Media personality, Ebuka Obi Uchendu had the internet buzzing after he stunned in an Agbada from Ugo Monye’s Reale collection. Everybody loved it but Nollywood actor, Femi thinks Ebuka and Ugo confused Nigerians as he believes the attire was not a proper Agbada.
In Femi’s words;
THIS IS NOT AN AGBADA!
“Abeg o make una no vex o, as much as I am in love with this epic design that is obviously trending right now, as a Yoruba man, one of the few tribes to whom the Agbada traditionaly belongs, I want to ask…. Is this really an Agbada?! A Buba is different from a Dansiki which is also different from a dandogo or an olentelafa (long sleeved tunic that reaches the ankles) but they are all tops. From what I know, an Agbada is never open in front. It can be any design, length or pattern but it’s never cut all the way open in front! This is more of a Kimono not an Agbada. Of a truth, the Agbada has metamorphosed grandly over the years but always kept it’s basic design which has come to become it’s sole identity. WHAT WE SEE HERE IS NOT AN AGBADA! So plz @ugomonye.official what do we call this epic masterpiece of yours cos now we are all confused o!”
