The women look like men, why?

Seriously? And those women were comfortable that way?

Thanks to Civilization

No wonder some parts of Nigeria worship the White Man. If as recent as 1870s the elite's wives were dressing like this, what of their common people?

Looks so much like the late Surgeon. M. Jaja.

Some people may not know it but King Jaja of Opobo was an Igbo slave from Orlu in present day Imo state who was sold into slavery. I read somewhere that they still speak some form of Igbo in Opobo.

Igbo grand mother's . Where are those tribal it's. If you like come and deny. Later when a new thread springs up you will claim king jaja was Igbo.

Oh, Igbo women are naturally light skinned . I feel like mocking the tribalists today

Strong man

So na all this slippers boobs Opobo dey service anddem say na rich Man. Thank God for civilization, Dangote would take non of those things for a maid.

but these are not girls now. these are women, probably middle-aged women.

King jaja is from Amaigbo in Imo state.

So king jaja was a fan of BRESS?

His Wives Children'meal reminds of The movie " Olympus has fallen ""

God bless whoever invented Bra. I just can't imagine walking without a bra. I just can't imagine that!

now I know why King Jaja was great afteral...... dude could 'milk' anything dry!

Why is it that 90% of the posters on this thread are men?

The tallest of the wives, the second standing from the right left has a modern babe's body. Flat tummy, good bréãsts, tall, an hourglass shape; she could pass for a model.
King Jaja has eyes for good women.

Not some form but crystal clear Igbo. You will think you are in Imo state.
