everyone wants to say igbos look like this and yorubas look like this, but in the end of the day you all look alike and are the only ones that see the differences.
the only thing that indicates 'tribal look' is the superficial things you guys put on like tribal marks or some distinct traditional wears. other then that you all look the same.


if you don't believe me tell me what tribe these people are from

you apes couldn't tell me where any of these ppl 'originate' from because the fact of the matter is you all look alike and want to point the finger at someone else and say you're better then them based on 'tribe' to compensate for your lack of personal achievements in life.

at least in the US the blacks and whites can tell each other apart from a mile away.

and we're hear arguing if goodluck jonathan is ijaw or igbo lol





who was arguing if ronald reagan was white or black?

goodluck jonathan is black lol, end of story.

nice post , the girls are fine , do you have their email add or fone number (not the one in black and white pic)

Why not?

what an adorable little baby.


@ op did you just add the photo of kb's alledged wife into that mix.

abi you're kb?

who the hell's KB?

You think Fulanis and Kanuris look like other Nigerians?


Keep deceiving yourself.

I'm igbo and have 5 relatives anyone can easily call fulani or kanuri by look


anyone can find an igbo or yoruba that looks like abacha who is kanuri


and if ppl didn't know El Rufai was fulani, you could easily say he looks like any member of any tribe

So you actually think the average Fulani or Kanuri, or the majority of them look like those two individuals?



And the very fact that you had to use Igbos as an example of people that could, in multiple instances, look Fulani or Kanuri just reinforces my point.


Stop deceiving yourself.

As a non nigerian, i don't think nigerians look alike, behold exhibit A and B.

all you people have done is talk about fulani and kanuri



i persent fulani and kanuri men that look like they can be a part of any ijaw village and you're still in doubt.



what feature does this man possess that it's ripe in Yoruba Igbo Igala or Tiv land?


I can name you 20 igbo head masters that look like this man.







i believe nigerians on an individual basis look different, but grouping them look wise is vague.

there's A LOT of dark igbos, and light igbos, dark yoruba and light yoruba, this is the same in every tribe

there are igbos and yoruba with straight noses like northerners are typically said to have, and northerners with round noses that southerners are said to have

you all look alike lol.

Just give it up, no ones buying it, even non-Nigerians can. You can't tell the difference because you're not Nigerian. There are exceptions in every group, but an average market woman/man in Nigeria can tell when someone is their family, even some non-Africans can tell Nigerian groups apart. If all Nigerians look alike, then the whole of West Africa looks alike with your reasoning. What is with all this thinking in colonial borders?

the point is you may have some individual among them that may look like that, which is uncommon to the other ethnic groups in nigeria. I am wondering how may yoruba look similar to that little girl and man?

Here is a hausa video, I think the lady is probably tuareg or shuwa arab and the guy is fulani extraction, do he looks like the average igbo or yoruba. This is a nigerian video.

Does the guy in 0:28-0:32 looks like your average ibo or yoruba, If i may ask? Your statement was all nigerians look basically alike, i beg to differ. It is like saying that all sudanese look basically the same, but as we knows their is a great difference from north and south sudan.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duTaW4Wb2v0&feature=player_embedded
north sudan


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4EUL8xDlkE
south sudan

do we look alike as well, by your logic. I have to admit it is a contrast in sudan, but in nigeria case you may have individuals from different groups that may resemble each others, but do you logically believe that is the case for everyone in the group, i notice that the fulanis are more varied than southern groups in your country, indeed the people you posted, look no different than the yoruba or igbo, in which i agree, but does that apply to all fulanis obviously not. In other words, nt everyone looks alike. I must admit the little girl look like a typical Northern Sudanese, which destroy the myth that all nigerians look alike.

fulani man from northern nigerian i think he is a actor

Depends. I have two younger sisters and a female first cousin that we call fulanis. There are some Bini and Esan boys I know that you would swear have Arab blood. The mere fact that we even refer to these people and others that look like them as different from the norm shows that there are some particular physical attributes within a community. But now and then some defy it.

^^and what exactly precludes northern looking southerners from having arab or white blood?

the fact that they might be unaware they have any?


@ topic


no they dont.

the whole point is that you said, SOME, if you grow up in a fulani, hausa etc. house you would know that we have features that make us unique, its not some

^^^ You actually look like one of my cousins.

I can see where the OP is coming from - but each individual tribe has a stereotyped look. Stereotypes have some basis in truth, I guess.

prove it first

I lived in Kano and schooled in Maiduguri(how I miss the place). I know the so called Hausa/fulani/Kanuri/shuwa. Minus tribal marks and attires they look just like many people in the south.
And right there in Benin city I had a neighbour we called 'Ethiopia'due to her physique colour and looks.

no they dont.

If Northern looking southerners have Arab blood then Arab looking is not exclusive to Northerners.My point all along.
