Work hard and be responsible. DEBUNKING THE LIEs AGAINST IGBOS. IGBO ARTIST MANCHESTER UNITED 🦁





Once things die down, Ibos will tell you their own version of Amala and Ewedu is Amalawu and Eqwedu 🤣







The “Chiffon” lie ends today. Yoruba Gele etymology is literally pocket handkerchief. (Frame 1 & 5) Gele is aso inuju(face wiping cloth). My Igbo Ichafu etymology is high-fashion Kerchief / Head-dress / Coiffure.(frame 2&3) From the 1900 European archives: Içafo (Ichafu) comes from the native compound Içi-ọfọ (Gathered-Wrap).(frame 2&3) The French translation in the records is Couvre-chef (Head-cover) and Coiffure (Elaborate Hairstyle). It even lists the synonym Akwaisi, which literally translates to ‘Head-dress’(frame 2&3) Meanwhile, that same record (1900)translates Chiffon as Nkilika-akwa (RAGS) in Igbo. No connection to Ichafo at all. Igbos didn't name our crowns after French rags or piece of light cotton(pocket handkerchief), we named them after the art of the wrap. 💯 indigenous. My etymology is a Coiffure, yours is a pocket handkerchief.

@NigeriaStories They go first start fight.. when hands touch them, they go cry victims. “They hate us so much”. “The hate for us too strong” Dear, you never seen hatred, if you see one you go run. But for now, keep it coming and be strong to take the heat ✌️

I actually understand why white people see Africans as inferior

In case you don't know, Yorùbá Women are allowed to lead and take front role in almost everything, which is why Iyalode is always in every palace but Ibo women on the other end can't even eat GIZZARD in peace 😂 You sef dey talk? Ehn Ikeshi? We're not mates 😄


You'll think they hate amala. I legit saw someone the other day saying plantain flour is not unique to the west.



Lol this is the point! You guys don’t have an indigenous name for it because it wasn’t originally part of your indigenous attire!

Amadioha go fire you if you no go through my profile 😂😂😂Gele dey there kanpe! Wtf is ichafu?!
