africhika:

i can look and guess 90% correct.

i'm an igbo gal: caramal-colored skin, very petite, gapped teeth with big eyes. typical igbo features.

all the 9ja guys I happen to find attractive are yoruba guys. sometimes i'll see a guy who i don't know and find him attractive. usually, he'll turn out to be yoruba. anyway, most of the YOUNG yoruba guys in my church are average-tall in height. dark-skinned with very very slim faces, slim body and very high cheek bones. my sister only likes igbo guys. she likes their stocky, muscular shape and fuller heads.

yoruba: beautifully high cheek bones for men & women. women have curvy shapes. women are usually short or average and usually have small, widely spaced eyes. smooth skin, usually. personally, i think yoruba women have exotic, fashion-model looks.

[b]igbos: [/b]there is more variety among the igbos when it comes to appearance. but many of them are brown-light skinned.  igbo women tend to be on the tall side. gapped teeth and big eyes are common. yes, igbo men have distinct head shapes. very round heads. igbo men are usually not tall.


i read somewhere that during the slave trade, the igbos were marked by their skin town. in the caribbeans, slave masters would refer to any light colored african as HEEBO.

What part of Igboland are you from?

anambra. why you askin

CAN ANYONE TELL WHAT COUNTRY/TRIBE A BLACK AMERICAN COULD HAVE ROOTS TO JUST BY THEIR LOOKS? ���
