Hmmmm....ok...going through our comments....chai...one of us talked about our cultural dressing. But thinking about it, I think it's beautiful to actually discuss about what you feel about our cultural attire. Oya...for the sake of my friends that know little about it, let's start by saying the Gbagyi people are known for their unique attire which differentiates them from others. This attire has been a symbol of identification for the Gbagyi race. It is popularly known as 'ajesuda'.
Ajesuda
In this mode of dressing, the ladies tie wrappers above their breasts without blouses. On the other hand, the men wear what is called 'abache'.
Abache
This piece of clothing looks like underwear except that it crosses in-between the gonads, exposing each part of the buttocks. The men literally have their butts out. Now, with civilization and globalization, it has become rare to see the ladies with just their coverings. They now prefer to wear a white blouse on the wrapper, while the men prefer to sew the ajesuda to wear on a trouser. However, on festivals, most of the participants prefer to return to the traditional mode of dressing. Now, some people are against these traditional modes of dressing, feeling that they are indecent.
What's your take on this?....Gbagyi let's talk...
