"This Is Not An Agbada" - Yoruba Actor, Femi Branch Tells Ebuka, Who's Agbada Got Everyone Talking

Looks like the talk on Ebuka's Agbada which stole the show at Banky W and Adesua Etomi's traditional wedding ceremony, isn't gonna come to an end anytime soon!

Now, Nollywood actor, Femi Branch has taken to his IG page to call out Ebuka Uchendu and his fashion designer, Ugo Monye over the outfit.
According to the actor who shared the photo above on his Instagram page, the outfit is not an Agbada but a Kimono.
His words below:
"THIS IS NOT AN AGBADA!
Abeg o make una no vex o, as much as I am in love with this epic design that is obviously trending right now, as a Yoruba man, one of the few tribes to whom the Agbada traditionaly belongs, I want to ask…. Is this really an Agbada?! A Buba is different from a Dansiki which is also different from a dandogo or an olentelafa (long sleeved tunic that reaches the ankles) but they are all tops. From what I know, an Agbada is never open in front. It can be any design, length or pattern but it’s never cut all the way open in front! This is more of a Kimono not an Agbada. Of a truth, the Agbada has metamorphosed grandly over the years but always kept it’s basic design which has come to become it’s sole identity. WHAT WE SEE HERE IS NOT AN AGBADA! So plz @ugomonye.official what do we call this epic masterpiece of yours cos now we are all confused o!"
