NIGERIAN FASHION

Nigerians are known for their dressence and swagger.
I know you are probably wondering about Nigerian fashion and why Nigerians dress so good,I guess it all springs up from their rich and colourful Nigerian cultural heritage.
Nigeria is divided into three ethnic groups, namely the igbos,yorubas and hausas. These tribes all have different colourful attires. The yoruba speaking Nigerians are often seen on locally made Buba and iro ,the shokoto, or the agbada.
The hausas/ fulanis wear the caftan, babarigas or the jalabia. The igbos are known for their red caps,wrappers and coral beads. the Nigerian woman going for an event would rather be garbed in a native attire with professionally made head-gears than the European usual suit/hat attire.
