I seriously don’t know why y’all do this. Every time Yoruba people ask for proper credit for our culture, you get pissy and turn it into a problem.
The woman herself explained that she knowingly used West African fabric for her take on a Ugandan outfit. So why twist the issue? Is giving Yoruba people credit really that difficult, or does your agenda matter more than her own explanation?
Kí ni problem yín gan-an?
Don’t be disingenuous. The girl literally said this is a modern take on her typical traditional Kikoye attire meaning she used Aso Ofi instead of typical Kikoye material.
Frame 1 - the Ugandan girl in Aso Ofi
Frame 2, 3, 4 - the typical Kikoye material
How is it bullying when she used the Nigerian Aso Oke and first tagged it as a “Ugandan traditional wedding outfit”? You’re selective with the truth, which is sad.
The commenters who pointed it out weren’t rude; they stated the obvious which at the end they weren’t wrong. She even used a Nigerian designer.
So It’s not her traditional fabric and it isn’t called Gomezi,it’s simply Aso Oke.
@Eniola_x1 That Reni girl has a bias against Yoruba people. I'm sorry for who hasn't clocked her hate. She hides under a Yoruba name to propagate Yoruba hatred. She's been corrected and still won't delete her hateful tweet.
@larabillionaire It's aso oke. The girl admitted she used the fabric to make it in her traditional style. The issue is claiming it's her traditional outfit without crediting the fabric she used.
Enugu is really so backward. This is the second video I’ll be seeing in the space of one month that they’re banishing people
In this big 2026, they’re banishing people in your states and you guys don’t talk about it?
So we leave where matters alone to attack Lagos online att??
“If I did anything against any human being, let ev!l happen to me.”

Mongrel, drop the performative unity.
Stick to the bigoted energy you’ve had in your tweets, we all know that's the same ethnic scapegoating you'd return to the moment election season ends and it's time to blame another tribe for your candidate's loss.
I standardized and formalized my usage of Ibo after hearing an “Igbo” elder at a restructuring conference claiming that Ibo shares prefixes and suffixes with Yoruba (because of the similarity to certain Yoruba place names or subgroups like Igbo/Ugbo).
What an open attempt to claim or blur into Yoruba towns and heritage, moya stick with the older colonial spelling, that is my own mechanism to push back against that nonsense.
The Yoruba people have always been correct.
That whole Ibo/Igbo spelling debate in the British press was at its height in 1963-1965, just after independence and just before the Biafran period, when British newspapers were still standardising on Ibo.
I’m sorry but it’s not their culture, they adopted it and are trying to claim they developed it independently. We influenced Hausas too and they still call it gyale till date. There’s historical evidence of this influence across Africa btw by colonial and even Igbo scholars.
@sugabelly The things they say are genuinely disgusting
In this case some of them are low-key right. It's their culture and art. Accept that it's your culture too while not disregarding their own.
Both Yoruba people and igbo people are moving mad.
Both of them need to chill fr
"We are not going to negotiate Lagos. Lagos State is our top priority. We can lose any state but we must not lose Lagos State...even if it costs us our lives"
This 2023 meeting was not held in Lagos but far away in Abia state.
If you don't understand what I meant by conquest mentality, this is it. If this does not enrage you, flip the script. Imagine some people in Lagos, discussing about capturing Abia or Anambra State. They should state it that they don't care whether they lose anything else, as long as they have Anambra or Abia. Let's see how it will sound.
“Police, however, have not publicly established an ethnic motive for the killings.”
This is the article’s own conclusion. So if it acknowledges that an ethnic motive has not been established, why frame the headline as though there was one? “Wipe out Igbo family” ��� really?
