Ileke-IdI: Then you should be talking about gele. It's way more popular across various tribes than aso-oke. In fact almost all the pictures you posted had gele in them. As for the soups, I can only guess how they spread and yes they eat them in the South-West especially egusi, owo and afang. At least you must have tasted these. |

Uyi Iredia: Yea, Gele is more popularized. BUT WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT WHICH ONE IS THE MOST Popularized, but what is slowing being spread across tribes. i'm also more concern about the male aspect. Laterz, we'll discuss your soup Gotz to go for now. |

Ileke-IdI: The only non-igbo item of clothing on the man are the trousers he's wearing instead of wrapper(s). The top is very igbo/ rivers just made using lace. Are yorubas the pioneers of clothes made with lace material? |

I heard the yorubas also created the "British" dress shirt and tie. I believe that one though,but, I don't believe the attire in the first pic has anything to do with yorubas. After all, since when have sahel clothing become yoruba,unless we are saying that they(yorubas) are sahelan? Also, didn't the yorubas modify the sahel african outfit which made the lower part of the upper-body wear wide like a dress? In the first pic there is nothing like that so how could it be yoruba attire. |

Re: Yoruba, Igbo And Acculturation (or Multiculture) by Nobody: 4:42pm On Nov 21, 2011 |
Chyz*: Of course not, even the Arabs invented Iro and buba, complete with gele. Arabs boubou does not look anything like buba and soro, plus agbada, neither do they wear iro and buba! Where is the evidence of this Arab influence? Who provided the influence for iro and buba? who provided the influence for Aso Oke? I would rather see an ibo in agbada though, rather than a wrapper and a red cap adorned with feathers. And please stop tucking in European shirts into wrapper! It's not even funny. |
Re: Yoruba, Igbo And Acculturation (or Multiculture) by Chyz2: 4:48pm On Nov 21, 2011 |
Aigbofa: What you people have his called modifications to sahel clothing. Even the peter pan cap that you all wear sometimes are modification to european hats that the esquires use to wear(I'm not talking about the hat that looks like a burray that leans to the side either). |

This pretty pathetic , I don't really see any celebration of multiculturalism in this thread more of the rest of Nigeria should kiss the ground Yoruba people walk on because without them they would have been na, ked Instead of celebrating clothing of Nigeria its become another useless tribalism thread. I already explain that the way the outfit made its way into Nigeria and if anyone should be thanking anyone its should be Arabs because ultimately it was their invention as far as we know. Anyway, I think if that's the case everyone should go back to the drawing board an improve their own national attire and leave it for those who think they are do you a favor by wearing their own. No wonder Nigeria is the way it is, people are being complete asse.s over clothing its no surprise everything else is a complete clusterfuck of a nation. Multiculturalism goes both ways, someone mentioned food another is the use of the word Chineke, Chei, Tufiakwa, etc that is sprinkled in many Nigerians lexicon even if they are not Igbo. Or Pidgin from the SS area, etc. The list is endless. |

Re: Yoruba, Igbo And Acculturation (or Multiculture) by Crayola1: 5:16pm On Nov 21, 2011 |
Aigbofa: Well you can make up your "own" history or you can actually research like I did, with most sources saying that Yorubas most likely adapted the outfit from Hausas. But I know being ignorant is the fashionable thing to be these days, so I'll leave you to your own Stay breezy |

When you get a chance do ask those people who made them authorities on Yoruba fashion and clothing too, I'm sure the "I'm Yoruba and I know what I'm talking about" line of attack will definitely win you points against scholars and historians |
Re: Yoruba, Igbo And Acculturation (or Multiculture) by Nobody: 5:23pm On Nov 21, 2011 |
Crayola1: "Most likely adapted" is not a statement of fact, and a contradiction of your earlier statement. I will pretend I didn't read the last part of your post. |
Re: Yoruba, Igbo And Acculturation (or Multiculture) by Crayola1: 5:24pm On Nov 21, 2011 |
Aigbofa: Well I posted the links for you to go through, prove me wrong and show that the agbada was wholly a Yoruba invention Well you read it so no need to pretend, if it was speaking to you accept it and work towards improving on your shortcomings. Being ignorant and not knowing you are ignorant is a sad thing, being ignorant and knowing you are ignorant is shameful. |
Re: Yoruba, Igbo And Acculturation (or Multiculture) by Nobody: 5:25pm On Nov 21, 2011 |
1. Plz leave insults outside of this premises 2. Any questions should be address towards a specific somebody, not made indirect. This thread is not meant to disrespect or spite anyone or any tribe. We're here to celebrate acculturation. some-girl: Lace is a typical Yoruba textile. Pioneers of lace material, I should not think so. But that's the way it seems. |
Re: Yoruba, Igbo And Acculturation (or Multiculture) by Crayola1: 5:28pm On Nov 21, 2011 |
1.Take your own advise 2. If I'm speaking in general would that not be counter productive to direct it to one specific person? When the thread become geared towards celebration let the rest of us know |
Re: Yoruba, Igbo And Acculturation (or Multiculture) by Nobody: 5:29pm On Nov 21, 2011 |
Crayola1: Well, prove to me first that it was not, and while you are it, also tell me how Iro and buba came about. Most likely adapted is not good enough for me. |

[size=30pt]ILEKE IDI, YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE ILLITERATE! ABEG READ AND EDUCATE YASEF JOOOOOR![/size] This article is about the Grand Boubou and its variations. The Grand Boubou/Bubu is one of the names for a flowing wide sleeved robe worn by men in much of West Africa, and to a lesser extent in North Africa, related to the Dashiki suit[citation needed]. It is known by various names, depending on the ethnic group wearing them: Agbada (Yoruba, Dagomba), Babban Riga (Hausa), K'sa (Tuareg) Grand Boubou (in various Francophone West African countries) and the English term of Gown. The Senegalese Boubou, a variation on the Grand Boubou described below, is also known as the Senegalese kaftan. The female version worn in some communities is also known as a M'boubou or Kaftan. History Its origin lies with the clothing worn by the Islamized Tukulor, Mandé and Songhai peoples of the historic 8th Century Takrur and Ghana Empires, and 13th Century Mali and Songhai Empires, (See Bisht and Kaftan for information on these). The use of the Grand boubou as clothing became widespread throughout the West African region with the migration of semi-nomadic groups such as the Fulani, and traders such as the Dyula and Hausa. Comparing the Grand boubou to the various styles of Arabic Thawb suggests the Grand boubou follows an archaic template to the contemporary male clothing of the Middle East and North Africa. The Grand boubou is usually decorated with intricate embroidery, and is worn on special religious or ceremonial occasions, for example the two Islamic Eid festivals, weddings, funerals or for attending the Mosque for Friday prayer. It has become the formal attire of many countries in West Africa. Older robes have become family heirlooms passed on from father to son and are worn as status symbols. The Boubou has female versions in Mali, Senegal, Gambia and Guinea, whereas in other regions of West Africa, the female formal clothing has been the wrapper. The Grand boubou as a full formal attire consists of 3 pieces of clothing: a pair of tie-up trousers that narrow towards the ankles (known as a Sokoto pronounced "Shokoto" in Yoruba) and a long-sleeved shirt (known as a Dashiki in Yoruba) and a wide, open-stitched sleeveless gown worn over these. They are generally of the same colour, and historically were made from silk, but increased understanding of Islamic restrictions on clothing meant the Grand boubou is now mostly made from cotton and synthetic cloths made to resemble silk. Method of wearing There is a set etiquette to wearing the Grand boubou, primarily in place to keep the over-gown above the ankles at any one time, in keeping with Islamic traditions of avoiding impurity (see Najis). This can include folding the open sleeves of the Boubou over one's shoulders, normally done while walking or before sitting down, to ensure the over-gown does not rub against the ground, or by folding/wrapping each side over the other with the hand, narrowing the gowns space toward the ankles (as done by the Tuareg). Thus, it is rare to see the Grand boubou's square shaped gown completely unwrapped. Popularity The Grand boubou's use was historically limited to various Islamized Sahelian and Saharan peoples of West Africa, but through increased trade and the spread of Islam throughout the region, had historically gained use among Islamized peoples in the savanna and forested regions of West Africa. Through this, the Grand boubou was historically worn by Chiefs of the Yoruba of Nigeria, Dagomba of Ghana, the Mandinka of the Gambia, the Susu of Guinea and the Temnes of Sierra Leone. Even today, the Grand boubou is mostly worn by Muslims, although it is gaining popularity as a fashionable form of attire by Christians in West Africa, the African diaspora, and very recently, even among Bantu people in East, Southern and Central Africa. Gender differences Although usually a form of men's clothing, women's traditional clothing in much of Sahelian West Africa is of similar construction, though usually worn differently. The Boubou has female versions in Mali, Senegal, Gambia, and Guinea. In some places these are called the M'boubou. In other regions of West Africa, the female formal clothing has been a Boubou variant, called a kaftan, and in other places it is the wrapper and headscarf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boubou_(clothing) |
