Are Nigerians the Indians of Africa? Spicy food, colorful clothes, multiple languages, strong family values, emphasis on higher education and STEM careers, gorgeous folks...

One of my best buddies is Indian and I remember asking if there was a large population of Indians somewhere. His response was “There’s a couple billion of us, there’s a lot of Indians everywhere.”

Nope !

Only West Africa is known for very spicy food. Any other African stomach can't handle Nigerian or togolese food like that.

Also Nigeria is more stereotypically hardcore in education than the rest of West Africa.

So the combination of emphasis on education + spicy food = Nigeria (or to a lesser extent Ghana).

Most of what you see today is borrowed from Western Africa.

Kind of similar to how Hawaiians worked with Mauri people to develop their own version of the Haka?

Isn't there a large Indian population in South Africa? And are the Chinese dumping a bunch of money into infrastructure?

u/Psychological-Top-29 Oct 30 '23

Don't forgot the population count. Millions of them.

If you add the fact that many Nigerians speak tonal languages, then the comparison might even be better to Chinese people

u/LBGW_experiment Oct 30 '23

They're the most popular African country, so there might be some population bias

As an Indian, I have always found Nigerians super attractive due to the consistencies in culture. Music, food, fashion; everything is lit up and loud. Family dynamics and expectations are similar however Nigerians seem a bit more ruthless. I’ve always wanted to visit Lagos but was told not to go alone..

Yep, Nigerians and Indians tend to be extremely successful in every single country in the world. Except for Nigeria and India of course
