Ditto

Ngozi123:
Fair enough. The one picture of the completely naked woman seems to be some sort of ritual or something as I've not seen anything like that before. Most men and women tended to cover up below the abdomen area and not above it. it was perfectly normal at the time and not something that should be sneered at.

somegirl1:
I am and you posting pics of some Igbo women can't prove otherwise. It's a well known fact.

somegirl1:
It's only a matter of time.

Danfuster:
Yes we have bro. Class and swag defines Yorubas. Even Jimmy Carter was humbled

somegirl1:
Light skin or no, Igbo features are relatively easy on the eyes.

Nahwao:
Yoruba women 1928.

Oh last I checked it was dahomey women who defeated you brave cowardly Oduduwa warriors to the extent that you people ran to seek refuge in abeokuta.
Hihihi cone head

Ngozi123:
I live in Europe and the country that I live in is usually cold so it would be illogical to where little clothing. Also, I didn't see any unclad people in the picture I posted.

Ngozi123:
I think that you've used the wrong expression here...



What has this got to do with me asking you to provide proof of date for the picture you posted? I gave you an example of how one can prove the date of a picture and you're going off on a tangent.

As for your comment about the Igbos being exposed to civilisation, I have two points to make:

1) Suggesting that covering up= civilisation is a very eurocentric way of thinking. Wearing clothes that suit your environment is perfectly rational- ask the ancient Egyptians.
2) If the Igbos became civilised "very late", as you put it, but they managed to 'catch up' and even supersede other Nigerians just 30 years after this picture was taken, what does that say about these Nigerians who were supposedly 'civilised' at an early age?

Scholes007:
To avoid taking this to a childish display, it very important i bring to your notice the ignorant character of yours. Let me remind you that the africans has a peculiar civilization which is always shaped by their environment. You thinking that the igbos in 1920's have on civilization shows how myopic you are. The picture below is the aba women riot done by mostly igbo women and other neighbouring tribe to protest against the warrant chiefs in 1929.

Yoruba photography was even far more advanced than those of Oyibos then? Sophistication....

Nah real wah!

AlphaCentauri ....our players are now being patriotic right.... To hell with the govt.... Useless pepple

Ngozi123:
That's a cool picture but you still don't provide the evidence that shows the date of when these pictures were taken. See this picture, for example, is of an Igbo masquerade and was included in G.T. Basden's book about the Igbos. The book was published in the 1930's so we can deduce that it was taken at this period of time.

Stop fishing for likes. From what I've seen on Nairaland and in real life, most of the people who comment on Igbos being light skinned are not Igbo. The only reason some Igbos comment on it is because they've seen non-Igbos commenting on it before. Seeing light skinned people is normal for us.

u get ur own personal company wey dey fetch u cool money no mean sey if u get opportunity to work for anoda company wey suppose pay for ur service and dem no pay u and u voice out no mean sey u greedy my friend...na where man dey work na there him go chop

Danfuster:
You can also see the lady sitting next to the one wearing sunglasses; she sat like a Queen with her legs crossed and to the side despite her wrapper was over her knee.

semitunde:
Exactly. If they think the country doesn't care for them, and they don't care for the country enough to at least do it for free and get recognition from it; they should have simply protested before going, knowing that buhari may cancel the trip altogether.

A beg you make sense jare.

Kaysalas:
CONGRATULATIONS!!

MrWhaley:
You didn't lay down any fact. You were simply being Myopic. Unable to reason beyond your nose.

I won't prolong this argument any further cuz it's obvious you are beyond succour. Bye!

Danfuster:
Hoooohoo!... Why are you waisting your time schooling this one

Ngozi123:
Do you mind providing a link?

Ngozi123:
I have definitely seen more non-Igbos comment on the number of light skinned Igbos than Igbo people themselves. The only reason some Igbos bring it up is because so many non-Igbos like to comment on it. To us, it's normal.

Ngozi123:
Their make up suggests that this picture was taken in the 50's or 60's. That was the trendiest fashion then- note that black women didn't have specialised make up until this period. Do you have confirmation that this was taken in the 30's?

ireneony2:
how do you know they were no lightskin among them from a black and white pictures.

Ngozi123:
You do realise that the majority of Igbos are dark skinned, right? Moreover, there were plenty of light skinned people around at that time- just look at the documentation of the Igbos in the past.

It seems to me that it's mostly non-Igbos who like to comment on the prevalence of light skinned people amongst the Igbos.

MrWhaley:
Really,niggar? That's your excuse?? Wow!

I rest my case,please..

Scholes007:
oh now we have reduced this to talking about who own car hu? Well Igwe Orizu I owned a rolls royce in the 1920's also. Pls still bring the picture of other tribes in 30's.

Situation001:
