What i find incredible is that if something like the agbada is shared between arabs and the yoruba then the igbos will just assume it was created by the arabs, very soon they will assume our legs were created by the arabs. Such a "black" inferiority complex can not serve the yoruba and certainly can not serve the igbos. The igbos never were a people, the igbos used to be a collection of seperate villages which were completely independent and never saw themselfs as one people. And in fact the igbos were actually settlers who came from various parts of Africa, including yorubaland and haussaland (before the haussa became mohamedans), The word Igbo is a Benin word meaning bush people. By the way, there were also many igbo tribes/villages/kingdoms which were entirely populated of bini people. So actually the igbos are just like the americans, they come from everywhere in Africa (including ethiopia, egypt, etc, ), although they intermarried (by force or not : I doon't know) and therefor developped commonalities, and exchanged a lot with each other which led to a commun language. Now back to the topic, the agba was created by the yorubas who introduced it to the haussa (before islam) who introduced it to touaregs who introduced it to arabs. Arabs have never been "great creators" they have always been the type that would copy rather than invent ( e.g: islam is just christianity modified for war purposes, arabic is just Aramaic modified a little bit, all their science was stolen from the greek, etc, ) Face it the one thing I know for a fact is that the arabs have always been the less productif people on earth, they are too occupied killing each other to create things. So face it Yoruba invented aghbada, but the multicultarism of the igbo makes it also an igbo invention. 1 Like 1 Share |

aljharem3: Jollof rice, as the name indicates originates from the Jolof Empire of Senegal where oryza glaberrima (indigenous African rice) was domesticated. It is still the national dish of Senegal where it is called cebujen. 1 Like |

Twutin:. He isn't. Meanwhile figure out why igbo doesn't have traditional attire and borrows from Yoruba and Edos traditional attires today. History repeats itself. igbos should just behave and dress like the zulus and proudly wear skin instead of culture hopping with a blend of western.
