Top 5 Deep-rooted Stereotypes Among Nigerian Ethnic Groups by ragiluhivo(m): 4:16pm On Sep 27, 2015
Here is deep-seated mistrust among the Nigerian ethnic groups, much of it baseless

and unfounded. Each ethnic group has stereotypical conception of the others.

1. A Yoruba man is always cowardly – he rants and boasts but flees once there is

trouble.

2. Every Hausa/Fulani (including every Northerner) as a daft and dumb “gworo-

chewing,” dagger-loving “aboki,” who has only two types of business: cattle-rearing

and security work. Every Northerner must speak English upside down with a ridiculous

accent.

3. A Igbo man is not to be trusted as they are likely to do anything for money

4. the Warri/Benin area is peopled by only thieves and toughies. First-time

travellers to that area would actually try to clutch their bags more closely to

avoid loss

5. Everybody from Cross River and Akwa Ibom States (described ignorantly as Calabar)

must be a house boy or house girl, or a lover of dog meat (404), and must speak with

a peculiar accent, pronouncing “J” as “Y”, while every “Calabar” woman must be a sex

machine.
