Shannon Sharpe is 90% Nigerian

[Malcolmxxx_23]

Wow always assumed he was from that region

Speaking of that region….this news would get the same reaction from me if we found out that @tuckgod was from that specific part of the largest continent and not from the “12 united English colonies of North America”

?? I’m pretty sure most didn’t come from Nigeria.

probably not, but stats say 1 out of every 6 black people on earth is Nigerian

 

[Roid Jones]

@L $ C this from the Aaron Rodgers thread you a trendsetter

That term has to be inducted into the coli lexicon now

 

[Voice of Reason]

It also does not literally mean Nigeria. It actually means the region around Nigeria, which could include Nigeria, Cameroon, Benin, Burkina Faso, Niger, Togo and Ghana. So it is a regional score moreso than a country specific score.

That's why there is push back when folks try to say he's definitively "Nigerian".



Not only is it paternalistic and disrespectful it's inaccurate.

 

[Phitz]

...thread turn hilarious

man was like...

then tried to save his rep like:

 

[Shadow King]

Nigeria is not a group. It is a country with hundreds of different ethnic groups. The score is regional. It is not country specific.

I know this, 90% of 1 region is high for an AA.

Say what you want about @L $ C ,

This thread is rafters worthy...

But at what cost?

Facts just like how any white woman is a PAWG

Right, but what I'm saying is you can't really say the average ADOS person is of only one African heritage.

 

[breakfuss]

Niger or Nigeria means water. It is a Berber word describing the river or great river or something like that. The Niger river starts in the highlands of Guinea then flows north through Mali where it takes a right turn and goes through the modern countries of Niger and Benin and then it empties in Nigeria. So the countries were named after the river that the Berber people see in Mali. A while lady from England actually named the country of Nigeria during British colonialism. Before then that region was a bunch of different empires that the British sacked after those empires had weakened themselves during the slave trade and resultant wars.

Oh yeah, I get that, even if I’m not as well versed in the etymology as you. So thank you. It looks like mods straight merked a discussion we were having earlier in here but I was mostly referring to the contents of that. The designation of “Nigerian” was less important to me than the provenance.

 

[Voice of Reason]

Right, but I'm saying is you can't really say the average ADOS person is of only one African heritage.

Shannon saying he's "Nigerian" is probably not accurate in the sense @Samori Toure was talking about.

 

[Phitz]

Kinda. We’re usually mixed with multiple African groups.

you can be "mixed" with many clans from the SAME country

maybe where he lived in Georgia had mainly one tribe/clan OR many clans from Nigeria

THought so too...did my shyt 5 years ago and I was 90% but my African DNA was all over West and central Africa...im like 20 African nationalities wrapped into one

i dont know how he has 90% of one region/ethnicity...but he is from a rural part of Georgia where it's probably more homogeneous population of blacks
