tpia@:
i think the main point of the thread is if you're adopting yoruba dressing, then you have to stop hating on yorubas.

that's it in a nutshell.

btw can anyone explain what ofala ceremony is.

when did it start, where is it practiced, etc.

are the people featured in those photos of yoruba descent?

you for make sense except that yorubas have no dress for other to adopt , you still wear agbada you got from northerners.

Ileke-IdI:
Actually, most of the wedding attires and tailoring and designs on Bella Naija were done by Lanre De Silva and other Yoruba Fashionistas. But cant really say they're Yoruba fashon because she and others are doing it for Nigerians of all tribes. But most of these fashionistas are Yorubas.

For example http://www.bellanaija.com/2011/11/02/wed-magazine-debuts-its-pinkbudget-issue-preps-for-the-wed-expo-in-2012/


Another, Segun Gele, designing new gele styles . . . . women all over the globe have been introduced to his styles.

for lagosians cus bella naija is all about lagos, lagos is not nigeria pls wake up.

lagcity:
I agreed with u that u have plenty fish. so, what then is your excuse for the dullness your ppl are known for? Igbo didn't have fish protein in Biafra. they ate only cassava but they still managed to retain their brainpower. ijawman what is ya excuse?  

excuse for whta , that ijaws have higher literacy rate than yorubas, higher employment rate? lower poverty rate? and ijaws where never conquered by hausa/fulanis and edos unlike the yorubas, abeg go find your mate

ezeagu:
And what exactly did you prove on this thread?

Ileke-IdI:
Precisely.

lol

alj_harem:
hey lets get things straight here. Ijaw land does not strench from Ondo to rivers

maybe you need to check your map

Ijaws migrated to edo, ondo and present day akwa ibom. Ok

ask your leaders or better still since you are ijaw ask your mother nwanne

the same way you migrated from chad and niger republic? i love this thread, any lets not divert

Ileke-IdI:
Where is the quote?

Next time, dont join a discussion if you dont know what to say.

Yorubaland did not invent head tie, neither did Igbo or Ijawland. We're talking about modern head tie styles like the yoruba one below:

am done with you ,at least you have corrected yourself, the only thing yoruba invented is Yoruba

Ileke-IdI:
Quote preciselyy where Ileke-Idi claimed that head scarf was INVENTED by Yorubas or stay away from big boys discussion.

now your back to your senses , typical yoruba dey don catch you ,story don change.

lagcity:
wow. so na only Ogoni no get fish ehn? the Ijaws have fish? wow. i used to excuse ijaw's dull brain becos i used to think they didn't get fish protein in their diet. now that you've told me you get plenty fish protein for ya area, the big question is: why r u ijaws still dull? the Ogonis have an excuse. Ijawmonkey, what is ya excuse?

your talking rubbish , who tell you say fish no dey ijaw land , are you dumb or just ignorant ? come to rivers or bayelsa and educate yourself , and i used the ogonis cus they are the ones that have the massive oil spill and considering their land mass is so small compared to ijaw land that stretches all the way from ondo to rivers , mumu

Ileke-IdI:
Already been discussed in previous pages. Check page 7 or so

You call it Ichafu, we call it Gele.
But the name is not what the discussion is about.

I'd like to know who invented the flamboyancy of the gele/head tie/ Ichafu.

stop being a coward , you claimed its yoruba clothing and am asking you what is yoruba about it cus i have lived in the east all my life ,travelled to different parts of the country and some african countries  ,that dressing is a normal african outfit

Obiagu1:
May God save us all.
It's now obvious that some Yoruba are way to unexposed. Please travel, go to other places and see other people. Don't just lock yourself in your kitchen in the SW and think the world revolves around you.

So Ichafu is what this village girl, Ileke, is telling me is Yoruba. Gele my a.s.s.
Go to any church in Igboland, the innermost village and see it for yourself. Woman in Igboland rarely walk around without Ichafu.

1. This is not worn by any Islamic nation, apart from the yorubas
2. This is not a bini influence
3. This is a MODERN Yoruba traditional attire
4. the design, cut, and textile are Yoruba made
5. Those are igbo couples

nairalander can someone help ileki idi and point out what is yoruba about this attire. is it the lace material that we dont even produce or the trouser or the gown  

lagcity:
where did fulani conquer Yoruba? dude i keep telling u, this discussion is beyond your ijaw brain. let the Igbos step up 4 u. u r better fishing in a dug out canoe somewhere. oh crap. i forgot. all the fishes for ijawland don die because of crude oil. Ndo, that explains ya idleness. kai, it really sucks to be Ijaw oo. common fish, Ijaw man no fit catch. . haba, this is wickedness, i feel for ya ppl.

ijaw and ogoni are different ethnic groups slowpoke, maybe we should take alook at poverty statistics and see who is idle in nigeria.

Ileke-IdI:
PS: We're talking about MODERN "conquering" here. Stay on topic.

you mean the igbo invasion of lagos? am still waiting for your reply, what exactly is yoruba about that outfit is it the lace material, trouser, gown or the femal attire?

i think your just delusional

am kind of confused, what exactly is yoruba about this particular attire? is it the lace? the trouser? the gown or the femal attire cus the only thing i see here is a typical west/central african outfit

lagcity:
an Ijaw calling someone a slave. very funny. your elder brothers are discussing here, go get urself ogogoro. drunken fisherman.

yoruba first conqured by hausa/fulani later by edos,no wonder you people are regarded as cowards .if people are talking yoruba man go follow talk?? abeg go siddon

Ileke-IdI:
This pix is just too beautiful, offtopic here

https://rhphotoarts.com/newblog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/wpid6482-trad-351.jpg

all i see is yoruba slaves promoting islamic culture but its understandable since you were conqured by the fulani  

apart from the materials which is not even produced in nigeria what is modern about them?

gele is head tie in yoruba ,others groups have a name for femal headties, asking who started wearing head tie is a dumb question and its just like asking who started using boats. women wear head ties all over the world with different materials and design

thank God some people are awake to stop these loser illeke idi from the south west , na wa ooooo one day yoruba people go sell us for this country.

imagine someone trying to claim lace as yoruba invention God help us for nairaland.

one day you and ilekidi will wake and tell us you invented jeans

alj_harem:
stfu

eastern women did not have head gear not talk of ijaw women

your a pathetic follow but i dont blame you , this is the same illiteracy of northerners we complain of all the time, dumbite, as for the men that type of hat rochas wear all the time is indigenous to eastern groups too mumu

alj_harem:
i thought u were ijaw

what do u know of head gear ?

u smoking weed ijaw women wear the same head tie as everyother eastern women

and what the Bleep is gele ?? head tie is head tie ,ileki stop fooling yoruself here

stupid nigerians fighting over what did not originate from nigeria, even the ghananians started wearing it before the yorubas and igbos knew what it is, all the pictures ilekidi posted can be from any afican country as the women and men all dress the same,  everyother thing from the women head tie to the men clothing and lace are worn by all west african and central african group.


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.
[edit]Use

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.
