Pre-colonial ichafu (Igbo headwrap, also called unari or similar dialect terms) was typically a simple cloth bound or gathered around the head for modesty, status, or ceremony, as noted in 19th-century accounts and illustrations like those of Aboh royalty in 1841.
Pre-colonial gele (Yoruba) used handwoven aso-oke or similar fabrics, wrapped into elevated or structured forms, with early evidence in late-19th-century photos such as Madam Tinubu’s and Gelede mask depictions.
@Son_Chukwudi No we don have something close to Ichafool,we have something far elegant, unique and glamorous than Ichafool. Ichafool is a simple scarf, more like an elaborate handkerchief,But the #GELE is a masterpiece and art,both as a material from the Aso Oke and as a style in Damask.
@Son_Chukwudi But you bastards are the cultural thieves, lots of pictures, published scripts and manuscripts points that #GELE is of Yoruba Origin and Ethincity but y’all are claiming it and calling it Ichafool.
4 year old Folasade Lawson dressed in typical Yoruba attire including #gele presented a bouquet of flowers to Queen Elizabeth II during her visit to 'Nigeria' (1956). People usually dress their kids in miniature versions of their cultural attire during special occasions. VIDEO👇

@Ayobami_d_1st @beautyAda7 This is their Ancestors, when we were already rocking iron ati buba ans Aso Oke and #GELE
@beautyAda7 Yes!!! We invented the Head Gear styling and the Aso Oke Material popularly called #GELE.
We are the originators of it. And even the Damask material you lot are trying to steal as well, was first imported into Nigeria by a Yoruba Man. Period!!!
Gele brings out the beauty in you and makes you elegant. #Gele
@TosinSilver_Da #Gele is top Tier.
Yoruba really blessed the world with this invention of the most regal and glamorous head gear.
Now I see why some Nyamiri Igbobaboons want to die.
@UloakuBlooms Nobody is saying Igbos don’t have Ichafool, but it’s not the elegant #Gele it’s more like a subtle simple scarf.
GELE
Our great-grandmother really cooked with beautiful culture for Yorùbá generations to build on.
kudos to Awolowo for the education that teaches proper documentation of YORÙBÁ culture&history. They saw the future about the tribe famous for CULTURE VULTURE. #YORUBADUN #gele
