This fabric is called "Enimbiri Soja". Do you know the story behind it?
When a person gets angry or finds himself in some unpleasant situation, naturally the eyes turn reddish or appear to be blood–shot. However 'red' your eyes get, it cannot become a fire.
"Ani bere a, εnnso gya, na yεde nsuo adum no." When eyes go red,they do not start a fire that may be quenched with water. The philosophy of this proverb is captured in the saying: ‘Anger hurts its possessor more than its target’. Angry persons are, therefore, advised to look for another kind of water-patience- rather than literal water, to quench the 'redness in the eyes.'
