Ihuomadinihu:
You asked a question and submitted the answers!
Then what exactly was your discrepancy about the Igbo attire in the picture?

But did I say anything about Ibo attire in my post? I mentioned shirt/t-shirt/blazer/suit. The Somali groom is wearing a t-shirt. The Ethiopian groom has shirt and suit on. And Ugandan is wearing a blazer.

So how you know I was talking about ibo?

Ihuomadinihu:
You asked if shirts is originally igbo. I gave you an answer right? You asked about other European wears and i said it doesn't concern me snice it's not part of Igbo traditional attire. What else do you need? Your combulated sentences and words means nothing to me,neither is a testament of intellect on this thread. Snice you want to throw words around,you can go on.
As far as am concerned your sense of understanding and comprehension is too childish and poor. You should think twice before making references to things you have no knowlegde of.
Get a grip on yourself,your aggressive manner of using foul words during conversations reeks of mental instability.

Back to where you left off in your last reply. I asked you if shirts are of African origin and you replied by implying that the Yoruba also walk nak3d and you have pictures. How is that an answer to my question?

I never even said anything about Ibo but you forced it on me.

Also, I don't think I have suggested anything about my intellect on the thread. And I haven't said anything about being a wordsmith, why are you shifting to that? Are you also insecure about how/what I write?

Ihuomadinihu:
What makes an attire African? You can start from there. What makes an attire Indian or Asian? Let's have your answers.:/. Define African attire?

Attractive to me has to be of African origin exclusively even if the fabric is borrowed and it has to be something I can wear.

Ihuomadinihu:
You throw words around like a child,honestly. These words 'mentally unstable,insecurity, prejudice,dementia are uncalled for a simple arguement and discussion. That shows your level of maturity and intellect. Using these words randomly does not strenghten nor validate your comments and opinion.
As for igbo and shirts,i already explained it. In the marriage setting,it is part of the attire. During dances and other rituals,men can go without any shirts. I don't see how you are an authority on what is African and what is not African.
I corrected something that has been entrenched deep inside the brains of Nigeria. There is a difference between igbo and ibo,not just in spelling but in pronouciation. Igbo people have already corrected that and what to be addressed as Igbo not ibo. How does it equate insecurity? Do you address yourself based on what people erroneously call you or how you want to be addressed?
You think Ibo sounds better cos Europeans say so? Well then Yurba,Yoloba and Yoro-ba sounds better as well.
You are the demented soul here. Only kids will call people naked when they no nothing about those people.

Ha! It seems your problems are worse than I initially thought. Every time you throw subtle snide attacks with accusations and I assert the prognosis of the symptoms you are exhibiting, you always come back with more accusations. Seriously, are you alright mentally? You honestly don't sound like you are and you might need medical help before it becomes acute.

I don't have time for a macabre dance with you. Just stay on the topic and answer the simple questions I asked you coherently like a sane mind would have done, without jumping all over the place, saying a lot, without actually saying anything.

You have been spelling. 'Yoruba' as 'Yor0ba' on this thread but has any Yoruba poster questioned you? However/whichever (which you have been doing on this thread) way you want to spell 'Yoruba' is none of my business if those affected don't have a problem with it. So why are you insecure about my use of 'ibo'(which is more appropriate)?

Fix up, you are acting like a broken record.

adeitoro:
why ar you denying your tribe yoloba man
stop lieing, omo yoloba.

I neither affirmed nor denied anything, ndi ara. Keep guessing.

Ewu ebola.

Ihuomadinihu:
Igbos have never claimed the manufactured shirts originally,so that suggestion comes from you. What i pointed out was your shady remarks that Igbos were running alone naked and now claming to produce shirts. My responds was that Igbo attire is very African eventhough they borrowed the european shirt,so you can take or leave it.

I don't know if you have amnesia or dementia (I doubt it's dementia because you still sound relatively young), however, I'll post the excerpt from your post that I responded to. You said: "Igbo is 100 percent African https://www.nairaland.com/2302279/10-beautiful-african-traditional-wedding/3#33572896 " and that's in relation to the attire, not the ethnicity.

Perhaps I shouldn't have suggested the time Ibos never had a shirt on by implying nak3dness, to draw a parallel between when people have been wearing shirts, in relation to when Ibos started wearing them, just to show it isn't African. However, that doesn't negate my point since that's what you're trying to debase the discourse to, while shifting from the main argument.

So let get back to the basics: is shirt/blazer/suit/t-shirt African?

As for Igbo and Ibo, official documents,newspapers,Embassies,Waec, passports,Cerificates etc don't recognise ibo. Igbo is the only official name for Igbo people,anyother spelling is a misnomer and outlawed.

Well, I'm not speaking in an 'official'/'formal' capacity here and I believe I've a right to spell it however I want to since 'Ibo' was widely used before the modern creation 'Igbo' became the official word. And the Nigerian constitution recognises 'Ibo' not 'Igbo'.

I reiterate: if people don't have a problem Afrika/Kongo/Bini, why are you different? And what are you insecure about?

Chinua Achebe wrote some of his books before their was an authorized and standard Igbo otorgraphy and alphabet. I don't think i need to stress myself by explaining that Ibo was the incapacity of pronoucing Igbo correctly.

Okay, based on your logic and your argument on this thread: Achebe was Yoruba when he used 'Ibo' and Ibo when he used 'Igbo' in his books, yes?

I'd wager that 'Ibo' looks appealing than 'Igbo' since an English/American/Australian/Canadian would find it difficult to enunciate the use of two consonants 'g' and 'b' together.

Ihuomadinihu:
You are just one of those people that quote because they have no other alternative.

I didn't quote you, you quoted me with hateful/needless profiling; and I responded.

It seems you're losing it mentally, and you might need to book yourself into a mental home. This is what happens when people become inherently prejudiced/insecure, chasing shadow, when no one is chasing them. Are you sure you're not scared of your own shadow as well?

Igbo might be a recent creation to you,that doesn't mean that ibo is right. Ibo is a creation of those that can't prononce igbo correctly. It is against the phonlogical and linguistic rules of Igbo language. We now have a standard Otography which contains /gb/, it is better you respect that and write it correctly. What prejudice? Everyone on Nairaland,know that yoruba write ibo instead of spelling it correctly. You are only engaging in inteferance.

Is the Nigerian constitution a Yoruba constitution? I remember vividly that Chinua Achebe used 'Ibo' in all his books; does that also make him Yoruba? And are Yoruba the only ones who use 'Ibo' loosely? You don't even know if I'm Yoruba or not, but because you're insecure, I've to be Yoruba. Why are you trying to force Yoruba on me?

No, it has always been Ibo/Ebo...the use of 'Igbo' is a recent creation. It's just like Kongo/Afrika/Bini and Congo/Africa/Benin. While the former are as old as when they were named, the latter are recent creation. And the onus is on whoever is using the words in whatever context to pick and choose what's suitable for him/her; you can't force it. I don't see people from Benin complain about the use of 'Bini' loosely sometimes, why are you different? What are you insecure about?

Secondly,if you go back to my earlier comments,i limited my views on only IGBO ClOTHING. You are the one extending it to other attires,so you might want to respond to your questions. Your description and references is too far from what on my subject matter.

I'm not interested in what(not) you limited your views to. I posted an observation about more than on attire without singling out anyone. So why are you so pained about it?

You made mention of Igbos running around naked ,apparently you felt they were the only ones walking naked at that time. Obviously unclothedness is something to make fun of according to you.

No, the premise in which I implied that, was as a response to what you said. You and I know that shirts aren't African by any stretch of even the most deluded mind's imagination. So why say it's part of your traditional attire?

More so, I never made fun of 'unclothedness', you're the one twisting my observation, while making a mountain out of a molehill due to your insecurities.

In as much as I'm not really a big fan of the stereotypical character Tyrese plays on the movie(s)/series (memories of blaxploitation days), I'd say the new one is decent.

Definitely going to miss Paul Walker.

Ihuomadinihu:
Yes,i wrote Yoruba because they are notoriously known for writing Ibo instead of Igbo. If you are not Yoruba,then that's for you.

Isn't this profiling? Once again, you're showing inherent prejudice/insecurity about the Yoruba. If a white person were to profile you this way, how would you feel? More so, isn't 'Ibo' what is in the Nigerian constitution and all other scholastic sources about an African tribe in lower Niger region of present day Nigeria?

I don't get involved in empty political correctness induced by trying to mask one's insecurities. Keep me out of it.'Igbo' is a recent creation.

Like i said,everyone has infused Western attire into their clothes. Even the one's tying wrapper wear boxers or trouser for decency. I have seen unclad people of all Nigerian cultures. Contrary to your assumptions, unclothedness depicts Maturity and decency before the white man came to Africa,but of course ,every culture is different. I can't remember any World culture that wasn't naked or half naked before they felt like adopting clothes.

You can't base your assumptions on a few picture cos they serve a purpose for white men and his supposed superiority over native Africans. unclothedness doesn't mean underdevelopment or unexistence of clothes. Isn't it ironical,that the people that called Africans primitive, and taught us that unclothedness is not good; are now descending into another level of primitiveness, by walking naked up and down the streets?

Conflating two different issues, while obfuscating the tangent of discourse shows you have something in there you're trying too hard to mask. The thread is about 'African traditional clothes' and I believe I've a right to question the 'African-ness' in all the western clothes presented as being African. People walking nak3d is off-point. The question is: are those clothes African or not?

Besides,the igbo guy is not wearing a suit,a tie or a blazer. Your description is very wide and hasty.

I can't remember implying anything about the Ibo guy. If my memory hasn't gone blank, I remember listing all the western clothes among the pictures posted, without singling out anyone. Why the insecurity?

Ihuomadinihu:
I have seen stark naked Yorubas,it's all over the net.

You don't even know my ethnicity and I basically posted on what I saw on the thread, and my critique's based on what was on thread. So why bring Yoruba into it? Are you scared of Yoruba or it's inherent that you have to measure everything with them for/as-a relevance/standard? Which one?

I can see shirt, t-shirt, blazer, and suit. Are all these traditional African clothes?

Ihuomadinihu:
Igbo is 100 percent African. Fashion evolves,it is not static. Even what we call indian and Islamic clothing evolved over the years. Men were tying loin clothes before they could spurn/ weave cotton and before the discovered silk worm.
The authencity is all about making it your own,so that where ever you see it in the world,you will easily identify it.
We should be more concerned on who is producing the materials.

Hahahaha!

The same Iboswho were running around in alaibo less than 100 years ago almost stark nak3d invented shirts, huh?

Half of the content and the title bear no semblance.

Interesting but it lacks substance.

BTW, I expect Umu-ibo to create a counter thread soon, to keep the competition and envy alive.

Those Armata tanks though. Lighter than any western tank and light years ahead of any western tank inventory, in terms of technology. The most advanced out there. That's the standard everyone must reach now. Also, Armata isn't just tank - it's a platform that can facilitate five different variations of military vehicle.

The highlight of the parade has to be the Chinese army also marching side by side with the Russians. Scary.

milychocs:
Lol

Don't laugh.

I think I like a lot of milk in my chocolate. How about you?

Apart from Ghana, Ivory Coast, and Zulu; the rest aren't 100% African.

When did shirts, T-shirt, and suit become African clothes?

Mostly unattractive.

milychocs:
Oh okay
Forgive me for butting in wrongly
I am sorry
Cheers

Do you really have milky chocs?

Pride of the SW?

That will be the end of Labour.

I doubt they will win 100 seats with Chuka as leader.

Ha!

You want them to eat the person alive.

Can a Calabar man contest an election in Abia? Try that and Ngwas will start acting beastly again, eating every human flesh they can lay their hands on.

The thread was opened by an ibo impostor.

Nchara, the ibo orangutan, did they ask you to create the thread?

dude played one friendly match for the 3 lions and they're calling him soccer Legend.... SMH

Once you score more 100 goals in English top flight football, you are a legend. And Fash did.

He was also the face of the notorious Wimbledon FC team of the 90s; the crazy gang. He earned the name 'Fash the bash' on that team. A smooth operator and the ladies' man, he had it all.
