More Yorubas

@ Ileke-IdI

Nobody can argue that the headtie began with the Yorubas and we'll continue to modernize it lol.

who said yorubas started the headtie? just because the popular word for headtie in Nigeria is “Gele” does not mean the yoruba started it.
yorubas should stop claiming ish. just like they wanted to make us believe that they started the "Agbada" whereas they stole that ish from the hausas and fulanis. yorubas didnt start the headtie, finito. other tribes have their names for headtie.

Is it only "gele" that you see. Look at all the contemporary African attires she is claiming yoruba invented. Silly nuthead!

Meyan:

Not a problem, just having a discussion about fashion. And like I said, I see these modern designs across Nigeria and West Africa. So I don’t see how it is peculiar to one tribe or nation for that matter.

Please dear,stop wasting your time on Ileke! Just peruse through her post history and come back....She is a disgusting yoruba tribalist who hates the Igbo with all her might....she claims yoruba invented the EARTH!

as a child, i can remember my mum saying:

'ya rie ukiofon mwen re' meaning 'go and bring my headtie'

there is no usage of the word gele as headtie in edo language. the word gele means true/truth in edo lexicon. ukiofon is the word for headtie in edo and that's what my mum and sisters call it.

so the way i see this gele issue, gele is the adopted pidgin word for headtie..coz outside pidgin english, the word means something else in edo.
