Ihuomadinihu: Even Aro cannot account for Igbo land? Whewwwww! Your city must be extremely important in Igboland. In that case, no amount of vituperation here can ease your hold on your treasured cultural originality and absolute disdain of any form of intrusion even from neighbouring groups! |

melzabull: Put words in her mouth Words are very strong you know. People have put alot words in my mouth and you didnt see that. You only saw the one where a stranger who "threatened" your pristine cultural integrity tried to put words in your sister's mouth.! It is well!!!!!! |

liberty300: The first is hausa, even judging by the style of the turbans, the second is fulani. And maybe it was recently modded. The first dressing is shared by hausas kanuris and fulanis. |

fratermathy:If someone starts up something that looks like yours,does it mean he copied you? Infact Edo artifacts were made by Igbos. It's a know fact that Igbos were hired by Edo to make artifacts for them. Quit spewing rubbish. 4 Likes 1 Share |

fratermathy: Do you also agree that Benin borrowed some Igbo words and other things also So if NRI is older than Benin it is bound that Benin must have looked up to NRI for inspiration Do you know that many western Igbo are of NRI such as ogwa ashi ukwu and Igbo bi na uzor they call igbuzor ? 3 Likes |

fratermathy:I want you to understand how things are done in Igboland. The Eze of Aro is on his own in Abia state. The Eze of Nri is equally in Nri with his people. None can impose any authority on the other,unlike what is obtained in Edoland. You are too damn ignorant. 3 Likes |

Ihuomadinihu: "Rubbish". Igbos being technocratic and handy has no bearing in Edo's cultural hegemony. You keep bringing up points to prove my initial premise. The fact that Igbos were "borrowed" by the Edos to do their beads and artifacts even give more credence to the idea that there Masons, carpenters and craftsmen took home what they have learned about Edo culture. This is a hypothesis. I'd write a scholarly article on this theory. Thanks for the pointers. This argument has been purposeful so far even though it was started on a faulty counter-premise. |

tonychristopher: Ha Benin has a connection with Guinea too but I won't get into that. And yes, I'm aware that Igbo has connections that extend past Nigeria in places like Equatorial Guinea and Sierra Leone, I'm not disputing that. Also, by me stating that certain areas have some Edo influence doesn't mean that I'm trying to colonize them. |

melzabull: Correct impressions!!! That Igbos were not influenced by Edos in any way? There is nothing to be corrected there and hence my affirmative and retaliatory actions. If I made an error and it was rightly pointed out, I would have bowed and acknowledged it. I did so in some of my earlier posts concerning the Nupe people. This is a case I wont let go because the Igbo communities I know in Delta, Anambra and Enugu have systems "akin" and not necessarily copied from the Edo system. If I say Anioma, Orlu, Oguta, Mbiase and other pockets of Igboid groups share some Monarchical and fashion-based similarities with Edo, their neighbour, then you have to counter-prove this with facts. |
Re: Some Nigerian Ethnic Groups And Their Dressing Styles (pictures) by fratermathy(m): 11:38pm On Oct 03, 2015 |
tonychristopher: I have answered your questions. Screw up or check your mentions. Igbos being more artistic or intelligent or what have we, have no bearing in their potentiality of being culturally hegemonised. |

Ihuomadinihu: So now you point is that Igbos produced beads right? Maybe you dont know that the first bead import to the shores of Nigeria was at the behest of a Benin Oba. I wont even argue on that because it relegate my intellectual acuity. I have nothing against the Igbos. Heck, I am half Igbo. I also have no aversion to the Edos. I am not even one. My point is simple, where cultural groups come together, one is usually dominant and its dominance reflects directly or indirectly in the surrounding groups. The Igboid groups I know and can account for were influenced by Edo kingdom. You can continue arguing this for 10 years. I'll stand my ground with even more proof. |

fratermathy:In you op, you gave the impression that Igbo 'borrowed from' or 'modelled after' Benin women in dressing. If you stated they were similar that's understandable and unarguable but you made bit sound like they 'stole' 'copied' from, hence the contest. And yes i agree that some igboid group came into contact with edo with a little influence 2 Likes |

fratermathy: There's no Edo cultural hegemony in Igboland, maybe you could get away with saying that in Agbor but even they would refute that. What you have are influences and borrowings. Your comments about Eze or 'Igwe' titles negating 'republicanism' is wrong, and even with the borrowed Edo-ish warrant chief hamlet kingdoms, you'd still be wrong with that assertion. 2 Likes |

Re: Some Nigerian Ethnic Groups And Their Dressing Styles (pictures) by Ihuomadinihu: 11:45pm On Oct 03, 2015 |
fratermathy:If i say Edo women also copied Igbo dressing,how does it sound? My friend,these were one people that we can't even trace their origin or history. It is only plausible they share same customs and way of life. But to say that everything about Igbo was copied from Edo is a dumb overstatement. Stay in your lane! 1 Like |
