Now that I have your attention (hopefully, sorry Yoruba people), why is that "Nigerians" are always going on about how different each of their ethnicities are (Igbo, Bini, Efik, Yoruba etc, )? Anyway in this post, will it be possible for my dear "Nigerians" to talk positive about an ethnicity in Nigeria that they are not descended from and also talk about similarities in culture, for example 'children' in most Igbo dialects is umu and in Yoruba it's Omo! In Igbo 'what' is 'gini'(?) and in Yoruba it's 'Kini'! wow we really aren't that different are we? I read a funny thing somewhere and this guy was talking about how "Nigerian" peoples always talked about how they were Jews, Egyptians and everything else under the sun but West "African", but they wouldn't talk or admit they they are related to each other. shame  sad
