Is Buba worn all over west Africa? Or quintessentially yoruba?

1Sharon:


Lol. In other words, you're just talking based on your feelings.

1Sharon:


Is this discussion about iro & buba?

Guestlander:


What about Iro ati Buba? Muslims brought that too?

1Sharon:



Sources for yorubas wearing agbada prior to Islam, not Arabs.

NoToPile:
This agbada origin matter again?


Okay Yorubas have made a version of it their traditional wear for a very very long while and northerners wear another version of it shikena



Most of the agbada being sewn nowadays sef no carry weight again, agbada plus buba and sokoto used to be 10 full yards

1Sharon:


Source please? Because most sources prove the opposite


Pre-islam Arabs wore Agbada or what they call Kaftan, because MENA is a deserted and arid climate. They needed to dress that way to protect themselves from the harsh sun and sand. Climate created your culture and influences religion.

You just came here and attempted to do your own razzmatazz.


Why is the cognate of agbada, abaya?

Are yorubas desert dwellers? Have they been Muslims since the beginning of time?

You're just proving the point I made.

It came from foreign Muslims. The same people that brought the religion to yorubas, brought the attire with them.


The same thing with the boubou dress.

Well, we'll wait for details of the scheme but it seems the only chance of repayment would be if the student graduates & becomes gainfully employed.

Me I don tire for the thing I dey see for nairaland.

I keep seeing that igbos hate other tribe, I keep seeing that igbos do not respect their host.... I keep seeing all sort of things.

But I ask again, what have the Igbos done wrong in Nigeria.?

The Igbos are scattered all over Nigeria, but I have never seen or heard where the Igbos fought the local community and take over their land. All the land, houses, and shops that we own, we bought or rented it. We did not demolish anybody's house, we didn't kill and stole their land yet we are been called all sort of names.
There have been too many riots in the past. There have been riots in the north, in South west targeted against one tribe or religion, but I am not sure that there have ever been a riot I the east targeted against the yorubas or the hausas, except for now that UGM and IPOD issue sprang up. Yet they say we hate other tribes.

There have been fighting Several times between the hausa and yorubas in the south west over little issue... Am yet to see any region where there was a fighting between the Igbos and the locals. Yet they said na the igbo dey cause trouble, whilst all we need is just a place to do business.

They said Igbos don't welcome people to their region, but am yet to see where a group of people where chased out from the east for the sole reason that they are not Igbo. A little traveling in the east will reveal to high the high population of hausas residing in the east, despite the issue of UGM, a lot of them are still there. It is not our fault that some people have refused to travel out of their region.

They said we don't give people land. If you have your money, go to the east and look for land, you will see and buy. When we went to other regions, we bought land with our money, no govt agency gave us land free.
So when you get to the east, look for land and buy, then come back and tell us if you were denied the land because you are Igbo.

ManWater:
This is good.
But they can as well call it Scholarship because no student will pay back a loan.

Ahead of tomorrow’s inauguration of the 10th National Assembly, there are strong indications that former Zamfara state governor, Abdul’Aziz Yari may emerge the next Senate President given the support he has received so far from the senators-elect.
Yari will slug it out with former governor of Akwa-Ibom state, Senator Godswill Akpabio who is the preferred candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Speaking in a chat with our correspondent, a former Minister who is also a key part in the leadership tussle of the 10th NASS said over 70 senators-elect out of the 109 members have pledged their support for Yari based on certain factors.

He listed the factors as religion, the need for an independent judiociary, role of outgoing Senate President, Ahmad Lawan and the indifference of the president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu to Akpabio’s senate presidency ambition.

According to him “ APC has 59 senators-elect, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has 36. The Labour Party (LP) has 8. New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and Social Democratic Party (SDP) both have 2 members each while the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and Young Progressives Party (YPP) both have 1 member each”.

“From what is on ground, Yari is the man to beat. The number of votes required to win is 55, as we are speaking today, Yari has about 70 senators-elect with him. Many of the senators are backing Yari because of two main issues”.

“First, those backing him are angry because the presidency and APC leadership are bringing up religion. If you didn’t play up religion in your time during the presidential election and you said religion is not an issue, then it won’t be an issue now”.
“Two, many of the senators-elect want a truly independent legislature which they believe Akpabio cannot provide. They believe Yari has the experience and ability to hold the executive responsible if the need arises.
“For the House of Reps speakership, the APC succeeded in getting Betara to step down because of the influence of the Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila who has been appointed as the Chief of Staff to the president. They were able to strike a deal with Betara which he agreed to. However in the Senate, the incumbent Senate President Ahmad Lawan is backing Yari and he has mobilised many of the senators-elect for him”.
“Also, you can’t underrate the North-West having given you that kind of vote in the presidential election. In fact, the entire North-West is unhappy with the president for not throwing his weight behind Yari”.

“The truth is that Akpabio is not really the candidate the president wanted. Some people, because of their selfish interests just went to sold his candidacy to him, saying because he (Akpabio) stepped down for him during the primaries. That is why the president didn’t really push on the issue of the Senate. Given the kind of political strategist he is and the powers he has now , if President Tinubu really wants Yari to step down, he knows what to do and those he can use to talk to him” the former Minister said.

“I’m Ready To Kneel Down & Beg My Colleagues To Vote The Nation’s Stability” – Shettima Campaigns For Akpabio’s Senate Presidency

Ogene001:

It's now Obi's Lagos, he defeated Tinubu in Lagos

Stoplying:
Anybody who disrespects the Oba of Lagos is definitely not and indigene of Lagos.
By saying "Akiolu" instead of "Oba Akiolu", you revealed yourself to not be an indigene of Lagos, contrary to your nonsensical "agbolo" claim.

Stoplying:

And you made that law because you are Jesus Christ the saviour of mankind? Please stop saying rubbish.

FreedomfromtheT:
Please answer the question.
Who are the indigenes of Lagos?

proeast:


I shouldn't spoon-feed you. Go and check their profiles yourself. Even Deji Adeyanju has stated that Tinubu chose him based on tribalism.

Since 1999, president and CBN has never come from same region. Buhari didn't even try to change it knowing how sensitive it is.

Let's see how far the bigot president-select will go.

You're ignorant do you know it's easier for a business man in Abuja, middle belt states, Southsouth to come to Onitsha to purchase goods than Lagos,many neighboring countries comes to Onitsha markets, one of the markets known as Main Market is the biggest market in West Africa

post=123711677:

Watch and feed your ignorant mind most of you think Nigeria start from Lagos and end in Ondo

proeast:
Nigerians thought Buhari was the most nepotistic ruler to ever to president over this country, but they're going to be shocked. His successor is about to beat his record.

This man once said he doesn't believe in one Nigeria and his actions are already proving it. Everything about him reeks of ethnocentrism. From using tribal phrases to promotion of ethnic sentiments in his region. Now, he has commenced the full yorubanization of Nigeria. He removed Emefiele and replaced him with a yorubaman, not minding that there were more qualified Hausa and Igbo as directors!

Deja Vu right?

Now he has suspended NNPC GMD, Nigerians should also expect another Yoruba man to replace him.

The situation reminds me of a mad man with lighter in a gas station!

FreedomfromtheT:
What is your socalled absurd 'reality?' - that all the Yorubas whose ancestors are from Ondo, Ogun, Osun, Ekiti, Oyo, Kwara and Kogi living in Lagos are Lagos indigenes?
What about the Yorubas from Benin Republic and Togo living in Lagos? Are they indigenous Lagosians too?
