I am probably a fool but how and when did cloth and plastic feature as African? I'm on the Southern side of Afrique but i still don't see fabrics being a part of our
cultures until the redman's invasion. So everytime we point out to plastic and fabrics we accepting an edited black history. Am I wrong?

For West Africa, you are wrong.
Maybe for Southern/Eastern/Central Africa, you are be right. Even some groups in West Africa here.

Fabrics have been here for well over a thousand years. There has been some changes in style and fashion, no doubt, but the whole point of culture is that it is dynamic.

O boy.. Am I the only one seeing that! Those Djibouti girls are so... fine!

But honestly, based on what am seeing here, I think Nigerian traditional outfits are some of the finest.

If you see a slime Igbo, benin or benin lady rocking a peplon style in Ankara or lace

The fulanis' outfit too can be really gorgeous...

I love cultural diversity, hoping to see them first hand
Nice work Op

the South African cap looks lovely and creative to me every time.
I still believe the cap is some how tied to Egyptian tradition

Very beautiful

Who remembers the days we used to play games like suwe, police and thief, fire on the mountain, ten ten and ayo.

Now with the advent of technology we can play some of these games online.

Did you know there is a version of the ayo game online.

It is called Awale Online and it is a strategy game among the Mancala family of board games played in West Africa
and worldwide. The goal of the game is to capture more seeds than one's opponent.

It is a digital version of the Ayo and played on a rectangular carved board by two players with 12 round pits, 6 on each side
and 48 seeds.
