I don't know if you're kidding, or reasoning is not your strongest fort (got to be the latter as a Igbo). So, if you sister goes out of the house with nothing on but a gold necklace and bangles worth N3m you won't consider her naked? For your sake and the sake of everyone living around you I hope that's not the way you think.

New York Times July 4 1960 edition
Didn't they measure women's skirt in London before because they consider anything that is near to knee to be "Naked" but what is happening today?

Didn't they make you savages believe that Monarchy was the thing and Igbo democracy was bad but what is happening today?

The earlier you black Barbarians understand that Ndigbo are far ahead of you lots, the better for you people.
Whatever they saw in Igboland is what they are trying to be today.
The shirtless women,
The democracy
All is them trying to be Igbo.

Incase you don't know, women are currently campaigning in USA to be allowed to move freely without shirts like the ancient Igbo women do

Did I mention a woman retaining her original surname after Marriage?
That is another Igbo culture whites are trying to copy today.

Not true. Starting with the ruling house, only one prince out of numerous other lines in the Old Oyo, rule Ago di Oyo. The other old ruling lines are scattered across Kishi, Igboho and so on. Basorun in Old Oyo was a title occupied by a lineage of Nupe line, it is not the case in Ago di Oyo. And several other issues.

Now riddle me this, if in your family, your parents and siblings were displayed (God forbid) and you go to say somewhere in the SE and establish a space mimicking what your parents established, would you consider them to be the same? No!

The people occupying the present Oyo, are they descendants of those that occupied the old Oyo or not? The current ruling houses in Oyo, do they have any blood link with those that ruled the old Oyo or not?

Whether it is just a prince from the old Oyo that replicated what was in the old Oyo is irrelevant. What is important is that a prince from the bloodline of the old Oyo ruling house has reestablished the Oyo dynasty for posterity and continuity sake. The Oyo history and royalty is preserved for future generation.

Yeah. They were so scared of you they readily joined Nigeria to kick your greasy butts all over the place till you were subdued and surrendered in 1979. Oya, quickly go and sniff that delusion inducing powder you're using and come back with some more comedy.

Covering up is meant for older people my dear.
Fashion is about looking pleasant irrespective of what people might say.

Now look at this Igbo elderly women and compare them with the poor looking women you call Queens in Oyo at that time.
An Igbo dressing is not complete without accessorise. We don't dress poor until the abomination called Nigeria happened.

The picture is from early 20th century (after Amalgamation).
By then, Igbo businessmen have started developing estates in Lagos.

By the way, I never knew we would get to a level when Yorubas will start celebrating what the white men built as theirs.

Lol. These people are more Shameless than I thought.
