htajz:
you for make sense except that yorubas have no dress for other to adopt , you still wear agbada you got from northerners.

There was no clear cut demarcation per se between yoruba and northerners prior to the fulani jihad,so its incorrect to say yorubas got agbadas from the north.

besides, yoruba traditionalists have their own form of clothing which looks like an agbada, so the northerners might as well have held on to the agbada style they got from yoruba.

nnamdi azikwe was the most famous igbo man of his time to wear agbada, i think.

and i believe it was to show his multiculturalism and national nature- someone correct me if i'm wrong.

i think the main point of the thread is if you're adopting yoruba dressing, then you have to stop hating on yorubas.

that's it in a nutshell.

btw can anyone explain what ofala ceremony is.

when did it start, where is it practiced, etc.

are the people featured in those photos of yoruba descent?

Let's stop derailing the thread plz.

not sure why coogar is ripping his pantaloons over the subject.

wbb.

liberian men:

seem playful though i'm not sure.

.

tunisian:

mostly laidback but i'm not sure since i havent met too many of them.

.

let's try to ignore all thread derailers.

true, yansh dey pepper them but that's too bad.

list the qualities you find attractive in non-yoruba and non-nigerian men.

you guys seem to be the most exclusive daters as a whole, second only to hausa women in this area.

so, since somehow you managed to polish your men to the extent that they became hot cakes under your excellent tutelage [not all of them but let's just generalize for the purpose of this thread], let's think outside the box for a change and look at non-yoruba/non-nigerian men.

so, list qualities [NOT FEATURES ONLY PLZ]  which you find attractive in men of other ethnicities and races, and which would make you consider them relationship/marriageable material.

you can list either by nationality, ethnicity, race, tribe, etc. Doesnt mean you have to date them o- its just an exercise.

no thread derailing or hating, thanks.

and the local efulefus in general shouldnt think the thread is about them? The topic is discussing serious fellows only.

mods can move thread to wherever they like- not sure where to place it.

also, might change the thread title too if i find something more suitable

You were more likely to see that on an South Eastern or South south person in the 80's with George material. Nowadays everyone wears george, lace, aso-oke etc. Only that we don't sew it in the stereotypical style of double wrapper, lace top and puffy sleeves.
The only thing Yoruba can claim is aso oke and adire.

the double wrapper is tied in central africa as well as southeastern/southsouthern nigeria.

there's stronger central african influence in those areas [through the midwest as well], hence the shared attire.

the central african influence in the southwest isnt as strong.

Here is the paper one you were talking about. Acutally made from synethic material such as Nylon

do you see your life?

have you never heard of damask before- if not then thank me for educating you.

al harem

^^just stay out of issues that dont concern you- is that too much to ask.

if you must put mouth in things that are none of your business, then learn to speak respectfully and not like an ego addled ignoramus.

got it now?

and is there a particular reason why an old man like you cant discuss your native kanuri affairs but must ever stumble all over other people's own?

I was trying to explain how clothing happened

and you are?

how can you explain what you're ignorant about?

typical nl!!!

It seems there's a town called akassa in one of these areas that was actually founded by the portugues and which contains a portuguese gravestone, if the source i read was correct.

the source might have been referring to an akassa in the south south i suppose.


the ijaws might have traded slaves with the portuguese before the arrival of the british maybe?

is anyone on nl from that area and is there really a centuries old portuguese gravestone there.

i thought you're very strict and religious.

you mean you're not?
