Health / Average Nigerian Height (Nigerian Males - Africa's Shortest?) by Nnenna1(f): 2:16am On Nov 30, 2011 |
I came across this interesting piece in wikipedia about the average human height per country in the world, and did a tally of the reported heights from Some African countries. See below: Male Female Nigeria 1.638 m (5 ft 4 1⁄2 in) 1.578 m (5 ft 2 in) Mali 1.713 m (5 ft 7 1⁄2 in) 1.604 m (5 ft 3 in) Cameroon 1.706 m (5 ft 7 in) 1.613 m (5 ft 3 1⁄2 in) Cote D'Ivoire 1.701 m (5 ft 7 in) 1.591 m (5 ft 2 1⁄2 in) Ghana 1.695 m (5 ft 6 1⁄2 in) 1.585 m (5 ft 2 1⁄2 in) Gambia 1.680 m (5 ft 6 in) 1.578 m (5 ft 2 in) Malawi 1.660 m (5 ft 5 1⁄2 in) 1.550 m (5 ft 1 in) South Africa 1.690 m (5 ft 6 1⁄2 in) 1.590 m (5 ft 2 1⁄2 in) Nigerian men came out to be the shortest in this list. I find this a little strange - obviously there are issues that undermine the data (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average_height). And yes, I know it's Wikipedia. But hmm, If you look at the source even Chinese, Vietnamese and Mexican men one-upped Nigerians. 2 Likes |

^^^ You actually look like one of my cousins. I can see where the OP is coming from - but each individual tribe has a stereotyped look. Stereotypes have some basis in truth, I guess. |

I'm from Anambra state and have never heard of this whole "Northern Igbos looking down on Southern Igbos" thing. |

Culture / Igbo Movies by Nnenna1(f): 5:41am On Nov 22, 2011 |
I wish more of Igbo-speaking movies were made - they had some of the best storylines. Why aren't they as popular anymore? I know quite a few are still being produced, but the more popular nollywood movies propagating Igbo culture are in English. Anyways - some classics: Nneka The Pretty Serpent [flash=400,400] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7xmFnMEg3k[/flash] Living in Bondage [flash=400,400] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlE6eCp46BQ[/flash] Rattle Snake [flash=400,400] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8kEATPTVm4[/flash] |

Justcash: I find GEJ's the most annoying though. I think he's more interested in how articulate he sounds when makes his speeches. |

Rykardo Agbor - if he lost the weight and buff up (within reason). He has a disinterested look that I like. Also Sam Dede. Did someone mention Majid? Lol, you must be mistaking James Bond for Twilight or something. |

Foreign Affairs / Re: The Second Berlin Plunder Of Africa by Nnenna1(f): 3:03pm On Nov 16, 2011 |
morpheus24: As much as I try to think of humanity in a different light it really does boil down to this. Disregarding the reality of "survival of the fittest" is the reason why the natives in the Northern parts of America and Australia/New Zealand are all but extinct. We are animals after all, although more sophisticated in how we demonstrate this truth. It's sad because I want to believe that mankind is united but my experiences and the things I read and hear indicate otherwise. As time flies and our consciousness continues to evolve maybe we can reach that united front, but I think it's going to take multiple lifetimes. Until then I believe we should tend to our own in defense until we can match head to head with those who might pose a threat to us. Taking an inward approach to ourselves is key. I was watching this video and this guy makes a lot of sense - [flash=400,430] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2kYWVjInYI[/flash] I will say something though - a lot of the time, people of the continent (Africans and Africans in Diaspora) do a great job of facilitating those who don't wish us well or regard us with disdain. Too lazy to go into details but I'm sure you get the picture. |

I also see some repeats from MBGN: Gbemsola Shotade: Lilian Onabu: I can't believe I'm saying this, but the camera man from MBGN isn't the worst in the world. Come on the PR agencies for Nigerian pageants can do better! |
