@josh_olonade So you now teach us Igbo or what ?? 🤣🤣 You guys are really funny .. even the one wey go school de behave like illiterate..

Ichafu means scarf/head covering, which is the exact meaning of Ibori/Ohun Ìborí in Yoruba. Gèlè, is a peculiar type of head covering native to Yorubas even outside Nigeria. Ìpèlé is another type. For someone who speaks about traveling, your words reflect a rather caged mind.

@Earth_1man @abbietayo As what ?? Na your sister go remain barren.DUNCE

@abbietayo U go remain barren if u ever put mouth for this matter again

This discussion just showed how tribalistic alot of you are. Look at you calling each other everything but a child of God because of a dispute. Sad!

They are all wearing Ichafu! Stop the stealing.

@chookuchooku @UchePOkoye See olanikputu oo 🤣😅

@UchePOkoye Ibo man all these long speech of victim hood isn’t necessary

The only people in the world that insist on calling Igbo “Ibo.” In fact, they’d start arguments from their shanties in Sango Ota or Abule Egba, telling you how Samuel Ajayi Crowther wrote and taught Igbo people how to read and write. They spam everywhere that we don’t have culture, that our culture started from the Nigerian Civil War. They will be everywhere celebrating and mocking Ndị Igbo about the war like they were at the forefront. They will never fail to remind you how they killed our people and threaten to do it again. These people have, on several occasions, claimed that Chinua Achebe and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie plagiarized their work. They are everywhere talking about how we don’t have culture, saying our red cap or Abiriba headwear were Christmas wear from Europe. Since 1970, they have taken control of the media and have been responsible for shaping the narrative of what Nigerians consume, and nobody disturbed or queried them. This issue of Ichafu has been going on for a while, and I largely blame our people who are lost in this country. They barely know their position or the agenda of those they live with. Every Igbo person born and raised in the East got to know about gele online very recently, mostly brought back by either our people born and raised in Lagos or people from the South West. It is like when young Igbo people would rather call udara “agbalumo” because they grew up in Lagos and only know it as such or when they call it so just to appear exotic even when they know the Igbo name. You see, The Igbo person, even in precolonial times, prides himself by how many places he's been to and how many languages he is proficient in. It is what drives the exhibitionism that comes off as a need to feel/sound exotic. That is what we find in our eagerness to refer to foreign lexicons to describe things we know the Igbo word for. It is hurting our language and helping our ignorant detractors. These people are so ignorant of Nigeria and intensely obsessed with Igbo that they regurgitate the most insane talking points about us. They genuinely believe that Ajayi Crowther taught us how to read and write. They genuinely believe that Calabar was once the capital of Nigeria. They don’t even know the difference between Edo State, Akwa Ibom, or Cross River. If you try to explain, they’d tell you that they are all the same, or they’d draw comparisons to how the same is applied to the North, as if they are the North’s mouthpiece. Anywhere they see Igbo— Today, posting Ichafu—they jump in with screenshots and posts talking about how it is their culture. They claimed Akwete, saying it was copied from them. Mind you, Igbo people are the only ethnic group in Nigeria that has a woven cloth that is over 1,000 years old, which is older than their empire. I have seen so much nonsense from these people and have realized that they won’t stop until they mess everything up. Bola Ahmed Tinubu has become their god; they are celebrating the position and have bragged about “colonizing” Nigeria on several occasions. They have monopolized the economy, filled everywhere with incompetent hands with questionable credentials, and have successfully run everything down—from the economy to security—everything is at an all-time low. The same thing they accuse Igbo people of trying to do is what they are celebrating having successfully done. During the administration of Goodluck Jonathan, they claimed it was an Ijaw Christian president who allowed Igbo too much access to national politics. They used the media and church to organize all manner of protests, civil unrest, and propaganda targeted at Ndị Igbo and the South South. It is so funny watching these guys celebrate “colonizing” Nigeria and gatekeeping different operations. My problem is not even monopolizing these things, but that they have failed woefully in every facet. Just look at the economy! They are running everything on propaganda and lies.

@Ujubell @chukatweet Anumanu ,, Ara gbagbue gi ebea.. na people like you de disgrace your generation, Ezi Bida. Forming classy when nothing de Una head ..

@Ujubell @chukatweet You no get sense..

Igbo women shot themselves in the leg and today they are all crying. Their mothers and mothers before them would be weeping on how a set of generation eroded Ichafu and start calling it gele. Generation of weak ass women who you only see when its about gizzard or kolanut sharing.

They have started copying iwaji, give them 5 years from now and Yorovultures will tell you that Oranmiyan started the festival.

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.

@Obawells @nzemmili Una ehh goshh 🤣🤣

@nzemmili So it can be irritating to you 🤣🤣🤣🤣 The person took correction as expected but you don’t!

It was made by Akwa Iyanga in Enugu. Stop this, it’s irritating from you guys at this point. This isn’t the one she did, this was done in Enugu!

@Bawzz_lady You no well .

I blame that igbo account that was jumping everywhere insisting its ichafu! No critical thinking just “my tribe is better than yours” fools everywhere farming rage for payout

@Honey_crowns @deYieldguru Lol please you people should travel and stop telling lies to your self 🤣🤣 .. borrowed what from where exactly??

@deYieldguru No It’s agbada We can however agree we borrowed it from Mali and have developed on it Can you agree you borrowed Gele and called it something else?

So when you borrow you acknowledge who you borrowed from It isn’t hard Like alubosa is Hausa and we acknowledge it Don’t “borrow” and change the name then claim it

@stefan_nosa 💯💯💯💯👌

Ichafu-Gele war 2026 Dear future Edo children, this is 2026 and by the time you need this post, some of us may not be here and I pray X remains to keep this evidence. What you see below are Edo attires, especially the Okuku for women. It is explicitly for Edo women and royals of kingdoms associated with the Benin empire. It was a popular trend from 2020 and many women from other ethnic groups in Nigeria wore them for the love of it, it doesn’t belong to them. We know unfortunate people will bring pictures of their mothers getting married with the okuku and therefore claim it in future, no it’s never theirs, they only liked it and wore it. Although the men attire is slowly being stolen, but it remains a property of the Edo men. The Okuku hair-do is for Edo women who realise their ancestry is from ancient Benin only. It is 2026 and there is a war between Gele and Ichafu, don’t let Okuku join such war. Oba gha tọkpẹre Isẹ!

@GOATED_CR7 Lol 🤣🤣 are you dumb ,, that's still ichafu regardless.. Ndi culture 🤣🤣

If you say ichafu and gele is same Pls kindly show me where Gele is tied on the neck😭😹

@khanofkhans11_ Nna it's ichafu ok

That quote on that gele newspaper was inciting and the guy who started it knew what he was doing. It was intentional.

@Voiceofigbos That you have what you call it doesn't mean others doesn't have what they call it too .. or are you just dumb ??? Una never see anything shaa ..

Lol this Ichafu conversation pained Igbo people well. i am glad we re having very important conversation Because no one will expect that Ichafu that our great grandmothers cherish to the pont of passing it down generations will be what some people want to appropriate and claim People that got their name from Fulani eeh kwa

@IfeDada2 You are simply a coward ..

This particular outfit was actually made by Akwa_iyanga. The gold outfit was the one made by EmaginebyBukola

EmaginebyBukola made her outfit🤭

I call it eba because of my time in boarding school in Benin. Growing up, it’s garri we call it. At home sef, it’s still garri we call it. Nobody says eba 😂

@Hibana122 Lol 🤣🤣🤣 this people ehhh

There a reason why the Fulani called you guys “Yariba” which mean coward tribe. Now that the Igbos are overwhelming you people, you want to instigate another tribe against Ndi Igbo so they will fight battles for you.

@IzunnaDike Hahaha 🤣😂😂 na thief and lies them Sabi ..

Since we’ve all decided to be a mad please stop appropriating our lingo. It’s originally “Warri no dey carry last”, popularised due to Warri (Delta) athletes dominating every national track and field event. Now it’s “Naija no dey carry last” ole. 😭😂🤣

@rc2g6226ff @IzunnaDike You de lie .. na warri we know onye oshi.
