Bros e be like say you no know Mpecious Mpele otherwise you no go ask me that kind question

Obama is a product of an African man and an American Woman.

using the words like Black for him is stupid, even though he uses it on himslef.

The man is no more black than a black indian from sri- lanka

He is African by descent, Yes

He is American by descent, Yes


Therefore colcor of skin is only a stupid way in describing oneself and should be used only in relevant comparisons

ezeagu:
There is evidence of Igbo settlements around the Niger from around 4000 BC (give or take a 100 years), Yoruba is about 2000 BC, so the Igbo are older in the Niger area than the Yoruba. The Hausa may be the latest group to arrive or evolve in their present area.

The Igbo are genetically similar to the Mbundu in Angola.

Any studies or links I can take a look at regarding settlments and relatedness to the Mbundu, Groups in central Africa normally took an eastern/ southern route as far as movement dynamics and  it is possible the Igbos may have been in that region before the arrival of the Yoruba.

In their present grouping/form. I hardly doubt, 4000 years is a long time but then again give me a link,

ababda:
To ezeagu: Somali/Ethiopian clusters", "Negroid features", "mixed types", I would think you people were eyeing goats to be bought in a market.

i will reserve my comments that many northern sudanese and egyptians say about yours, because at the end of the day i know it is utter ignorance similar to your statement which is utter ignorance. interesting, "eyeing goats to be brought in the market" are you confusing us with your local fulan and tuaregs in your far north. i am sorry to disappoint you we are different people. however, i met some najia fulan in egypt great people, and he always had something positive to say about each ethnicity in najia. he represented your country well, and your "mix types" statement, do you have a inferiority complex or something. indeed, i really don't understand your meaning?

@ agbada

Please don't mind some foolish people here who have only travelled from London to lagos and back and have notidea of anything concernig African diversity.

I tend to hypothesis that the Igbo are an original central African group who may have crossed paths with Igala and older ethnic groups that occupy Rainforest regions as they made their way to their present location.

This is theory, however mere observation would cluster them with the Physique types in Central regions of Africa which include robust builds and round cranias obviously a result of diet rich agriculture.

There are observable differences with Hausa Igbo and Yoruba:

Yorubas tend to have more "harder" facial features and less larger crania compared to  igbos who crania are larger and facial features more relaxed compared to the hausa's who are have more elongated body and crania with even more relaxed facial features.

Linguistically Yoruba language types are more similar to their western neighbours than they are to Igbos or Northerners which could point to the latter arrival of the Igbo to that region. They couldn't have come from the north cause the language does not have any roots with northern groups or their neighbours cluster more with groups close to their regions as well.

I think an extensive DNA sapmling should be done on each  Nigerian group to determine relatedness. I for one will hold to that theory for now until there is more evidence to back it up.

PS I am really weary of the the term Bantu as it keeps being used in the wrong context.

YA MAMA TOTO!!!

Mpele:
1. South Africa – GDP: $533.2 billion
Africa’s largest economy looms over the rest and has an abundant supply of natural resources with well-developed financial, legal, communications, energy, and transport sectors. South Africa has a modern infrastructure that supports an efficient distribution of goods to major urban centers throughout the region and a stock exchange that ranks among the 10 largest in the world.


1.The Rand was the best performing currency against the US dollar between 2002 and 2005 (Bloomberg Currency Scoreboard)
2.South Africa has 55,000 high-net individuals holding at least US $1 million in financial assets (World Wealth Report 2008)
3.South Africa has the 27th biggest economy in the world, with a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of US $254 billion (World Bank)
4.South Africa accounts for almost 25% of the GDP of the entire African continent, with an economy more than twice the size of the second biggest – Algeria (World Bank)
5.Gauteng is South Africa’s smallest province but produces 34% of South Africa’s


South Africa is the superpower and the single biggest economy in Africa!

[quote author=tpia. link=topic=347340.msg4862203#msg4862203 date=1257359589]if he wasnt ready to resign he wouldnt have made his statement in the first place.

Stop being played.[/quote]okay Tpia I guess he was ready after the backlash.

Wonder why he did't retire earlier, knowing that he would be presented time and time again with such marriage requests, at least to clear his conscience.

HMMMMMM?

[quote author=tpia. link=topic=347340.msg4861201#msg4861201 date=1257351678]he resigned of his own accord.

This doesnt need to be blown out of proportion.[/quote]Sure no pressure at all huh?

I believe the people have spoken.

RSA:
If you ask the Brits,they will tell you there's a difference between them and the rest of Europe,it's not only white South Africans who sees that difference,blacks South Africans do as well.We all know that most African states are backward,barbaric,corrupt,undemocratic,undeveloped and plain uselss.South Africa and other countries on the other hand quite the opposite.
Yes SA was developed by whites and yes they own the economy,so what?They're paying tax that; is educating our youth,that is also building our infrustructure,that is creating jobs and maintaining our hospitals.Thats all you need from your country,the rest you'll do it yourself.

Bro, I won't even respond to that. I will leave that to one of your brother's whom I have met before and clearly explains your dilemma,

Have you ever wondered why most Africans regardless of nationality identify themselves as "Africans" much more than other people from other continents

Hmmmmm?

mekuslogan:
One glaring difference between China and Nigeria is that corrupt people are punished even by hanging. This is not the case in Nigeria. So I dare say that MORAL corruption (for e.g., not meting out the appropriate punishments to culprits) contributes to our worsening financial corruption. It is possible you have a low IQ. Prove me wrong. I do NOT have a low IQ because for the past 6 years, I have attending classes with Europeans, Americans, Chinese, Indians, Latinos and other Africans and I have been at the top 5. Next to these is the idea of putting incompetent people to positions due to tribalism and the stupid quota system. Are those also in China?

Like I said RELATIVITY AND CETRIS PARIBUS!!!

it should be studied in reference to relativity and cetris paribus
