tpia@: My sweetheart, things dry oooo. But with you by my side we can surmount mountains kandiikane: 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. |

here are some clearer pictures of seyi olofinjana [img]http://www.cardiffcityfc.co.uk/javaImages/35/ae/0,,10335~9088565,00.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.stokecityfc.com/javaImages/61/df/0,,10310~3727201,00.jpg[/img] he looks hausa because he has a long jawline, that's all. so? what's unusual about some yorubas looking like hausa? |
Re: What Is "nigerian Look" Stop The Ignorance Already! by dayokanu(m): 5:44pm On Aug 05, 2011 |
tpia@: 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 1 Like |
Re: What Is "nigerian Look" Stop The Ignorance Already! by kandiikane(m): 5:46pm On Aug 05, 2011 |
exotik:So now you are saying you can class someone from where they are from by looks. . . Well done. . dayokanu: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. . |
Re: What Is "nigerian Look" Stop The Ignorance Already! by dayokanu(m): 5:47pm On Aug 05, 2011 |
tpia@: Why did you tell kandikaane his name?? Seeing Seyi Olofinjana on the streets of Senegal how could you have known he isnt a native or How is he different from Akon she posted as disticntly Senegalese? |
Re: What Is "nigerian Look" Stop The Ignorance Already! by lagcity(m): 5:47pm On Aug 05, 2011 |
tpia@: oh BS! that seyi guy could be mistaken for IGBO YORUBA OR any other tribe in nigeria |
Re: What Is "nigerian Look" Stop The Ignorance Already! by kandiikane(m): 5:49pm On Aug 05, 2011 |
At dayo, that guy looks Senegalese or Gambian. . Might be wrong. . I have a picture of someone similar to his look. . |
Re: What Is "nigerian Look" Stop The Ignorance Already! by tpia5: 5:49pm On Aug 05, 2011 |
9jaganja: 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. |
Re: What Is "nigerian Look" Stop The Ignorance Already! by exotik: 5:51pm On Aug 05, 2011 |
kandiikane: lol, dat was not wot i said. i said akon amongst nigerians would not be spotted as a senegalese by nigerians. |
Re: What Is "nigerian Look" Stop The Ignorance Already! by Nobody: 5:52pm On Aug 05, 2011 |
lol!!! "Nigerian look" my asss!!!!!!! Tpia and kandikane please hang out in Nigeria a little longer!! |
Re: What Is "nigerian Look" Stop The Ignorance Already! by tpia5: 5:53pm On Aug 05, 2011 |
@ 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? |
Re: What Is "nigerian Look" Stop The Ignorance Already! by tpia5: 5:54pm On Aug 05, 2011 |
exotik: he wouldnt be spotted by you and 9jaganja that's for sure. |
Re: What Is "nigerian Look" Stop The Ignorance Already! by kandiikane(m): 5:56pm On Aug 05, 2011 |
exotik:But yo said he looks hausa. .So what is your problem. .You just classed him by his looks. . |
Re: What Is "nigerian Look" Stop The Ignorance Already! by exotik: 5:57pm On Aug 05, 2011 |
tpia@: and for sure, u will spot him no doubt. |
Re: What Is "nigerian Look" Stop The Ignorance Already! by tpia5: 6:02pm On Aug 05, 2011 |
lagcity: 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? |
Re: What Is "nigerian Look" Stop The Ignorance Already! by tpia5: 6:05pm On Aug 05, 2011 |
chei!!!!! |
Re: What Is "nigerian Look" Stop The Ignorance Already! by exotik: 6:06pm On Aug 05, 2011 |
kandiikane: 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. |

Re: What Is "nigerian Look" Stop The Ignorance Already! by Nobody: 6:12pm On Aug 05, 2011 |
tpia@: lol I could say women attribute looks to nationality lol!! |
Re: What Is "nigerian Look" Stop The Ignorance Already! by kandiikane(m): 6:16pm On Aug 05, 2011 |
exotik: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 |
@Exotik, where do you this this one is from?
|
Re: What Is "nigerian Look" Stop The Ignorance Already! by tpia5: 6:20pm On Aug 05, 2011 |
9jaganja does this person look nigerian to you |
Re: What Is "nigerian Look" Stop The Ignorance Already! by tpia5: 6:23pm On Aug 05, 2011 |
what about this one? Nigerian? |
Re: What Is "nigerian Look" Stop The Ignorance Already! by kandiikane(m): 6:27pm On Aug 05, 2011 |
That boy looks ghanian. . Got a similar nose to essien |
Re: What Is "nigerian Look" Stop The Ignorance Already! by tpia5: 6:29pm On Aug 05, 2011 |
^^he's ghanaian. |
Re: What Is "nigerian Look" Stop The Ignorance Already! by exotik: 6:30pm On Aug 05, 2011 |
kandiikane: 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. |
Re: What Is "nigerian Look" Stop The Ignorance Already! by tpia5: 6:31pm On Aug 05, 2011 |
9jaganja: no, i think most women are looking with their two eyes while the men arent. ie the men are looking with something else. reema ko, rihanna ni. |
