how is business.

My sweetheart, things dry oooo. But with you by my side we can surmount mountains kiss kiss

kandiikane:

lool, dayo shame on you, shame on you. .

Seriously, If you come to Nigeria and you shut your mouth no one would be able to differentaite you from any other girl on the street.

Per the topic. I dont agree that looks are per country maybe per subregion e.g the West African look, the East African look, the Southern African look.

E.g The whites split us arbitrarily, Those in Benin/Togo could have easily been Nigerians and those in Calabar/ Ebonyi could have easily been camerounians if only the Europeans woke up differently on that morning of 1922.

Some features like heights e.g Savanah negroes are noticeably taller than forest negroes

E.g Negros can be split into Mandingo looking and the bantu looking ones bantu are shorter, fairer more rotund while mandingo are skinnier, taller and Darker

@ kandi, and if akon wore a babanriga and went down to eire street where hausas change dollar in my city in nigeria. i dont think he would be spotted as a senegalese by anybody even by the hausas.

Mandingo looking are the typical tall dark skinny ones mainly in the Savanah or plains e.g people from Mali, Senegal Sudan etc

Bantu are more of the forest people shorter, rounder and not as dark they are mainly from Congo

So now you are saying you can class someone from where they are from by looks. . .

Well done. .

So which one is the mandingo? But anyways, I did stand out. . It is hard to place me to a certain area. .But yeah Nigeria, congo and East Africa is what people will say based of my skintone or features when I say I am African. .

first of all what do you mean by shiny dark look.


secondly, its been repeated over and over again on this forum [for those who dont know and have no way of finding out], that many sudanese look nigerian. Check abadba's many threads about sudanese people.

thirdly, if the girl isnt pure nubian or pure dinka, she might look nigerian.

@ seyi olofinjana photo

kindly read the thread from the beginning and note where people pointed out the majority factor.

seyi olofinjana has a long jaw and is tall and dark, therefore he might be mistaken for hausa by some.

in any case, fulanis migrated from the senegal region, so what exactly is the problem here?

lagcity:

these ppl tire me oo. how is it a nigerian look when beninois, Sierra Leonians and ivorians look the same? i can understand if ppl are talking about west african look but nigerian look? doesn't make sense. 

does this guy look nigerian to you?





secondly, a lot of sierra leonians are of nigerian descent [pre-nigerian, whatever], due to the slave trade. This is basic stuff which is supposed to have been taught in elementary school in nigeria, let's just assume you werent raised there.

thirdly, isnt ivory coast fighting a war over immigration?

yeah because he can pass off as hausa/nigerian coz there is nothing like a "nigerian look"
Re: What Is "nigerian Look" Stop The Ignorance Already! by tpia5: 6:07pm On Aug 05, 2011
from what i'm observing on this thread, it seems men may have a harder time distinguishing faces, probably because they're staring at the b.reasts and butt, while women seem to be more discerning.

If you can class him as hausa that means that means its his looks. If you meet him in the streets for the first time and you notice he looks hausa won't you think he is Nigerian?
Re: What Is "nigerian Look" Stop The Ignorance Already! by kandiikane(m): 6:19pm On Aug 05, 2011

noticed i said if he wore a babanriga and amongst hausas? he can pass of as one

but if he is shirtless and playing football amongst ijaws somewhere in bayelsa? he can pass of as ijaw.

and he can pass of as any nigerian tribe in the streets of lagos. his looks is not perculiar to a specific tribe.

no, i think most women are looking with their two eyes while the men arent.

ie the men are looking with something else.
