RE: The first ever STEMng meet up: My experience #1

in #steemstem6 years ago

Great experience and you all look like you were having fun.
This is what I like about new communities, the fact that you can build much more than what traditional communities can. It felt more of a team-building event, didn't it?
I always wanted to know more about the traditional attire and the hat especially, since I saw that many Nigerian steemians have it.
Cheers!

Sure, we had fun. Yes, it's more of a team building event.

The traditional attire is called "buba" and "sokoto". It's a cloth commonly worn by the Yoruba tribe of the south-western Nigeria. The hat is a cap called "fila" and we have different types of it. There are "abeti aja", "Gobi", "kufi" etc.

Thanks for passing by.

I need one of each :)
I really find them funny but I would feel like not taking your traditions seriously if I wore them. Do they mean anything?
Different colors meaning social or religious status or just different areas having their own?

No, it would look cool on you. We'd appreciate you donning the cap. Lol

Different colours just to match your dressing and make it colorful, it's not attached to religious or social status.
