We are not the same
In the course of the blog different aspects of Nigerian culture have been presented and compared. In this post two subcultures of Nigeria will be shown demonstrating that although they belong to the same country, groups with different hobbies, beliefs, religions, professions, and many other things were developed.
Nigeria,is divided between adherents of Christianity, Islam and traditional religion quite similar to polytheism though the exact ratio is uncertain. The majority of Nigerian Muslims are Sunni and are concentrated in mostly the northern region of the country with some Christian population, the same way Christians dominate in the south with some Muslim population. Most Nigerian Christians are Protestant thought about a quarter are Catholic. Nigeria has the largest Muslim population in sub-Saharan Africa. Islam dominates the north and has a number of supporters in the southwestern, Yoruba part of the country. The middle belt of Nigeria contains the most of the minority ethnic groups in Nigeria and they are mostly Christians and members of traditional religions with few Muslim converts.

Hipster
The 21st century hipster is a subculture that emphasizes style, authenticity and uniqueness. Members of the subculture typically do not self-identify as hipsters, and the word hipster is often used as a pejorative for someone who is pretentious or overly trendy. Stereotypical elements include vintage clothes and other non-mainstream fashion, skinny jeans, checked shirts, an ironic moustache or full beard, and big glasses. Historically, African clothing has been framed by the west as a rural phenomenon and predominantly associated with ethnic identity. Now a city like Lagos is on the international fashion map. Some designers are influencing the old clichés, certainly. If you go to cities in places like Ghana and Nigeria you see people dressing in African prints every day. To work, to church, t’s part of day-to-day life there.
