98% True! Tested and confirmed. cool
What is NOT true is that they are all promiscous. That one na lie

Every ibo girl likes money , which girl nor like money?
99.9997% true. Tested and confirmed cool

Edo girls go to Italy for prostitution

30-50% true, partially confirmed (but not tested) by interaction with indigenes and residents of the state. Also supported by available statistic.
What is not true though is the thought that only edo girls do this.

Stupid OP,how do you know Tiv people gave their wives out to visitors. It never happened.
Heard it was because anytime they had a visitor they normally gave them wrapper to cover in the night,of course their wives wrappers and in the morning some of the visitors will tie the wrapper and come out so people thought since they were tying the lady's wrapper they must have slept with her.
Terrible misconception,even from op.

Nigeria is a country blessed with soooo many ethnic groups and they do differ in soooo many ways.
Amongst these ethnic groups are the Yorubas, Efiks.......okay we know all this tongue
So here are some common misconceptions about Nigerians by Nigerians... Yup within us..

1. Every Calabar person eats dog meat
Oh well.... Dog meat really is a specialty in Calabar but C'mon not everyone would eat their pet.. cheesy

2. In TIV land, men show they value their friends by offering them their wives as kola when they come visiting
Yup! It was practised in TIV land oh so long ago.. But in this generation I guess not..

3. Only Northerners and Westerners have Tribal Marks
Nah... In the south, tribal marks are common.. I think the story behind most is "Casting out Ogbanje" I no know ooo.. lipsrsealed

4. Every Ogoni person is a descendant of Ken Saro Wiwa
We wish.... Trust me I know... Every time I say.. "I'm Ogoni" someone goes "Oh!!!! Saro Wiwa's Sister" Really tho?? undecided
Most people don't even know where Ogoni is... Na for Rivers state ooo.

5. Everyone with the same surname is related
Okay... That someones surname is Same as another doesn't mean they are related.. They might even be from different tribes. I've heard when gossip goes as "So the boy surname na Adeyemi? No wonder e get work for here becos oga na him broda" Oga's surname is Adeyemi.. Smh

6. Everybody is from the most popular town in their state
So every one from Delta state is a Warri sombori... No ooo.. Or that every Cross Riverian is a Calabar person... Or that every Rivers pikin na Ikwerre? No ooo... There are other LGA's too..

Well that's all I can remember for now... You can add yours.. wink
Every rich hausa man na Alhaji while d poor ones are mallam

in every rule there is always an/some exceptions, so I get u very well. I personally don't believe in any of those general beliefs because I see them as hasty conclusions, I rate people individually.
