Dear Chimaobi,

Thank you for your feedback. You asked for photographic evidence? Please find attached a piece of furniture upholstered with the original antique colonial era upholstery fabric, which some of our people now refer to as 'Isi-agu'.

Also find attached a White European man wearing the same head warmer that some of our people now call their 'traditional cap'.

These materials were introduced into Igboland in the 1850s. If you can show me any documentary evidence of the existence of Isi-agu or your traditional cap before Bishop Samuel Ajayi-Crowther brought European missionaries to Igboland, I make a vow and covenant to pay you ₦10 million.

Do you even see what some of our people call okporoko (stockfish) today? It is also not of Nigerian origin. It was a prominent aspect of the relief materials used to address the Kwashiokor crisis between 1967 and 70. That is why and how okporoko became popular in Biafra and Igboland till today. We have Chief Awolowo and the nation of Norway to thank for Okporoko. Before the Nigerian civil war, Nigerians did not know anything like Okporoko.

Thanks again, and may God bless you.

This guy

Reno Omokri is a compulsive liar and an identity thief who has made many false claims and offered money if found to be wrong. But the truth is that he has never redeemed any prize after his false claims were debunked.

These are the kind of things in political positions. No one knows he's tribe in Nigeria.

For where, they won’t be able to provide evidence. Instead, nah to dey throw insult..

Back then, most of their fore-fathers were still living inside forest..

Now this is real definition of pettiness

Why should Reno be demeaning Igbo's attire?

You F'up Reno. Don't be too carried away with politics now

Which of the presidential candidates never put on the Isi Agu attire? Do you know more than them?

There is even a single for the attire back then self, Apkoshe na him dey reign, ebano brother go buy your own stuffs

Omo Kirikiri, please nah, forgive Igbos. I know they passed their boundaries, but biko, forgive them. This history you have been posting is too much, please forgive them.

People act like culture is static Lmaooo

Of someone wears is ishi Agu deep down you already assumed he is Igbo... That's enough to show u that it's Igbo cultural attire

Every nation picks culture from somewhere na

We can say England practically have No culture because they borrowed almost everything even their Royal Family is French

EmperorCaesar:


Everything about them is fake

Not even their tradition and traditional attire is original

What a group!

Yes nah, people that produce babies in baby factories, is that not fake DNA? Or how do you trace the real parents of babies produced in baby factories and sold all over Africa?

Is that why your English is so poor? Or where you taught Mathematics and Sciences in Igbo language if you say English is not your mother or sister’s tongue?

You're a petty character. For sure. Yet it would be commendable if you can debunk Omokri's claim on this occasion rather than attack his character frivolously.

Oga,
The onus is on you to prove Mr Omokri wrong that this so called Isi-agu was not originally used in furniture upholstery.
Give us facts and evidence....

Chaii, the kind of morons I share country with. Na the Angel wey carry me enter this joke of a nation na him I go reason later. So Igbo attire is now the latest distraction

helinues:

Mr reno
You say your problem with them is was because obidients insulted your children which is very understandable and could be solved ..because I’ve been following to try to understand why you always give negative comments about the igbos
But lately I beginning to think it is deep rooted and are using obidients as the perfect excuse
Hopefully you can look beyond the differences and support them too
Udo🤍

If not for anything, I like Reno and Asari for using every opportunity to taunt the Igbos.

How can some Igbos be too emotional to give prominence and attention to someone like Reno? A childish psychopath who lies and causes chaos for a living?

Someone who has no history is telling you whose history maybe be better than his that you have no history and most Igbos are riled up already. As if other tribes in Africa were not wearing leaves and animal skins before the so called history.

If you don’t stop giving relevance to people like Reno and Asari, una go learn the hard way.

Nonsense!

This guy just makes me laugh. He’s such a free spirit. Always riveting. 😂

So what was Ibo cultural attire before this upholstery material?
Leaves and vegetation?
Lol...😁😄

Sharpsharp00123:

We were a group of independent villages, some part of Igbo land had their own unique way of dressing... Some where primitive n nude

Some had a well defined kingdom some didn't


But we realized we as igbos were different from others we gradually accepted some common things

Eg ) There is no part of Igbo that speak central Igbo... It is a modern invention .. An Igbo we all can hear and communicate in

So. I don't what the fuss is about

typical
