I'm asking you about your tribe and you're telling me about African regions...😒😒😒

Fred2020:
It's possible I'm wrong here; I'm not sure you'll find many cultures in East, Northern and West Africa with dresses that are revealing (for females), notwithstanding the warmer climate...probably it has to do with the early onset of Christian and muslim missionaries to these regions.

Regardless I will like to see if you find any one similar within these regions.

Ouch! Why are you calling me a bro?😖😖😖... When did I grow a pair?🤨🤨🤨

Definitely worth is bro,
Despite all the hate online
We still can't do without each other

I am mixed, yoruba & igbo, regardless I am looking at the larger picture

Perfect, you just made things easier for me because I already have pictures from both tribes, but I can only post them tomorrow...

I'm looking forward to see what you'll have to say about them...💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿

Fingers crossed, looking forward to you found.

So how is it like being a Yobo baby with the amount of tribalism happening there between the two tribes?

There’s a lot of ethnic and religious bigotry on display on nairaland, but it doesn’t necessarily reflect the reality on the ground in Nigeria — at least not yet, thankfully. On a day-to-day basis, people generally get along with others from all backgrounds, especially when it’s in everyone’s best interest — as it should be.

Unfortunately, Nairaland — thanks to its extremely loose moderation — has allowed a handful of openly bigoted users to hijack most discussions and steer them in divisive directions. It’s become such a recurring pattern that this toxicity now defines almost every topic on the platform, regardless of the original subject.

So which culture were you raised by? Yoruba, Igbo, or a little bit of both?

Tell them make them hear abeg.

Some Saffers come on here and believe Nairaland represents day to day naija life.

I carry a flavour of both — and many others — having grown up in Lagos, a melting pot that draws people from every corner of Nigeria.

The first picture is of Yoruba girls from back in the 1800s, followed by Igbo girls... What do you then have to say about this?

Fred2020:

And these are your modernised Igbo attires for girls, which are also revealing, but I'm sure you don't see anything wrong with them since it's your tribe.

These are westernised attires with some cultural touch.

I am looking for something less adulterated by western culture.

You said I wouldn't find any attires from your culture that are revealing, but I did... So what do you have to say about them?

I also showed you your ancestral attires, which were revealing as well.

Initial scan says East or South Africa… but I’ve been wrong before—let me know how you confirmed it is west african

I like your positive contribution
Why not ignore negative
Use your energy to make people happy and yourself

In pre-colonial West Africa, breasts were like elbows—just… there. Nobody was writing love letters to them."

"But Western schooling came in hot with the censorship, and boom—suddenly people needed bras and shame."

"Meanwhile, the bottom half? That’s where the real sense of modesty always lived." In this part, I hold the view there was an expectation that they are well covered.

Those women look exactly like these Yoruba sculptures... You can't tell me that these sculptures are not from the Yoruba tribe.

Ah, I'm not judging anyone for how revealing or modest their clothing is.
I’ve just noticed that traditional South African attire tends to be more revealing, and I’m genuinely curious about the reason behind that.

I am excluding the impact of modernisation and looking to understand what it is like authenticly

these are dieties and priestesses. Not an ideal case of everyday attires

I suspect you need to do more research on this

If that's the case, then why are you allowing westernization to overcloud your judgement by considering some of our native attires as skimpy?

I mean some of us still managed to preserve our cultures and native attires for generations.

But they were inspired by real people who once lived on the face of this earth... Every deity was once a living being before.

How are those Igbo attires different from the South African ones that I posted?🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️... Aren't they all revealing?

I'm not winning this, so I'll admit you're right though we both made strong points

Comrade, you didn't make any strong points, you came with the intention of criticizing our native attires thinking that I wouldn't find anything on your tribes...

Look at how you spoilt your own thread with baseless and tiring arguments.

Just post pictures and stop arguing.

Very interesting
