Ihuomadinihu:
Nigerians were all going around naked. The oldest fabrics in Africa were only found in Mali,Burkina faso and the South east,that explains the people that were going around naked before they learnt how to weave clothes from Malians and Igbos.

Ihuomadinihu:
Slavery is as old as man. People all over the world have enslaved and sold others. Trans atlantic slavery is just a recent memory/record of slavery. Just trying to correct the impression that blacks are semi primitive cos of slavery. Whites have sold whites,blacks have sold blacks. Unfortunately,the Western media keeps pushing black on black slavery above the rest.

KoloOyinbo:
You are correct. He is unlikely to be PM.

His job will be to 'reinvent' the Labour Party by moving it significantly towards the centre. This will take MORE than one term to do. Leftist policies are very much out of favour as indicated by recent election results. Even the Trade Unions recognise this and are now moderate rather than fanatical leftist.

In his position (not that I would want to wallow in the filth and corruption of British politics) I would be unsure if I wanted this job. It could well be the proverbial 'poisoned chalice'.

cap28:
I am Igbo so this has nothing to do with tribalism or jealousy, I am simply stating the truth, I live in the UK and I know how whites who make up 90% of the population think of black people, Umunna may be half white but in their eyes he is not a son of the soil and therefore will never be accepted by them as a leader. Obama was successful in the US because blacks and Hispanics overwhelmingly voted for him and they constitute a sizeable proportion of the US population, UK blacks (who are likely to vote for Umunna in overwhelming numbers) only make up about 3% of the british population so black people in the UK are insignificant as far as politics is concerned here in the UK.

The british labour party are now so desperate to get back into office that they are now clutching at straws, it doesn't matter how much they compare Umunna to Obama it is not going to convince staunch white English racists to vote in a half black british man as their future PM.

Ihuomadinihu:
How many times did i write a European?
So far,you 've not been able to convince anyone that Igbo attire is UnAfrican. Following your analogy, coral beads and buttons are unAfrican. It's a pity you can't say any stuff with writing mental unstability.
I don't expect someone that spells Ihuomadinihu as Ihuomdinihu to be Sane!
You are the deranged person here!

somegirl1:
Right after you prove that the attire in question is a European shirt.
Convince me. And please go straight to the point. .

TheEqualizer:
It's a an European styled shirt. This is a Thomas Pink shirt design below (compare the design with what the Ibo groom is wearing and you'll see that they're basically the same):

Also, look at the cufflinks. Are they also African?

I don't have a traditional attire. I'm a black man and I don't do tribal identity.

tonytony208:
Yet another Yoruba! Am certain the flaaaatheads aren't happy about this, but ain't Nada they can do about it; the same way they can do Nada about Dr. Ariyo.

Ihuomadinihu:
^This is terrible.

Ihuomadinihu:
This is for you.

Ihuomadinihu:
What's my business if you identify with mentally unstable people. Ara gbashie kwa gi nti.
Am waiting for you to say that your Boxers,phone,laptops, toothbrush,shoes are unafrica and shouldn't be used at all.

Ihuomadinihu:
You are just going back to your original defintion of African attire. It must not be produce in Africa but the natives must be associated with it.

Ihuomadinihu:
You are not being coherent. Indians used to tie wrapper,does it make it unafrican. Indian clothes evolved from tying wrapper,so that is invalid. I juxtaposed the wrapper with the hat. Both were used in Nigeria. Both designs are African,eventhough they are currently imported.
You don't have to go back to insults. You truly have a penchant for being verbally aggressive even when you are wrong and unreasonable?

Phut:
Stop fibbing and tell us what your traditional attire is or which one you identify with.

A black man with no traditional attire, no ethnic identity and who chooses not to identify with any ethnic group will not give a rats arse about what is African or Unafrican, which is what you have been all about on this thread.
Also, most people do not wear Changi with a cuff link. Most times, the sleeve falls some where between the elbow and wrist and is loose. But some of our traditional attires are sometimes worn with "cover" shoes not sandals. Does that make what their ensemble Unafrican?
You know what, lemme back up a bit. Are sandals with buckles, African? Did we have/make buckles back then or did we just wear slippers?
