RE: Cultural Identity Theft

in #africa7 years ago


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.@humanearl, We call it Agbada.
