You gonna have to come with better sources, breh. There's no way those stats are accurate for Nigerians. You mean Nicaragua? Lol

There are lots of African stereotypes, shortness isn't one of them.
Its a fact. That is cited from a scientific journal article that compared Jamaicans, Africans and African Americans. Albeit in the context of a diabetes study, but the point stands. Please don't tell me you wanna argue with PHDs who do this for a living.


The Nigerian and Jamaican data were part of the International Collaborative Study of Hypertension in Black people (ICSHIB)

Link-> Association of waist circumference with risk of hypertension and type 2 diabetes in Nigerians, Jamaicans, and African-Americans.



Height is strongly correlated to nutrition and disease prevention breh. Let's not pretend that continental Africans have the same access to food and medical care as their western counterparts. Its the same reason heights of Koreans, Chinese, and Japanese have risen dramatically since the 80s as their nations became wealthier.

1. It was a diabetes study. So no, your point does not stand. The sampling techniques used for disease surveillance would be different from that used in gathering biometric data for an entire country. It is bad science to extrapolate anything else from this study other than the objective of the study.

2. The data in your source was taken from 875 males from urban and rural areas in IBADAN, not across Nigeria. Keep in mind, the population of the country was over $120 million when this study was done (circa 1994-1998). Also, phenotype varies widely across the numerous ethnic groups across Nigeria. Ibadan metrics isnt Nigeria metrics.

3. Nutrition and health are important determinants of height, we know that. However genetics is the major determinant.

@Coco Loco @Booksnrain @Milk N Cookies @HarlemHottie @Ashley Banks @Pseudonym @CarmelBarbie would never in their lives be caught wasting their time with a short dude

That’s why so may little petite guys be angry :mjlol:

Put some high heels on you fukking midgets:mjgrin:

:mjlol: Im 5'2", i believe my man is 5'10". I dgaf about height. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Protip: a short woman can comfortably pair with an under 6' guy and have access to the pick of the litter. I find shorter men try harder, just generally: in life, in love, IN SEX, etc. :usure:
