The few fulanis who have not mixed with Negroids might look good when compared to Negroids, but if soft hair, straight nose are the standards of beauty Then Somalis/Ethio/Eritreans are waaaay better looking than Fulanis.

chulla12: Interesting turn of conversations here...

As for me, I have reservations about dating men from other Nigerian tribes. Especially as an Igbo woman. The perception among Nigerians is that inter-tribal dating is a smudge to women and a blight on the woman's culture.

The way many men of other tribes go on as if Igbo women are cheap prostitutes for Nigerian men disturbs the crap out of me. A few weeks ago I was hit on by an Hausa guy and literally felt my skin crawling with disgust when I thought of the hateful diatribes against Igbo women by others here in NL and other sites. Needless to say I brushed him off there and then.

When I observe pictures of inter-tribal weddings in Nigeria the bride is almost always an Igbo lady. Why? This is very bad trend to me.

Bororojo has a point in sticking to one's culture. This is even more important for girls given Nigeria's harsh climate towards women general.

I now tend to discourage inter-tribal dating for most of my friends. The negative perceptions especially if you are female outweighs the positives, IMO. I commend the Fulanis for understanding this perceptive fact and I wish Igbos would catch on quickly. Marriage and politics in Nigeria cannot be divorced.

Ladies (regardless of tribe) If a guy outside your culture is not available, then go for a non-Nigerian. Inter-tribal dating in Nigeria is a no-no and not worth the stress to me.

Don't let your petty foolishhness cloud your better judgement please. So because of how you percieve hausa guys on the interwebs is shady you then translate it to real life? Whats wrong with you. This is the virtual world remember? If everyone will forward the anger they got in the virtual world to the real world then igbos would have gotten the resentment from most nigerians. Your comment that you felt "cringe and disguted" that a hausa guy was hitting on you is a stark identifier of your type: A BIGOTED TRIBALIST. I also find it funny the excuse tribalists give for their tribalism. They say its because they want to preserve the culture. This is total bullocks. A million igbo or a million fulanis marrying outside of there tribe won't endanger the tribe, it won't stop others from marrying within the tribe thereby growing the tribe. what is even the importance of tribe sef. Is tribe really that important as people make it out to seem? Will your tribe determine if you enter heaven? Isn't tribe at the end of the day just a concocted anomaly to to make people feel important and celebrate useless pride? Does tribeless america, canada, europe, australia stop them from been developed and secure? Can people not exist without tribe. Can people not be humans only? .

hey people, you are taking what i said about exchanging babes too seriously. It was joke please. Though i still stand firm on liking other tribes. That doesn't mean i don't like girls of my tribe(far from it). Infact i also consider fulani girls extremely beautiful and attractive, all i was saying is that given the chance i will prefer a girl of another tribe, But even i know that the most likely situation is that i might end up marrying a cute fulani girl from my home town afterall. Atleast am not saying it must be my tribe.

Wow the babe in the pic below is a beaty to behold. Caught my eye immidiately. Love to all my fulani sisters.

Okay, thanks for the insults. What can I say?

Why would I be a bigoted tribalist and foolish person when the online world is a reflection of reality? I actually have no ill-will towards people of other cultures and appreciate Nigeria's cultural diversity.

However, dating or marriage is a different ball game especially when stereotypes are attached to the ladies involved. There is a certain perception of southern girls, especially Igbo girls that has been rehashed over and over again in this site that maybe some resistance and fall back is needed to counteract such words.

When any non-Igbo guy approaches me I can't help but think that they are driven by ulterior motives if any of vitriol posted here is true. Sorry but it is a complete turn off but also a lesson in life that is duly learnt. I hope other ladies come to see this as well and keep to their cultures.

Diversity is our strength after all.

Yes, I admire the Hausas and Fulanis for their conservative nature with their women, and wish southern tribes (especially Igbos) will emulate them.

It's fine I like your progressive mentality. I hope that some day me, you and Bororojo will become the respective leaders of the Fulbe communities in Nigeria and Cameroon.

Kalvan:

Please calm down with your senseless, tribalistic insults. Whether you think I'm hot or not has nothing to do the validity of my points.

who says fulani men (and women) are not attracted to other tribes?

thats a misconception.

they're attracted to other tribes but they settle down with their own tribe mostly.

besides, most other tribes except for the hausa, do frown on their kids dating fulani, especially if the kid in question is female. [because that means she will leave home].

So, that in itself limits the amount of social interaction between fulani and "other tribes".

which may have given rise to the impression fulani men do not get attracted to non fulani women. They do, but they prefer their own women eventually.

just theorizing here.

and btw, many of the pictures on the thread do not resemble fulani. Are they horners?

Swerve and enter gutter johr.

But why do you believe so much in inter-tribal marriage though?

I honestly think that more insular and conservative groups have better solidarity.

Chulla12, that is nonsense what you said earlier.

Africans are huge hypocrites. I bet you are the type who won't go for any other African group except your own, but when it comes to an Oyibo guy, you will quickly jump ship and immediately forget what you said earlier like the women on these forum do mccheeew

Not attracted to white guys .

In addition, I even reserve the worst conservative mode for them.

Igbo guys mostly. Though Ivoriens/Senegalese men are cute too .

chulla12:

Because we are in a progressive world right now. The reason why Nigeria has not witnessed its full potential is because of the useless tribalism/ethnic bigotry. So many people are 'educated' these days. Igbos, Fulani, Yoruba, Hausa, etc.etc. are all extremely educated now. But with the way we behave towards one another in a non-progressive manner is quite disturbing. I don't mind if I meet a girl of another ethnic group who is beautiful and if she wins my heart so be it. I love all African women, I don't care if they are from my ethnic group or not, as long as they are African.

A good portion of Senegalese men are Fulani fyi

Doesn't matter as long as they are not Nigerian.

The Nigerian factor dents a lot of things, unfortunately.

I'm drawn towards the Wolof looking types though. Dark, tall, broad, smooth skinned. Not too slender features though symmetrical.

Whatever, go and search for one of your Wolof guys at a Laamb competition then.

Haba! Don't be mad now.

Despite my views I still don't speak for all Igbo women.

I'm not upset, it is very difficult for someone to make me upset. I'm just perturbed by Nigeria's backwards mentality sometimes, and the brainwashing that occurs within our respective communities.

But why should a personal dating choice be backward though?

I am very friendly with people from various groups regardless. I think Hausas, Fulanis, Yorubas all have great cultures. Please don't get this twisted in anyway o.

I will give you the benefit of the doubt and hope it is a genuine friendliness, and not one where when you are around your own ethnic group you don't speak ill or with disdain towards the 3 ethnic groups you mentioned.

Ok sah!

I see that you cleaned up the other thread as we discussed a few hours ago. Thank you! I hereby take back some of the mean things I said earlier today .

(See? Me being friendly).

Anyways...goodnight. Tomorrow is another day.

Good night? Do you live in another country? I didn't even know you that you were female at first, I thought you were male.

Fulaman198:

Not really. Live in Nigeria although in another country on holidays. Vacation things.

Why did you think I'm male

Oh ok. haha.

Well have a good one.

Same to you

sakaguchi:
When and where did I say you are a man?
Where and when did I say you are a fulani?
Stop seeing things

You said:
Oh! His subgroup is not pure?
Your own is now the pure subgroup?
Nigga! Keep deluding yourself.


You called me nigga, it is mostly used for men. For both cases it is rather disrespectful
My own subgroup is not fulani related, so find another way to show your fury.
My contribution was not to attack or harrass you, I just stated that Demba Ba was Toucouleur. (Where is the problem??)
Stop being so sensitive, this is just a forum, not real life.
Good day

Yes, these people are Fulani through and through, most of them are from Adamawa between Nigeria and Cameroon. These pictures were posted by Fulanis themselves in another forum. So, no they are not Horners, but west Africans.

I didn't say all of them are not fulani, just that some of the other photos look like horners.

Anyway!

This is a beautiful picture, love it:
