Topic: Is Nigeria homogenous?
Anonymous A started this discussion 6 months ago #127,415
So I was watching this YouTube video last night and this Japanese American guy just casually called Nigeria an ethnically homogenous country in the same sentence as China.

I’m of two minds about this: 100% of people in Nigeria are black and 100% of people in China are Asian. In a way, that is racially homogenous. But then, people say China is homogenous and Nigeria isn’t, because well China is one culture, but in Nigeria, you have the Yorubas and the Igbos and the Muslims and the Christians, but China is 90% is Han Chinese. Except, in China, (before the cultural revolution), there were multiple religious / philosophical traditions, Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Confucianism, etc. And there are multiple languages spoken in China, Shanghainese, Mandarin, Cantonese, etc.
Is this guy smart or is he an idiot?

I mean, Nigeria is very very diverse culturally. But there’s also an argument to be made it’s not diverse.
Take this for example:
When you google, "racial demographics South Africa," you get this:
When you google, "racial demographics Nigeria," you get all the different types of black people they have:
You get what I’m saying? Like is that really the same thing?
Take this for example:
When you google, "racial demographics South Africa," you get this:
South Africa is a diverse nation with a population composed of various racial and ethnic groups. Black Africans constitute the majority, followed by White, Coloured, and Indian/Asian populations. The 2022 census indicates that Black Africans make up approximately 81.4% of the population, while White South Africans account for 7.3%, Coloureds for 8.2%, and Indian/Asians for 2.7%.
When you google, "racial demographics Nigeria," you get all the different types of black people they have:
Nigeria is a nation known for its immense ethnic diversity, with hundreds of ethnic groups and over 500 languages spoken. The three largest groups are the Hausa, Yoruba, and Igbo, who together make up over 60% of the population. These groups, along with others like the Fulani, Kanuri, Tiv, and Ibibio, contribute to the country's rich cultural tapestry.

I guess there’s also just the idea that if there are black people "black people = diversity" because black people are a minority. But if black people round to 100% of the population of a country and all other races are less than 1%, can you really consider them to be a minority?

Nigeria is only diverse in the modernist cult belief that diversity is an inverse measurement of how many white people are there. In reality, its "people"(for lack of a better word) are highly inbred.

Nigeria Clifford Orji.
At a news conference organized by the police, Orji confessed to kidnapping, murder and cannibalism, saying that he and his accomplice "[had] been eating human meat for the past seven years before coming to Lagos. It is our culture to eat human meat." On December 7, 2000, he was remanded for murder in Kirikiri Prison, which is Nigeria's only supermax prison.

A Nigerian supermax? Death would be better.

Nigerians aren’t inbred. They have like 2/3rds the population of the United States, it’s easy for Nigerians to find somebody they’re not related to (unlike some Northern European countries where people have apps on their phones to make sure they’re not related *cough* Iceland).
