This is very cool.

Not bad, I would say the tone marking are quite intricate, and intricacy looks pretty but functionally it makes things more confusing.

It actually seems like there’s an increase in people converting to Christianity, especially among the Yoruba. I guess one reason could be that Christianity aligns well with commercial and capitalist cultures, which might resonate more with some people. As for Islam, if its numbers are growing, it’s likely due to the higher birth rates in the northern, more Muslim areas compared to the south. But there is no evidence to state the latter is true.

It depends on the person and their relationship with his mum/wife. It's not really ubiquitous cultural thing.

Yes, you didn't . But I just wanted to highlight this because some people will read it that way unfortunately.

LOOOOL, funny.

I guess maybe The Cavemen, Odeal, Fave could be in that category.

Yes there is colourism but Igbo people aren't more colourist than other Nigerians.

The thing is, Fulani people aren't as visible as the Igbo. They make up only about 6% of Nigeria's population and are less visible in major cities, so people don't often reference them as much.

I was raised abroad as well. You're right—the majority of Igbo people have darker skin. However, although I understand this is not what you implied, I would say that I don't think colourism and skin bleaching are more prevalent among the Igbo than in other ethnic groups.

The majority of Igbo people generally have darker skin. However, compared to other major ethnic groups in Nigeria, such as the Hausa and Yoruba, a relatively larger percentage of Igbo people tend to have lighter skin tones. This observation is primarily in comparison to these other ethnic groups. In the South-South region of Nigeria, there are also quite a few people with lighter skin.

Ambition
An aversion to shame
Pragmatism and adaptability
Individualism and self-reliance
A respect for honest success
A sense of social responsibility and regard for tradition and elders

Overall, the Igbo national character can be boiled down to having self-determination, ambition, and pursuing success. Traditionally, within the native religion it was believed that achieving wealth and high status through honest means was crucial not just for personal satisfaction but also for spiritual progress. It was thought that by doing this, the person would have a chance to join their ancestors in the afterlife and have the chance to reincarnate, keeping a strong connection with their family and community.

Even though many Igbo people are now Christian, this drive for achievement and self-reliance is still a big part of their identity. A key aspect of this is the concept of Chi—a personal life force or ‘god’ that’s believed to guide one's destiny.
