the territory by the way MANDELA IS NOT A WEST AFRICAN SO YOU HAVE NO CONNECTION WHATSOEVER TO HIM DNA OR OTHERWISE leave him out of it.. dumbass go and find YOUR PEOPLE IN ISREAL and shut up trolling on african vids cos you feel BAd about yourself .. HECK ALL THOSE ISREALITES ARE NOTHING MORE THAN JUNKIES HIGH ON THE "CRACK" OF FANTASY of some mythical POWER they never had cos they never existed as an entity . WONDERS WILL NEVER CEASE..
so I am yoruba and I have no clue of how to tie this gele stuff. My parents were never the owabe type, sad I know. But I am learning though. trying to get into my culture and tradition.
Love it... I agree, society has the American African stuck on American so called fashion & trends. I would love to wear my own clothing style; the style of the african woman, 1 day i pray i will.. Where would u get the clothes?
@nem1901 depending on where you live int the states you can get the material or you can get made up clothes , if you are in places like new york or new jersey which have a high nigerian and other west african populations you can get hold of a number of places , just google for venues if you are in places with a low concentration of africans its more difficult .you will have to travel to get either a place they sell our materials or tailors who make the clothes.. here in the uk its a lot easier
Enjoyed the video!!! The song was the bomb!! How I found you is this morning, I am on the internet, trying to find African fabrics - this summer I will have an African inspired wardrobe to go with my now, right at my shoulder, length locks!! I WILL rock a Gele this summer!!! I am American born of West Indian parents who ALWAYS had a love for African and it's people. Currently, I am a professional African Movie watcher, lol. God bless us...One love!!
I'm an aspiring hairstylist and am styling for a fashion show in which the theme is international so I'm making a Gele from hair for one of my models to wear- it'll definitely bring a few opinions out here in Hawaii- it's not just white people who aren't happy when our hair's nappy, lot's of asians are the same way, yet they all want to "texturize" their hair to have what we have. Cest la vie
Thanks so much for this video and everyone's comments. I am taking my hair back to natural and it's sooo hard to get off the "creamy crack" so I appreciate inspiration like this. The history lesson is interesting too- my mom is Jewish and my father Maroon from Africa- so I have heard this history before but always thought it was just a family tale, nothing really true, now I believe.
4.) Mandella once said while visiting America, "blks in America r NOT MY PPL.,.. I GO HOME NOW TO MY PPL...u SEE... THEY KNOW....what really happened in history, bc we used to set up successful kingdoms in MOST OF WEST AFRICA & SPAIN ALSO...we were a force to recon wit...& it took 3 other races 2 take us down. All the nations keep THAT hush hush....IT'S CALLED POLITICS.
@Yashaabakadawbra now what are you doing on here then ?lol poor thing, what are you seeking on here go and find your people and leave us alone what is wrong with you lot anyway ? what the heck has mandela got to do with the west african slave trade, you are not decendants of south africans so he is right . go and find your people you lost "sheepbrewed" mutton chop .. foolish maga..

3.) Actually, if you do the history, we were refugees in Africa for 1,500 yrs . That's why they call us Africans, but we NOT AFRICAN.We fought against them in many battles during our flight in Africa. We're actually Negroid Hebrews of the lost tribes scattered originally from the middle east. It was the Africans & the Arabs that teamed up against us & SOLD US INTO SLAVERY 2 the wht man. for wine, cocoa, & mustard guns.

2.) Ahhh! they will quickly call u bro & Sis bc we share the same dark skin, but they've said many times, "we are below them"....they truly think they're better than us...NOT ALL of THEM, cuz some of them are "us"....but the majority of them are HAMETIC, but we are SHEMETIC. distant bros, but 2 separate nations. That's why we can't completely come together with them.
1.) Hey! I'm blk but i ain't got nooOBODY in my family that look like these ppl in this video. I've dealt wit Africans & they know WE NOT AFRICANS. U can't even get a decent cab ride from them in N.Y. u gotta end up arguing wit em. I was in Germany. I was really tryin to be friends wit em, but they did sneeky stuff & constantly wanted to beat u out of material gain.
@Yashaabakadawbra now stop trying to be friends with africans and stick to your own white jewish people or go and find whomever you think you are descendant from and leave us alone what is yor problem ? shut up your sheepmatic self is and idiot we are not remotely related okay ? does that make you feel better about your low self esteem and lack of self worth ? "shepsheep" .. am not about to "bro or sis" you i dont need to yes you are separate you are AMERICAN and a bit CRAZY i guess that goes
Very well said Ebeledi. I wish all African women who use perms would watch the movie "Good Hair," by Chris Rock. I love my natural locks and the freedom that comes with not using toxins on my scalp, endless hours at the salon, high maintenance and the pain and suffering.

I would ditch those European type clothing, for the African type clothing, because they're beautiful, exotic, and kicks ass.
