Why Are Northerners Getting Fatter While Southerners Are Getting Slimmer? by LoopyNigeria(op): 4:59pm On Sep 10, 2025
I traveled recently and couldn’t help but notice a trend most northerners are now looking rounder and heavier, while in the south, many young people are looking slimmer (even too slim).

Is it food difference? (Tuwo, masa, suya vs rice, bread, pasta).
Is it lifestyle difference? (North being less stressful, South being more fast-paced).
Or maybe just genetics?

What do you think is really going on?

Maybe it's because they're content with what they have.

I mean their people are in control of the country and majority of them are phenotypically good looking, it's a pity they hardly travel outside of their country to share their beautiful genes with the world, unlike certain square head gangs that'd be looking like Mark Henry from the WWE...🤭🤭🤭

But it's good that they're minding their business in their country despite all the hardships, being content with the little that you have can take you a long way.

Funny you

Will you even know or identify northern Nigerians if you see them?

You can't different them from Kenyans and Sudanese if you see them in your country

Not saying they're not fine, they look like Sudanese, Kenyans and Somalians (fulanis)

The face of Nigeria in the universe is Igbos and other soutnerners because that's the people that are seen outside Nigeria. Most Northerners don't travel out of Nigeria, even when they travel out to school, they return back once they graduate.

The square heads that attracts most african women and Europeans grin

When African women say they like Nigerian men they're referring to Igbos because that's the people they meet in their country grin

Ask Ghanians, SA, Kenyan women e.t.c

I never said anything about Igbos, so I don't know what you're talking about...😂😂😂... In fact, I don't know anything about Igbos...🤭🤭🤭

So they have square heads?🤣🤣🤣🤣

I already know who you're referring to na

Igbos are the face of Nigeria in SA

I know like five of my friends alone that base in SA

Even if a northern Nigerian pass you now, you may not know because of their appearance/dressing. You may think you met a sudanese or somalian.

That lifestyle you know Nigerians with is Southern Lifestyle
Re: Why Are Northerners Getting Fatter While Southerners Are Getting Slimmer? by Samantha125(f): 8:42pm On Sep 10, 2025
I don't know what you're talking about...😂😂😂... But come to think of it, perhaps the Northerners would've done a better job being the face of Nigeria, I mean they're lookable, humbled, and don't like drama... grin grin grin

Anyways, let's stop derailing the op's thread... grin grin grin

Some of u guys make so much noise about this traveling thing. As a matter of fact I know that the Yorubas have more population than the Igbos in countries like USA, Canada, Brazil and some of those Caribbeans but they rarely make noise. You guys should learn to tone down a little bit abeg.

Tah rest

The only place yoruba have more population than Igbos is U.K & Brazil.

Igbos are far more than yoruba in U.S.A and Canada.

Even the native U.S blacks have a record of Igbo ancestory more than any other black tribe talk more of the blacks that traveled to U.S.

For brazil, they have more of Yoruba ancestory while Jamaica and Haiti are Igbos.

The only two foreign countries that have more yoruba are U.K and Brazil. Even for Brazil is base on ancestory, blacks that settled centuries ago not travelers

The current Mister International is Igbo, hope you're aware? grin

Stop trying to turn Nigeria tribes against each other.

Compare your SA tribe to Igbo. How handsome are your men ?

Why do you keep bringing up the Igbo name when I never said anything about them?🤔🤔🤔... Like I said, I don't know anything about the Igbos.

I never knew they have square heads and resemble Mark Henry...🤭🤭🤭

You're derailing the op's thread...😏😏😏

There are two kinds of Civilization the one you know and the one you will never know. I hope this helps when you think that the few countries you see the faces of the two regions you mentioned consists of all the nations in the world. Eastern civilized countries have high respect for our Northerners, no shake am.
