According to the way I observe our African brothers and sister from the continent, I’m saying SOME of those that I see here in America and also on KZfaq, I come to realize that the entire continent of Africa has failed to teach Africans of the history of its children who have been brought to slavery in the Caribbean and other places on the globe. It hurts a lot that our Mother, brothers and sisters don’t know who we are, us Black people in the diaspora. However, we, at least us in Haiti have been taught of our African ancestry, and our African history (as a whole) going as far back as possible. In fact, Africa is in our DNA, it’s our identity, Africa is who we are; we have never forgotten Africa, we can never, ever forget Africa. That is the reason why, at least those of us who went to school and have learned about African history (who we are), we know that we are Africans and we love, we long for our African brothers and sisters as well as the land of Africa. Unlike certain others that I see bickering on KZfaq. We Haitians don’t know/recall what specific tribes we came from, therefore we don’t practice tribalism - we’re an all inclusive African nation. Time and slavery have erased that recollection from our minds. However, in Haiti we know that we come from all over the land of Africa, not from a specific country and not from a specific tribe. We became one African people in the new world that they brought us to, and later on we took on the identity of Haitians because we had to have a western identity out there where they brought us to - while we still hold on our identity of being Africans. When the colonizers brought us over to the New World (the entire Caribbean), we did not come from some specific countries from Africa because back then Africa was not yet divided into different countries like they have it now, Africa was one big plot of land that was inhabited by Africans/Black people. Therefore, they took us as a big pool of Black people, not specifically from any country or any tribe. And when they got to the New World, they split us, they took whole families, whole tribes, whole villages, and they spread us one by one to go to different islands - so families were scattered and shattered. Villages were shattered, tribes were separated; that’s what Haiti is at this time: an African quilt. And I would say that’s not just Haiti, but the entire Caribbean nations, or the entire African diaspora is a conglomerate of different tribes from the continent of Africa. Therefore, DNA testing will not accurately help in finding out what country we the African diaspora are from, it’s suffices to say that we are from Africa, that’s all that matters. Of course, certain ways of doing things may differ based on what tribes we came from, it’s for African Anthropologists from the motherland to identify where on the land or what tribe of Africa that’s from. But because of long periods of brainwashing, mind blowing, slavery, it’s only human to forget what tribes we’re from, because the white men made sure that they erased our identities and they successfully did that. Because of the lack of education, where the countries of Africa have failed to educate Africans and the school children of their brethren in the diaspora, I observed that some Africans from the land of Africa are rejectful of us Africans in the diaspora. For example, I hear too many shenanigans going on between some countries in Africa and the black Americans on KZfaq. That is so unnecessary. I blame the governments of the countries of Africa for not teaching the people that they have brothers and sisters out here that were sold into slavery. You can be ashamed of that fact, that’s understandable; but you can be also apologetic, that will suffice to us because we love you, and you remain our brothers and sisters regardless. But to deny us of our Africanism is seriously hurtful. For example, the Haitian government under the leadership of the beloved, deceased President Jovenel Moise, had requested the inclusion of Haiti into the African Union for which Haiti was denied entry; reason: because Haiti is too far from the continent of Africa…. WOW!!!!!! That is a big old shame on AU as well as the entire continent of Africa. That’s a shame! America is not located in Europe, but rest assured it is in the European Union one way or another. America is a member of NATO. Does the European Union claim that America is too far to be included in these Européen organizations? NO. Why does the African Union reject Haiti on the basis that it’s too far from the continent of Africa…….?????? I wander if England, US, Russia, China, I*S*R*L wanted to be included in the African union if they also would be denied ……. HMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!

Hello, I’m from America and traced my ancestry on my mother and father’s side back to the Igbos. I’m blessed to have had the opportunity to communicate with some of my Igbo relatives as well. God is amazing.

I'm from Afghanistan Nigerians show some love to me... I'm a big fan of the African culture and especially Nigerian music at list we have one thing in common

Is very hurting when you hear about igbo's all over the world. May God almighty bring us together again. In Jesus' name, Amen 🙏🏻

I feel so bad and I still believe our brother's and sisters will surely come when we restored our nation Biafra

You're speaking the truth as I know it already. Ever since I was a tiny girl I knew that my family roots were IGBO because my aunty, who pratiquely raised me never failed to remind us that we are people of great value but we've lost ranks when we became slaves however we should never forget that we are royalty.

I am from the island of St.Lucia, I did my DNA and I am 54 % Nigeria. I remember my mom saying the first daughter is named Ada which my great aunty was named Ada. I have been to Igbo functions and the connection is so strong our traditional music is similar. I have also been to Nigeria among the Yoruba people but the connection is stronger with Igbo people. I have 2 friends that I have never meet, we were introduced via phone and we are still friends up to today.

How I long to see the angel with this combinations of sweet voice, historical brain, love for her Igbo tribe, command of language, etc. Ada oma, I say up you. I had done anything to know the beauty behind all these qualities. God, keep blessing you 🙏

The songs we we singing was a prouve of our origin song Li if I was there when my grand mother was a life she would’ve teaching me how to dance Igbo I understand this song in 2008 When I find out what tribe I belong to good jobs sister ❤🇭🇹🙏🏾🇭🇹🇭🇹

We're igbo and we're the richest, enterprises, entrepreneurs, businessmen and businesswomen, we've focus, we're blessed, we're Godly people ❤❤❤. I am proudly igbo ❤❤❤

I had goosebumps and cried on my trip to Africa. The West Africans looked like Haitians and have the same mannerisms.

The igbos = Biblical Hebrews will be gathered from all over the earth and back to iģbo land to worship God almighty 🙏

I feel like crying this Biafra Nigeria war really effected igbos Wel well

The gathering is on going worldwide, watch out for sahel, for our redemption dreweth nigh. Apttmh

Powerful daughter of, NDI IGBO. Keep up the good work ❤🎉

I look up to see the day that all the Igbos around the world will come together and celebrate together and know ourselves

I recall many children being transported to Gabon for kwashiorkor treatment. There were children from my village who returned after the war. They wore id tags on their neck, and we were told that no one claimed some of the children after the war, possibly because many had become orphans due to the war. So, yes. I can see why there would be many Igbos there.

There are strong links between igbos and sossos tn guinea conakry. lets dwell on that as well

These are our people, look at the gap in his teeth. I am crying as I write. Our brother indeed!

I love what you are doing, rest asuré, we are coming home.

Good job sister. The release of MNK from prison will kick start this movement

Thanks so much for the video I was among the people that was chosen to go to Gabon,I was there between 1967- 1970 I know that some of us stayed back.

Im part Igbo too based on my DNA test and from Grenada, people always take disadvantage of us wherever we are, we have been through revolution and an uprising in the Past

Do a topic about igbos in sierra leone 🇸🇱 and Liberia 🇱🇷

There is Igbo tribes in Ivory coast too.

Chaii,Ngoo.I di too much.Thank you so much for everything.So important & vital information for every igbo person.Welldone,Ngoo.Ur number 1 fan❤

Love the piece. Igbos are truly scattered. 🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️

Over five thousand lgbos were brought to Island of St. Lucia in Caribbean.

This is awesome. Welcome back our brothers and sisters

My lgbo brothers and sisters God Almighty will bless you people wherever you are and one day God will bring all us together in Jesus Christ name Amen.

Is better that is them our Igbo brother and sister that come to take the land than fulanis

This is amazing,n heartbreaking too

My best friend was originally from Gabon and he is Ikechukwu and i asked him , how and he told me igbo is a tribe in Gabon 😮😮😮. I was shocked and told me the Gabon president is igbo

Our Haitian brothers and sisters are of the 12 Tribes of Israel; we are all connected. The scattered are being gathered back together. 🙏🏿🖤💪🏿

Ada anyi, you are really doing a wonderful job through your researches and presentations on Igbo ethnicity, culture and heritage. I always look forward for the latest presentation in your channel, because you are very informative and brain storming. You reach backward to pull the past and to embellish the present with historical resources for our collective understanding and greater survival as Ndi Igbo. Ngozi keep it going. Chukwu gozie ma chekwa gi o! Iseee!

The first comander that freed the haiti 🇭🇹 is an igbo

Love this. Kindly explore more

This is why the French imposed the French language on Haiti to help confusion and eradicate the memory of our origins

I m born native igbo mother side and Yeruba father side. I learned from grand parents since I was 3 years old. I never rejected my igbo culture. I was from directly an igbo king in Haiti named Christopher Henry. 9:19 Igbo lele nou se Granmoune oh!!!

✌✌✌🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹

May the lord God almighty bless you real good for the beautiful job that you are doing

He is from Ogbodi ukwu in Umuopara, Umuahia Abia State, one day Chukwuokike abiaama will touch him, because isi nwa Ogbodi anaghi efu na mba.

I find out I’m Igbo when I moved in Toronto when a lot of African even speaking Igbo with me until a lady explained to me I that you’re from the Igbo tribe and I was looking for more info about the tribe and I looked so much like the tribe

You are doing so very well. Visiting to do a talk on Igbo historiography will make sense and will be a welcome development. I am Eugene Chinedu a Historian

You are doing a nice work. Keep it up

Thank you for this amazing job

This is our igbo people scattered worldwide, Deuteronomy 28 vs 64

Thank you for this research.

We need more African to come to Haiti to develop the economy it’s been too long guys

Thank you ❤

It's no secret that Igbo children were sent in mass to Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Ivory Coast, and some other countries that accepted those children during the Nigerian Civil War. The Red Cross and some Christian organizations like the Catholic relief agencies have these children in refugee camps in Ihiala, Uli and Awo-mama, and various locations during the Nigerian Civil War. These Christian relief Organizations has records of the Airlifts from then Uli Airstrip to these countries. Nigeria government and the Igbos Organizations should check up on these Nigerians .It will be tragic if these Igbos kids, now adults are not checked up on and maybe connect to their relatives in Igbo land.

thank you

Our brothers and sisters will be given citizenship of Biafra once Biafra comes and after conducting DNA test on anyone that claims igbo

Love history i we never forget😢😂

You people should come back

Thank you so much my sister for this hard work. Please can I know the city and town name where we can go and relax with them, incase one happens to be there.

I feel like crying but my consolation is that when Biafra comes Igbos all over the will have a second in Biafra

They shall be welcome back to the mainstream of their success as God promised. There's serious work to be done by them and us. They have lost our original adage( onye na tu mmadu ofu aka ,ano indi ozo ana tu ya).. They must be welcomed back home at the appropriate time. From the current prophet of Umuezumezu

God will bless you and enable you the more to be finding out the Igbos where ever they are in African and in the world at large. God will bless all the Igbos in biafra land and in other lands in the world and bring them back to their original land Biafra. As God said HE WILLGATHER HIS PEOPPE TOGETHER AGAIN.

It gladdens my heart the way some of these our long lost relations are being rediscovered and I am looking forward to one day see them reunite with the rest of their brothers and sisters.But their are some of our brothers and sisters who have really made names for themselves but are not showing any kind of interest or care know what is going with the igbo race. I believe that these set of people should be forgotten entirely and focus more on how to make things better for our people

I’m Igbo base in Nigeria 🇳🇬

😢😢😢 so Speechless 😢😢😢

Someone needs to invite me to Enugu so I can get my Igbo name and give up that French name I have. I am always mistaken for an Igbo when they see me. I used to be very confused until my brother said he was also being approached by Igbos who thought he was from their tribe. Then I got introduced to Nigerian films and noticed all the actors looked like my cousins and siblings. It was interesting. I was even picking up words that exist in Haitian Creole: Akrena, abodjo, nwasisi, guede, anasi. Then my DNA test showed that most of my ancestry came from northern Cameroon and southern Nigeria. I think that's Igboland, isn't it?

The Ibos are like the RAYS of the SUN, every "plant" needs the RAYS to grow and flourish

Yes we need to no and learn who we are

Not only Igbo Yoruba as well.❤

😢😢

How do you spell the ancient god? Please and thank you

God will restore u 😢😢

The yorubas and especially the fulanis were never enslaved. The fulanis were the slave hunters.

Good job Nwa Ada Igbo Thank you for your rare project to fish out Umu Afo Igbo where ever they are scattered. It recently came thru US justice dep declassified document that the massacre of Igbos in Nigeria was the first genocide in African soil in recent times. But for the wicked souls that reign over our land admitting this and formerly apologizing to ndi Igbo would be the last thing ever. I don't care what you you say or believe about Rwandan president Paul Kagame, history will forever remember and history will be kind to him. Barely 20 yrs ago Rwuanandans witnessed a genocidal killings against Hutis but today Paul Kagame fought hard to unify his country and those killed are memorialized and there is a national holidays. All this had started a national healing since took over. Blood is flowing in Nigeria until they publicly acknowledge the atrocities against the Igbo.

Odimba Bernard Bongo, they will all come back as long Biafra restoration are perfected

Iam sure there will be exodus to land of BIAFRA according to the scripture the beginging of end ie here thanks ADA KA IBEYA

jisie ike nwannem nwanyị

The Fulanis? even Hausas, in connection to trace of Igbos in slavery trade, has no connection in human history, do ur research. Thank you for bringing Haitians and other our Igbo brothers to Igbo world inclusive.

Fulani and Hausa are more scattered in Africa than igbos

How did this tribe become part of the slave trade if they're landlocked in the thick forest of south east Nigeria? And, if they were warriors, what are the tribes and kingdoms they went to war against? It'll be interesting to know.

The presenter of this video is totally ignorance, how could he use the term Southeast for God sake? Igbos are far larger than Southeast, is it Southeast that was created in 1998 by General Sani Abacha, so Igbos are far larger than the nonsense Southeast the giy was using here.

lt''s funny that the yoruba that wrote the quran,the edo and benin that wrote the bible are not claiming anything but lgbos.😅African tribes are everywhere,as far as there are black people there..

Fulani were slave raiders

As an Igbo man in NYC for more than 20 years, I disagree that igbos were taken to Haiti. There are lots of Haitians in NYC, and there is no characteristics of igbos in Haitians. Igbos are aggressive, Haitians are timid, Igbos are business minded, Haitians are not, Igbos are competitive in business and assist one another, Haitians are wicked towards each. I see Igboness in Jamaica due to their small business initiatives and aggressiveness. Haitians are from Benin Republic next to Nigeria, and are related to yoruba.

YOU MADE ME PROUD YOUR PRESENTATION FEELS SO GOOD IN MY SOUL.. I LOVE YOU QUEEN SISTER ❤❤❤❤❤

😭😭😭😭 What the war did to our fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters. This reminds me of the song my mum used to sing when she remembers the Genocide war against the Biafrans. (Onye eche fu na chi ya a'yee, Onye eche fu na chi ya a'yee, Onye eche fu na chi ya; O'che fu ru chi ya anighi aga mba, mga emere gi ni m'ewere úpa ite te nwam n'ihu, anya miri eru o nwam, m'si ya ebe la na àya mkpa tara ya: áya na bewo kam'la wa o kam nla wa) Our parents really lose bounds with our brothers and sisters and send them away from Nigeria should in case the war consumed them all that they (our brothers and sisters) may rise seeds wherever they found life and solvived and asked them never to forget where and whom they are. Tears already in my eyes and the pains of that genocide war by Guwon and Aubrey will never die in our hearts. We shall pass this message on in anywhere we found ourselves.

It shall never be well with evil britain

They are in Ivory Coast too In Treichville an area called Biafra and come when the war Biafra started and the biggest criminals and drugs dealer in ivory Coast

Why is he not speaking igbo😢
