About time Africans feel proud of themselves
It's great to have an African leader with such great and wonderful VISION of his country, very contented, and deliberately striving to restore the dignity of his people 2 years down the line it's Marvelous even to hear the name of a 34 years then 36 years today, changes that are visible . President who doesn't talk but his actions are there for the WORLD to SEE ,he doesn't need to LIE. OR TALK. GOD BLESS YOU AND THE PEOPLE OF BURKINABE FOR BELIEVING IN A YOUNG VISIONARY LEADER.
I have been waiting for this move for many years. It is definitely about time,
The Nigerians judges looks so ridiculous in them.. Remind me of a sunk 😂
Steve Bantu Biko reminds us “the most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed”
This is GREAT!!👍🏾 😊 down with colonialism. 👎🏾
Yes Yes Yes it is very important no more wigs
This should have been done a long time ago
Ibrahim Traoré Ibrahim Traoré Ibrahim Traoré!!!!
This is a awesome development for African people in general
Yes, is a disgrace that they still use those wigs. They can buy it only in uk because they only make them. That means, Africa still help them to grow their economy. They should use their own local stuff that symbolizes their own authority and readiness to uphold their own laws.Good job !
Africa is waking up
GO BURKINA FASO. Support from African Americans.
Forward Ever, backward Never!
Good job Burkina Faso . God Bless your leadership.
Every decision our leader makes I & I will never question.
❤❤❤❤❤❤✊️✊️✊️👍👍👍👏👏👏💯thank you I.T.
Great...
I'm based in the UK and work within the British legal system and I couldn't agree more with this decision by our brave, mighty brothers and sisters in Burkina Faso.
Yes!
I agree with Ibrahim Traore. That is the way it should be because it is Burkina Faso not the U K. They should use traditional African attire. Bravo, bravo Ibrahim Traore. Watch out for Trumpf.
No more wigs!!
We are Africans so time to ditches all this Colonial Wigs end the rest.
Nice one
Good, no more Western hairstyles or affectations of dress. Let's take this to its logical conclusion in every sphere.😅
Get rid of suits, colonial wigs and all the history and geography books replacing them with real African history books of our ancestors who fought for our land and learning about African geography which makes sense than learning about history that has no importance to the African culture.
it is in english African speaking countries that people are wearing wigs at the court. in burkina faso and all the African french speaking counties do not wear wigs in the court room. but they do wear the long robe.
Thank you for the clarification. It’s great to hear that they have chosen to wear African designs going forward;
Not all English African speaking countries wear wigs in court
It's about time, those blond wigs look ridiculous.✔
Great Move
HIS EXCELLENCY IBRAHIM TRAORE
It Was Long OVERDUE
It's about time they stop looking like the British. Be themselves. Now it's South Africa's turn.
❤
In France, and by extension in Francophone countries, wigs have never been part of legal attire, except perhaps in centuries gone by. It would be interesting why Burkina Faso (a former Fench colony later known as Upper Volta) would wear wigs. Many countries in Africa formerly under British rule have ditched this accessory: Tanzania in 1965, South Africa upon becoming a republic in the early 60s, Namibia and Kenya (albeit haltingly) and there is news that Malawi is about to do so. Could the creator clarify?
true i said it in my comment. no wigs in African french speaking countries. i never saw it at the justice court only African english speaking countries wear wigs in the court room.
Good
The scales of colonialism are aregradually falling off complained about the comical appearance so out of place
YOU HAVE LEADERS AND FOLLOWERS. PRESIDEN.T CAPTAIN TRAORE IS THE LEADER ALL AFRICAN COUNTRIES NEED TO MAKE THE CONTINENT A SUPERPOWER ECONOMICALLY
Why were they even wearing those wigs?😂😂😂
Ghanaian lawyers still use these🇬🇭 colonial wigs.😢
These people 🙏🏿🌍😮
Bravo. Read that former British colonies in the Caribbean have long tossed the expensive horse hair wigs
Colonial wigs in Burkina Faso. What colonial wigs? Burkina Faso was a French colony before 1960 and French did not wear wigs, so which colony did they got the wigs from?
This is strange… whighs were worn (still are) in British courts. Burkina Faso was a French colony, where this kind of carnival attire was never a custom. Is there any evidence ? What troll has invented this ?
Why would this be a a brave move and how does this benefit the ordinary citizen?
First of all, Uniforms are a very big business, so if one has to wear a uniform to work and this uniform must be sourced locally and using local material it means there are lots of local tailors, designers, weavers, machinists, etc that are going to be in business. This is genius. I wish I had thought of it before. It's very clever because local tailors are making very good money making uniforms for schools, can imagine what a contract with hospitals, police, judiciary, and other professions will mean to professionals in this industry? Immense amounts of money also remember he has blocked the Chinese from this supply chain so this is really good for Burkina Faso. This is actually not new, it happens in places like France Italy and even the UK. For example, only champagne from the Champagne region is allowed to be called Champagne and it has to be produced in France, do you know what that means for the French economy? This is going to be huge for the Burkina Faso economy and it can only get better before the whole world want to buy from them. Watch this space. This is not a political decision this is purely economics.
@pamelajudithrwanyarare8429 Pamela in all sincerety I wish Burkino Faso well but this post was about doing away with the western attire for judges. Besides knocking the west how does this help the ordinary citizen?
