These people aren't Kanuri. They look like Nigerian Shuwa Arabs. Kanuri are very dark like ethnic Hausa and they tend to have tribal marks. |
Wow Congratulations ![]() Nigerians are continuing to do us proud in the diaspora |
The proper spelling of kpof kpof is puff puff. Putting a k before a p is grammatically incorrect. The fact that this list cannot even spell common puff puff makes me doubt its legitimacy. |
TonyeBarcanista:Yes the the FG has banned cars in Borno state for a short time period in order to combat Boko Haram http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-34345953 |
Wash your face with black soap every night and apply Shea butter afterwards. It worked for me. |
martyns303:The laws in the UK are not the same laws in Nigeria. She will probably have to spend a year in studying to get the right Nigerian certification. |
irynterri: |
Francis5:Mostly Sunni |
mikron:She is more Nigerian than Sierra Leonan. Her father is half Lebanese, half Sierra Leonan while her mother is full Nigerian. So she is 1/2 Nigerian, 1/4 Sierra Leonan and 1/4 Lebanese. |
I like our colours and our flag. It is unique! Nigerians athletes are awalys easier to spot on TV because of our colours. |
Hearme:You're are acting as if we are doing the Northerners a favour by allowing them to join military and paramilitary units. Only the desperate and the poor join them in Nigeria. The only reason that Nigeria's military is highly ranked in Africa is because we have a large number of soldiers. Northerns are doing is a favour by joining the army because of they didn't then no one else will. |
BraniacX:You changed your statement. Initially you said that Lagos has the lowest of indigenous population in Nigeria. This is false. There are definitely other states in Nigeria with a lower total indiginous population such as Bayelsa and Eboniyi. I agree with your new statement that the ratio of indigenous to total residents in Lagos is probably the lowest in Nigeria. Lagos is the only state in Nigeria where the number of people who come to the state is higher than the number of people who are originally from there. This isn't because the Lagos indigenous population is small but because the number of migrants is ridiculously high. Lagos grows at a rate of 600,000 people per year. |
Thank you for this thread OP. It was very interesting and informative ![]() |
cjrane:Don't care ablout Biafra but I just want to correct a few pointst of yours. Ethiopia's GDP is NOT higher than Nigeria's. Nigeria has the highest GDP in Africa. Because of its landlocked nature, Ethiopia also goes through periods of famine every couple of years like the one in 1984 that killed almost half a million people. Ethiopia is currently going through another one right now that has already killed hundreds of people. Not everything is fun and games in a landlocked country. |
Karlovich:Coal is a cheap source of electricity but it causes too much pollution and destroys the ozone layer. Many countries are actually now turning away from it. If you want your grandchildren to actually be able live comfortably on earth in 100 years time, you wouldn't be suggesting it. This is how Beijing looks because of coal

kleek:No they are not. I don't know if you have ever lived abroad before but in America,African Americans are constantly told that they are dumb. There are actually many African Americans who believe that they are dumber than white people because of their skin colour. That is why African immigrants consistently do better than African Americans academically in the US. Most of the black people you see in ivy league colleges are either children of African immigrants or immigrants themselves. I don't know why you created this thread but it surely wasn't to help black people because this would just have the opposite effect. All you have done here is write about stuff that you have no proof on. You say that Africans have low IQs but I explain that it is because of lack of education and I have given you a similar examples in India. I've also given you examples of Nigerians abroad who when they do have a chance to be educated, end up doing just as well and even better than white people academically. I don't know what else you want. Maybe you are just happy to believe that you are one of the unique "intelligent" black people. It's NOT true. They are many black people who are far more intelligent than you and they will be many more in the furture. |
kleek:I'm not speaking from my own personal observations with no proof like you but from actual scientific proof. Studies have shown that when people are constantly told that they are not smart, they start to perform worse in intelligence and academic test. http://study.com/academy/lesson/group-prejudice-jane-elliotts-brown-eyes-vs-blue-eyes-experiment.html When I was growing up no one ever told me I was dumb. I was always led to believe that I could do anything I set my mind to and I excelled I'm school. Being accountability for your own grades is important but our environment and the things that people tell us everyday also affects us. |
Do you know what causes low IQ? Lack of education. How do you expect Nigeria's IQ to be higher than the West when so many people are uneducated. India also has a low average nationwide IQ because they have a lot of uneducated people as well but the ones who live in the West are running circles around white children. Most of the big technological companies are made up of Indian people. If you told an Indian person that he was dumber than the average person, he wouldn't believe you. Africa's main problem is self-hate. When you actually start to believe that you're dumber than someone, it become true. Studies have found that British Nigerians do 20% better in school than the average British kid. Nigerian Americans are also the most educated immigrant group in the US. For the people on this thread, my message to you is that you shouldn't let anyone tell you are dumb because of the colour of your skin. It simply isn't true. |

musicwriter:So how different language textbooks should be created then? 3? 10? Or should we just create 200 different language textbooks for all the languages in Nigeria. Your idea is good but it is not practical. The reason English is our official language is because not everyone speaks the same local language. It would be unfair to force minority groups to speak a major language just because you prefer it that way. And even if we decided to teach in our major languages how would one person who has only learnt Igbo communicate with someone who can only speak Yoruba in business? As long as Nigeria still exist, our official language will continue to be English. Even if Biafra was created with the South South and South East, the official language would also still be English. Just because something works in one country doesn't mean it will work in others. Africa is too diverse a continent to nationwide traditional languages in all the countries. |
That is exactly how my knuckles look and I've never bleached before ![]() They have looked that way since I was a child |
I was looking for this thread and it took me so long to find. I don't usually post but I enjoy reading the discussions here. Why was this moved to the culture section when it has politics in the title ![]() |
jomoh:I school abroad. I'm studying Business with a minor in computer science. |
jomoh:No, I'm still doing my undergrad. I just find this case interesting. |
jomoh:True. |
I'm Yoruba and if I wasn't then I would like to be Edo or ibibio/efik. The bini people have a rich history and culture and I live their traditional clothes. I find the ibibio/Erik culture interesting and their food delicious |
jomoh:Since he was engaging in a illegal activity, he can be charged for that. |
It's not good for babies and their mothers to be drinking powdered milk. What would happen is that their babies would become addicted to it and no longer accept the milk from their own mother and the mothers will have to continue to buy the powdered milk. If they can't afford it then their babies won't haveanything to eat. I wouldn't be surprised if the Ekiti governor's wife was sponsored by a milk company to increase the sales of powdered milk. |
LordEmmyG:It's true, even in the West this still happens. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2014/04/04/grandmother-allegedly-froze-to-death-in-hospital-morgue/ It would be terrified to wake up in a grave and not be able to get out and later die there. |
Confessng:This is why Nigerians, especially northerners need to make sure their daughters are educated. Girls can do great things too and make their parents proud when given the chance. |
Mufasa27:This list is from 2014 so if you are going to blame a President for this then it would be Goodluck Jonathan. The Fulani herdsman issue needs to be addressed and I would consider Buhari's tenure a failure if he doesn't try to curb the Fulani militants and continues to ignore the issue. |
Shymm3x:Thank you for informing me. If this is true then it is very shameful. I can't believe that the federal government would allow their borders to be taken over by Beninese people. I hope the situation is sorted out very quickly. Since it is not about Yoruba people or Yorubaland I will stop posting about it here. |
