No photo at that time in the north,but every person with functioning brain known that 80% of northern tribes have been wearing clothes,for more than a thousand year.Why do you think we have the second largest slaves population after America, they were use in Cotton plantation. We use to have the largest textile industry pre-colonize sub Sahara Africa. So yes 100% sure my ancestors don't look like this.

. Rubbish, I stay in the north, Adamawa/taraba were some communites still go about their business uncladed

SagePerv:


Pictures like this triggered the invention of Bra.

Don't kill me with laugh abeg. Even when I saw the picture I said Yea bra is very very and very necessary.

Again read what I wrote carefully and clearly.I said 80% of the North. I didn't include the Bush tribe of Adamawa,Benue platue,And Guari.Those people are like you guys.It was those people our ancestors use as slave,try to read history of slave raids in Adamawa and Tarabe.Never compaire those people with us.We were never Bush people.

zendy:



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.

The 2 languages spoken in Opobo are Igbani (from when Jaja lived with the Manila Pepple House in Bonny Kingdom) and Igbo language from his native Igbo roots.

ORIENTNIGERIA:

"Then, there were morals and communal living; civilization took that and brought competition, finally turning us against each other"

Oh well, that happens to be one of the numerous disadvantages of civilization.

fr3do:


Slave mentality!
The white man did not bring civilization, we have always had it, in those days,hardly was there crime,morality reigned hard.

The white maltreated your ancestors and put them into slavery.

Myy ancestors? Ehmmm, and who told you Jaja was Yoruba?

Btw, I'm sure you know the definition of civilization, slaves still exists, but do they go unclad like these ones? Things have changed over the years.

david22uu:

misreal:
so??what is the significant difference between them and the ladies that walk the street totally naked.mtchww.

Yea, little or no difference. But you dont have to Mtchwww to drive a point.

Ozize:


Helo Mr. Vicky. I would like to know what you mean by "thanks to civilization". Thanks in advance :-)

I take it to mean, you're asking a rhetorical question, but I'm still gonna answer you.
The invention of Bra to cover those stuffs is civil enough. Slaves still exist, but they dont go bare like they used to.

Btw, I'm not Mr. Vicky

Dronedude:


You would have been comfortable then.

Not sure I would have been. The look is somehow. Posing for a snapshot for that matter
But once you're left with little or no option, you've got to rock the boat.

klodike:
Women were ugly then.

They werent ugly, they just dint know how to look good.

dearpreye:


Hmm! It seems we're heading back to those days now!

rabimlomo:

We are going back to those times in terms of dressing

I tell you! No doubts, we are. Unclad peeps everywhere

Jattuboy:
thanks to civilization indeed.

Muslim women have been civilised decades b4 dis era. they have been covering since before this time.

how I wish he was a Muslim, this would have not happened to this women.

Huh? How you wish? Not only Muslim women were civilized then. Well, it's history now.

VickyRotex:
Seriously? And those women were comfortable that way?

Thanks to Civilization

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.

So the people of Adamawa and Taraba were uncivilized? What part of the north are you from?

you didn't have to type an insult because your flawed amala-inspired post is already an insult to human reasoning...useless filthy thing.

Your useless father is mad, little wonder he begot a lunatic like you

Reading up more on king Jaja and his Igbo roots. Jajas father was called Ozurumba.

TheRealAdonye:
King Jaja's son, Sunday married a white woman (Scottish to be exact) and they gave birth to MacPepple (Jeki the 3rd) who was a white man in all ramifications and that's how the Kingdom started having fair princes and princesses.

No wonder the current King Dandeson looks like half-cast. Thanks for the info anyway.

In those days they call them breasts not boobs

boyswizz:
IOI. guy u dy craze

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

Men ehn, una no dey use eye see boobs. Una must vibrate. Mscheeeew.

Is the estimated 90 percent male participation greater than on any other threads in the Politics section?

Switching topic for a moment, I would like a response to the question I asked here. (Link below.) Seun or the responsible person can respond there, please and thanks.

Civilization or Westernization?

King Jaja married these woMen?

I find it funny that people equate covering the female breasts with being civilised.

Defcon1:

But Africans say the white man destroyed Africa and Africans

Oh well, we both know western civilization got its pros and cons.

AABeauty:


Civilization or Westernization?

Western Civilization. We both know it brought about urban development and social stratification.

customized07:
The women look like men, why?

It would have been lovely.

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

Civilization came with his brother corruption into Africa.

cassyrooy:
you see, then women weren't beautiful as they are today, and p0rn were not there to rig the minds of men, olosho don't stand along *streets*pathways to lure men.

Then it was how many tubers of yams, basket of fish and palm oil sales that attract them.

VickyRotex:


Western Civilization. We both know it brought about urban development and social stratification.

So, the cities of precolonial Nigeria and the hierarchical societies that came with them do not qualify as 'urban development' and 'social stratification'?
