RevDesm0ndJuju:Serjio 103 was right about you when he said he knows the agenda of this your stupidd thread! Your sole agenda of this thread is to post some naked pictures of Igbo maiden! The same Igbos to want to ridicule are the same people buying up your only inheritance containing the grave of your mama & papa while you waste the proceeds on Olosho and white substance! In your dumb and deranged mind, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Ozumba Mbadiwe, Michael Okpala and other numerous Igbos that schooled in USA & UK in the 1920s and 1930s went there naked! If posting these picture is the only thing that brings tincture of joy in your miserable and frustrated life, keep mast*rbating on it! |

Colonial influence introduced camera and photography to Nigeria. To those posting 1950 pictures and claiming pre-colonial, take note. |

The picture of Obi of Onitsha with men blowing horns reveal a lot of Igala influence in Iboland. |

RevDesm0ndJuju:Nnamdi Azikiwe went to America in early '20s and by 1927 he already have his first degree from American University! Why didn't you post his naked picture since your dumb mind tells you all Igbos were running around naked during that period? His kid picture below (where he is putting on suits) was taken around 1913. By the way, he was born in 1904!

RevDesm0ndJuju:The pic is not dated but shows a young half-naked Ibo woman. The metal rings or coils on her legs are of Igala origin (based on the Colonial books and pictures I have read and seen years back), so that pic was taken in today's Anambra or Enugu States where Igala ethnic ancestries and influences exist. Even the Igala red chieftaincy cap was first introduced by the Igalas into the Nsukka area going back to 500 years of Igala ethnic presence in those two states. |

goaldynboy:The person you quoted is right to a large extent, but Nnamdi was fully dressed because of the early exposure of Onitsha people. Read Reverend George Basden's popular book on Ibos entitled [Among the Ibos of Nigeria] and his time living in Onitsha while helping to transform the people. The book can also be downloaded for free online in PDF format. Rev. George Basden also wrote about the eating of human beings [cannibalism] well after 1900 by Ibo tribes outside the Onitsha area in present Anambra and how his new Ibo Christian converts from those areas had confessed to him to haven been involved in eating captured human beings as food. So, even right up to the late 1940s, Some male and female Ibos still dressed half-naked in their traditional settings with only a small parchment (looking a bit like g-string) to cover a bit of their lower private parts. The Ibo women still went about without covering their breasts (upper bodies). Only those who had the Western church influences wore cloths but many had no shoes on them based on the pictures I have seen of Northern and Southern Nigeria ethnicities. I have an archival publication that had pictures of Ibo people near the Udi area in the late 1940s (1949) who were half-naked and had just the loin parchment that Achebe clearly wrote about in his book. The Colonialists who frowned upon half-unclothedness by some locals eventually made laws for all these people to be dressed up eventually by covering up their upper and lower bodies. |

Swiftgrp:The Catholic church did a lot in getting them to dress decently. Catholic church use to issue branded wrappers and white blouse to their women to both get them to come to Sunday mass and to be descent when present. Azikiwe's young pics is not representative of Ibo culture as he wasn't wearing any traditional wear but dressed fully in European attire . Leave that thing. Their inferiority complex brought about their total lack of culture is not my headache. This is why I refused to post vintage pics of Alaigbo because they were all buttnaked savages. |
