Yoruba modified their Adire and incorporated some foreign techniques into it doesn't negate the fact that Yoruba started the crafts and the tribe known to wear the craft is Yoruba, Not Ibos!

pazienza:


Well, the cloths the Igbo people OP pictured were wearing Are Ankara, and Of Indonesian- Dutch origin.

Why then is he ascribing them to his Afonja people?

Kagawa10:


Because it's the Afonja that are known to wear such crafts, not the Ibos! Hence, the dismay!

Kagawa10:


LOL! What a delusion!

You proved nothing! That Yoruba modified their Adire and incorporated some foreign techniques into it doesn't negate the fact that Yoruba started the crafts and the tribe known to wear the craft is Yoruba, Not Ibos!

pyxon:



Afonja R shameless people. See how they are claiming someone elses culture

Kagawa10:


Osu AFONJA are the worst! They have no culture and rather steal someone else's, only to eventually claim it at the end!

pazienza:


Lol! What craft? Ankara?

Same Ankara that my great grandmother wore?

You lots are delusional.
Ankara, pronounced as "Akara" by Ndiigbo had been used in Igboland since the coming of the Europeans.
