cheesy

What the man and the woman is wearing is an ORIGINAL not an IMITATION of our colonial Masters. Any tribe you see that pride themselves in any attire that is ORIGINALLY an attire of the whites as their own TRADITIONAL ATTIRE grin. Just know that such a tribe belongs to the list Lord Luggard said they met running around the bushes with leaves tied around their waist to cover their genitals. grin Hahahaha....

Are you talking about the Yoruba's Aso-Oke that originated since 1400 CE?

Its pretty much the same as today's Aso-Oke with some minor differences though it looks nothing like the "white mans" attire if thats what you mean? The first photo is from the 19th century pre-colonialism and the other from 1910. Here is a modern comparison of Aso-Oke.

Also, European colonizers would lie, exaggerate, and overgeneralize all the time when it came to things in relation to Africa.
