A lot of guys are bearded but that doesn't negate the fact that most Igbo guys prefer beards to other Nigerians. It's like saying just cos a lot of guys are bearded these days, it negates the fact that it's a Muslim thing.

Then when you highlight the fact that she alluded to "stocky" and "short" - that gives you a clearer picture cos most Igbos are short and stocky. And they have always been like that since pre-colonial times. I'm sure you read for the European missionaries said about their physical qualities in the 19th century.

How's the average Kenyan taller than the average Nigerian? Apart from the Masai folks, which other ethnic group in Kenya is tall? I don't think the Luo are that tall. And the Masai folks aren't even that many.
according to this index:


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Average_height_around_the_world

Kenyans are the same height as Nigerians, but I'm not sure that's an accurate assessment.

In addition, many Kenyans are slimmer than Nigerians/west Africans, however, those stats may change in future since it seems Nigerians want to be taller.

Or who are those synonymous with being short, stocky, and with beards? grin

Regardless, one bitter chic and stocky folks can't stop naij guys from winning.
on whatshisname's thread, most of the men are bearded.

dunno if there's a correlation? huh

do foreign women prefer bearded Nigerian men?

on the height issue, many Kenyans are taller on average I think, than Nigerians, so most Nigerians might appear short to them.

You are a slowpoke. The only people that can tell the tribes apart in Nigeria is Nigerians. The rest of the world whether ibo,yoruba etc we all see collectively as a Nigerian. We don't differentiate and honestly I don't think people care which tribe you are from as a Nigerian. We see you the same
that's a lie though.

CultureRe: Colour Spectrum by tpiar(op): 6:49pm On Jan 05, 2016
Colors are important in logo design. We just looked recently at the monochrome hipsterisation of design, but the reality is that colors are a call to arms. They appeal to our subconscious senses, and they incite us into making decisions.

That’s important for businesses. After all, what do companies want? They like to ensure that their customers are enticed and eager to buy their products. So picking the right color palette for a logo is all important.


Take a look at this spectrum of logos above. You’ll notice that a lot of similar companies tend to find themselves nearby each other (or, at least, they’ll share similar characteristics). Take the pink colors, for example: 41-45. Barbie, Glam Media and Baskin Robbin are fun, playful and often feminine brands.

BP, Sony Ericson, Sprite and Xbox all share green – and all are futuristic. The blues are generally professional companies. Yellows (Best Buy, Hertz, Subway and Yellow Pages) are utilitarian, common-man companies. Using yellow gets people onside.


Oranges are brash and bold – they’re cool and youth-oriented. Whereas red is a regal, powerful and professional color.

Color psychology is an important thing to consider when designing logos. So before you dash off on the next contest, take a good look at the brief. Think about what the client wants you to aim at. Consider their clients. Then take a look at the spectrums presented above, and think where they’d be best connected.
