Not only Gavon but Eguavon..

Go and get one Igbo name from there...

Not only that, also a short video of Igbo as their language.

Unless you are one of those that feeds on fairy tale.

My Yoruba friend...FFK has dissociated himself from that name, I strongly advise you follow suit...look for a name or invesmt a name..because you can't go with Oduduwa because it's a Benin name and a Benin prodigal runaway prince


Now you are in crossroads

U are ignorant
Stop arguing

'Isi-agu' is actually not ment to be worn anyhow and by every Igbo person

clans in Igbo land even have their own unique dressing

Not ur fault, this is what Nigga area caused
That was what I was telling them...that isi agu is igbo ceremonial while this is an everyday occasion


Igbo is awesome

In Igbo land we have names of people like

Igbokwe
Igboadigo
Nwaigbo
Nwosuigbo


We have names of Igbo like

Igbuzor (Delta State )
Obigbo (Rivers State )
Igbo ukwu (Anambra State )
Igbo etiti (Enugu state )
Azu Igbo ( Anambra State )
Obadigbo Etc

Etc


Tell me one Yoruba man that bears a Yoruba name as a prefix or suffix

Show me one Yoruba town that have Yoruba as a prefix or suffix


You guys don't even have a amen till fulani came to town and gave out the name


Just show me one man or town


None


So as you can agree ... Something is wrong with the name .... Yoruba ,something is very wrong with that name

FFK has dissociated his name from that so..I would advise you to follow suit

Now you have resorted to throwing insults and tantrums over the dressing of a few men. Oga, use Google to check it, nah! Why is that so hard for you to do? You Sabi lay claim to everything.

I repeat: the outfits worn by Ebuka, Flavour etc are contemporary clothes worn by men from all tribes. Change their caps, and the wearers could come from anywhere....
Shhhhhh show me just a single Yoruba man that wore this in 70s, 80s or 90s

Oga, there are quite a few Nigerians who have been wearing such outfits over the past few decades.

Use Google and do some research.

Stop expecting me to spoon-feed you with relevant info, that is freely available on the internet.

And try to stop throwing tantrums and insults. Not everyone is your enemy. And not everyone who replies your post, is Yoruba.
Show me the few who wore it... I forgot that even the name Yoruba was even given by hausa and the type of clothes you guys were is from hausa now you have taken Igbo

Give credit... Though we know the meaning of Yoruba as FFK said but I've credit

Show us just one single Yoruba that wore this in 70s and 80s you no fit

What she said was in bad taste. sad Making jokes by drawing comparisons with a cultural site close to the heart of the indigenes, was not right.

They are NOT wearing Igbo outfits. What they have on, is contemporary tunics and trousers, that have been adapted by men of all tribes in Nigeria.
One thing is that we Igbo wear plain fabrics and Isi ag which is ceremonial and Chief wears this is for normal occasion... I know that it hurts because you guys are wearing it now ... It was made popular during Jonathan period because he has so many Igbo in the government and he wore this type but ijaw style which is longer with embroidery but Igbo wear is shorter and simpler mostly short sleeves while the ijaw is flowing

We Igbo know the difference

But one thing is that we don't wear lace ... Those are Yoruba thing ....
This is Chinua Achebe in early 80s... Is this contemporary


Abi you use English you don't know the meaning

Oga, in the 1st and 2nd pictures, the young men are only wearing Igbo red caps. Their outfits are not Igbo.

Their dressing is just a sample of the contemporary outfits, that men in all tribes in Nigeria, currently wear.

If you remove the red cap and put a Hausa cap on top of the heads of those guys, you will think they are from the North.

If you substitute the red cap, and replace it with a local aso-oke cap called fila worn by those in the Southwest, you will think those guys are Yoruba men.

But the 3rd picture, is the authentic one. From the isi-agu to the red cap, everything is Igbo dressing. The woollen red/white cap can even be used alongside the red cap for greater variety.

The guy in the 3rd picture killed it. Igbo amaka! Correct Igbo demon..... cheesy
I don't know why you guys argue foolishly

These are Igbo governors did you see what they wore?


This is chinua Achebe in the 80s

Did you see what he wore?

Did you see edochie

More details please
The Yorubas know how to organize social events. When you attend their events you will marvel at the level of organization. If an Igbo and a Yoruba each spends 5 million naira on an event, you will see more order and organization in that held by the Yoruba: food and drinks will go round without one knowing someone among those in charge.

Our Igbo people will scoff and tell you that it is because the Yorubas love parties. Fa fa fa foul!

There is a reason for it: Professionalism.

Yes, professionalism is the secret. How? It is rare to find a Yoruba event that is not handled by an event manager. I have actually attended supposedly small child-naming parties held at the hosts’ home which were surprisingly handled by event managers.

When you attend a Yoruba party, the host or celebrant is well seated, enjoying the event with his/her guests while things are going on seamlessly. He or she may stand up once in a while and move around to greet people and ascertain that all is well.

But if you attend an Igbo event, things may not go well and guests may not adequately be attended to because of non use of professional event handlers. Most times friends and family members are used to attend to guests. These friends and family members end up taking food and drinks more to those they know. So some end up having too much, while some go home angry or sad. Then those friends and family members also come with bags/coolers for carting away drinks and food. Sadly the host must have provided more than enough for all the guests.Image result for NIGERIAN PARTY

When an Igbo man or woman is hosting an event, he/she hardly sits down. He/she goes around serving people and ensuring that everything is in order. The host runs around, most times wearing slippers or even moving around barefooted, to ensure that all goes well. Why do we Igbos enjoy stress and suffering?

We had such a challenge in our village meetings here in Lagos. We would kill one or more cows for our end-of-the-year party. Our wives would be in charge of cooking the food with the meat. So they would have to sleep away from home on the Saturday night before the date preparing the meals at the location. The next day, they would be in charge of serving people food, while the men would serve drinks and take care of getting the venue ready.

Sadly, we would be wondering where all the foods and drinks went to, as things would not go round as expected. I spoke repeatedly against it. Why should people who have worked throughout the year to make the association tick not rest and enjoy their party at the end of the year? Why not stop this chest-thumping of killing cows and hand over the event to an event planner and sit back to enjoy ourselves? It sank and that was adopted. It became smoother and less frustrating. On such a day, men, women and children would dress up and attend the event, sit down and enjoy the party, rather than running up and down, sweating, quarreling, etc, on a day that should be a day of merriment.

The event planner also knows the activities to add to your event to make it livelier and richer as well as the order of protocol.

The thinking used to be that handing your event over to an event manager would cost you more money, the same way many used to think that walking into a shop owned by a company to buy your electronics would be more expensive than going to the market. It does not work like that. With a professional, you have someone to take away your burden, someone to hold responsible and even sue if your agreement is breached. You can sleep better before the event and smile a lot while the event is going on.

Yorubas also hate each other when it comes to marriage. I am a Yoruba from osun but live in Lagos, ilaje area in ajegunle to be precise,ilaje hates other Yorubas. They hardly see themselves as Yoruba. And other Yorubas hate them too. You hear an average ilaje man or woman saying Those Yoruba too like fight ..are they not Yorubas? They bear Yoruba names,wear Yoruba dress in fact they are Yoruba. But illiterate among them is annoying and wicked. My mum said she will disown me if I ever say I want to marry from ilaje,but I am in love with one already and I love her die. She even survived sniper taken when her mum tries separating us. God saved me she didn't die if not I for dey prison. Tribalism is high among Yorubas but they don't show it
Ilaje are not Yoruba ....
