Agbada originates from Arabs not from Yoruba or Hausa.

Dsimmer:


Biggest lie! Arab wear Jalabiya. Does Osama bin laden wear Agbada for example? Arab wear Jalabiya.

In 1772, Robert Noris while writing about Africans living in Africa talked about the Yoruba Agbada which were made in Eyo (Oyo), as far back in 1772. That was even before the colonization of Nigeria.

Robert stated that these clothes were worn by aristocrats while adding that the clothes were actually made in Eyo (Oyo). It was rather Yoruba who exported Agbada to Subsaharan and Saharan through trading

That you modified it to your taste does not mean it originates from Yoruba after all it is same parachute worn all over Sahil and west Africa.

Dsimmer:


What a lie! I'm dealing with facts here! According to Robert Noris, Agbada was made in Eyo (Oyo) and exported. Even before the Fulani came with Islam to Hausa as a matter of fact.

I told you already that the Arabs wear Jalabiya which is sow from top to bottom like sleeping night dress. Arabs don't wear Agbada but Jalabiya.

It was Yoruba who exported Agbada to Subsaharan and Saharan!

When did Yoruba start making cotton,which century?
Back up your claim with evidence.So Hausa and other semi arab Africans borrowed babariga aka agbada from Yoruba?

Dsimmer:


Consensus by who exactly?

I deal in fact, not stupidity. Before Islam was in Hausa land, Yoruba was making Agbada in Eyo (Oyo) and exporting it, according to Robert Noris. Point is Arabs wore nothing like Agbada whereas Yoruba egungun, Obadimeji egungun, Eyo (Eyo Adimula) etc have similar design as Agbada!

Well this article was written by a Yoruba man who obviously knows more than you.


Regions for the Agbada

It is worth mentioning that the agbada is not exclusive to the Yoruba, being found in other parts of Africa as well. It is known as mbubb (French, boubou) among the Wolof of Senegambia and as riga among the Hausa and Fulani of the West African savannah from whom the Yoruba adopted it. The general consensus among scholars is that the attire originated in the Middle East and was introduced to Africa by the Berber and Arab merchants from the Maghreb (the Mediterranean coast) and the desert Tuaregs during the trans-Saharan trade that began in the pre-Christian era and lasted until the late nineteenth century. While the exact date of its introduction to West Africa is uncertain, reports by visiting Arab geographers indicate that the attire was very popular in the area from the eleventh century onward, most especially in the ancient kingdoms of Ghana, Mali, Songhay, Bornu, and Kanem, as well as in the Hausa states of northern Nigeria. When worn with a turban, the riga or mbubb identified an individual as an Arab, Berber, desert Tuareg, or a Muslim. Because of its costly fabrics and elaborate embroidery, the attire was once symbolic of wealth and high status. Those ornamented with Arab calligraphy were believed to attract good fortune (baraka). Hence, by the early nineteenth century, the attire had been adopted by many non-Muslims in sub-Saharan Africa, most especially kings, chiefs, and elites, who not only modified it to reflect local dress aesthetics, but also replaced the turban with indigenous headgears. The bigger the robe and the more elaborate its embroidery, the higher the prestige and authority associated with it.

Another baseless gibberish! A fallacy!

I repeat, Arab wore nothing like Agbada! That's a fact!

Another fact was Robert Noris write up about the agbada as far back in 1772 while stating that it was made in Eyo (Oyo) and exported to other Africans through trading.

Another fact is the fact that Yoruba have similar design as their egungun (Ara Orun)!

I deal in fact, not in stupidity!

Go and sit down,you have nothing to back up your childish claims.
There are tons of evidence Yoruba copied agbada like other african tribes from the Arabs.
