Lol yorugba people that started wearing clothes recently 😂 🤣
This is what your people has be tiring on their heads for long, all of a sudden you abandoned it to start claiming Ichafu
These were Yoruba women at about the same time by the way. While some have not even learnt how to wear clothes, Yoruba women were already slaying with Gele. I challenge the ibos to provide pictures of ibo women dressed as elegant as this in the 1950s and I will delete my account
Rage baiting and low self esteem 🤷🏽♀️. Can't blame them sha, I will be ashamed and thieving too if my ancestors didn't have something solid to pass on. Soooo yeah!
I don’t think you guys understand who you’re dealing with. Just because many Yorùbá people have forgotten who they are does not mean the historical record has disappeared.
None of the headwraps in those photos is gèlè. The third comes closest, and even that resembles the auto-gèlè style that became popular in the 2000s.
Again, Yorùbá women have documented evidence of gèlè dating back to the 1800s. You’re going to have to comb the internet a little harder than that.
And one thing you certainly cannot claim is that you got your “ichafu” from Vietnamese women.
So, by all means, keep digging.
Are Yoruba people really serious about this cultural appropriation stuff over headtie?
You genuinely believe Yoruba was the only tribe in precolonial "Nigeria" to tie scarfs as a fashion accessory?
This art of this in Igbo culture is called "Ịsụ Ichafu", what's the ruckus?
