Sad end. I do hope that these are the right guys and not Nigerian police mischief.
PoliticsRe: JTF Attacks: Genocide In Borno, Yobe - Elders Cry Out by Crayola1: 3:24pm On Aug 18, 2012
mathskill: You are being dishonest and deceitful.Name one U.N report that documented genocide in Nigeria.If their was no pearl harbour would their have been a Hiroshima and Nagasaki? The same with the uprising after the coup,if those igbo southern christian army majors had not killed in cold blood Northern muslim leaders there wouldn't have been any uprising against the igbos. Daily trust and leadership are a few northern newspapers in circulation show me one piece in this newspapers that abuse or dehumanize southerners.Quote one commentry on naira by a northerner that has dehumanized a southerner and i'll give you a hundred that southerners have against northerners.
So by your logic if its ok to kill people who share the same ethnicity as the coup plotters then its ok to kill muslims because they share the same faith with members of Boko Haram. So no genocide has occured in Borno or Yobe then. So why are you complaining?
CultureRe: Traditional Medicine In Pre-colonial (negro) Africa: Superior To The European's by Crayola1: 3:08am On Aug 10, 2012
Not, all the way true. Up until the 20th century Western medicine was not much better than a placebo and often medical procedures did more harm than good. Until the late 1800s-early 1900s Europeans used AFrican medicine to treat certain tropical illnesses.

I wonder who it's a Nigerian swag when Fulanis don't even wear the same head gear, when hausas don't typically wear the same head gear. . . .

Tell me another story abeg. . . . cool cool
Yar'dua's daughter was photographed with a head scarf during her wedding (Fulani). And there are a couple of Hausa women weddings on Bella Naija where one of their outfits had a head scarf.

Really get a life. Its just fabric tied in a knot damn.

As expected. . . . grin grin grin



Modern Gele (even if it's has a different name in each region) styles, most of the new modern designs were created by Yorubas mainly for Yoruba owanbe parties. Theory suggest that mass movement to the SW of Nigeria, caused it to spread.


Disprove that if you want. . . . but please, keep your insults out of this. You're a grown woman.

Still here o wink
Yawn. Like I said good work Stillwater cool

Anyway there are photos of women from the Eastern part of Nigeria weating head scarves in varioud styles at the turn of the 19th century and the early 20th century. You are welcomed to go look it up.
