NUPE ATTIRE

Every tribe has its mode of communication, as well as their mode of dressing. If you see a man with stick in his hand, with a mini top and trouser, and wearing a hat, you'll easily identify him as a "Fulani man". Aside that, people are also identify by their tribal mark. Some tribal mark(s) give full identification, which enhance people to know even the state you came from. For instance, (Nupe mark, Oyo mark, Katsina mark, Ogbomoso mark) respectively.

Nupe language is one of the famous languages in the Northern part of Nigeria, with her capital in Bida. They however resides in Niger state, Kwara state, and Kogi state respectively.

When you see a woman dressed in Egokpara, Nnadzwa ebwa, Kpasa and Gbadu, what comes to your mind?
