thanks for that link, I would refer to it now

IT IS CALLED OGILI BUT SOPHISTICATED IGBOS CALL IT EGUSI

that was what your link said

which mean the civilised Igbos call it egusi and ofcourse that is explains why it is called egusi today in ala igbo isn't it ?

dude I believe you don't know how Igbo culture has been greatly influenced by Nigeria (same goes for others)

Go read Lugard on Nigeria book

Igbos migrated to lagos as early as 1950's and returned to the east back

AKARA Is not an Igbo food, even an ideeiot knows that

Akara orignated from Yoruba people

It is a stable food ever since in benin, togo Nigeria , brazil, cerlo people of serri leano and jamica

all this places have high concentrtion of yoruba people in relative purposes

even the brazilian, jamica acknowleged to the yorubas

this was a book by Mary Ann S. Barber in 1857 on Trinidad Yoruba: from mother tongue to memory

http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=4O8CAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA15&dq=akara+yoruba&hl=en&ei=_n3NToikFIfi8QOL44DpCw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=7&ved=0CFAQ6AEwBjgK#v=onepage&q=akara%20yoruba&f=false

so tell me when yorubas knew Igbos in 1857 ?

I would urge you to please stop this display of ignorance and learn the TRUTH

it would take nothing away from you.

I did not say it was Igbo but Yoruba? LMFAO.

The name maybe, a bit doubtful since its also named egusi in Twi. The Egusi soup is not yoruba.

Look at what you just wrote once again for u to discover they're all bunch of trash for a grown up folk.

1. Assuming am dating your little sister & i mistakenly got her pregnant while we aint ready for marriage then what will be your advice?

2. Who says its mandatory that you must vow before you can date a yoruba girl? bro, where are u getting your false info from? vow/oath b4 a relationship is an individual stuff from any girl or tribe if that particular girl don't really trust u.

3. Tell me why would a girl be dating someone she can never have a future with or do you think yoruba girls date guys for money like igbo girls? someone she'll mistakenly get pregnant for that her family will disown her? sorry if yoruba girls reject u.

4. Where in yorubaland do they force u to marry their daughter just because impregnated her? but if u a guy with the right sense tell me why would u be having unprotected sex with a girl you can never marry in the first place?

5. abortion is Igbo girls melody, majority of them go after guys that have money to spend but when unwanted pregnancy occur then straight for abortion, my ex is one. Tell which of these two tribes u can boost of for marriage?

How are you different from DA Doctor?

I won't even bother on the Yoruba woman do not date for money, that lie alone got K leg but BIA you no shame? You dated a woman you very much knew didn't want you, was never attracted to you, the only thing she wanted was your money yet you want announce that to the world in an effort to strike da doctor? shocked

yoruba men are the most attractive in nigeria(according to the nigerian ladies)

This topic does not concern me because it implied it's meant for Yoruba women only in the title so I go waka go but before I leave I have to correct few things Yoruba men are named the most attractive by YORUBA WOMEN, not Nigerian ladies. All those Yoruba men are attractive topics were created by Yoruba women. Igbo women never gave Yoruba man that title. You for see am for this topic or Naira Land? Go to facebook and see who they've been calling the most attractive then come back and read blisslyfe topic, onila and nnenna, etc. Other Nigerian women did not give that title to Yoruba neither; they claim their own men are the most attractive. If you going to toast yourself, toast unaself well well but do not lie.

Upon reading the first few pages on here, I am utterly shocked shocked

I have to say the insults eastern Igbo are raining on us is unwarranted. The issue at hand is not even in an issue in any delta states. Come to Asaba, Agbor, Aboh or any delta state and see denial igbo is limited so why una dey put us all in the same box. Few people that happen to be a delta Igbo denying their Igbo heritage do not represent all of us. They speak for themselves and themselves alone. inferiority complex gini? ask una self this how many times have you seen Jay jay okocha, Ngozi iweala, Faze, Sunday olisa, Lynxx, Don Jazzy, Tony Elumelu, Dr. Cyril Uchenna Gwam-Odogwu, Stella Damasus, Tinie Tempah, etc. deny their Igbo heritage. Don’t let few minorities turn you against your own people ohh sad

.

As for the person that mentioned Asaba, I am an Asaba boy head to toe. Nwa onye Igbo ka m’bu and a proud one at that.

^^^^^^^@ Agbotaen
Use the word ^I and stop saying ^we. This is why they think your type of assessment is common opinion among delta Igbos. why can’t you minorities use the word I. I’ve seen Ika’s with completely different opinion as you, even Jim ovia, whom you’ve been mentioning never denied his Igbo heritage. I won’t be surprised if the rest are on the same boat. Just because you happen to be Ika and they happen to be Ika doesn't mean you can speak for them. Speak for yourself and yourself alone

My condolences on your father's death. May he RIP.

tpia@:
btw your argument is a cyclic one.

if the yoruba have oral traditions linking them to the arabian peninsula and/or sudan then why is it a stretch to deduce the agbada is in fact indigenous to them?

I find that so hypocritical but I’m not surprised. Isn't it the same Yoruba’s whom are quick to deny/insult and even degrade Igbo claims to Jews as a false statement despite it’s being an oral tradition that have been circulating for century but yet you expect us to accept the Yoruba oral traditions linking them to Arabian peninsula as fact, mshweech please. You cannot have it both ways my friend.

If you are open-minded enough to actually learn the history of Abagada and it's origin refer back to Crayola's and everyone else link.

Culture › Re: Yoruba, Igbo And Acculturation (or Multiculture) by OneNaira6: 5:34am On Nov 22, 2011*

tpia@:
there's no evidence indicating the agbada did not spread from yoruba to other parts of west africa. As i pointed out before, the fulani conquest was what created a sharp demarcade between the groups now called hausa, and the yoruba.

yoruba traditionalists have a short agbada which they usually wear- check the clothing of ancient ifa priests and also yoruba warriors.

Is it that hard? Is it that hard to give the rightful owners their credit. Crayola and someone else posted different link on the origin of Agbada. It did not start in yorubaland and it did not spread from yorubaland. Are you trying to claim Yoruba influenced EVERY west African group without migration.

tpia@:
btw, do you have any explanation for why the agbada suddenly dropped out of igbo public dressing, if indeed it used to be worn by igbos in the past, as you say.

personally, i suspect the igbos wearing it might have been of yoruba ancestry.

Whose picture has ileke-idi been posting just to stroke her own ego. Are they not igbo? That alone defeats your logic.

Igbos wearing it ight have been of yoruba ancestry? shocked

Tpia, so everyone has Yoruba ancestry.

one naira

as i pointed out before, the issue isnt the origin of agbada in itself, but rather the problem of hating on yorubas while at the same time wearing attire which is associated with yorubas.

my own research [going by those photos i posted] shows it seems to be the nationalistic igbos in the past who did such. ie wore attire closely associated with another tribe.

the examples of zik, king onyeama of eke, etc.

they were noted for integration and working with yorubas.

note the quote on ilorin medicine men being brought to igboland.

feel free to prove me wrong though.

The attire is West African attire. Travel to Ghana, Burkina Faso, Togo, Liberia, etc. and you'll see the same people wearing Agbada even if Yoruba is not among the ethnic group found in their countries. It’s a Sudano-Sahelian creation, which every African group’s especially west African groups picked up; the only thing associated to Yoruba in Nigeria is the name. An Igbo man like me can change the name to Ezeike and that name becomes a widespread name across SE and SS, do either I or any other Igbo man have the right to claim Ezeike as ours? No.

There are Igbo groups that wore agbada long before their interaction with Yoruba. Those two men wearing agbada has two reason for wearing such attire? It's either they picked it up from their ancestors or the interaction. How can you be so sure they wore the agbada because of Yoruba?

Nnamdi is an Anambra descendant, Anambra long before their interaction to Yoruba wore Agbada, and I posted the pictures in previous pages.

They keep lying to themselves. Some people need to travel out of their village. So far all I keep hearing from the OP and her cohort is Yoruba modernized agbada; Yoruba agbada is different from the original creator. The rest of us non-Yoruba cannot see the difference, the only people that have this magical ability to see the difference between sudano-sahelian agbada and Yoruba agbada is Yoruba so how does that make it your own agbada. When asked to show us this difference so the rest of us can follow you na, it becomes a daunting task. Changing the hat or the material (debatable) used does not make it modernized. It's the same thing. Give the rightful owner their creation and accept you borrowed it? Maba. Now Its Yoruba invented gele and they are the ones who introduced SE and SS Ichiafu? what's next? Yoruba jacket? Yoruba jean? Yoruba shirt? Yoruba skirt? Yoruba gloves? Okay ohhh. Yoruba invented everything even this world. Yoruba invented Ipod, the sun, the sand and the moon. I think they even invented the sky. Are you people happy now? You change one or two things and that makes it your own? If so then I’m the creator of housing since I just renovated my own two days ago.
