Good morning nairalanders Please join ponder over this. why is our traditional native attir not accepted as corporate dressing in our corporate world here in Nigeria. I think it should be acceptable to wear some specific traditional wear as formal dressing. My argument is this. Everytime you see our leaders and polticians wear traditional wear to events and their work place. From the President to local government chairman. take the recent trips of Mr. President. He wore his traditional dress though with suiting respectable colours (black, dark blue, grey) and he was taken seriously and listened to. so why has corporate Nigeria not accepted our traditional wears. Instead its relegated to the background as Friday casual wear. The Americas and Europe wear suits because its their culture and suit their weather. why can't we elevate ours to that level? If government at all levels were to make compulsory wearing of native attire from Monday to Thursday and Friday for English clothes don't they think it will tremew boost our textile industry? It will create huge demand. why must we follow follow oyibo?

Because mist times it is too loud, busy and scary. That d person wearing it won't even be comfortable to move about freely.







Good morning upcoming commentators...

am surprised at ur description words "loud and scary".

You see the same business men and companies meet with this politicians(senators,reps, ministers) to make deals and get favours and they don't complain about their mode of dressing.

Yes some of the native attire is loud but some still acceptable. we just have to regulate it. Decide as country which is acceptable for the work place.

Yes some are loud n scary and shouldn't be worn to office or any CO operate body expect on ur cultural activity or function. Some re moderate, simple n lovely like d ones d so called politicians that Co wear which some co-operate bodies in nigeria accept their workers to wear one Fridays. U don't accept someone to carry all d beads in d country on his or her neck, hand n leg to come to d office, or wear a big beaded hat or feathers to ur office. So u see some are scary n too loud n should be left for d cultural things... thanks
