The oldest Iron site in Nigeria is in "Lejja, Enugu state".
https://www.journalajst.com/geophysical-investigations-locating-buried-iron-slag-lejja-southern-nigeria
It even made news in 2018
https://thingsnigeria.com/2018/02/14/lejja-the-worlds-oldest-iron-smelting-site-in-nigeria/

I doubt there is any Yoruba that actually research

Enugu news and Nigerian journalists. I doubt that there is any igbos that actually research. The most important iron sites is in Yoruba land, Ife ,and the first to actually usher an iron age. And that my friend, is why Yoruba ancient art is more well known. On that same page.

Low iq and Inferiority complex is affecting you. You have lost the plot, are you arguing against traditional braided Yoruba hairstyles now too, shuku, Didi, koroba, irun Kiko, patewo, Omole gogoro, Ipako Elede, etc. They wore several hairstyles, including that too and also head dress called Gele. Like I said, don't project. There are pictures Ashanti women with buns doesn't mean they didn't do other hairstyles. You need to take yout drugs fam.
You don't worth a dirth on my shoe.

I wonder why you people are ashamed of your ancestors. It's like the shame blocks every reasoning that you can't even notice the date in the pictures you are masquerading as them.
First I pointed out the one of 1957 clothing. Now 2000 hairstyle as your ancestor of 1800

I don't know why you are struggling. Is the shame that deep? Or what? I don't understand.
The pictures have date tags. Just look at them

I've posted several pictures from the 1800's and from the early 1900s too, which you choose to ignore. You're just an idiot, you have no point so you are trying your hardest to cope whichever way you can. And you can't even spell, what a dunce, "dirth". And that one picture was commissioned in 2000 but was taken in the 60's as apart of a visual art series, ode. There was no camera in the 1700s so I can't go further back. Meanwhile you can't post anything of your people rotflmao.

That is where they will be disgraced like that fake Oyo calvary.
Yorubas don't even have indigenous clothing but most of them here don't know.
Like the OP bundarina, most of them swallowed the fake things their dubious blogs and fake historical books fed them whole but God/Nature has a way of doing things.

She (Nature) makes them to jump into arguments like this so that they will be exposed and helped to reconnect to their roots (Their original history and culture that they are running from).

In matters like this, I present evidences that makes them realise that those books have been deceiving them all along. For example, the picture below, just one have already summarised who clothed Yorubas and where the cloth came from. The picture is of Sudanese Fulani. You can see Aso oke, Aso whatever and other names they call them in one picture.

lol this is Yoruba in the 1800s .... already fully clothed.

@ Emboldened, look at who is talking about spelling, starting a sentence with "and"
Mtcheww... So it has reached to the extent of policing another man's language. You guys are the most pathetic. No single dignity, Nothing.

Oga your pictures have their dates stamped to it. The oldest there is 1950.

If, I repeat "IF" Ndigbo are as Shameless as Yorubas, we would be posting pictures like the one below when asked of our traditional clothing. We would claim it is 100% Igbo when in reality it is a mixture of Igbo, Western (British) and Sahel.

This picture of Obi Okposi is actually older than the one of Alaafin and his wives rocking Chinese hairstyles.

Stop starting a sentence with "and" if you want to continue living up to your inferior status to English people.

What you saw in that my comment might be the fact that will differentiate you from the dimwits gobbling Ewedu in Yorubaland. It is a proven archaeological research with results.
Whether you like it or not, Ogun and Obatala kids stories are not used in any academic discussion. It is just stories for kids. Stories conjured by Yorubas to deceive themselves alone. So keep that in mind when talking about "oldest this and that"

The oldest Iron site in Nigeria is Lejja in Enugu state. If you have any archaeological evidence to justify your childish story bring it on not fooling yourself with kids stories. Everybody isn't as dumb as you people.

Last but not the least, who made you inferiors the fashion police of Eastern region? Or has any "other ethnic" group complained of Igbo appropriating their clothing? Or do you have proof that Igbo ever appropriated any cloth?
Or can you differentiate Igbo clothing from Ibibio and Efik?

These few questions already explains the stupidity in Yorubaland. You guys are simple dying in inferiority to the native Igbo magnificent clothing.

There is a reason why I ignored the Bini ignoramus that was blabbing here because I believe he doesn't know anything about Bini.

In as much as I prefer Ndigbo go with a more distinct attire, that attire you now call Bini has roots from Igboland.

There is something you Yorubas need to do before putting your mouth into what doesn't concern you. I hope both of you are listening @YourNemesis and Saukruat,

Always ask the other side before making yourself emergency police, defender and judge at the same time.

There is a reason why the court of Bini always denounce claims from confused Igbo groups in SS. They know that the more the issue is flogged the more the origin of all they call theirs is exposed. Atleast today, you've seen where the acclaimed Bini dressing came from.
If we go more on this, you will end up seeing where the inspiration for Iguedo mask came from.
Do you know that today is Afọ Market day in Bini?

As for our neighbours on the Eastern side. Have you seen any of them complain of anything in regards to what you people are confusing yourselves on?
Nope, because what you thought was peculiar to them is a shared thing between them and southern Igboland. The origin is Igbo that spread to them through Arochukwu.
A typical native clothing of Ibibio and Efik origin is weaved grass and rafia.

Below are pictures from maiden Festival in Arochukwu

You Yorubas should learn to mind your business.
Ask Bini what okuko mean first or what Ikegobo mean.

So we should leave what has origin from Igboland because a bunch of people that call themselves Bini adopted it. No Afonja you are lying.
You are seriously lying. No one tells an Igbo man what to do especially when he is on his own turf.
