Igbo cap, Okpu-Agwu is a European winter cap and not of Igbo origin - Reno Omokri (video)

Former presidential aide and social commentator Reno
Omokri, has claimed that the popular Igbo cap, Okpu-Agwu, is
not of Nigerian origin.

Speaking on a well-known podcast, Omokri stated that Okpu-
Agu is not Igbo in origin but rather a European winter cap.
‘’Nothing he is wearing is of Nigerian origin. Nothing! That
(pointing to his cap) is not of Nigerian origin. That is an
European winter cap that the colonialist's were using . It is
the truth. It is a winter cap. It is not of Igbo origin.''

Additionally, Reno claimed that the male anchor's white top,
known locally as Etibo, was not Nigerian.

‘’It is a sailors uniform. The reason why it is called Etibo is
because it was sold for 8 bows which is an old currency.
They could not pronounce bows and so they called it Etibo
It is not of Nigerian origin.

And all these wrappers they call George. The reason why
they call them George is because during the coronation of
King George, the colonial government gave the Nigerian
women George and that is when they started to wear it. It
comes from Holland and then the cheaper one comes from
India. They just make you think it is Nigerian. It is not made
in Nigeria.''

Even if we all know it’s true that does not give him the temerity to downgrade their culture!

You leave PO they assigned for you and start insulting and downgrading a whole tribe over politics, and some people are cheering you on. Soon, your cup will be full, and you'll realize you're just an ant.

He insults Igbos at any given chance. Reno no be so life be oh.

Developers always good at claiming others properties

Igbos are like gods to Reno. His brain is programmed with Igbo thoughts by default.

Firstly culture is not static it evolves

If igbos adopt winter hat as culture then it's their culture... Every culture was borrowed

Today bini and ife claim bronze arts as their culture but Igbos started doing bronze work over 100 years before the earliest Bini or Yoruba bronze work ( note; Google before you doubt me)

So culture can be adopted

Korean fried chicken was taught to them by black soldiers

Mexico claim grills meat and flate bread but the leaned it from arabs

Europeans cultural food is potatoes but it's American

Jollof rice, cassava, potato, cocoyam, cocoa, pawpaw, banana, plantain, pineapple, oranges, mangoes, are not indigenous to Nigeria

And so,Ankara we all wear and know as native is made in Holland and other Countries like China

Not even the name "Nigeria" is original to Nigeria

The name was created in London by a white woman, and her husband brought it to West Africa. But if you ask the Nigerian, he will claim to own the name, a name not even created in Africa, or by an African

So let's hear something new

Please don't make racist and tribalistic comments on this section

That's all I have to say

Somebody should remind Mockery that even cloths that we wear is also European culture, Africans wear leaf and animal hides before civilization. He should stop feeling funky about nothing.

You way de talk.... Na true or na lie... It's not by saying tribal 👎 talks

And Chukwuma was right there in Ibo attire looking at him stunned, he chose the wrong time to wear the attire to the studio O boy, Reno!

Winter cap inside sub Saharan Africa hot weather 😂

Ankara is a printed fabrics and not an indigenous attire. For the Yorubas, their indigenous attire is that hand-woven fabrics popularly known as "Aso Oke".

But your people wear agbada inside same heat? Don't u see the hypocrisy?

Thank you Reno "JOHN WICK" Omokri

According to radio carbon dating by the British professor of archeology Thurstan Shaw in 1958 of ancient relics discovered at the compound of Isaiah Anozie in present day Igboukwu, Anambra state , Igbos had been living in present location and same culture since 7th century AD. At that time there was no British empire but Roman , Vikings and few other empires . British came into existence around 12th century AD so between Igbos and British who copied themselves?

Nigeria is not even an indigenous name. Na white woman give us the name

Clearly what I can see is a man who's absolutely obsessed with the thought of a particular people.

Reno needs rehab more than a jealous woman do. That's a fact.

It’s actually funny watching people wear an European cap as a cultural cap, worst of all in Africa

Imagine if a culture has adopted winter jacket as a mode of dressing in Africa.. weird !

like seriously Reno omokri mess up.


Even if we all know that's d bitter truth, must he say it?


No b every clothes dem Dey sun dry

No arguments. This is chatgpt response.



................In time, the wind will strip him bare,
and silence will remember what noise forgot.

See how ignorance has made a whole people not to realize that Akwette Cloth is more than 400 years , when igbos were weaving Akwette ,Reno's ancestors were walking around in the bush with leaves, do I tell you about the Igbo iron age that is older than the world iron age.

We started smelting iron before the British and then Indians and the records are there in lejja we made weapons for the world more than 2000 BC , that was before Alexander the great , igbos were already making iron weapons before Roman empire , Greece empire, before Moses, around the time of Abraham.


Lejja iron works preceded the Egypt, assyrian, babylonian, Persian, Greece, Roman, British Russian and what ever remains of Nigeria. We made iron works we were not doing that naked we made clothes before iron

Reno who has not washed his nyash well is still looking for a job APC.. Why are you people doing this to this old goat…?

He says the cap is not native to Nigeria….but is the name Nigeria native? LOL

We ALL KNOW it was and remains a slave name given to an area of blacks (that the British first called as Northern Nigger Area and Southern Nigger Area when they created their first two colonies aka protectorates aka territories)…


So over to you Gray beard man…
