In the era when there was virtually no clothes,shoes and sundry,these set of people must be really rich to afford them and going by the hair styles some of them are spotting it's obviously true.
How we have evolved

Big boys in of what?
Big boys my foot.
All what qualified them as so called big boys came from the white man's world...even the camera that preserved the memory belongs to the white.
So what then made them to be called big boys when they all lived a borrowed life?

The colonialists made them look so inferior, that some had to alter the look of their natural hair to look like that of the colonialist. To them,
the Blackman's afro was an evil that needed to be purged out together with their culture and community organization.
