What’s something people pretend to enjoy… but really don’t?

This video reveals at least two Ile-Aje plundered from Ile-Ife, now sitting pristine in the UK preserved, protected, and revered. They branded our spirituality as "evil" and demonized our deities to strip the land of its sacred power. Yet, they archived and enshrined these same artifacts as "heritage" in their own institutions.



This user is half Yoruba and half Urhobo, you?





Dear Yoruba women, it’s time to show some restraint in this cultural appropriation spree. The Obiakwa style is fundamentally an Igbo weaving tradition. It consists of a matching pair of wrappers engineered with unequal length and width during the weaving and production process. Anthropological fieldwork on Nigerian textiles explicitly records this technical asymmetry as the exact feature that distinguishes Igbo weaving from every other tradition in the country. This “short and long” look is purely Igbo. Oleku s a single piece of wrapper, no identical pairs, no unequal dimensions, no pleats, and no side extensions. Stop the cultural theft."











Fun fact: both are of Yoruba origin. What we know as Edo bridal attire today is classic Ife empire women attire. It is now Edo bridal attire cos Ife influenced Benin heavily and till today, Benin runs on Ife civilization.
