There's a thread about a beauty queen on fp and I noticed she got gap-teeth.Someone's comment about it being shocking as it's a "yoruba feature" got me thinking and I realised I've hardly seen a non-yoruba with gap-teeth safe for very few like Tekno, Rita Dominic and Adesua Etomi who doesn't really count since her mum is yoruba and she likely got it from her.
Same applies to dimples.Is there a reason why this features are common to yorubas and rare to other ethnic groups?



This is a harmless question.Am just curious dazall.
P.S: I once read dimples are caused by a deformity.

following.

So gap tooth wey full everywhere for igboland Na im these Sudanese decendants wan monopolize now?

So a gap-tooth is now by tribe ehn Op?

Calm down bruh I never made anything about it until I read said comment.No need to drive a harmless thread tribal before it even started.

The op clearly said it's rare in other ethnic groups, which is true

I dont think it's just Yorubas rhat have gap tooth.

Though, I think it's commoner in black people generally.

Hmmm... I should check that out.

Most white people don't like gap tooth anyway, and don't waste any time before going to see a dentist to fix it. Its only Amber Heard that I've seen with a gap tooth amongst all these White celebrities..

Bro i never said only yorubas have it. I mean its more common to yorubas within nigeria of course. Cant speak for the whole world.

Vayne, bro no one is monopolizing anything here.I clearly mentioned Tekno and co.What i said up there is that it is more common among the yorubas than other ethnic groups.Must u start tribal war on every thread u see?See that one up there.

Ah ah apart from the first comment the rest are objective critisms of the statement. There has been no proof or study carried out on the statement. Somebody said then o.p noticed therefore it is an unshakeable fact that yorubas have the most people with gapped teeth within a population of 160 million people.

I don't care if the o.p is german, iraqi or japanese I will still dispute it ...

Okay....I will get one for you too plus panadol for your headache

A gap is the sign of high sex drive so you tell me why that tribe has it

Op you are Yoruba, so the gap teeth and dimples you see around you are all Yoruba people, but that doesn't make your writeup forgivable tho.

Gap teeth and dimples are all over Nigeria, not specific to any tribe.

My Advice to you is to travel, explore the world farther than your immediate surroundings, your perceptions about so many things would change.

Its funny that when one makes a claim you all assume he doesn't or has never traveled.That's not d case my claim is based on having contact with people from various nigerian tribes as well as living in lagos which is undoubtedly the most diverse state in nigeria. Am not disputing the fact that people from other tribes have gap-teeth or dimples but both are most common to yorubas than any other ethnic group.

Begin show pictures of KNOWN ibo women with gap-tooth, sharp sharp!

padiga047:
you have traveled around and the only people outside your tribe you can recount that have gap teeth are Techno, Rita Dominic and Adesua Etomi.


What tells me you are lying?

Do u have comprehension challenge?You expect me to start namedropping regular people no one here knows or putting up their pix without their permission?I mentioned famous people as examples.Its not rocket science.Fact remains this are rare features in other tribes.I could put up several pix of celebrities with these features but i stuck with just 3 pictures.Its called a case study/sample.How hard is that for you?
