My dear, I think you mean color customization.
some Nigerian communities wear elements of Yoruba ceremonial dress in colors that reflect their own heritage.
Examples are the idoma and Tiv of benue state, Atyap of southern kaduna and Igala people of Kogi etc. The entire outfit is Yoruba
@mansa_balo You lying dude! So it hurts that ilorin weavers influence the pattern decoration of Ita inochi. You can't rewrite history. Just take it like that. Bye
Why are you lying?
Barth’s published account does not substantiate the claim. He visited Kano in 1851 and documented its textile trade. In Travels and Discoveries in North and Central Africa (1857), volume II, pp. 125–129 of the London edition, he describes cloth made in Kano and nearby towns and specifically identifies cloth brought from Nupe, which he calls “Nýffi or Núpe.” I found no reference to Ebira cloth in that passage.
@Martin25884708 Fake drugs manufacturers, why are you crying? I would rather beg than destroy peoples lives with fake drugs. Oloriburuku, omo irankiran, I learnt that 95% of oloshos in Lagos are igbos
@mansa_balo You have no basis to dispute what is credible, I gave answers from credible sources. You haven't given me anything from credible sources. All you do is argue
The strongest evidence is an oral tradition from Okene that credits Ilorin with a specific weaving technique. In Cloth in West African History, textile historian Colleen Kriger records that women in the household of Alhaji Ibrahim, the Atta of Okene, added extra sticks to their looms so they could weave decorative patterns into the cloth. According to the account, the women said this technique came from Ilorin.
Textile historian John Picton also identifies Ilorin women as a possible influence on the decorative patterns developed in Ibrahim’s household, where silk weaving was established in the 1930s. The Victoria and Albert Museum describes Ebira ita-inochi weaving itself as centuries old.
@ChukwuemekaUgo9@grok You probably don't know me personally. I told you to stop messaging me. We are not on the same level. If you message me again I will block you. when you see me face to face you will keep your AWS certification somewhere. Who is your mate here in terms of qualifications
Oh I see you are a stack illiterate. Let me help you a little since you didn't go to school. Grok is an artificial intelligence that was trained on machine learning and Rag. The fact that it says something doesn't mean it is credible and responsible. So if you want to make any reasonable research,Ai should never be your only source. Now have good day and stop being useless. Don't message me again in your life. You hear?
@ChukwuemekaUgo9 It is that your useless headshape that is affecting your thinking. Who gave birth to igbo people by the way? Because you read whatever people post online, you cannot think for yourself and make research
@StGeorge0147 Who is this one again? I have every right and reason to protect my cultural heritage. The same way you should protect yours too unless you don't have any then you can be bitter
