Those Nigerian stats are based on a study conducted in a small village in Nigeria were all the people were suffering from a bone defect. Those stats are as good as rubbish, they’re not based on any legitimate data, and anyone with an ounce of sense would know that they’re false.

Moreover, based on those height averages, I must be a freak of nature; moreover, I’ve NEVER met a 5ft 4 Nigerian man before!

If you want to know the real height of the average Nigerian male, just look at our football team. At the last world cup, the Nigerian National Team was the second tallest at the event!

I just want to know why she hates Ekiti so much nau

Nnenna1: I came across this interesting piece in wikipedia about the average human height per country in the world, and did a tally of the reported heights from Some African countries. See below:

Male Female

Nigeria 1.638 m (5 ft 4 1⁄2 in) 1.578 m (5 ft 2 in)

Mali 1.713 m (5 ft 7 1⁄2 in) 1.604 m (5 ft 3 in)

Cameroon 1.706 m (5 ft 7 in) 1.613 m (5 ft 3 1⁄2 in)

Cote D'Ivoire 1.701 m (5 ft 7 in) 1.591 m (5 ft 2 1⁄2 in)

Ghana 1.695 m (5 ft 6 1⁄2 in) 1.585 m (5 ft 2 1⁄2 in)

Gambia 1.680 m (5 ft 6 in) 1.578 m (5 ft 2 in)

Malawi 1.660 m (5 ft 5 1⁄2 in) 1.550 m (5 ft 1 in)

South Africa 1.690 m (5 ft 6 1⁄2 in) 1.590 m (5 ft 2 1⁄2 in)


Nigerian men came out to be the shortest in this list. I find this a little strange - obviously there are issues that undermine the data (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average_height). And yes, I know it's Wikipedia. But hmm,

If you look at the source even Chinese, Vietnamese and Mexican men one-upped Nigerians.

Excuses I've read from Nlers about the stat:

1. It was conducted in a small village
2. It was conducted in 1994-1996 (even though the data is recent), even so, I guess 12 years later, evolution kicked in abi?
3. They were not Nigerian men, just village leprechauns lmao

3 years ago, you were 5'4 dammit. . .

The people documented were well above their "growing" period, I'm still growing in my very early 20s.
And 12 years later, 18 years later are you saying some kind of tropical evolution hit Nigeria to make ALL the men above 6'0?

I think a new case study should be in place and since you were working with a 16-18 year old data, the title of the thread should have been

"Why were Nigerian Men So Short And Twiggy".

How old were you when this study was conducted? 5?
