That material isn't an ordinary ankara. You can't find it littered in the markets but a sacred material in Igbo culture used by Elders for traditional rites.

then the" Elders in counsel " should be the sole custodians of it.

culture should be dynamic not static...

If this diatribe was from a northerner you bloody hypocrites would be here jumping head over heels condemning Islam and muslims,accusing them of intolerance and all the usual tantrums you throw at them.Now that it's coming from Franklin-not Musa or Garba-a fellow 'civilized' and 'educated' 'southerner,what do you have to say Dan Ubanku!?? angry

This is extreme and i disagree.

When something which is worn or woven for elders is abused , it must be said/pointed out. It's just the same way you see a child doing something not right and discipline and watch it... someone will reprimand you for ruining the child's self-confidence.

You appear too passionate over things

I support the young man but it's unfortunate we have lost it all in this country . I wonder if our kids these days kmow what their lineage eat or does not eat. Socialization and Christianity have killed our tradition. Even women and untitled young men wear redcap currentky which used to be a taboo in igboland .

God bless you
We probably wouldn't have things to teach our children.

A Facebook user Egunnaya Franklin has called out a lady for sewing short shorts with the ISI AGU material, worn mostly by the Igbos.

He wrote;

"Me, am not in support of this, it is an insult to the Igbo nation, come on, we have traditions for crying out loud, how can a full grown lady sew short with our ISI AGU, and you call it civilization, how many Hausa's and Yoruba's have been civilized to this point, it's a total disrespect to our tradition, I don't support evil"

The culture that didn't prevent you from travelling to Malaysia, Indonesia e.t.c to do all kinds of illicit and embarrassing criminal activities. Isi Agu is just a fabric. Get out of the wood! The lady may be an enterpreneur promoting her product. You are there wasting your data on criticizing her entrepreneurial effort. Keep on waiting for Buhari to provide you with a job.

shame.....
i bet you don't even know the meaning of Isi Agu and you probably wouldn't know a single thing to teach your kids about the igbo culture. Igbo excel in alot of countries around the world and wear these materials on cultural days as an identity BECAUSE when asked they have a story to tell about the various thing they wear.

I once explained to my curious foreign colleague on our wears and told who wears these and why.

'copped this
All this animals don't exist in West Africa what's indigenous to West Africa is leopard and YES LEOPARD is the original and indigenous AGU OKPU and is not Lion,tiger etc. I wonder why I no longer see the leopard type again but only the tiger and lion which reminds me of the movie called the chronicles of Narnia so I'm asking is this all about civilization/westernization and some one is out there talking about culture tradition this and that without noticing the mistake been made nowadays.

Certainly, they sell in yards. When you buy, you sew to your taste.
However, I'm sure the original ones (like hers) don't come cheap.

Nota Bene: I've attached her Facebook username. You can chat her up.
