What page?

ezeagu:

Yeah, that's because your wear Arab clothing, not actual African clothing so you can't be inspired by the Igbo.

That's right, some people modified Arab clothing and some modified grass.

u smoking weed ijaw women wear the same head tie as everyother eastern women

Better grass than for your grass house to be set ablaze by a Fulani crew, no? Ran through by Arabs.

NRI PRIEST:

Igbo people call head tie "ichafu isi", yorubas call it gele.
And what is that outfit Fashola is wearin
Ezeagu,thanks for posting that Fashola pics!! Let me see what will happen now !!

yoruba people call head tie "ibori"
"gele" is a special kind of ibori that is more flamboyant. usually made with stiffer material (woven aso-oke, damask etc) that can hold up the elaborate styles.

fashola was attending a  non-yoruba event  (he donated a creche to a catholic church in lagos). so he had to dress appropriately. It still has a yoruba look. but more subtle

your a pathetic follow but i dont blame you , this is the same illiteracy of northerners we complain of all the time, dumbite, as for the men that type of hat rochas wear all the time is indigenous to eastern groups too mumu

none of these governors will dress like that to a yoruba event.

The chosen attire for today's African leaders. No more dinosaur clothing. No more excessing folding.[/center]

one day you and ilekidi will wake and tell us you invented jeans

True, they trawl through an Arabs closet for that.

^^^^@scholes

I found the picture from a Nigerian website, it was listed as Yoruba. Pele if it's not Yoruba. It gladly supports my claim that Sudano-Sahelian attire spread throughout West Africa and noone beside them can claim agbada.

If it makes you feel any better, you can replace that picture with this one for comparison. Posted by Ileke-idi herself.


Carry on with who created Gele or not arguments, I just heard my name and i wanted to clear somethings out.  Oya out I go.

Talkless of a Yoruba traditional wedding.

That day will be November 3, 2013, mark it on your calendar.

Lemme leave ppl to vex for a while.

Odumchi, leave the thread unlocked or we for fight for this section

Impeccable tast: Today's leaders are no longer interested in batwings. Superhero capes. Something professional, like an Isiagu, is best suited.

imagine someone trying to claim lace as yoruba invention God help us for nairaland.

Up Isiagu ACN! Sidenote: Is that guy doin the Heil Hitler Must be the heat from the dinosaur bat wings.
