AgapeCharis:lol do you know that fufu is a twi word btw? Fufu origin is from Ghana by the Akan ethnic group and also found in Ivory Coast (Akan ethnic group originating from Ghana).Settlers and migrants from Togo and Ivory Coast discovered it and modified it in their accord. It features in Guinean cuisine, Cameroonian cuisine, as well as Nigerian cuisine. Also the Carribeans eat fufu too. Saying fufu is from Nigeria is akin to saying Moi Moi is from Ghana. Jollof rice origin is from the wollof ethnic group. 1 Like |

Fulaman198: Plus the fact that they are nomadic meaning when convenient you can claim another nationality and so therefore, it is hard for me to accept any fulani as being Nigerian as they think fulani first, fulani second, fulani third and so on irrespective of what passport they hold and this is evidenced by the fact that in 1985, buhari campaigned for and voted against a Nigerian of igbo origin in favour of a fulani man of Nigerese origin at the OAU conference for the post of OAU sec-gen, making him the first if not only head of state ever to vote against his own country in modern international politics. Implying that if Nigeria were to go to war against Niger or Chad tomorrow, your loyalty to Nigeria can't be vouched for. Do you need me to get clearer than that ? |

mrham03:Maybe the popular name for it as it is called different things in different parts of Nigeria! In my part, it is called santana. So no, I still don't agree with you. |

BraniacX:I remember this same topic was once on another thread and the conclusion was that what Nigerians called fufu is completely different to what we Ghanaians call fufu. This was actually a funny thread https://www.nairaland.com/1280089/keri-hilson-makes-bowl-fufu/7 |

V0lv0:Hahaha Ok Are you Ghanaian BTW? |
Re: Where Did Nigerians Get That Superiority Complex From? by Nobody: 9:42am On Mar 16, 2015 |
V0lv0:This should be true because I know my great grand parents in a typical village hundreds of years back ate "our own fufu" called akpu as their local food. |
Re: Where Did Nigerians Get That Superiority Complex From? by V0lv0(f): 9:50am On Mar 16, 2015 |
AgapeCharis:yeah akpu is not our fufu. Our fufu looks completely different. Akpu for us looks like our Banku. |

holyfather:Nigerians when will you get it. you have nothing to offer Africans anymore. you might think you are giants in Africa, but to other Africans, you are the perfect definition of everything bad. you are the worst case scenario of any economy that wants to become the richest... so you can go ahead feeling superior inside your country. but once you go outside, just know you no have lessons to to offer anyone |

Kafrican:That's perfectly correct. They even hide their nationality when on foreign land.They can only make noise in their pathetic good for nothing country. They are treated as slaves and criminals wherever they go.FUNNY pple.Those in Ghana are like angels so I was even surprised to see them insulting other countries on this forum.nigeria of all country's ; nigerians of all people. Ain't surprised because it happens everywhere. Somalis are even worst. |

Re: Where Did Nigerians Get That Superiority Complex From? by hijodedios: 2:43pm On Mar 16, 2015 |
Well me thinks it has to do with nigerians been concious of their rights, they dont allow anyone play with their intelligence'i remember sometimes in 2007 i had a little misunderstanding with some policemen in spain,they took me to their station and were trying to intimidate me to sign some papers giving them permition to deporte me back to Nigeria,i told them i was not going to sign anything untill My lawyer shows up,when they saw i was not gonna cooperate with them they reported the mátter to thier superior who then called me and asked why i didnt want to sign the paper.i told him i dont understand what as written there and therefore cannot agree with what i dont understand,i asked him to interpret what they wrote in english for me and he said he doesnt speak english,then he asked me which country am i from.when i said Nigeria he just called his boys in and told them to call My lawyer for me,right there in My presence he told them that anytime they detain anybody from Nigeria that they should make sure they follow due process that nigerians are not like the rest of the africans. 2 Likes |
