@OP
I thought you would have said Itsekiri is a closer group to Yoruba than others.

The closeness of Itsekiri does not interfere with the mixture of culture and cultural[i] adopt[/i]ation of Yorubas by other regions.
PS: I'd say Binis are closer than Itsekiris.

Uyi Iredia:

What of Edikang Ikong ?

Never heard of it.

Aigbofa:

Well, prove to me first that it was not, and while you are it, also tell me how Iro and buba came about. Most likely adapted is not good enough for me.

I provided you links its up to you to do the research, I believe in charity up to a certain point. I'm talking about Agbadas but if you like you can bring whatever else you think with distract us all from the topic of discussion the Agbada
Like I said ignorance up to a certain point is not a favorable trait my friend

Aigbofa, you sef like wahala Grin
See me thinking I go come back to better arguments, logic here. Grin Grin Disappointed.

Tribalism is not much of an argument with regards to your line of attack.

If you genuinely were trying to create a thread on multiculturalism, you should have instead of trying to be sneaky with your tribalism, which was not that sneaky to begin with if it was spotted on page one Really if you are going to play the tribalism game step it up, if we can all see it a mile away its pretty weak sauce

Crayola1:

Well I posted the links for you to go through, prove me wrong and show that the agbada was wholly a Yoruba invention  

Well you read it so no need to pretend, if it was speaking to you accept it and work towards improving on your shortcomings. Being ignorant and not knowing you are  ignorant is a sad thing, being ignorant and knowing you are ignorant is shameful.

shirts are known worldwide, it didn't start from germany but fitted shirts are. If it doesn't originate from germany, it doesnt mean germans don't invent the fitted shirts. Now, agbada is different from whatever might have came from the arabs. Agbada is totally redefined, so is caftan, gbariye and so on so shut it!

More refined and sophisticated tah the Arab's and Hausa's. We refine them esp for our "Owambe"

But truthfully, what you see being worn by SE'rn Igbos are the Yoruba's refined agbada, coupled with the hat. You dont see them wearing the hausa hats either


We should be celebration this bridge of gap.

If I buy a pair of jeans and bedazzle them with jewels did I create a new outfit or modified it? That's exactly what the agbada is a modification.
Your analogy doesn't even make sense, if fitted shirts are from Germany and i decide to put an additional pocket on the shirt its still a fitted shirt that originated from Germany, I just modified it Lord some of you are slow.
Someone just showed pictures of Arab outfits which are dead ringers for their Agbada counterpart, so how different are they
I think you should shut it, I bet you thought you were going to make a profound point and ended up looking silly. Next

The is nothing like a refined yoruba attire with the igbo>get it right omo. In fact maybe you can show up a comparison and stop living in an owambe.

If you say so, ignorance on your part is bliss I guess
I can't wait to hear what else is next lol this thread was trash from beginning, and by design unfortunately,  Well done OP I applaud your efforts to tribalise even the most insignificant of things

The ignorance is on your part.
While you're screaming tribalism, you're sadly displaying it.
Unfortunately for you and those who wish to see tribalism in everything, this thread still goes on.

Chyz*:

Your word is not gold.
Then I guess there's nothing about a refined Igbo attire?
Ignoramus

I guess we're done here till the next one comes with his arab/Islam story.

Ileke-IdI:

Never heard of it.

Are you serious ? You should try it. It's quite popular.

My next thread will be on the geles

Did the flamboyant geles start with Yorubas and how did it spread? I've always wondered about that.

And how is that by saying that ultimately the Agbada and its derivatives are Arab attire lol wow what a stretch
Even though you started this thread calling out Yoruba and Igbo, if this was actually to be a multiculturalism thread, shouldn't it have said Nigerians only?
Or that you followed me into the Igbo name thread and had the boldness to say Arinze is a Yoruba name
Or the fact you have gone in every non Yoruba thread saying "Yoruba influence"
I can continue with this list if you like

Wow am I surprised that the best you could come up with is "You are too" prove it then, show my tribalistic tendencies in this thread or any other thread, I do await for the proof of this one, I got to see this. Because then we'll really see a real Houdini trick today

Well actually you started the tribalism you we all await for you to continue with it

Lol

Yea, in the SS/SE

Anyway in my humble opinion a thread that is purposefully made with poor intentions should just receive the same treatment

Ileke-IdI:

Chyz*:

What you people have his called modifications to sahel clothing. Even the peter pan cap that you all wear sometimes are modification to european hats that the esquires use to wear(I'm not talking about the hat that looks like a burray that leans to the side either).

it is funny and ironic that you mentioned peter pan becos i was in an Igbo party when one African American asked why these guys are wearing santa clause cap. . that red cap igbos wear wey one ball dey dangle for side.

Ileke-IdI:

Chillax, calm down your ranting.

Resort to insults like Chyz plz, because this your feminine display sef get as e be
