Talk:Aso oke

Spelling

Is it "Aso Oke", "Aso oke", "aso-oke" (all of which appear in the article) or something else again, e.g. "aso oke"? I'm inclined to the latter, seeing no reasons for capitals and noting the lack of hyphen in the title, so will globally make the alteration in the article. If anyone knows better, please edit.

Also, deleting last sentence which is pure nonsense. Emeraude (talk) 15:32, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Add pictures on Wiki commons

Need better Aso-Oke pictures on wiki commons, especially more lovely stripped Aso-Oke in fabric unsewn form. There are more pictures of sewn Aso-Oke into garments and the ones that are unsewn fabrics are more of the plain type. In short, needs more image submissions.

ASO oke

Aso-Oke originated in the Southwest Nigeria in the 15th Century by the Yorubas, coinciding with the introduction of Islam with its requirement of head coverings into the region. It began in towns like Iseyin and Oyo and soon spread to neighboring tribes like Igalas, Idomas, Ebiras, Tivs with their own Aso-Oke colors.

Aso-Oke comes from Aso Ilu Oke or Aso-Ofi, translated as clothes from the top or mountain or top cloth.

The Aso-Oke is part of the attire of the Yoruba people of Southern Nigeria and, it is worn on special occasions like burials and weddings.

Aso-Oke was used for Agbadas which are flowing gown-like outfits and Fila, a sort of cap for men and matching blouse, shirts and scarves for women.

Aso-Oke originated in the Southwest Nigeria in the 15th Century by the Yorubas, coinciding with the introduction of Islam with its requirement of head coverings into the region.

Almost all Yoruba women in ancient times were experts at weaving. The process begins with separating the cotton from the wool with a Spindler.

After that, the dirt is separated from the wool by a process known as sorting.

The next process is the dyeing of the thread. The thread is dyed into the desired color.

Then the thread is inserted into the weaver in the way the person weaving wants the Aso-Oke to come out. It takes about two-four hours to insert the thread into the machine.

Then, the weaving begins. Weaving involves interlocking a set of threads at the right angle to form a pattern.

Aso-Oke is not only limited to wedding attire. There are now Aso-Oke jackets, bags, shoes, and purses, Aso-Oke can be worn casually as trousers or a mini skirt and, paired with a round neck t-shirt.

Aso-Oke proclaims the beauty in Africa and African culture before colonialization.

It is versatile and relevant in these modern times, moving from the past and maintaining its beauty and elegance. 197.211.59.132 (talk) 09:16, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
