@privatekeys_ @OloriOfOloris Yes nau . It means Cunny deceitful that is why Fulani named them yaribas. Even Thier ooni knows
English
@OloriOfOloris Does the word yeriba mean liar? Cos u people lie like your life depend on it
English
The whole discourse started because a Yoruba woman tied a newspaper like a gele and got dragged, with people insisting there’s no such thing as gele.
Imagine a Yoruba person insisting there’s no such thing as omugwo. UNPROVOKED.

Yorubas call it gele Igbos call it ichafu If you're Yoruba, you tied gele If you're igbo, you tied ichafu Please let's move on.
English
@Reho_saj @OloriOfOloris We started wearing clothes even before Fulani conquered civilized your father's and named them yaribas
English
@OloriOfOloris When did they start wearing clothes, and now they're dragging Gele with Yoruba?
English
@iTrollKiller @audreymama_ @OloriOfOloris Exactly what Ofe mmanu kids will say in the next 50yrs that Igbos started eating udara (agbalumo) from them.. f!lthy f00ls that think the world starts and ends in thier rusty region
English
@audreymama_ @OloriOfOloris Because it's not ichafu. Ichafu is chiffon scarf. Simple. You copied us after living here for a century. Not the other way around. Gele is not ichafu
English
@Prettywoma56590 @UchePOkoye Fulani $laves talking about Caribbeans. Wetin concern Yariba with Caribbean. If there's any group it would be Igbo since most of them are from Igboland. Yaribas were taken to Brazil
English
@UchePOkoye You think Yoruba are limited to Nigeria alone. Go to the Carribbean and see how Yoruba descendants have maintained a culture of tying Gele the Yoruba way. You people are really sick
English
You people lie for a living. That thing you called provocation was a reply to online harassment that has been going on for years on this subject.

@teesmmm Yorubas have Yoruba words for the geles and none of it is in English.
So, if your Gele tying style is in English, my love... It means it doesn't belong to you.

Everybody that grew up in PH know it as Canopy. This tribalism is a disease

If we can’t come together and agree that gele and ichafu are actually the same thing in different languages then we have truly failed as a people. Unity in diversity is but a dream in this country.
English
@Hibana122 Even the Gele they are talking about today came from the Hausa word Gyele,which means the same thing, most of there words are borrowed.
English
I hope you know that the agbada that the Yoruba people wear do not originally belong to the Yoruba people, it was borrowed from the Sahel region during the trade with Fulanis. This is the reason why the Fulani also wear the agbada too, but with a different name(Boubou). The origin of the agbada comes from the Sahel region, mostly Mali, that is where the Yoruba people got the agbada from. So the agbada was just the name they gave to it, as the Malians call it another name, same with the Fulani. Here is a video of Ballake Sissoko playing the West African Kora with his boubou (What the Yoruba call Agbada)attire, he is from Mali

@odunayo_owo @Everdiva1 Dem dey talk head tie you dey show us hairstyle. Are u slow?
English
I will now be calling my headtie ichafu because we are seriously erasing our culture and this was a wake up call for me
English
@UchePOkoye Don't mind Azikiwe. Inspite of his education, he refused to be civil with the ibos as far back as 80 years ago.
Imagine his newspaper below calling you Ibo?
English
I have a long article on this.
Some Yoruba have refused to be civil and respectful to Ndị Igbo, the same people who pride themselves as most respectful tribe.
What an irony.
When some Igbo people retaliate, which usually comes aggressively, we become the bad guys
One thing is certain, Igbo people are learning to return this energy, and when they do, it will be very aggressive, Nzogbu Nzogbu as usual.

There’s no reason to refer to the Igbo people as “Ibo” if your intention is pure. Countless times, these people have pointed out, especially on this app, that the correct spelling of their ethnic group is Igbo. So,what is the issue? Why can’t we respect each other’s differences??
English
@Steadi_lady Yes my intention isn’t pure and I would always call you IBO because that’s the pronunciation and that’s also the way your great forefathers spelt it…..

@onlyvenom90 @funshographix Ckay is bigger than Asake and olamide combined
English
@funshographix You Dey do promotion for Phyno. Cause he no even near Asake, they’re not on the same level. No musician from Ibo land is on Asake level now, they’re way behind him. Asake is one of the 6 biggest export from Nigeria right now. When you remove the big 3, he’s part of the next 3.
English
@de_generalnoni @funshographix @Morre24 Only ckay is bigger than your Asake and local olamide combined
English
@funshographix @Morre24 Stop this comparison abeg. They are not on same radial— Phyno is not even same with flavor. Make Una no dey do all this!
Stop comparing Lagos with Anambra!

This is Ayo Olópón, a traditional game of strategy and intellect. It originated from and is owned by the Yoruba people.
Retweet for wider audience
English
@EbodaE @Voiceofigbos @stmajoraa Probably from the Ika igbos in igbanke Edo state because akoko people are originally from benin
English
@Voiceofigbos @stmajoraa Almost every state in south west celebrate yam festival, Ondo, akoko celebrates the yam festival in September.
English
One day they will change this picture to black and white color and tell you that they are the one that started New Yam festival in 1850
You don’t even know what Fulanis saw in their hand and gave them that name Yoroba
English
@Voiceofigbos Because Yoruba give you the name ibo you kon think say Hausa give Yoruba people name lol 😂😂
English
@Voiceofigbos People that stole Fulani Babariga and renamed it Agbada... What can't they steal.
English
@elewedude @isiakponah @biyibjorn Yes , it's the close you copied from sahel after Fulani civilized and conquered your ancestors
English
@Redstar4live @isiakponah @biyibjorn If no b say you stupid does this look like cloth you wear if you are avoiding dust? What even the similarity between jalabia and agbada? Ori yin ti buru omo ibobotamus
English
@Christabell_O @Omololaomoluabi @tomisin_ms Exactly what I said blokhead. Go BK to school and learn to read
English
@Redstar4live @Omololaomoluabi @tomisin_ms You’re out of your damn mind, in Igbo culture it’s the wife’s mother that goes.
English
My own contribution to this gele/ichafu debate is some words from our different languages have gone mainstream, so people will default to them instead of their own.
It normally happens through pop culture, movies and music
Gele/Ichafu — Gele is more mainstream
Olojojo/Omugwo — Omugwo is more mainstream
What other words are there?
English
@arlestus5 @AyanbisiAT My Cameroon friend told me why are Nigerians always ignorant and not exposed. I told him that those Nigerians he met are the Yaribas who have never crossed Lagos before so they have a small mind
English
You guys have always tucked you self in your enclaves , thinking that Nigeria is only Lagos Ibadan express way . Ichafu is what we call it , and I know yorubas call it Gele even without ever living in the west .
Believe your own imaginations but don’t spew ignorance like it’s a fact . I noticed that amongst the 3 major ethnic group in Nija , Yorubas are the most ignorant about other parts of Nigeria . You hardly meet one tha has crossed Lagos or southwest before ., hence the incredible ignorance of everything around them .
English
My 4 decades in the world, & I have never heard of Ichafu in my life until yesterday.
Everyone involved in that attempt to misappropriate Yoruba Gele should be judged like criminals.
