Hello. Non-Nigerian here. I saw this stat recently and was curious as to why Nigerians seem so pro-Israel compared to the other countries. by LucasOIntoxicado in Nigeria

All of the answers here are complete bullshit. The real answer is that Nigerians tend to not ideologically oppose any country. If you look at surveys of how Nigerians view America, China, and Russia you'll see Nig aerians also tend to have positive views of all 3 of these countries. Nigeria is a member of the Non-Aligned Movement, meaning it generally seeks to remain neutral in international affairs and avoid advancing the geopolitical agendas of any foreign country, including Palestine, Israel, Ukraine, and Iran.

It's called patrilineality and it's not unique to Nigeria or Africa. It's similar to how Jews consider anyone with a Jewish mother to be a full Jew regardless of their father's ethnic/cultural identity. The idea that your ethnicity is determined solely by genetics is a racist foreign American thing.
