God bless you. Though sadistic and macabre, the plain truth is that slavery was an unprecedented economic juggernaut whose impact is still lived by each of us daily. I too loved when you said that the body was steonger, bu thw mind is weak. That is exacrly what was exploited. An educated nation is a great nation. WE ARE STRONG , WE AR African .
Its a good thing you are this concerned about your origin and i pray you get the necessary answers.
Thanks alot. I'm just curious. What country are you from in Africa?
@humanearl, I am from Nigeria. Very proud one for that. I am an Igbo boy. My name there is nedu short form for Chinedu. Haha. If you look at the profile picture, you will see my attire. I rep Nigeria and proudly African. So we are on the same page. Really glad you have this mindset and also have it at heart. God bless you bro
What do you call the type of clothing you are wearing in your profile picture?
@georgechuks, you read my mind. You answered it like you were my twin. I see that you are a yoruba guy with a difference too. I really love the agbada. It makes you appear as a noble person, a high chief. I salute you. Sorry for the late reply @humanearl. It is called the agbada. Worn on special occassions.
mmmmmmm
@humanearl, We call it Agbada.
I try to showcase Nigeria’s diverse culture through its attire. I wear attire from the different Nigerian tribes. I make efforts to know the local name of the attire so that I can explain it confidently to anyone who wants to know.
I am a passionate African, Environmentalist and Sustainable Development Goals campaigner. I also see myself as an unofficial African ambassador (if there is anything like that)
Glad you really want to know about the custom and not just the custume.
I see dressing in traditional garb as a way to show a genuine cultural appreciation for human diversity in the places we stay or travel. By donning traditional clothing, we can express our humility and our interest in preserving and understanding the ways of the past. Wearing these garments helps us show our affinity for the local and indigenous people, and they allow both parties to collectively understand that our similarities outweigh our differences.
