White people and their offspring are like Gods to most Nigerians, they are the standard of everything regardless of what their position is or how they have gotten to their position of relative success. Nigerians revere white people so much that when a white person does something as simply as wear an item of traditional African clothing or speaks a Nigerian language and participates in a Nigerian culture in the bare minimum, Nigerians loose their mind, it is like their God and saviour has stooped to their level.

Take this video for example, people all over the world sing in many different languages, but when it comes to white people singing in Igbo or Yoruba the blacks start rolling on the ground crying and praising God that a white man has cared to indulge in their lowly culture in their eyes.

How many white women have made celebrity entirely out of simply learning a Nigerian language or song? How many cringy "Oyinbo" girls and boys are there, while an average Nigeria would be laughed at if they do not speak English properly? Look at many Nigerian music videos, filled with white or half white people, people that do not make up 0.1% of the Nigerian population, how many oyibo music videos have black or Nigerian women in them?

Even look at the so called origin myth of many Nigerians, if it's not Baghdad for the Hausa, it's Mecca for the Yoruba, if not that, it's Israel for the Igbo. How popular would these theory of origins be if the people currently living there now weren't white, but were say the colour of South Sudanese, why do Africans never claim to descend from another part of Africa but always the Middle East? Because deep down they want to be connected to white skin and white people.

True.
But I just want to correct an impression though, Yorubas never c;aimed to come from Mecca or anythig like that.
We all know the Obatala creation myth of the Yorubas , which was what was being thought in schools, before history was scrapped from the curriculum by our visionless leaders.

The Mecca twist to Yoruba origin is not the general Yoruba position, but rather an Islamic external influence on Yoruba history and traditions.
So... No, Yorubas ideally/originally don't claim any external locations as their origin. All the gods and local heros of Yoruba folklore are black, not white.

awa:
October 1st is the date set for Igbos in the north. Good thing is that they don't know Ibibio or Igbo there because we are all Nyamiris to them....

And you are happy that your stupidity is going to potentially cause misfortune to others or what?

Shuooo

Ha!
