Emary:
The tribalism on Nairaland equates with racism. Why can't you guys establish a separate thread extolling the Yorubas or Ijaw instead of derailing this one? You should be ashamed of yourselves, please.

As in eeh the hate is too much

TAO11:
There wasn’t anything called photograph in ancient times. Did you know that?

And where did you get the idea from that Nupe is Yoruba?

I can only imagine how soaked in tears you are right now now.

Since your problem have now been reduced to English disability, I will quote Frobenius’ actual words again, and then dumb down the English for you:

“Leaving out of account for the moment a few particular compounds, altogether exceptional in their character, held by princelings in Nupé, it may, I think, be said that no province in the western half of Africa can show finer lines in its general architecture than Yoruba.”

~ L. Frobenius, “Voice of Africa,” page 153

To dumb down this foregoing BiG gRaMmEr for you, L. Frobenius is saying that:

“Only a few Nupé compounds are magnificent.

If we set aside these few Nupé compounds, only the Yorubas (of all the peoples in the west of Africa) have better architecture than the Nupé.”

Let that sink in for a second, before you let the tears out.

Perhaps ancient structures which survived to the present-day because they were stone-built, rather adobe-built.

You’re clearly a dunce.

The images attached by your brother are buildings photographed in the mid/late-1900s. [See the 1st attachment below].

Does your brain NOT tell you there are no photographs in ancient times?

Does your brain NOT tell you that a structure built of adobe or wood from ancient times can not survive up to the 1900s — to have been captured by photograph?

In fact, you should be ashamed for the Igbo race that those are the best buildings that ndi Igbos can boast of from the mid/late-1900s.

If I show you the best Yoruba structures from the same period as your brother’s best Igbo structures, i.e. from the mid/late 1900s, you will weep for the Igbo race.

Anyways, I will show it to you so you can weep. See attached. (2nd and 3rd attachments).

Cheers!

If not for the fact that you type faster than you think, you would have read what I typed and seen the images I attached.

You would have realized how the mid/late-1900s Igbo structures attached by your brother is a huge disgrace on ndi-Igbo.

Now go back to my attachment and take a look at the mid/late-1900s Yoruba structures and come back here to tell me if you won’t drown in tears for ndi-Igbo.

(1) Show me an image of the ruin of Benin walls, the only wall ruin that I’m aware of in southern Nigeria is the Sungbo’s Eredo in Ijebu land.

Don’t show me a Google image of Sungbo’s Eredo and then claim it is the ruins of Benin walls. But this is by the ways.

(2) Pyramids from ancient times are built of stones. You didn’t know that, or do you?

Also ancient mosques are religious structures some of which are intentionally preserved with over time renovations, rebuilding, etc.

Also, some Europeans today take naked pictures. What does that mean? That the present western society have not yet come fully to the knowledge of cloths. This is a retarded position to hold.

(3) What you call old Igbo pictures (as attached by your brother) are photographs of Igbo structures (built of clay/wood) taken in the mid-late-1900s.

The photographs of Yoruba structures from that same period (i.e. mid-late-1900s) put all the hamlet in your brother’s attachment to full blown and complete shame.

(4) The “wHiTe mAn” travelled through west Africa and came to document his observation.

Oh, or do you mean to say that he is mArGiNaLiZiNg Igbo people?? LMAO!

You are a disgrace.

This proves my point again.

In the mid/late-1900s when those materials were already available, Igbos were still stuck with mud, stick and leaf for shelter.

Mid/late-1900s!! What a shame on the Igbo race!!

Show ancient building im go dey show me recent building.

IF you show me an ancient Igbo building, I will do the same.

You can’t provide me with photographs of best Igbo structures from the 1900s, and then request in the same breath that I provide you with photographs of the best Yoruba structures from the 1800s.

Does that even make sense to you?

What you call ancient Igbo buildings are from photos taken in the mid/late-1900s. (See the first two attachments)

While what you call recent Yoruba buildings are also from photos taken in the mid/late-1900s. (See the last two attachments).

The same period, yet one looks feeble and uninspiring; while the other looks modern and recent.

That’s the whole point I was making. Thanks for making my point.

Oh I don forget Yoruba's invented zinc roof before kahl friedrich schincel. Hahahaha

No, we didn’t invent zinc. I was embarrassing you with the gap between Yoruba and Igbos during the same period.

Your best Igbo structures (attached by your brother) were from the 1900s.

I also attached our Yoruba structures also from the 1900s (the same period) just to highlight the gap.

If you request photograph of best Yoruba structures from the 1800s, then you must provide photographs of best Igbo structures also from the 1800s.

You can’t provide Igbo-1900s, and expect Yoruba-1800s for comparison.

To request such double standard is to be admitting already that the Yorubas are superior to your people.

TAO11:
(1) Binis more civilized than the Yorubas abi what did I just read? Lol.

You finally gave yourself away as a stark ignoramus. I empathize with you.

Anyways, I’d indulge you that you should help your own empty claim by naming one thing in which Bini was “mOrE CiViLiZeD” than Yorubas (or even remotely close to the Yorubas in civilization).

For each aspect of “civilization” you name (and prove) supposedly in favour of Binis over Yorubas, I would reply you with education — free of charge.

(2) Listen, there is a huge and massive difference between the following two things:

(A) A group of people among whom some chose to sometimes go about unclad despite living in a society which has come to the discovery of clothing, or widespread use of clothing.

(B) A group of people who have not yet evolved to the point of wearing clothes at all, or wearing it on a normal widespread scale.

The first instance here relates to the ancient Indian & ancient Egyptian examples you all cited.

The second instance here relates to the classical Igbo & classical Benin examples — at a period of time when their Yoruba counterparts have long evolved to the point of having come up with textile and clothing.


—————-
In fact, one of the images attached by one of your own earlier on this thread shows a clothed person amidst the unclothed ladies. [See attached]

In sum, the knowledge of clothing is a classical index of civilization no matter how uncomfortable your unclothed history makes you feel. Get a grip.

In fact, we will still come to the use of other clothing forms in the future in the course of our evolution.

The discussion here is about agbada. So, provide me with the substantive historical evidence (not blog post) to substantiate your own claim here.

I like historical evidence, rather than mere words.

So if Yoruba's were among the earliest civilization back then and if they wore dresses after the 700,1000 years that means they evolved lately and copied agbada and other form of dressing from thier neighbours.Simple

Yorubas copied agbada because they didn’t wear agbada 1,000 years ago.

What kind of reasoning is this? Wait, how old are you you? LMAO!

No! A civilization may evolve more complex forms of clothing at different stages of their cultural evolution.

In any case, the falsehood I’m debunking in this regard is that, the Yorubas borrowed this clothing from the Hausas.

The Yorubas and Hausa came to the use of agbada independent of one another.

Yeah one thousand years ago, we tied wrappers (and evolved other styles later in the course of time).

(1) Thermoluminescence test dates that image to circa 700 — 1000 years ago.

In other words, the Yoruba have an understanding of clothing many, many centuries ago; while their Igbo counterparts were still swinging n@ked from tree to tree in as recent as 200 years ago.

(2) Agbada usage in Yorubaland didn’t date to circa 700 — 1000 years ago, and I can’t remember any Yoruba saying that.

My point have consistently been that (and I challenge you to show where I said otherwise) that the Yorubas’ agbada usage must have been at some later period in the course of our cultural evolution. I also maintain that it wasn’t borrowed from the Hausas, contrary to your brother’s false, unsubstantiated claim.
