Nigerian media personality Ebuka Obi-Uchendu has called on Nigerian politicians and public officials to adopt traditional outfits when representing the country abroad.

As a renowned fashion icon and the host of Big Brother Naija, Ebuka’s suggestion comes as part of a broader conversation on showcasing Nigeria’s rich cultural heritage on the global stage.

In a tweet shared via X (formerly Twitter), the television personality expressed his belief that traditional Nigerian attire is an ideal representation of the country’s vibrant culture.

“I think Nigerian politicians and officials should wear traditional attire even more when they’re out of the country,” he wrote, explaining the need for Nigerian leaders to adopt their cultural roots when engaging with the international community.
