Recently Orji Uzor Kalu spoke about what he admires in the Yorubas that the Igbos don't have. While i will not debate about that, its very rare to hear that in Naija. Often than not, we hear Nigerians speak about the ills of different tribes and ethnicities and it has always been counter-productive.

Why not re-direct these energies in talking out what makes other tribes or ethnicities thick and how we can exploit them for the growth of Naija??

I admire the Igbos for their creativity.
I admire the Berom people of Jos for their peaceful nature
I admire the Yorubas for their academic prowess and excellence.
I admire the Edos for their frank talk and intelligence. I remember the times of old when quizzes when broadcast on national TV and the students from Edo were always on top ! They are also always bold.

Lets be positive! Lets hear more!!!!

i admire igbos for their intelligence and motivative spirit.
i admire the yorubas because of their culture, language and heritage. also, their liberal and accommodating nature is admirable.
i admire the hausas for their honest nature and spiritualism (but they take it over board at times ).
i admire the ijaws because they are just nice people (although, i have only met two)
btw, my brother is married to an edo lady and i can testify that she makes him the happiest man alive. since they got married, they have grown from strength to strength. my other brother is also married to an hausa lady (half hausa/half french but more to the hausa side) and she is also as lovely.

(i think i would go for the igbo ladies just to balance the equation .)

all in all, every ethnic group is blessed!!!

Great one!

But why aren't people posting here C'mon guys, lets hail Naija!

C'mon people! 39 views and only 2 posts! C'mon and lets appreciate our diversity!

I admire the ogonis, my favorite minorities. I see them as friends both in peace and in war. I might learn your language if i got time on my hands.

If I werent from Edo state I'd be Ibo. Ever since I served in Abia state, my life has not remained the same. I've since adopted Ibo as my second tribe(despite my mom being Yoruba) and Abia and my 2nd state. I love Ibo. I love their hospitality, unity, humour, lifestyle and everything else. I think you've to live amongst them to know them, they are the best!

hhhm if the stereotyping is positive is it still acceptable

Okay for once I will indulge in the labeling

Yoruba: academic exellence; these people are obssesed with education as an anorexic is obssessed with their calorie intake

Hausa: gentle and simple people

Igbo: industious and sharp 

Fulani:unrivalled beauty 

Niger Deltans: resilience 

Kanuris: beautiful history


And if you do not confom to any of the above or I left you out I still luv ya
