TheEqualizer:You throw words around like a child,honestly. These words 'mentally unstable,insecurity, prejudice,dementia are uncalled for in a simple arguement and discussion. That shows your low level of maturity and intellect. Using these words randomly does not strenghten nor validate your comments and opinion. As for igbo and shirts,i already explained it. In the marriage setting,it is part of the attire. During dances and other rituals,men can go without any shirts. I don't see how you are an authority on what is African and what is not African. I corrected something that has been entrenched deep inside the brains of Nigeria. There is a difference between igbo and ibo,not just in spelling but in pronouciation. Igbo people have already corrected that and want to be addressed as Igbo not ibo. How does it equate insecurity? Do you address yourself based on what people erroneously call you or how you want to be addressed? You think Ibo sounds better cos Europeans say so? Well then Yurba,Yoloba and Yoro-ba sounds better as well. You are the demented soul here. Only kids will call people naked when they know nothing about those people. 3 Likes |

Ihuomadinihu: Ha! It seems your problems are worse than I initially thought. Every time you throw subtle snide attacks with accusations and I assert the prognosis of the symptoms you are exhibiting, you always come back with more accusations. Seriously, are you alright mentally? You honestly don't sound like you are and you might need medical help before it becomes acute. I don't have time for a macabre dance with you. Just stay on the topic and answer the simple questions I asked you coherently like a sane mind would have done, without jumping all over the place, saying a lot, without actually saying anything. You have been spelling. 'Yoruba' as 'Yor0ba' on this thread but has any Yoruba poster questioned you? However/whichever (which you have been doing on this thread) way you want to spell 'Yoruba' is none of my business if those affected don't have a problem with it. So why are you insecure about my use of 'ibo'(which is more appropriate)? Fix up, you are acting like a broken record. 4 Likes |

theenii: Igbo's have akwa ete, which some people mistakenly think is aso oke. The town of Akwete in Abia state gets its name from that as they are master weavers of akwa ete and have been for hundreds of years 1 Like |

Ihuomadinihu: What they are calling shirt is called changi (pronounced changee) among the Ugwuta people of Imo State. I believe Kalabari call it otoobo. It is ignorant to wave it away as a "shirt", after all any covering of the body can be deemed a shirt, even the upper body covering worn by Yoruba's. It is to be noted that changi does not have a collar, is usually mid thigh length or longer and usually the sleeves end just below the elbow as opposed to wrist length 1 Like |

TheEqualizer:You asked if shirts is originally igbo. I gave you an answer right? You asked about other European wears and i said it doesn't concern me snice it's not part of Igbo traditional attire. What else do you need? Your combulated sentences and words means nothing to me,neither is a testament of intellect on this thread. Snice you want to throw words around,you can go on. As far as am concerned your sense of understanding and comprehension is too childish and poor. You should think twice before making references to things you have no knowlegde of. Get a grip on yourself,your aggressive manner of using foul words during conversations reeks of mental instability. 2 Likes |

Ihuomadinihu: Attractive to me has to be of African origin exclusively even if the fabric is borrowed and it has to be something I can wear. |
Re: 10 Beautiful African Traditional Wedding Attires by Ihuomadinihu: 7:39pm On May 09, 2015 |
Phut:Thanks. Pls refer and repost to the TheEqualizer. He/she is calling it an European shirt. Am even wondering if Europeans now dress like Igbos. |
Re: 10 Beautiful African Traditional Wedding Attires by Ihuomadinihu: 7:42pm On May 09, 2015 |
TheEqualizer:You asked a question and submitted the answers! Then what exactly was your discrepancy about the Igbo attire in the picture? |
Re: 10 Beautiful African Traditional Wedding Attires by Phut(f): 7:43pm On May 09, 2015 |
cutietokunbo: It is pure ignorance to ascribe Tying wrappers over one shoulder to Scots alone. What would you call the Greek Toga? Igbo's tie wrapper over one shoulder, Ghanians do it and I am sure there are others who do it as well. And all of this, they evolved independently. How many ways are there to even tie wrapper? It's nonsensical to assert that that people couldn't figure this out and were waiting for the Scots 4 Likes |
Re: 10 Beautiful African Traditional Wedding Attires by TheEqualizer: 7:44pm On May 09, 2015 |
Ihuomadinihu: Back to where you left off in your last reply. I asked you if shirts are of African origin and you replied by implying that the Yoruba also walk nak3d and you have pictures. How is that an answer to my question? I never even said anything about Ibo but you forced it on me. Also, I don't think I have suggested anything about my intellect on the thread. And I haven't said anything about being a wordsmith, why are you shifting to that? Are you also insecure about how/what I write? |

Ihuomadinihu: But did I say anything about Ibo attire in my post? I mentioned shirt/t-shirt/blazer/suit. The Somali groom is wearing a t-shirt. The Ethiopian groom has shirt and suit on. And Ugandan is wearing a blazer. So how you know I was talking about ibo? |
Re: 10 Beautiful African Traditional Wedding Attires by Ihuomadinihu: 7:52pm On May 09, 2015 |
TheEqualizer:Can you stop twisting your words? Everyone can see where you stated that Igbos were walking around naked and if suits and ties were of African origin. I corrected your mistakes about labelling and mocking igbos cos i have seen other naked nigerians. I already said you use derogatory words anyhow. Can't you carry on a diakogue without defamation of character. To the best of my knowlegde,this is a sign of immaturity. Why are you this insecure? 3 Likes |
Re: 10 Beautiful African Traditional Wedding Attires by TheEqualizer: 7:56pm On May 09, 2015 |
Ihuomadinihu: My post is still there on the first page (you quoted it and I can't edit your posted). Where in the post did I say Ibo? You mentioned Ibo and I replied. More prognosis(amnesia and mental instability already diagnosed): glaucoma. |

TheEqualizer:You categorically said that apart from Ivory coast and Ghana. The rest(Nigerian Igbo inclusive is unAfrican). That was where i came in and i had to tell you that Igbo attire is very African. Anybody is free to correct you and your assumption. Why are you insecure about corrections and criticisms? |
Re: 10 Beautiful African Traditional Wedding Attires by Ihuomadinihu: 7:59pm On May 09, 2015 |
TheEqualizer:Hahaha,iberibe umuaka! You made a statement and in your little mind,you felt other attires were not African enough. |
Re: 10 Beautiful African Traditional Wedding Attires by Phut(f): 8:00pm On May 09, 2015 |
Ihuomadinihu: That is correct. The use of Akwaocha (a specially woven white cloth) and akwa ete has waned a little. Here is hoping for a full scale, revival 1 Like |

Ihuomadinihu: Bring your A game when you are engaging me. I said the rest aren't 100% African but the items I suggested aren't exclusive to one group. So why the need to get defensive when the Ibo isn't the only one wearing a shirt? |

TheEqualizer: You contradict yourself. Something can't be of African origin, exclusively, if the fabric is borrowed |
Re: 10 Beautiful African Traditional Wedding Attires by Ihuomadinihu: 8:08pm On May 09, 2015 |
TheEqualizer:Unfortunately,you don't know anything about the Igbo you are writing. I've taught you well today. Feel free to ask questions concerning Igbos. Don't allow in ignorance! |

TheEqualizer:The rest aren't 100% African. In Igbo's case how? This is the bone of contention. You have no idea what is African. You don't know what has evolved. You don't know what has been borrowed. Ndoo! |
