Yorubas and their shameless way of life. So you are now trying to claim the pictures of Igbo women in front our eyes?
Only the two piece wrapper would have made you to have some dignity but your DNA of history revision and trying to claim other people's culture still push you around.
Shameless people.
Leaders of Aba women's riot now changed to Yoruba women

Lol that is a northerner
He made a mistake
Do you know that the Egba had guns as far as 1850s?

BKayy:
Of course Igbo land was never part of your trade network because we have nothing in common. If you are looking for Igbo trade network or have questions about their relationship with other ethnicities, Look towards Cameroon and Central Africa. This the reason why some of our culture is shared with people from that side like Ibibio, Efik, Ejeagham and Co. The only Nigerian people Ndigbo had visible contact with is Igodomigodo (ancient people of what is called Bini today and Esan). Esan even use and is still using our calendar system with the Igbo words (Eke, orie, Afọr and Nkwo)
You are just speculating. The only Nigerian tribe to have indigenous clothe production is Igbo.
Hausa had contact with the Muslim Arabs including Fulani in the late 10th century and accepted Islam in the 11th century. So they were clothed by the Arabs in the 11th century same with the kanuri. The only thing that followed suit was the establishment of Kano cloth production which later became one of the engine of the economy.
As for Yorubas, they were naked until 18th century when the fulani discovered and clothed them. Starting from Share, near Tsaragi.
This is why the traditional Yoruba men's dressing look like the bubban /boubou /baban Riga of Arabs

You are a pathetic liar

Look back in the days when when some tribes men were organizing there enclaves under a special secret sciety and distinguishing themselves in special writings, yours were still running wild in the bush
Now under a deranged online warrior you want to tell us history you don't have.
Best you stick to your useless propaganda and don't tread with your fishbrain knows nothing

LOL.
Someone just lost his senses on seeing Igbo culture and started ranting like a mad man.
Now look at the sculpture below. It is one of the best British preserved sculpture of Igbo origin dating tens of centuries ago.
Look at it and see Nsibidi at work. The lady artwork is wearing Igbo history on her
For your reference, I choose a reputable YORUBA history channel so that atleast you will have respect for your fellow Yoruba historian

And this should be the last of engagement you will get from me for our writing system. This is the reason why Igbo history is not circulated in Nigerian media because just like the way you are doing now, it will make many Nigerians run mad

This is clearly a boldface lie and you are very shameless.

You can big up your tribe without distorting the truth or denigrating other. Your insecurities are glaring.

1. It's laughable to suggest that Yorubas were 'basically naked' until 18th century after trading with the Fulanis and Europeans, when some of the easiest sculptures from Ife dating back a thousand years clearly show people wearing clothes. Even claiming the Hausas got their clothes from the Arabs is a misconception, because the tagelmust worn by Mauritanian Arabs were historically produced by Hausas and exported from Kano.

2. Claiming akwete as an independent Igbo creation ignores the contribution that the Ijebus had on the creation of akwete cloth. Akwete designs were appropriated from an older Ijebu weft float textile that Ijebus used to sell to the Ijaws centuries ago. This textile was introduced to the Ndokis via trade with Eastern Ijaws giving rise to the akwete cloth as we know it. And here you are chest-beating that Igbos are the only people in Nigeria with Indigenous cloth production and other tribes were influenced by foreigners.

I told the fact that Yorubas were naked before they had contact with Fulani but you think that attaching yourselves to Igbo Akwete clothes will make people say otherwise when it is only your blog is the doing the abominable linking.
Ndigbo never met you Yoruba guys as trade partners but as Opposite warring sides in Agha Idu na Oba in Igodomigodo (present Bini)
We share nothing in common.
Now take a look at the article FROM Vanguard on Akwete (I choose sites the person can relate to).

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/07/akwete-cloth-an-igbo-textile-art/

They specifically said that Akwete is as Old as the Igbo nation
The question is this, did Ijebu ode form the Igbo nation with us?
Oga you people were butt ass naked before the Fulani clothed your ancestors

1. Did I say Yorubas traded with Igbos? or did I say they traded with Ijaws, which through them is how you acquire the Ijebu fabric?

2. Who are they? Who are they that claim that it's as old as Igbo nation? Experts in Igbo history? I gave you a non bias perspective from an academic institution and you gave me a bias news story written by two of your fellow kinsmen who are indeed journalists and were sharing their opinions. Also, they never denigrated other tribes in their article and were very respectful in speaking of the textile tradition of other tribes unlike you.

What ever you say will not change the fact that Yoruba have their own textile tradition that date back more than 500years,that is centuries b4 Igbo and as for the north,they have an establish link with the outside world centuries b4 the arrival of Islam to Africa.Not wearing clothes don't make you less than Yoruba, don't forget Igbo have an indigenous writing system, which is an impressive achievement.

My dear it is normal to try to attach yourself to progress and great accomplishments but the way you are doing it is ridiculous.
How come it is only your site that have such ridiculous narration?
How old is Ijaw that you claimed bought from you and "gave" to Ndigbo?
Do you know what Ijaw spent almost all of their life in mid ages doing as a result of Igbo expansion?

Akwete is an Igbo exclusive thing. You Yorubas were butt ass naked before the Fulani discovered you people. Stop trying to change history.
You even got your name Yoruba from the Fulani

Wao! Nice exposé
When I studied geography in secondary school, I had wanted to be more inquisitive about longitude and latitude lines. I stumbled on a point where zero longitude meets zero latitude, then I had a rare feeling there was something hidden about the old Eastern region of Nigeria. That point was so close to the "Bight of Biafra"

Go and do your macho man outside and not online.
We are tired of you guys tirade here. Who ask una if not busybody. You want to show you are superior, then start by your actions!
Shame no dey catch you guys for once.
You hardly see igbo industrialists grant interviews.
Except how it concerns their industries. Have you asked why. Do you see igwes talk anyhow?
Ihe nwoke na eme dì ya na obi.
That's what igbo people are known for. They are not talkative! They reply you through actions!
Everyday u guys come online to tell them how we are.
Learn from others especially the fulanis.
Learn and apply wisdom.

Some have gone far as pitching igbo states against themselves.
Shame on you guys. Won't reply to this nonsense again.

Keep your useless advice to yourself. If you want a unifying topic, you should create one and not to come spewing trash all over this thread.

If you had been sensible enough, you would've asked yourself how many Fulani are exposed or on social media before arriving at such conclusion.
Even the Fulanis are gradually waking up to see the importance of information and how it can make or mar one's image.

Igbo culture is something to be proud of and not to throw under the carpet.

I pity the young man that'll end up having you as a wife, I pray a nwafor shouldn't be the unfortunate one.

Hey, take it easy.

Most countries of the world start the year on Feb until it was changed. Chinese New year still fall on feb.

Enough of this chest beating rather bring up topics that will help unite and develop igbo land very well.
I don't know if its inferiority complex that causes this.
Close your mouth and let people bask in your mystery.

may thunder strike dead u where ever u are stupid osu slave fool, if u dnt have anytin to contribute u rather shut up than type gibberish.
he shuld close his mouth while our history are been disturted,lies and propaganda are been fed by medias and SW nd as well SS. u shuld be ashamed of urself if truly u're an Igbo woman,u haven't learnt from ur forefathers whose docile behaviour after the civil war are affecting us today..

we the current Igbo generation are here to change those narrative nd if u're not cool with it u can go to the nearest local government nd change ur fcking name!! stupid bitch..

Before you guys started wearing clothes.
Yoruba have been wearing clothes, Aso Oke, kijipa, Ofi,

Very useless statement

So much for that, with some fact to show that you are not saying the whole truth, here below are some pictures which is before FULANI introduce their Islamic dansiki dress pattern to the Yoruba's which the Yoruba's will latter call it agbada.

My dear you are ashamed that I am giving it hot to your Yoruba Boyfriends.
Anybody that gets ashamed when his/her ethnicity is talked about in positive light is not proud of it
You should be ashamed of yourself to identify with Igbo. You better stick to the Yoruba dick you are sucking and leave Igbo matters to Igbotic people.
You probably thought that like you, every other Igbo will celebrate their identity demeaning and hide themselves.
We are not the same madam and don't ever think we are from the same ethnic group. I am Igbo in and out and not ashamed to project is anywhere but you can you?
As for posting it on nairaland "a Yoruba owned forum"
Madam there is something called information and it rules the world. It doesn't matter where the owner of the forum is from. If it is successful you use it. Hating on it because of the owner makes on a chronic hater.
Do you know how many young Igbo people that visit this forum (and others) on daily basis and what the gabbage they add to Igbo history and identity does to their mental health?
Do you think Linda Ikeji would have been successful without inputs by other ethnicities including Yoruba?
By the way what are you here for?
Probably to make your self believe it is worth it to be dating a Yoruba by swallowing their hateful comments on Igbo identity and expect others to cower in shame like you.
If you are waiting for all of us to keep all of the good side of our identity a mystery while the whole of Internet is littered with the propaganda, lies and gabbage your boyfriends litter then you are in for a shocker.
You are probably the type that hide their Igbo accent to be accepted.
