Lagos, Nigeria is Crazy (Largest City in Africa - 25 Million People)

[Smashius Clay]

tons of Black vloggers you could have posten in lagos

wtf you need to see in Africa through a white persons eyes?

Cinematography and editing I suppose

 

[invalid]

Fun fact: Over 60% of the population in Lagos live in hand made shanty town squatter slums like this

Before anyone comes in here touting Nigerian inequality *ahem* I mean, excellence

this cac is so predictable.

Facts. Igbos blend in more than Yorubas with ADOS and Jamaicans but Yorubas look like Haitians/black Latinos

Fun fact. The Africans who came to Haiti by order and size (descending) were: Dahomey, Yoruba, Igbo.

 

[froggle]

I wonder if I would be able to blend in outta curiosity as a Black American.

Like would someone that looks like Will Smith but wears what they wear and keep his mouth shut be convincing enough to think he was a native

Instantly, you would not only look different from having that bloodline diluted with CAC genes, even if it is 5 generations removed but the clothes, haircut would also be giveaways

In Cuba it's backwards. Mostly Yoruba, the Kongo, then Igbo and finally a small enclave of Dahomeans in Matanzas province. Dahomey was damn near the Black Sparta tho so it's no wonder why Haitians turned out that patriotic/military inclined.

I'm wondering about people like: Beyonce, Keith Powers, Jada Pinkett Smith<<<Would these people (and by "these people," I mean black people who are lighter in complexion and have more "refined" features) even register as black in Nigeria? Are biracial people thought of as black in Nigeria? The one drop rule never existed there, so I'm assuming someone like Drake, or Zendaya, would be considered non-black in Nigeria.

Biracial people in Nigeria go by their ethnic group (Yoruba, Igbo, etc) just like any other Nigerian. We don't have a category for black.

I’ve made a thread on Lagos as part of my Rate This City series. You all can read people’s experience with the city below if you wish too.

Not sure I’m following Haitians retain the most African DNA out the slave descendants brought to the New World. Some of those black Latino groups are also pretty high in African DNA retention especially Garifunas and Afro-Colombians. I’m guessing Yorubas are lighter? But that wouldn’t fit most Haitians.

 

[Mowgli]

Greater GDP then Austria with over 20 times the population

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

Gotta keep the narratives in check

My brother told me he would never go back to Lagos. Way too insane, too many people.
