igbo men are known to be shorter than yoruba. this is a stereotype yorubas have about igbos
and about the muscular thing. you only just need to look at the nigerian female football team roster. or international beauty contests (where curves are non existent).

are u sure about that ? there are lots of short people west of the niger, and i have been to all the yoruba states , they lack fine girls talkless of curves. (dont confuse obesity with curves) igbo men look intimidating because of their height and deep voice. and our women of course we already know say na them fine pass followed by the efik/ibibio then edo

bashr4:

actually its difficult to see a good looking yoruba woman just as its difficult to see an ugly igbo woman. you dont have to hate us its u people that started calling the fine fine yoruba women omo igbo not us. go and beef you yoruba men and leave us alone , as far as most nigerian men  are concerned  and good looking or light skinned girl must be igbo until proven otherwise. i consider myself a dark skined igbo but outside the south east people call me
yellow.


i dont understand why this skin color is a big deal for people outside south east , they want to claim igbos bleach like them but they need to go to igbo villages and see our grand fathers and how yellow most of them look , maybe they bleach too .

it really has nothing to do with other beauty characteristics besides light skin tone.
the ugliest light skinned yoruba girl will be called "omo igbo"
yoruba albinos are also called "omo igbo"

infact, my parents sometimes call african americans "omo igbo" if they look fair.

but yes I agree with you that we place too much emphasis on skin tone. at least 80% of this topic is dedicated to who is fairer than who.

i told them this. when a girl looks light skin and not good looking then it is refered to omo igbo or igbo made

quote me on this

why don't them call omotola omo igbo but they call some not to good looking yoruba omo igbo

majority of you have no idea of the WEST the yoruba people

I know them and the way they think about things and certainly when they refer to a light skin girl as omo igbo it does not me good looks.lol

just like when they say ajekutamamomi does not mean you are brave.lol

you see the irony. not hate intented

Oh, I see, can you give us examples of these curve-less Igbo ladies?

Swallowing stone without water means you really like rocks.

I might be wrong. I'm just telling you my own perspective.
maybe other yorubas can chime in.


if you put a light skinned yoruba next to an equally light skinned igbo, most yorubas will consider the yoruba girl prettier.
so to me, igbo beauty is really yellow pawpaw beauty. nothing else to it.

less curves in comparison to yoruba women.
I thought this was common knowledge.

Not surprised with the DNA expose, considering the fact that Igbos have been stealing babies for centuries and selling them through their recently discovered 'babies making factories', a place in various p.art of the eastern Nigeria, where children can be sold & bought like chickens. So kidnapping has been proved to be interwoven with Igbo culteres and equally dates back to as far as anyone could imagine?
Another angular is that , those results goes to show the effects of the nation-wide prost*tutions associated with Igbo women in the country, particular how they choose to 'INVADE' most western part of Nigeria at tender age to make like living through the services they provided. Do you still wonder why 90% of local prost*ttutes are Igbo women? Just asking. . .

yes in your own terms but in yoruba terms it mean "uncivilized people" in yoruba culture they love eating soft foods like they say " iyan e fele bi eti" ie the pounded yam is as soft the lower ear. and by so they love soft food and plenty of water. When the fulani introduced lafu (white amala) they loved it . also when hausa introduced tuwo shinkafa ( a very soft maize meal more like amala but softer) they loved it and as sure it is viewed in there own terms as civilization.

Akpu(harder fufu) or fufu is not loved by them because after eating them drink loads of water. Now when the saw the igbo eating akpu which they use punches and fist to eat without drinking adequate water, it is seen as uncivilized and thus ajekutamamomi ( eating stones (akpu) and do not drink water)

No, i just bought a baby from Aba market . . .what an imbec'ile.

tpia and fl/ileke


stop saying ezeuche looks yoruba EVEN IF HE IS DARKSINNED. that pic he posted doesnt.

1) his face is very wide and bland-

bland/bland/Adjective
- Lacking strong features or characteristics and therefore uninteresting. Most yoruba have either dimples slanted eyes or sharp cheek bones, jaws or slim face he lacks all.

2)HIS NOSE IS REALLLLY WIDE- LIKE BIG HAS SHIIT

3)he has such a shittty wardrobe theres no yorubaguy in our area that dresses so stupidly.

Doesn't make any sense. Why not just say 'the ones that eat stones'. In my opinion if a group of people are called 'they eat stones without water' I would think that is a pretty cool group of people, not uncivilised. The use of stone, a generic material to symbolise strength, doesn't link up with 'uncivilized'.

Ajaokuta ma mumi fits Igbo people's strength resilience.

lol as i said you don't understand this people. The whites would say you are obese if you have a pot belly but we africans take pride in it. because it means you are well feed .

And in whichever continent you go, a man swallowing stones without water is badass.

lol. marriage/dating is not just about beauty.
if that was the case even the nigerians abroad won't be going for the ugliest fattest americans.

maybe some of the igbo women were easier to date than yoruba women. or they were interested in the guy. most yoruba guys won't turn a girl down

anyways it increases our population so i'm not complaining.

Igbo dark skin is rear and not as much as brown skin or light skin. hence your wrong assumption. Don't take my word for it just facebook a igbo name and see how many dark skin comes up as oppose to brown and light.

</quote>

This is like saying call out "osu igbo" and see how many answer, .

You all have made their humanity, the dark skin ones and the osu, a shameful thing to show their face or answer for.

Shame on Igbo for dehumanizing and discriminating against its own people based on their skin color or their birth line. And you wonder why you are rejected by your neighbors and disowned by some your Igbo clans.

Protesting against insti.tuted criminality. How about that?. . .

I thought you bought a baby, Igbo women are highly fertile, why not share the joy?

The fat women abroad are light now. I can just imagine the millions of Igbo girls chasing after Yoruba men.

Population of 90% Igbo, 10% Efik.

Everything everyone has to say about Igbo people is usually a compliment, calling your most beautiful girls Igbo, calling Igbo men money chasers, calling Igbo people strong enough to swallow stones without drinking water.

lol @the fat women above are light.  
I guess they want to make light babies. and that is igbo men included. to increase the rate of yellow pawpaw ness in their tribe.

you mean 100% yoruba  
let's be honest though. there isn't much igbo blood among yorubas. if there is, it probably goes back to times before written history. maybe yorubas took igbo slaves or something.

so I have a question for you. do you count african americans as igbo even though i'm sure DNA tests will suggest that many of them are.

no comment for the last sentence. who translated it for you anyway? i'm curious

That would be when Yoruba were calling themselves Ajaokuta ma mumi?
