@regularJay22 Lmao faa knock you. Wear your isi agu or whatever it’s called with pride
English
So you have nothing then, just waffle? 😂
Let me spell it out again so you don’t ever forget. There’s a reason we were an empire and you weren’t. Levels to this 🤫
And quit stealing our attires too
star⭐@Starqueensly
You must be confusing Benin 🇧🇯 republic with bini city that produces nothing but scraps that do not leave your palace. You do not have a textile industry today madam. Only an ignoramus asks for art evidence in the face of scientific evidence. Class dismissed.

@Hhonor_ Guy DO NOT TAUNT INDIGENES OF A FOREIGN COUTRY WHiCH YOU ARE A VISITOR IN. Where is your emotional intelligence? Please delete. You are playing with fire?!!!

There are more Nigerians in Capetown than south Africans

@Stevie949 @Tves500 @ifeora90 Which Edo attire are Igbos claiming? The various insignias that Igbos use for titled men such as Okike tusks, Nza flywhisk hilt, Aka glass beads, Ozo staff , fan holder were all found in the burial chamber of Nri Ifikuanim at Ogbo Ukwu dated between 9th to 11th century.
English
@regularJay22 @Tves500 @ifeora90 Shut up there,u bloated ndi pig. Ur own nr pass "let them show u,let them show u".
The Edo attire u people are claiming as urs,can you provide any verifiable evidence from the "14th–15th" century whether from ur bronze works or documented records to show it really us? Can u??
English
Some of these idiots will come online to display their emptiness and foolishness.
I will like this idiot to show other tribes ancestors wearing this before 1960s.
Oghosa@Tves500
@simphiwedana @IamproudofBrii1 None are ibos cultural attire. They are all borrowed from other tribes in Nigeria. The Iboes lack originality and uniqueness. They are cultural thieves and drug pushers. x.com/treazyblaq/sta…
English
@Stevie949 @Tves500 @ifeora90 Look at this wild animal. E say “Igala adorned wears”. Show me one pre 1914 inage of Igala chiefs with ivory and flywhisks or holding the Ngwu Ozo staff.
Should we place a bet?
English
@regularJay22 @Tves500 @ifeora90 All I see are igala adorned wears here... TF...u Igbons are cultural thieves menh. Kai
English
@nogazorekano Which Benin or Ika is in any of my pictures? All the images there are hinterland East Niger Igbo women from Nsukka to Aguleri to Nri Anambra.
Now show me historic pictures of Benin women in heavy ivory bracelets and anklets.
English
@regularJay22 Fool they have, you just so stupid to accept the truth! Even the picture you claiming have Benin in It..Ika, anioma 😁😜🤪
English
Again i’m waiting for you to show me historical images of Benin/Igala/Yoruba women in ivory bracelets and leglets, as Igbo women have historically adorned themselves with belonging to Otu Odu/Ndi Enyi guild of ivory wearers.
Oghosa@Tves500
@ifeora90 U ibos are naturally born thieves,so it's no surprise u steal from Edo, Igala, yoruba and even the hausa's sef. This here is indigenous and core Ibo attire, embrace ur true culture and identity. Haba😀 x.com/Akaiyiti/statu…
English
@BusuyiOrisWorks If Eri is Igala why is there no linguustic and cultural continuity between Igala and Igbo Nri? Where is the archaeological evidence from Idah that predates Igbo Ukwu of 9th to 11th century? Why have actual anthropologists like Prof Toyin Falola confirmed Nri predates Igala?
English
...of origin.
4. Here's the irony: Eri is not Ibo. He is actually Igala. The ancestor they claim is not even one of their own. They literally borrowed an ancestor, but that's not surprising.
5. I wish them all the best.
English
I have been seeing this "Odùduwà fell from the sky" trope, and here is my response:
1. The Ibo people don't have an origin story, and that's because they didn't evolve to the point of creating one. They never had a center that everyone revolved around. How do you create...
English
@IamproudofBrii1 And show me textiles from Benin before 1200AD. Something has to give.
English
@regularJay22 Before amalgamation at least artifacts from 15-17th century
English
Dude no one claim your over big ivory thing he was specifically saying these are your attires not the buluku skirt or gele. lol
Mr Receipts@regularJay22
Again i’m waiting for you to show me historical images of Benin/Igala/Yoruba women in ivory bracelets and leglets, as Igbo women have historically adorned themselves with belonging to Otu Odu/Ndi Enyi guild of ivory wearers.
English
@regularJay22 Gladly now show us an artifact or a plaque if you guys wearing the materials I’m talking about evolution
English
@IamproudofBrii1 Can you show me a pre 1200AD textile woven by Benin?
If a people had exposure to clothmaking, do you not think they would also be predisposed to wearing it in different styles?
link.springer.com/article/10.100…
English
@regularJay22 Ok you can show a plaques artifact. A depicted piece of you guys wearing skirt .
English
@IamproudofBrii1 I never claimed gele however men tying wrappers skirt style in Igboland was not gotten from Benin.
The only influence from Benin on East Igboland attire is from ceremonial use of Ada/Eben by Onitsha /Oguta areas.
English
@regularJay22 No one said we interact and to be honest no one cares. Our point is don’t claim
Other people attire if you don’t have proof before the amalgamation era. That’s all they are saying.
English
@MinorityConquer @Tves500 @la_prettyjane @simphiwedana @IamproudofBrii1 Show me any documented precolonial history of Benin conquering , enslaving or interacting with pre hinterland Igbos EAST of the Niger.
I’m waiting.
English
@regularJay22 @Tves500 @la_prettyjane @simphiwedana @IamproudofBrii1 They conquered you...enough said.
English
Oh baby girl. And this is just my Xhosa people. Imagine if AmaZulu, vhaVenda, etc post their so called‘traditional’ clothes as you’ve done. Stop being silly
Treazy@treazyblaq
Igbo traditional attire goes so hard that when you step out, people automatically assume you’re a king. Na wetin cause the fight oh 😂
English
Then Oghosa, also tell me where Igbos got the Ngwu Agiliga staff for Ozo titled chiefs.
From Ogbuefi Idigo of Aguleri holding it in 1886 to Ozo chiefs holding them in 2025.
Please show us the almighty Benin/Igalas with Ngwu Ozo
Oghosa@Tves500
@ifeora90 Hahaha,all i see are Edo, urohobo and Yoruba influenced attires here. NONE belongs to u iboes. See urs below. U people were found naked in the mid 50s, untill Awolowo gave y'all clothing and a civilization. x.com/Akaiyiti/statu…
English
@ifeora90 U ibos are naturally born thieves,so it's no surprise u steal from Edo, Igala, yoruba and even the hausa's sef.
This here is indigenous and core Ibo attire, embrace ur true culture and identity. Haba😀

Akáìyíti@Akaiyiti
You know what, let's talk about how the whole "classic Igbo attire" today is completely stolen, adapted, and disrespectfully appropriated from indigenous cultures of others You can generationally alter narratives but you've got NOTHING on history. The entire wardrobe of fraud🧵
English
@Tves500 @Starqueensly @simphiwedana @IamproudofBrii1 Igbo enwe eze is a FIGURATIVE expression not literal. The oldest kingship in southern Nigeria is Eze Nri with archaeological evidence to back it up.
The Onitsha throne is rooted in Nri Igbo spirituality with only a few Benin embellishments.
English
@Starqueensly @simphiwedana @IamproudofBrii1 "ibo enwe eze". The ibos have no king,nor can they produce one. All this was going on in ur lands not until we the Benin's gave y'all a king.
And girl,pls get off ur high horse,no one is claiming u here, Tueh,especially how u are busy impersonating Onitsha,just because u want to
