In Nigeria we hear all sorts of stereotypes such as Igbo men are smart, Calabar girls are good in bed, Ekiti has the most professors, Yoruba people are dirty, Igbos are shifty, Northerners are wicked, Benue girls are promiscuous, benin girls are ashewos, Yorubas are backstabbers, Anambra girls control their husbands and so on.

How true are these stereotypes.

Igbo's are smart? first time hearing this. Anyway, stereotypes are not true, it is just a propaganda machine.

Yorubas are accommodating to a fault. This particular stereotype [about being overly liberal] is true.

The dirty stuff is a lie spread by sick internet trolls. Nigerians as a whole can be considered dirty- trying to pin it on yoruba is an embarassing capital fail on the part of the gossip spreader.

Yorubas are book smart
Igbos are street smart

Hausa's are honest
Calabar people are razz
Isoko/urhobo men are promiscous

This is also another stereotype being spread online by NL's Yoruba propaganda machine.
