Indigenous words you got wrong
Musu is not from pussy
Iresi is not from 'rice', just like emi/mi in Yoruba is not from English me, though they mean same thing. Also words like riz---- turns into rice is not from English, English adapted it. Baba is Yoruba word for father, it's a common word for father in many cultures as well because if it's simplicity in sound by babies. Oronbo is not from orange, it's a dialect yoruba word for orange with the main word for orange in yoruba being Osan. Akuko is indigenous word for chicken, like another yoruba word for chicken adiye/ediye. Nothing like SHUKURU used for school in Yoruba, school is Ile iwe. Bobo is a indigenous Yoruba word. I'm not sure about konkere, so I'll leave it. Taba is not from tobacco.... I know this post is long ago, by why does nairaland have such rubbish posts.

BKayy:

LOL. We are talking about facts and you are bringing folktales of "Ogun discovering Iron"
Yorubas are pathetic

Igbos like yourself are pathetic, I'm talking all facts, you are talking about Palm wine drinkers and ugu eaters of Enugu's dating. And stick to the topic which is as not stealing from other cultures outfits.

BKayy:

You don't worth a dirth on my shoe.

I wonder why you people are ashamed of your ancestors. It's like the shame blocks every reasoning that you can't even notice the date in the pictures you are masquerading as them.
First I pointed out the one of 1957 clothing. Now 2000 hairstyle as your ancestor of 1800

I don't know why you are struggling. Is the shame that deep? Or what? I don't understand.
The pictures have date tags. Just look at them

I've posted several pictures from the 1800's and from the early 1900s too, which you choose to ignore. You're just an idiot, you have no point so you are trying your hardest to cope whichever way you can. And you can't even spell, what a dunce, "dirth". And that one picture was commissioned in 2000 but was taken in the 60's as apart of a visual art series, ode. There was no camera in the 1700s so I can't go further back. Meanwhile you can't post anything of your people rotflmao.

Some of the pictures from the 1800's that I posted

BKayy:

The oldest Iron site in Nigeria is in "Lejja, Enugu state".
https://www.journalajst.com/geophysical-investigations-locating-buried-iron-slag-lejja-southern-nigeria
It even made news in 2018
https://thingsnigeria.com/2018/02/14/lejja-the-worlds-oldest-iron-smelting-site-in-nigeria/

I doubt there is any Yoruba that actually research

Enugu news and Nigerian journalists. I doubt that there is any igbos that actually research. The most important iron sites is in Yoruba land, Ife ,and the first to actually usher an iron age. And that my friend, is why Yoruba ancient art is more well known. On that same page.
https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/iron/hd_iron.htm

And you have been shifting the topic, which is copying other ethnicities clothing

BKayy:

Those recent pictures. Very soon you will post pictures of Wizkid and David to buttress how much ashamed you are of your ancestors

You mean Igbo "have a complex for Yoruba savagery?". Lol you're hallucinating

It is quite interesting that the Yoruba women have "magnificent braids and styles" nobody knew of but the wives of Alaafin wore the hairstyles below.

Just look at their punk, Jet Li hairstyles

Low iq and Inferiority complex is affecting you. You have lost the plot, are you arguing against traditional braided Yoruba hairstyles now too, shuku, Didi, koroba, irun Kiko, patewo, Omole gogoro, Ipako Elede, etc. They wore several hairstyles, including that too and also head dress called Gele. Like I said, don't project. There are pictures Ashanti women with buns doesn't mean they didn't do other hairstyles. You need to take yout drugs fam.

BKayy:
As usual, Yorubas are ashamed of their fore fathers.
None can muster the courage to post how the white men met their ancestors.

None can muster the courage to post the pictures of their great grandparents before Nigeria was established.

The clown before me (Saukruat) even posted one from 1951. Are you kidding me?
1951 of yesterday?
Very soon you will post pictures of Davido and Wizkid as your ancestors

I posted several pictures from the 1800's, you can't post one of your people without shame. That's how the white men and foreigners before them met Yorubas. Keep moving the goal post ,Igbo with Inferiority complex.

Jameseddi1:
Benin colonized Ebo and some part of Yoruba this clothes might be gotten from Benin as Yoruba and Ebo was naked before

This is what happens when you do drugs. Benin need to find a traditional fabric first. And Benin and Yorubas don't share any traditional clothing, so there's nothing to get from your naked selves. Whatever clothe you wrap around your bare chests has nothing to do with Yoruba culture as aso oke, Adire, iro, buba, Agbada, ipele, Gele, kembe ,etc has nothing to do with Edo culture.

BKayy:

That is it my brother. Every cat and dog wants to claim relationship with superior culture.
The thing is funny. Britain started it with trying to link Akwete to Indian lungi, Now Yorubas of Yesterday want to claim origin. Yorubas of few centuries ago.

Little did all of them know that Akwete started with grass and rafia fibre as well as other Igbo cloth producers like we have in Northern Igboland before moving to cotton. Britain gave up after extensive studies but these ones want to start their own. People that every artifact in Igboland outdates.

Imagine the dude wanted to talk about Bronze. A Yoruba man talking about bronze. When did Yoruba started making bronze sculptures? ​The dude did not know that what he posted as well as most of the Yoruba sculptures are Brass and Copper. The oldest of those brass and copper sculptures date 12th century. Bronzes, if any of the Yorubas works must be considered as such dates from 15th century, same with Bini.
Bini is the youngest in the game. Most of Bini bronzes shows evidences of European contact like cross and bowler hats.

This is why I told that guy that if he wants bronze and artifact discussion, he should wait till I am through with clothing.


See the oldest known Bronze of lost wax technique in Africa. It is from Igbo-Ukwu

Keep coping about Yorubas. Yoruba iron sites are the most ancient in Nigeria.

Igboid:
What the Igbo accomplished in precolonial NIGERIA, no Nigerian group can compare to it.

Not even their envy, jealousy or bitterness can erase the accomplishment of our Igbo ancestors!
We have to be grateful to the white men for keeping records of these events.

There's nothing like Nigerian group. And the most accomplished ethnicity pre colonial and post colonial are the Yorubas. So great that people all over the world study them, their history is legendary.

Chei, Yorubas have corrupted various sources online with Lagos-Ibadan media lies ooo. How vile can these people be that they are making Igbos, Europeans and Ijaws write lies about history like this.

HA HA , finish him . I'm sure he'll find a way to blame Yorubas for historical truths written centuries ago by other people from various sources, lol

BKayy:

They say great civilisation think alike but the main aim of the picture is about the materials. Unlike you, Ndigbo didn't have any single contact with Fulani until Nigeria was established.
Putting cloth halfway across the shoulders is an ancient way of dressing which Ndigbo as well as Greeks, Romans,, Berbers, the Amharas of Ethiopia, Jews, Massai of Kenya and other impressive civilisations share.
Yorubas can't be out in the same line with these great civilisations because you don't even wear clothes.

That Obi of Onitsha dressing is a proof of great civilisation (Igbo, Greek, Romans etc) thinking alike

Igbos embarrassing themselves again linking and comparing themselves to Jews, Greeks, Ethopians like Hoteps with identity crises and cultural inferiority. Have some shame. Post an old picture of an Igbo dressed like that lmao. Oh and y'all met Hausa's pre Nigeria lmao

BKayy:

Your first paragraph answered your last confusion.
The bottom line of both is that Cloth is not indigenous to Yorubas. You didn't think it out, you copied and you have already accepted that it was from the Sahara. So unlike You Yorubas, trans Saharan trade wasn't obvious in Igboland, so we didn't get anything from the Sahel.
Now who came from the Sahara to Nigeria?
Answer is Fulani.


This is what Google lens to people.
So you saw "du mossi" and you are still confused. This is about history and appropriate names are used.
Please ask someone to tell you what "French Soudan" is.


This right here ends the discussion. What else to argue when you already accepted that none of those clothes are indigenous to yorubas but came as a result of Saharan influence which I stated.
I also stated where it came from and the Yoruba groups that first has that contact which is Ilorin from Nupe and Fulani. Aso oke was Fulani and the other buba styled is Nupe.
One thing I will like you to understand is that the Saharan baban Riga which you Yorubas call Agbada's origin is known worldwide. It is from Tuaregs/Berbers of Maghreb. The cloth was designed to withstand desert storm. Put it as a cloth + tenth. Some Igbo politicians started wearing it after our forced inclusion to Nigeria. Unlike you shameless people, we don't claim what is not ours.


Now this part is the comedy designed to end your confusion with laughter .
You have scholarly articles but you keep on posting your blogs. You don't actually need blogs to prove anything if you know what you are saying.
If, I repeat "if" the Aso oke Fulani brought to Yorubas later on got to Igbo, then Igboland would have been included in trans Saharan trade route, but No, it isn't. So you see my dear Yoruba man, you can't wish things into existence. If you have seen and felt Akwete before, you won't be having this confusion. The only people that introduced things to the other is Igbo to Yorubas. One typical example is blacksmithing which helped reduce the reliance on Nupe and very inaccessible/unreliable ones from fellow Yorubas.
Finally, the acclaimed fez hat. I believe you were the one I cured his ignorance in one thread like that. Igbo red hats have always been there with the Ọzọ society, the only thing that changed is material.
One of your fellow ignoramus claimed it was introduced for warrant chiefs in early 1900s but the slave traders and early Europeans saw and recorded it in 1800s. We also have bronze masks of 9th century depicting it as well.

A lot of incoherent jibber jabber. People of close ethnicities can share similar outfit cuts, it has nothing to do with borrowing, but fashion of similar demographics. And Agbada has nothing to do with Babaringa and they are distinguishable by appearance! I and nobody confuses a Babaringa to an agbada. Aso oke fabric, Adire, etc remains same no matter the cut of the clothe. Just like how the three Asian super powers have some similarly historical outfit cuts, but different fabrics and distinct from each other. Same with some Malinke, wolof, fula , bamabara outfits. Same with English, German, French attires. And so on.

Use your iq, if you have any. Also Yoruba men have other traditional attire like kembe and so forth. And that's not a hat, that's a bead, if your eyes can't see well. Yoruba ancient arts show the different outfits of both male and female, and with old pictures to match it too.

Some Japanese, Chinese and Korean traditional clothing, the male (and even their female attires too) share similar cuts due to proximity and fashion history, but are distinct by look, origin and are made from different traditional indigenous fabrics. Dunce!

BKayy:

That is where they will be disgraced like that fake Oyo calvary.
Yorubas don't even have indigenous clothing but most of them here don't know.
Like the OP bundarina, most of them swallowed the fake things their dubious blogs and fake historical books fed them whole but God/Nature has a way of doing things.

She (Nature) makes them to jump into arguments like this so that they will be exposed and helped to reconnect to their roots (Their original history and culture that they are running from).

In matters like this, I present evidences that makes them realise that those books have been deceiving them all along. For example, the picture below, just one have already summarised who clothed Yorubas and where the cloth came from. The picture is of Sudanese Fulani. You can see Aso oke, Aso whatever and other names they call them in one picture.

Cope.
Spamming with old Yoruba pictures

BKayy:

Honestly, most these Yorubas are filled with ignorance.
Did one say Ijaw make clothes? Lol
Not just make clothes but export it to Ndigbo

I saw one claim head dress as part of Yoruba culture. The same Yorubas that their women either plait hair or wear Chinese kind of hairstyle?
Most of these Yorubas have deep inferiority complex. The way they rush to claim ownership of what isn't their culture is shamefully amazing

Yes the Gele headdress is part and parcel of Yoruba culture and you will keep feeling your inferiority complex. It's however not part of your Igbo culture. Yoruba women had magnificent braids styles but still wore Gele's traditionally for several occasions and casual settings too. It's like marvelling that British ladies wore Church hats and also wore buns and pig tails , lmao.

bomb24:


Their stupidity and ignorance is mind blowing, just take a look at the dubious way they were trying to link akwete to to some un-existent ijebu clothing lines and ijaws.

Thank-Goodness I had to tag u, before they start leeching themselves into our history like they did to the benins and bullied them into submission.

Yorubas don't leech themselves to anyone's history, that's Igbos behavior. That's why y'all wear Edo attire and whenever they speak, they get shut down by y'all, lol. Yorubas have too much of a great culture from traditional attires, to kingdoms, ancient arts, language, worldwide known traditional myths and legends comparable to Greek and Roman mythology.

BKayy:
OK, Mr OP bundarina what you need to do is ask those you think Ndigbo copied from "who owned it"
Your ascertions is actually the reverse. Ndigbo exported textiles to all including Igala.

Yoruba on the other hand, doesn't know anything like cloths. Only those under Islamic influence have access to such luxury, either from Fulani, Nupe, Hausa or occasional Mali/Songhai traders (mainly those outside Nigeria).

Honestly you Yorubas should dedicate much time to studying yourselves than poking into people that are actually superior to you.
No matter the slander, whenever Ndigbo take up the argument, you can't help but feel the difference quality.

As for "gele" my dear, prior to Islamic /European contact, Yoruba women don't wear such. Your women rock Chinese "queue" like hairstyle. The type that Jet-Li wear in his films. Head dress came to you people primarily through Islamic contact. It is not your original culture

Igbos, don't project your history onto others, Yoruba people. And your posted image does nothing to debunk that Akwette is a recently 1900s fabric created from fabrics sold by ijaw Yorubas and Portuguese traders. And that's why it's never a staple part of your culture unlike Yoruba Also oke, Adire, and so on.

Yoruba Gele is cultural, just like the rest of Yoruba clothing, Iro ,buba and ipele. And it has nothing to do with Islam, many Yorubas had strong traditional worshippers and the fabric had meaning assigned even to the various Orishas, some Orishas attached to several fabrics. Thats why there are more Christian Yorubas than Muslim ones today. And unlike you, Europeans have nothing to do with any part Yoruba civilization. The inferiority complex is strong with you.

Yorubas in their indigenous ancient fabrics

BKayy:

Yoruba has no indigenous clothing except for animal skin. So I wonder what you thought your people were trading.
Akwete (so named after the town that weaves it) is traditional indigenous Igbo cloth that spread across Old Eastern region nations. Put it this way as something uniting Ndigbo with Ibibio, Efik, Annang etc. I have seen many propose theories mainly hamitic to make it second but never have I seen one as petty as yours.
"from West to East?" my dear you need to have indigenous cloth to export one.

As for Yoruba indigenous animal skin clothing and what you people now claim as yours. Look at the pictures below.
1st /2nd pic = Yoruba Prince in traditional animal skin.
3rd pic= The Fulani clothing, they (Fulani) clothed Yorubas with. The picture is of Sudanese Fulani

I am not here to revise those blog articles you Yorubas fool yourselves with. If it is not 1st person recorded history or reasonable discovery, it is not fact.
1st pic

Yorubas 1st and 2nd pic, 1800s

Igbos 3rd and 4th pics in the later periods of 1900s, lol.
Some of you igbos remind me of delusional Hebrew Israelites who don't want to accept history, as a quick google search by any one who cares disproves all your babbling and sad attempt at coping.

bomb24:


Akwete yoruba?

Afonjas are eternally foolish!

yorubas had no indegenous clothing line.

the aso oke u claim today came from the fulanis.

cc bkayy
igboid

ekealterelgo

Fulani clothing has nothing to do with Yoruba indigenous clothings nor do they're look anything alike. Stop coping. Maybe if you leaf dancing people had developed a fabric independently you will not have to cope like this.

A lot of igbo cope and projection on this thread, liking each other's post doesn't change facts. It's true. Igbos copy other ethcities attire but some other minor tribes do too, it's shocking as igbos who are not a minor tribe do it. Gele has nothing to do with Igbo, nor Edo crown beads ,nor Efik shirt, but many igbos wear it like it's their culture. The red cap worn sometimes by igbos, not the Christmas cap one, is also a standard Hausa cap of red color.

Yorubas were never naked, or known to wear animal skin, that's the Igbo, igbos rejecting their history to other people is pure coping. Interesting how the Igbos here choose to attack Yorubas when Edo's and Efiks were mentioned too. Shows the inferiority complex and who it's directed to. Akwette was modeled from foreign fabrics, spun by just one women and only came to existence in the 1990s meanwhile Aso oke, one of the Yoruba fabrics is dated 1400s.

Igbos after missionaries and colonialism used foreign wrappers called Gorge Indian textiles. So even the recent akwette fabric made from imported cotton, began to die off more. This is why there's no native Igbo fabric used by igbos in Mass till this day, but rather George and Indian imports.

SultanOfPuna:
If this is what is called Beauty in 1957
Then I must say I'm HIGHLY disappointed
Make una dey talk true for once
The woman no fine at all

My grandma from Enugu who is 86 was very far more beautiful and sexy than this woman during 1957..

Look at her picture below
She is the beautiful LoLo in the middle
That pic below was before Independence

Those are Yoruba women in the picture, not Enugu women or your fictional grandmother. You look stupid claiming the culture and picture of an ethnicity you're trying to insult. Are you high?

OPCNAIRALAND:
Where is pazienza, feed your eyes on these pictures.

The first one and second picture you see beside the nice yummy brea.sts for good squeeze and suck and their hairdo nothing else on the girls in this Igbo picture is impressive. Look at their feet and the metal plates. You also see some ivory on them but no coral beads.

The third picture is an Igbo woman taken in the 60s, (sixties) you see the george and the blouse. No beads, no gele, no buba.

The fourth picture is a Yoruba woman taken in the 50s (fifties). You see she wore velvet, in different style to the one I posted earlier. For this and the earlier Yoruba woman you see the elaborate adornment with gold jewelries on ears, around neck, on wrist and fingers. It is easy as well to tell class, civilization and beauty. If the lady in second picture had been wearing english gown and not iro and buba it would be impossible to identify as Yoruba because of the setting and style....sophisticated!
Im sure you heard that word before.

The Yoruba woman in the last picture was wearing Aso Oke material, not Velvet and it has nothing to do with Velvet. Get it right, we wear and wore our indigenous Aso Oke not Velvet, that red bedsheet like clothe, the igbos who import from India.

PRXPERT:
I swear I should not have commented but I must say that yoruba are the most primitive tribe! they hardly travel out, imagine how surprised the op is. about the "Ichafu" by our women! unlike you we know that you call it aso ebi, because we travel and have learnt that.. my grandmother wears ichafu, and what they call "gorge" there are akwaete cloths that can be found amongst igbo people to, they are purely igbo made unlike your imported own, we wear lace too, though it is gradually fading away! there is more of what we call senator amongst igbo guys... y'all are very myopic.. when you leave your enclave, you will realise that we don't eat, drink, engage with same thing you do over their in the west! East is a totally different places in all facets... if you're blind folded and was taken to igbo from west... you will know that you're in a different world!! we are not same!

Its you igbos that are primitive, stop projecting, it's unfortunate. Yorubas centuries ago created clothings STILL relevant till today, Aso Oke and Admire among others. Igbos didn't and roamed about naked while Yorubas were looming fabric and weaving cotton. "George" is imported from India, mumu. Aso Oke and Adire have always been made by Yoruba Weavers and dyers. Mumu.

OPCNAIRALAND:
By the way since you dont know adire, hardly you know velvet. Here it is nicely adorned by, of course, Yoruba woman.

This is Also Oke, traditional Yoruba indigenous Yoruba clothing, not velvet.
