   Hello everyone am miss Blessing Andrew Isekenegbe A student of Gombe state university, English Language The Edo Women And Her Attire   Edo state has unique and fascinating beliefs, history, and culture. When it comes to cultural attire, the Edo People maintain a unique way of dressing. Coral bead accessories are a true passion for Edo women and men. The Edo culture is popular in the Southern part of Nigeria. It has an interesting history and strong respect for the traditions that are passed from generation to generation         Here is a little about the Oba of Benin Cultural Attire The Oba of Benin costume is elaborate. From head to feet and with the exception of the Iyeruan and Akhuankhuan made of Ukponmwinanido (local Cloth) every other thing the Oba wears is either red coral or Ivory beads. The Iyeruan, a large item of regalia, is a peculiar type of hand-woven white cloth by the Royal guild, Owina-Nido. Oba  The Akhuankhuan, a white band around the waist is made of local cloth.
