Hermaphrodite2:
Hausa

-They are very hardworking
-Friendly
-Simple lifestyle including dressing
-Once you understand Hausa like this, they will pack all their goods into your sack in discounted price
-their educated ladies are very beautiful and modest

Dislikes

Dirty
Religion extremists
when it comes to beauty, it's Fulani, not hausa

If you prefer the Fulani tribe, then that's good... But please don't project your preferences on others... There are different strokes for different folks.

This is not a competition.

Don't mind the guy. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. He wants to project his opinion on others. Thanks for schooling him.

1. Benue (Idoma). Drm sabi give free kepkus. God bless Doshima for Markurdi town . Na me they run away that year.


2. Ibibio. One good thing is that they know how to cook. Secondly,they can knack the hell out of you and you forget ti go your papa house. One gave me Kobnomi for Uyo. That was how I forgot that I was married for three years until I was delivered in Cele church.



3. Ibo (Ebonyi ). Chaii, though they are naive but I enjoyed. One was my neighbour, she was very easy to maintain.
Just one indomie and egg, I am permitted to shine Congo for three weeks.

The day I bought her phone, her kpekus was mine for one year except if she was menstruating
But Dorshima is not Idoma................

I love plateau people, especially the Berom tribe. They're very hospitable and I readily feel at home with them.

Yoruba too are great guys and aside the internet banters with my tribe's people, they're nice.

I also like Idoma people because they are my nextdoor neighbours

Edo guys too are great guys mostly

What's the meaning of the name Musa there in Nigeria? Because it's like it's also common there.

Here in SA it's a Zulu name which means "Mercy" in English.

In English ,Musa" can also be termed "moses" and it can mean a child saved from drowning.

Creating this thread was really thoughtful of you, Samantha125. I would really love more persons to respond so as to give us some fresh air, from the toxic vibes we experience regularly on nairaland.

Back to your question, I love the Hausas for their sincerity and simplicity. I also love the Igede people from Benue state. The ones I have encountered have really been good.
Re: What Is Your Favourite Nigerian Tribe Apart From Yours? by Nobody: 8:05pm On Jun 17, 2025
True !
Beautiful and thoughtful thread !
Do hope it makes FP

Chances are it won't, I once opened a similar thread on politics section and it got deleted within few hours... I was pissed but powerless, so I just kept quiet because I already knew the root of the problem... And the thread was doing just fine without any banters.

That is quite sad. This is one thread that could help us appreciate one another. I was expecting that people would flood this thread with positive comments for one another, with same energy they use in attacking each other's tribe. It's well.

1. Yoruba.......Most of them are naturally respectful and easy going unlike other Nigerian tribes.

2. Hausa.......Very simple people, Hausas years back were very friendly to the extent I even trust them more than my tribespeople. The insurgency in Northern Nigeria spoilt everything and made it look as if they're evil but that's not true. I haven't seen anybody that has lived in the North before speak ill of Hausas.

3. Bini.......We were brothers back then before the government decided to make us different states. I still regard them as my blood. Benin girls are very beautiful, as a matter of fact my wife is from the ancient city of Benin.......I couldn't resist staring at her the very first day I set my eyes on her. Today she's the mother of my little princess.
From a non nigerian mans view, thats lived around you most of his life

In my own country Norway
My dad's families country Sweden
In my mother's families country Denmark
In the UK
And here longer than the other 4

Purely from a marriage perspective and being accepted for who you are and welcomed for who you are

1) is not strictly true

Yoruba people are fun to be around and throw wonderful parties, the women are loving and loyal if treated right

But the families are controlling in the wedding process and simply are not respectful at all in 1 area

They will not automatically respect the grooms wishes around prostration and will use pressure to push him into it or force him into it and if a man does get them to understand hes not doing it the family will expect him to put on grand display of offering at his own wedding and dont understand they have no automatic right to any of it unless a groom is Yoruba himself

Respect goes both ways its not 1 sided like they expect in weddings now understand im not being abusive, just expressing my personal perspective from my experience and from watching friends having to walk away from great women over it

Now from my perspective as dating from almost all tribes

Esan women are absolutely adorable
When you upset one and she shouts your name in anger its an instant 🍆 that accent is sweet but the families tend to be rigid with what they want over anything

Bini women are hard to get on with mainly because so many were put through fgm and are carrying the trauma of what their families did to them and its heartbreaking watching them when they research reconstruction surgery if its stage 2 or 3 because alot think about it

But my personal favourite is igbo simply they are the most open minded to blended weddings

50% the brides culture and 50% the grooms and most families wont argue about it
They are most open to a man wanting to be part of the family and not the tribe

But saying that imo igbo tend to have the same attitude to traditions as yoruba

And again im not being abusive, just my personal experience, there flaws in all people even mine
Re: What Is Your Favourite Nigerian Tribe Apart From Yours? by RevenuesBoost(f): 5:35am On Jun 27, 2025
Yoruba Tribe.

Yoruba people are cheerful people – They give a lot.

In my University days, my friend was from Yoruba.
She was very friendly and we got really close.


My husband's Mum keeps sending me different gifts.
My husband is no exception
His sister in Kuwait practically placed me on monthly salary.
This is what I call excess love.

1. Hausa: My reason is they are very co-operative and they help one another in jobs and political offices.

2. Yoruba : My reason is their food and co-operation in terms of giving of jobs to their fellow tribe.
