what is d ex's username?
answer the question and I will give you the solution to your problems!!!

coogar:
so they are not the same as you?

maybe if I joined an African American forum,
I will be arguing that Africans are just as "fill in the blank" as African americans. to fit with d akatas

but that will never happen lai lai

onila:
NO NEED TO ARGUE jenifa -true!

I remember when some idiotic Jamaican got angry when I called her an African. she told me shut up and that Jamaicans and Carribeans are different from Africana because they  are mixed, more diluted far different from Africans

the Carribeans and AA's know the truth

she said AFRICANS are UGLY? carribeans and AA's are more beautiful? so if these blacks came from the same West Africa and central Africa why are they more beautiful according to the id-iot?

^ haha i'm just laughing in my corner.
esp with their excessive large bold fonts.

they certainly know the truth. despite their facade on here.
in fact they will be the first call their darker skinned, larger nose/lips counter parts "african looking" or call africans "ugly"
lol

they are just trying to be accepted on nairaland  
by trying to make it seem as if they are the same as us.

[quote author=Mrs, Chima link=topic=833742.msg9981484#msg9981484 date=1326765621]SO are you guys!     

If you can tell me what I am mixed with, I can tell you what you are mixed with.   [/quote]yes. i'm mixed with bleaching cream and relaxer.
I don't need you to tell me

just accept the fact that you are not African and never will be.

[quote author=tpia@ link=topic=833742.msg9981475#msg9981475 date=1326765521]dont you notice i've left the thread for the itk wrecking crew?

just dont have the time right now to be running in circles.

some people like to be more african than africans themselves.[/quote]abi o.

in fact, this is certainly not worthy of argument.

they want to be on our level by force by force.

[quote author=Mrs, Chima link=topic=833742.msg9981470#msg9981470 date=1326765455]LMAO@Black Americans are only mixed with White folks  

Some people will deny to the BITTER END.   [/quote]and with native americans.
you guys are mixed all over.

MsDarkSkin:
Lol! Onila you are drugs seriously.

There are mixed western blacks AND Africans end of story!

yes there are.

but please address the argument:
there are way more mixed western blacks.

coogar:
the man in that image is not light-skinned, is he?
can you see the knots in his hair?

that is exactly my point. he is lighter skinned.
but indegenous SA. you can tell by his hair texture!
most igbos are the same way. even the lightest one have kinky hair.
unlike AA who tend to have straighter hair if they are light skin.

more examples

coogar:
just like the typical nigerians are dark-skinned!
the ones you see as light-skinned have been doctored somewhere in their pedigree!
you are making my point here. . . . . .

you can tell the mixed ones from the indegenous ones
through their history as well as by their features.

typical west africans are dark skinned and  the difference is clear when you compare them to AA.
even the AAs themselves will be the first to say "you look african" if you are very dark skinned with big lips, nose and sharp features.
far too many of them have been diluted so they don't have that typical west african look anymore.

I don't even know why we are arguing this because I assume it's common knowledge. that african features are stronger than AA.
igbos are lighter skinned compared to yorubas so they look more AA in comparison.

about the mixed vs indegenous thing:
a light skinned igbo will still have very kinky hair
where as a light skinned african american will generally have looser hair texture.
same with light skin indegenous SA who will have very kinky hair,  but a colored SA will have looser hair texture.

this gives you a hint of who's mixed vs who's indigenous.

europeans have been exploring these places as far back as the 17th and 18th centuries.
what are you talking about? the people in this picture have been compromised.

wth?
lol no comment.
those are the indegenous people of Southern Africa. 17th and 18th centuries are not even that long ago.

coogar:
the people of liberia, sierra leone, etc are light-skinned.

are you trying to make a joke?
the typical liberian and sierra leoneans are dark skinned. except for the creole who are lighter skinned. these creoles make up only a small percent of their population and they are descendants of returned slaves from America.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americo-Liberian
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierra_Leone_Creole_people

yea those people are mixed with khoi-san.
and you can tell.
ex nelson mandela

how many west africans are generally that light skinned? apart from igbos.

coogar:
and that is because white men occupied south africa far longer than other african countries.
south africa is the worst example you can whip out - why don't we have brown-light skinned in the hinterland of africa - i.e. land-locked countries where the slave ships couldn't get to. . . .africans are predominantly black. the light-skinned ones have been doctored somewhere in their family tree.

this is not true.
there are indigenous south africans that are light skinned.

khoi san for example.
the supposed "bantu" race/tribe migrated southward but they did not originate from the south that was populated by more light skin khoi san people
I would suppose that light skinned igbos are the same way. they are probably naturally lighter. although darker than south africans

https://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lk2ye1tSWr1qbclmp.jpg

the whole second argument is about complexion.
african americans are lighter skinned than africans.

and that argument was used to support the first argument that igbos look more AA than yorubas. ie igbos are are lighter skinned than yorubas.

why can't you comprehend that?
feel like i'm arguing with a ESL 6th grader.

MsDarkSkin:
THANK YOU GADEMIT!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!



@ onila all what was so hard in that?

[random]so proper african my azz! africans are just as mixed as us!!!
so if i am an akata, you are one too!! hewwww!!!

this is getting comedic by the minute.
hahahaha I can't laugh hard enough.

obviously you didn't understand coogar's comment either.

read the last sentence in her post for christsake.

onila:
Some Igbos look AA. some yoruba look like AA but more Igbos do. .you are correct
while Hausa look like East Africans

this part of the argument they cannot comprehend.

I dont know why they cant accept the fact they have more light skin blacks than Africans

they do!!
where do you think the "you look african" comment comes from. esp when the person is very dark skinned.

ms chima and her friend just don't understand how you are talking about AAs relative to Africans. they thought you were talking about AAs being light skin in general. without understanding that you are comparing them to africans.

it is an english comprehension issue.

onila:
they are light skinned Africans but you cant deny they are more light skinned Black Americans and Carribeans than Africans. Most of these slaves were from West Africa. Most West Africans are dark skinned. .

Carribeans are mixing everyday. I see them all the time. they are some carribeans that dont look black anymore some look like indian/black/white combination

hahaha goodluck arguing with her.

I'm starting to feel that ms chima doen't understand english very well.
same way I was trying to tell her that igbos are more AA looking than yorubas.
she couldn't understand my post for the life of her.

she thought I was saying "all igbos look AA" "all yorubas look non-AA"
just the way she's thinking you mean "all AA are lightskin" "all africans are dark skin"
even though you clearly said AAs are more lighter skinned than Africans.

two word she needs to add to her vocabulary:
relative, absolute.
she seems to be thinking in absolute terms and can't grasp the concept of relativism (not referring the theory).

onila:

I would take her comment as an insult if I were you. lol
but I don't blame u sha. maybe she's right

hahahaha

I think you are the one who is fed up with her and looking for every excuse to break off the relationship
be honest with yourself. that is the first step to happiness 

daves2ng:
is this an indication she's fed up, i dont like wasting time on issues, my mind is going off this relationship already,  What can i do to save it,or i should just let her go

daves2ng:
, i think she isnt feelin me anymore, maybe i should fly

yes fly and let her be. your mind is not in d relationship anymore.
why blame her for your own problem.

coogar:
the fulanis take the cake.
igbos and yorubas fight for scraps.

aa-celebrity standards you see today have been watered down by caucasians and other races. . . .
i don't see how pete edochie looks like tyson beckford.

yorubas are not fighting for nothing  
but I agree thought that fulanis are totally outside of the discussion because their look is unique and nothing close to the typical western ideal even for AAs. they are in a league of their own just like East Africans

haha @ pete edochie. last I heard of him was when he was kidnapped.

onila:
some igbos look like AA. . . .AAs dont look like that just because they are of igbo descent but because they haved mixed with europeans

thats why they are lighter skinned than Africans

good point. I was going to mention this as well but I feel ms chima and dark skin will not be able to comprehend d argument. lol

they are more handsome if you are putting them to AA celebrity standards.
otherwise, yorubas are d most handsome 


I agree though that looks aren't that important for guys. don't even know why this thread exists.

MsDarkSkin:
LOL!! so i guess the Nigerian pr0stitution phenomena is a result of being akatanized? you know what fcugg it! it's only because of my respect for this site that i won't RENK on Nigerian bad habits besides why should i stoop that low? 

of course Nigerians have bad habits too. that is very obvious
419 being top of the list.

i didn't mean to bash. just pointing out differences.

DONkollione:
YES BRO, @TPIA, DATS D DIFFERENCE AM TRYNA POINT OUT, d picture is making it look delicious but i doubt, the first day i ordered for okro without d stew i nearly cried it was worthless, the okro soup was just made of water, salt and d okro itself, or is it d way d person cooked it?

hahah you have to order okro with the stew. you eat them together. lol

there is also okro soup which is a mixture and what you might be more familiar with. some food sellers don't carry it though.

ok good.
now, back to the topic.

igbos are more handsome in the conventional sense
ie based on idea of beauty from tv, celebrities etc. since igbos look more similar to AAs than their other nigerian counterparts. and it's same for the women.

but I prefer yoruba (since i'm yoruba). My taste is shaped differently.

@ms dark skin,
for every 1 pic of yoruba person who looks AA, I can post 5 pics of igbos who look AA.
I hope you now understand my point.


[quote author=Mrs, Chima link=topic=833742.msg9980961#msg9980961 date=1326757469]Okay, if you agree with my point then why are you mad?   [/quote]i'm pissed at the fact that you feel your point contradicts mine. which it doesn't.
you are saying a totally different thing than I am  

[quote author=Mrs, Chima link=topic=833742.msg9980945#msg9980945 date=1326757192]It is your opinion and my opinion said other wise.  Do you have an argument against that?[/quote]well,.

we are saying two different things.

I said: more igbos look AA than yorubas. duh
you said: there are some yorubas who look AA. duh

we are both correct.
and I think both are facts. not opinion

I agree with your point.
the question is, have you addressed my point? ie more igbos look like AA than yorubas.
obviously there is no way anyone can argue against that.

MsDarkSkin:
I've seen AAs and caribbeans who are DIRECT carbon copies of Yoruba ppl in looks

yes they exist. but not nearly as much as igbos.
that's my point.

Ive met WAY more igbos that could be confused with AA than yorubas.
can you argue against this point.

and there are photographic evidence for this that you can find anywhere.

[quote author=Mrs, Chima link=topic=833742.msg9980929#msg9980929 date=1326756926]I have seen some Yoruba and Igbo men and some of them can pass for brothers.   [/quote]so far you have not said anything to disqualify my point that Igbos more than yorubas pass for AAs.
the point here is that igbos look more like AAs than other tribes in Naija.

do you have an argument against that?

MsDarkSkin:
why the hostility Proper African one?  

girl calm yourself. whether igbos said it or you BOTH stand corrected.

sharrap dia my friend.

the simplistic map says nothing.
besides that is drifting away from the point. that igbos blend in more with AAs than yorubas would. look wise.

who cares if more slaves came from there or not. that is not the main argument.

check the faces.

and quote me correctly.
I said "look more AA"  

yea

I don't know too many people who refer to vegetable soup as stew.
