@deluxe_pastor @geenaabiti So the Yoruba made the gele? All of them were imported. It’s the same scarf different languages. Igbos call it ‘Akwa isi’ or ‘ichafu’

Yoruba call it garri Hausa call it garri Igbo call it garri My question now is which own that language "GARRI" ?






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.
