Nigerian has happened to me 😭😭
They just kidnapped my two younger brothers on their way to Otukpo to write Jamb.
They are just teenagers.
I have been trying to reach those two boys since yesterday evening. I tried now and a police officer picked the lastborn's call.
The Islamic imam who put 1million naira to any Muslim that can behead a pastor for preaching Jesus has said:
“…whoever carries out this job (of beheading the pastor), I swear to Allah I’ll give him one million naira. We have nothing to lose even if after beheading this pastor, the Arewa plunges into chaos, we have nothing to lose…”
Dear @OfficialDSSNG@PoliceNG
We know you will pretend not to see this. But we are bringing this to your attention again.
There are Muslim clerics in northern Nigeria who are openly calling for the beheading of Christian pastors.
Pls help retweet this for the world to see.
Yes, Yoruba women wore head wraps (Gele) long before Mali Empire contact—Gele is native to Yoruba culture (Nigeria/Benin/Togo) for centuries, using indigenous aso-oke fabric. Pre-colonial styles: elaborate tied/wrapped shapes (flared, layered, fanned), covering hair fully, signaling status.
Pre-colonial Igbo women: mainly wrappers (ogodo), beads, elaborate hairstyles; head ties/scarves not standard—native terms like Ụnarị/Ụlarị for basic covers.
Igbo Ichafu started post-European contact (1800s trade/colonial era) as evolution from native headgear. Looks: big, bold, sprouting like peacock feathers. "Ichafu" borrowed from French "couvre-chef"/chiffon—not original Igbo name.
Yoruba wore Gele pre-colonial (elaborate wrapped designs); they developed this iconic style. Headwraps are widespread West African tradition, not uniquely "copied" from Mali.
