Today, at a federal court in Abuja, a federal high Court judge ruled that the MAIN traditional Igbo dress, The Ishi agû will NEVER be worn in her Court by a man from the Igbo ethnic group, who's being "tried" in her Court... This outrageous ruling, which came as a result of her inability to get The DSS to allow Nnamdi Kanu to change his dress in his different court appearances, is most probably the biggest attack directed at the igbos by Federal Nigeria in recent times. Nothing of this sort has ever happened in Nigerias recent history.

To put this into some sort of context, not even during the traumatic trials of MKO Abiola, was the culture of the Yorubas subjected to this kind of judicial violence. Not even during the trial of Awolowo or Mustapha or anyone in the history of high profile trials in Nigeria was the cultural dress of the suspect subjected to such abuse and ridicule, not just by security agencies but also by the trial judge. And this is supposed to be a well constituted court of law. That justice Binta Nyako is struggling to enforce her order on the need for The DSS to allow Nnamdi Kanu change his dress, is in itself a national disgrace.

This brings us to the issue of the motives behind the judicial abracadabra going on in Abuja at the moment. It's obvious that if what Femi Fani Kayode once revealed that the president told him directly is the truth..,that what is about to go down between his government and the Igbos is nothing but a "cultural war", then this country is being pushed to the precipice by those who are supposed to protect her. You need nobody to tell you that the ultimate aim is to insult, humiliate, taunt, ridicule and undermine not just Kanus abilities to protect his people but the Igbo culture in general.

It's amazing that everyone in this country will keep quiet while this state supported attacks on a people, her culture and heritage by the supposed government of their country, goes on ceaselessly. Folks conviniently cite the IPOB-ESN activities as the reasons to justify the federal government apartheid policies towards the east, yet the emergence of these group and her activities, are nothing but the direct results of a wayward presidency that turned normal democratic differences into a full blown ethnic war. The attack on The Igbo dress by one Binta Nyako must NEVER stand. It's wrong, it's unconstitutional and it's a direct attack on the culture of over 50 million igbos world wide.

The "Ishi agû" dress is not just an Igbo dress, it's also a Nigerian national dress. Until now, it has never been subjected to this sort of abuse by any state institution. A Nigerian court can not allow Nigerians dressed in western suits to operate freely inside the court premises, while banning the national dress of a major ethnic group in the country. All men of goodwill must speak up now before this government and her allies within the legislature and the judiciary institutionalizes these segregative culture of parochialism and tribalism as state policies..

Piglets

To be honest, this is an appropriate response.
Let them come arrest us all!

Nigeria and her leaders: a waste of time.

Na to flood the ishi agu for t-shirts, singlets, handkerchiefs and boxers remain. Every fabric should have the logo imprinted, let haters jump inside lagoon

It's suicidal to wear cushion chair cloth inside hot weather.

Lol.. the leather fabrics sabi soak urine wella.

Just the beginning

Piglets and wailing are like 5 and 6

Why do you want to kill yourselves on a foreign/imported fabrics. Your ancestors did not wear isi agwu until the whites arrived to clothe them up. Isi agwu is a foreign culture not an ibo culture.

It sounds funny to you but Buhari had pictures of him donning the isi agwu attire in 2015, suddenly he is in government, that same attire is forbidden.

Nnamdi Kanu is a prisoner of the zoo and so he cannot be allowed to wear what he likesr but only what the zoo allows him to wear. Whenever he finds himself in Kenya again, he can restock on his wardrobe

We love ishiagu

This move would win Kanu more empathy... honestly, it seems like a direct attack on the IGBO culture.

No body is stopping anybody from wearing any cloth..
DSS gave their reasons .. they’re scared.. to test the waters .. April .. igbos should go to court wearing isi agu.. simple .

Dress code isi agu.. not coming online to rant on how they’re marginalized and bla

This generation of igbos go Dey cry for plenty things .. things dey older generations ignored to be where they’re today.

Igbo should understand this truth and wake to reality.. if they keep complain over everything .. Like yoruba people ..
they will wake up seeing owerri turned to Ekiti or Osun .. backward fill with chronic hunger and acute poverty.. but doing well according to NBS Yoruba statistics.

Actions are far better than too much talk...

Talks can full basket ..

this is the dress kanu should request.

Isiagu was just an excuse.

Anything to make kanu continue to stay in prison without trial is what they want actually.

Nigerian judicial system. Heavily controlled by the executive.

We see people caught with skulls but have never seen were judgements has been passed on them or terrorists. What about drug pushers etc.

The time ugm and ESN reply them and ban and decree death to anyone wearing babariga in the east, the whole nation Wil start shaking to its hypocritical foundation. It seems the federal government is more problematic than ipob

This is the solution on April, everybody should wear isi agụ to the court ,let's see heaven fall. This people have only made isi agụ more popular than it has been .
This is the biggest miscalculation , gaffe and judicial blunder since 1914, this case has taken a new turn.

Which other people wear isi agụ on the face of the earth. Before the foreign isi agụ, there were locally made isi agụ. Isi agụ is symbolic and not just paper print design

Walai only if igbos understand their place in this country, how Nigerians see them.. igbo go Dey Walai Dey bounce head tight ..

To see igbos complain is something Yoruba people derives joy in.. they hate it when igbos live good .
And this new generation sabi complain of everything.. so silly. .. and it’s not wisdom.

Make dem try to leave complains for Yoruba people .. is part of their tradition. Reason why government decide everything for them. Without choice .

April let isi agu be the Abuja color

You are a.disgrace.
