Igbo culture way of dressing is always a copie of other tribal form of dressing. Igbo women tie gele like Yoruba women .

khenykhey:
The igbos are the ugliest Like if you agree

AreaFada2:
OP. Good try but you need a bit of lesson in history and anthropology.

The Urhobo and Isoko groups are integral part of the Edoid Nation. Branches of a common family tree. Much like the Okuns are a Yoruboid branch.

To buttress my point, the current Iyase or traditional prime minister of Benin Kingdom is Urhobo. He is the second most powerful figure after the Oba of Benin.

We need to keep highlighting what unite than divide us. Clearly, the Urhobo and Isoko attire is one of the unique and colourful in 9ja.

fratermathy:


I wrote in my post that Urhobo/Isoko are from Edo. That said, it should be noted that Edo and Urhobo are not mutually intelligible despite the seeming similarities. Both tribes are not too culturally compatible. For instance, some taboos in Benin are not taboos in Urhobo land and vice versa. Urhobos are Edoid, that is correct but they are not a dialect of Edo so that Okun-Yoruba analogy doesn't hold waters. If at all, it is more like the Yoruba-Itsekiri or Yoruba-Igala analogy that will suffice in this instance.

ezeagu:

Correct. Well, mostly, there were a few kingdoms but the heads were mainly priests, but all those Eze you see today in Abia and Imo are imported traditions (except Eze Aro).

rawpadgin:
None

PreciousBro:


Please i would like you to shed more light on that statement as from what i understand, if at all the benin/edo has any hegemony/influence over and on igbos,it will be igbos from the western and northern axis of igboland (Asaba,Anambra,Enugu) evidently by their proximity hence their similarity. igbos from the southern axis which is constituents of Imo,Abia and maybe Rivers,are mostly Aro' influenced .
