You're completely mad for that mapping were you and the map maker high when you created the map...
We now only have 3 tribes in nigeria

Bloody aboki

The map was not created by me, although I do suspect that it is meant to only represent cultural and linguistic hegemony, and does not claim to be an in-depth picture of all existing tribes. As if I was not aware that Nigeria had a wider variety of different tribes.
But please excuse my ignorance. If you had anything else to contribute?

Impersonation is bad.

Go and register and represent who you are.

Men are burning in hell now.

I trust that there will be others who will argue in good character instead of attempting to derail a conversation before it has even begun.

There is a question that is on my mind. As a foreigner, how would one gain an understanding of the cultural situation in Nigeria?
Nigeria seems like a gigantic and complex structure. What is holding it together? And what defines Nigeria as a nation?

Traditional Games in Africa


Who remembers the days we used to play games like suwe, police and thief, fire on the mountain, ten ten and ayo.

Now with the advent of technology we can play some of these games online.

Did you know there is a version of the ayo game online.

It is called Awale Online and it is a strategy game among the Mancala family of board games played in West Africa
and worldwide. The goal of the game is to capture more seeds than one's opponent.

It is a digital version of the Ayo and played on a rectangular carved board by two players with 12 round pits, 6 on each side
and 48 seeds.

Which other traditional or childhood african games do you know?

This seems very interesting. Thank you, Fren

Nigeria has the potential to become the next great African empire. The British messed up Nigeria by changing the map from East to West to North to South. What I mean is that Yorubaland used to go from SW Nigeria over to Dahomey, which the Fon people were married to Ile Ife, but the Fon also were in Togo, which means that Yorubalands trademans were there! The Yorubas were also in Ghana before the Akan moved down from Mali forced out by the Berbers and Moors, which is also Turkish European invasion of West Africa with Black and Arab faces. Yorubaland stretched all the way to Free Town in Serra Leon.

The Fulani Empire includes the Hausa but also Fulani groups in Dahomey/Benin Republic, Mali, and Senegal. There's more development here that's needed to make the point but its clear that something has gone wrong on the map thinking of West Africans. Instead of focusing upon North and South differences Nigerians need to focus upon East to West where lies more cultural allies for the Yorubas and for the Fulanis. The Alaafin, the Ooni, Emir and Sultan need to put their forces together along with the government to expand the Nigerian empire. The rest of the gaps in between can be subdued and conquered. This is my advice babas.

Nigeria seems to be too decentralized for that to happen. Many tribal and corporate interests pulling the country's people and resources apart.
But I have to admit that I am largely ignorant about Nigeria so please correct me if I am wrong.
