Culture / Nigerians Is There A Word For Carribeans In Our Languages? by flowerpower23(f): 8:32pm On Nov 20, 2022 |
Is there a word for Caribbeans in any of our languages? Particularly, Yoruba or Igbo? I know akata refers to African Americans and so I was wondering if there were any words that refer to the Caribbean of the Diaspora. I think there was a word involving the sugar they had to pick but I'm not sure. |

I am Igbo and I would like to gain greater understanding of the word akata as many say its a slur but others say different. Some say it means wild cat, stray cat, lost or whatever. So what does it actually mean? Please only Yoruba people answer. |

Anthony Joshua is mixed I believe. Do you think fairness equals beauty? The ones you posted from Nigeria look better in my opinion. ednut1: |

You're right about Osas. She is stunning. Funny enough, when I saw her, I thought she had been raised in Nigeria. Thats how much I believe there is a certain look that those in Nigeria have opposed to those raised abroad. Osas may just be the exception. The nasolabial folds thing is interesting because here in abroad alot of Nigerians have very prominent ones. Doesn't always make the person unattractive persay but I think I prefer the look without it . Here's some more examples of Nigerians raised abroad with these traits.

Well I was just throwing the weather out as a possible reason. You're right it may not be that. But either way I have noticed that Nigerians in Nigeria tend to look better than those raised abroad and I wonder why. MufasaLion: 1 Like |
