@ seyi olofinjana photo

kindly read the thread from the beginning and note where people pointed out the majority factor.

seyi olofinjana has a long jaw and is tall and dark, therefore he might be mistaken for hausa by some.

in any case, fulanis migrated from the senegal region, so what exactly is the problem here? huh

This reema major 17 years old rapper in Toronto but born in Darfur! Granted lots of South Sudanese have shiny dark look!!!

Tell you what? I have seen nigerian kids who look like reema major!!!
first of all what do you mean by shiny dark look.


secondly, its been repeated over and over again on this forum [for those who dont know and have no way of finding out], that many sudanese look nigerian. Check abadba's many threads about sudanese people.

thirdly, if the girl isnt pure nubian or pure dinka, she might look nigerian.

so you dont know what a ghanaian looks like either.

As for people being unable to tell when some are using passports of other countries- that may be true but it doesnt mean each country doesnt have its own look.

@ exotik

so you're saying people's eyes are deceiving them when they see the various looks common to different areas.

and why do you assume all whites dont know the different looks in africa? huh

i just finished reading a book where the white author described ijaw or some of the coastal women and what they look like.

this was from over a century ago. Maybe that knowledge has been lost? huh

lol, I hate calling it grey hair hahahahaha makes me feel old!!!
^^not sure i catch your drift.

grey hair isnt "supposed" to be recessive though i'll look it up.

factors that can contribute to grey hair in young people include stress, family propensity, or maybe medication/illness.

also, sometimes age of one or more parent.

i always wondered how the nazi germans were easily able to identify 3million(?) jews and wiped them from the surface of the earth even though both groups look the same to me as an outsider.

and i always wondered how the hutus were easily able to identify and massacred the tutsi in the rwanda genocide even though both groups look the same to me as an outsider.

oh, and i always wondered how nigerians were easily able to identify ghanaians and sent them packing during the ghana must go era even though ive seen a lot of people who had the "nigerian look" in ghana, togo and benin republic and they were NOT nigerians
so you're saying you dont know how your own people look either.

as per ghana, i myself have always wondered how they knew the difference between ghanaians and nigerians when they sent us packing in the 60s.

Dominance in genetics is a relationship between two variant forms (alleles) of a single gene, in which one allele masks the expression of the other in influencing some trait. In the simplest case, if a gene exists in two allelic forms (A & B), three combinations of alleles (genotypes) are possible: AA, AB, and BB. If AB individuals (heterozygotes) show the same form of the trait (phenotype) as AA individuals (homozygotes), and BB homozygotes show an alternative phenotype, allele A is said to dominate or be dominant to allele B, and B is said to be recessive to A.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominance_(genetics)


Which trait is dominant?The terms dominant and recessive refer to the interaction of alleles in producing the phenotype of the heterozygote. If there are two alternative phenotypes, by definition the phenotype exhibited by the heterozygote is called "dominant" and the "hidden" phenotype is called "recessive." The key concept of dominance is that the heterozygote is phenotypically identical to one of the two homozygotes. That trait corresponding to the dominant allele may then be called the 'dominant' trait.

Dominance is a genotypic relationship between alleles, as manifested in the phenotype. It is unrelated to the nature of the phenotype itself, e.g., whether it is regarded as 'normal or abnormal,' 'standard or nonstandard,' 'healthy or diseased,' 'stronger or weaker,' or 'more or less' extreme.

^^i think i know why you started the thread.

some people are offended by the idea of a nigerian look for various reasons which wont be discussed here.

sorry oh- i'd suggest you tell your friends to go to the exact hometowns of their nigerian associates and be absorbed there.

and those of you who feel you're too biracial looking to be nigerian, deal with it or what do you want people to tell you.
