In Nigeria, there are 3 main regional languages. I'm sure if I go to Kenya, I'll hear more Swahili than English likewise if you go to Nigeria, you'll hear the regional languages than you would English. In Nigeria, the National news are broadcasted in Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa and English. Even an int. org BBC recognize this, that's why they've officially list Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, and Pidgin as their broadcast languages. What other African countries has 4 of its languages added to BBC?

Actually the first idea of independence for Africa to be conceived by a black man was from Herbert Macaulay, a Nigerian who influenced Nnamdi Azikiwe of Nigeria and Nkrumah of Ghana.
You are right though there was the division as the Northerners had some arguements and refused to sign for independence and it was delayed for another four years else we should have gained independence before Ghana.

TayserMahiri:
Yea exactly bro, I also have a Maasai shuka that I swaggify with

genieluv:
Yaaah true.

We in Nigeria /West Africa had numerous Kingdoms & Empires. So, i think this is where we had a comparative advantage over you guys.

**** Buh i heard of a Kingdom in Zimbabwe, buh in South Africa?? Was there?

Another thing is that i don't think one's traditional clothes must be very developed before he takes pride in them.
>>> Your fellow Bantu, Fally Ipupa from Congo proved this wrong by flaunting his Bantu culture full scale in his music ELOKO OYO. Have u seen it? I love the music. This song will surely receive nominations this year on african awards.

TayserMahiri:
If I may ask, do Nigerians consider themselves more traditional than the Khoisan because they dont wear much clothes?

mtis:
Yap

genieluv:
Great.
Are they nilotes? If yes, why didn't the Bantus copied some clothing styles from their nilotic n cushitic neighbours?

TayserMahiri:
I heard Nigerians couldnt dare face Oyinbo in a war of independence.

genieluv:
Now i see!.

*** So, how come the South african bantus developed better clothes than the rest of you East african bantus?

>>> Some west african tribes were almost unclad as the Kikuyus were, buh they later joined the trend of those who had better clothes. The less civilized tribes were conquered n colonized by the civilized kingdoms n empires.
I guess we influenced ourselves in West Africa.

Another thing that helped some of us west africans develop better clothes was the slave trade with Europeans from the 15th century.

South Africans, Zimbabweans e.t.c still do traditional weddings n all manners of traditional festivals.
Their tradition also never leaves their music, can't you see that they have produced some of the greatest african singers that represent african culture? The likes of Miriam Makeba, Black Mambazo, Chaka chaka, Brenda fassie e.t.c

****please, no basis of comparison between them n you guys.

Shaytun:
Exactly.

This thread was created to show that Kenya is Better than Nigeria and Instead the opposite happened.

genieluv:
Yaah am ignorant cos your excuse looks so cheap n has been busted.
****See, i do not care about you guys (Kenyans), you guys should just learn to stay away from the lovely conversations on African culture between lovers of African culture on this thread n stay away from giving flimsy excuses about how the whites who intended to settle in your country made you loose your culture whereas there are other Africans with more whites in their country who are still proud n celebrate their african cultures to the fullest.
You can be more Europeanized than the Europeans n that's your business @PissedYagami

>>>>At least i have the beautiful n lovely Ethiopians to keep me in good company on this thread.
Good riddance to bad rubbish!

PissedYagami:
What do you expect from a person whose main contribution to this thread is Nigerian clothes? Thats why QueenofNepal called her out too

genieluv:
Lol @ PissedYagami, buh didn't the whites also wanted to stay in Uganda, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Namibia et al? Buh the people of these countries apparently aren't as westernized as you Kenyans.

freshest4live:
Why are you guys arguing about animals? Who got more animals than the other? Really??

freshest4live:
This thread is so long because the Ghanians and South Africans were also involved at some point, and if there are Gambians here that thread would also be very long. This is because contrary to what many think, Nigerians love other African foreigners, and would want to discuss with them and even playfully tease some( especially the Ghanians). l'm also happy to chat with Ethiopians and Tanzanians here and even an Algerian, it is rare to find such people.

TayserMahiri:
You right. We would have to resort to bad mouthing like our brodas do when asskicked. Fortunately (or unfortunately ) was told they wont elect Malema which means their economy might do well in the next years. We got to hit double digits

He's barely moved out of his village. He's probably the genius in his locality.

TayserMahiri:
Perhaps our wildebeasts are more in number than the total of their big sized animals

NairobiWalker:
Brainless indeed.
