Hi people! Happy weekends o. Hope sey una dey kampe!

I'm calling on all African readers to show off their traditional outfits here on DB&K. In Nigeria we get to wear traditional outfits to work on Fridays.Oh boy (south-south accent)...you need to see just how creative Nigerians can get with ankara...

And because DB&K loves Africa, I've decided to bring my African brothers and sisters in the mix.Show us how it's done in Cameroon, Kenya, South Africa...wherever you are...lets learn about each other.

All you need do is take a picture and send to eskinks@gmail.com with your name and the name of your outfit (if it has one).

Trad.Fridays is not just about African designers but about Africans! So take out your Camera/Phones and take beautiful pictures for us to see. Abeg SHOW YOURSELF!! This kind shakara no go wake palava...

And if you are shy, no problem.Anonymous pictures are just as beautiful!

Until next time...

Blessings!

Note:You don't need to be the designer of your outfit... as long as you are wearing it, share it with us.

Trad. Fridays being posted on Saturday is as a result of the bomb blast which occurred on Friday the 26th day of August 2011,in Abuja the capital city of Nigeria. My prayers go to the families of those who lost their lives. I pray that God bless the children of these families with the ability to overcome the feelings of fear,insecurity and hate which might crop up in this trying time. Amen!
