^^^ thanks Andre for correcting that malicious misinformation on the Igbo red caps.

Please, i'll like to ask, What are untitled Igbo men supposed to hear with their native outfits, as opposed to the red caps?(Explanation with pix if any will be appreciated). Thanks.

Honestly, if we want to go down this road of who and who have been colonized, its a slippery slope argument. You can say Japanese people have their own religion and their own names but then you have to ask why they dress like Europeans. Thats also part of colonization, the adoption in a wholesale fashion of someone else's culture or aspects of their culture because it implies that at some point in time, you felt what you had was not good enough so you either willingly adopted someone else's or you were sort of forced to by colonialism, everybody is a victim of colonization one way or the other.
Why do Iranians who are Persians wear western/European clothes? Why do Nigerians wear arab clothes? coz the agabda, babban riga and Kaftan are all arab. Those red hats that Igbo chiefs wear are Turkish passed through Arabs and Hausa people to the Igbos! Goodluck Jonathan whole attire is foreign, his hat English, his clothes, if you trace the origins (the trousers and knee length gown) are attires that came from south west Asia. But its obviously been modified.

Ileke-idi reminds me of ChinenyeN in a way.

She is not a tribalist. She is CLANNISH!

ChinenyeN and his Ngwa and Ileke-idi with her Ekiti people.

The Shuwa Arabs are not indigenious chadian or sudanese group, in fact there are Shuwa Arabs population in SUDAN, CHAD, NIGER, and NE Nigeria. They are only 250,000 in Borno State out of a population of 3 million. Their mother tongue is Arabic albeit adultrated Arabic, they are like an Ekiti man being a Yoruba man. They come in different shades from jet black to fair skinned standard or normal Arabic look, the fact that some are dark does not make them less arabic like their cousins in the arabian peninsula, The common denomination between them and their cousins is the capabilty to communicate in the mother tongue.

They are a pastorist tribe, obviously with that kind of movement within the tribe, their nationalities can change from being a Nigerian to a chadian to a sudanese at random that can be dangerous as weapons and fire-arms can brought in by unscrouplous businessmen to subversive groups like Boko-Haram.
