Dont forget we have people like M.I amongst us ooo

Ola Phils:

If Nigerian men are the shortest in the world, what will you say about the Philipinos? whom are little taller than a bottle of multina

U guys are not serious. Are Aki & Pawpaw not Nigerians?

Didn't they get national honors? In case u don't know, we are the Dwarf of Africa and we celebrate dwarf-hood!. (im just kidding)

Wikipedia - please be aware that Wikipedia ISN'T A VALID SOURCE on ANYTHING AT ALL.

It is updated by ANYONE - you can open a wikipedia account and list an item.

When I was at Holy Cross College, Notre Dame Indiana and at Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois and at University of Wisconsin-Madison - NONE of the professors would allow us to list a source found on "Wikipedia."

They aren't valid and they aren't credible sources.  You can make up anything and list it on Wikipedia. Anybody, anywhere can put any kind of nonsense, fable, lie, invented fiction and list it as though it is fact.

One of my clients, "Wanakee Pugh" - a very famous model - googled herself and found herself on Wikipedia and some of it was true and alot totally false. She had to send a notification to Wikipedia and it took some weeks before she was allowed to revise the information that was written about her by someone she had never heard of and never met.

Please people do your research.  Accuracy saves headache and time from being wasted.

I implore that you consider a number of things. Comparison to one's friends or co-workers is an anecdotal--not an empirical--reference. If you were a professional basketball player for example, then all of your co-workers (and a fair number of your friends) would all be much taller than average. Or, it could be that you just happen to be acquainted with a fair number of tall people. There are those who are, likewise, friends and acquaintances with those who are less lofty than they. And to compare family members is equally misdirected for the simple reason that there is much shared genetics in consanguineous families.

Either way, height is just a number. It's a measurement that means nothing about you as a person other than how far the top of your head is from the bottom of your feet. It doesn't mean you're more or less intelligent, caring, compassionate or able than anybody else.

dayokanu:
I dont think I agree with that stat

How many men do I know that are below 5ft 4? very few and I know a lot of people above 6ft

How can Nigerians be shorter than Chinese?

It depends on what u call 6 feet

This is completely bull crap. This is like the most inaccurate stats I've ever seen in my life

dominique:
how can the average naija male be 5ft4" when i'm 5/5 and the shortest out of 3 girls. i don't believe the stats.

Using yourself (one person) against the backdrop of information involving millions of people
