Do people not understand that West African countries are a recent invention... There a re thousands of people who were moving and trading with one another. Then Via colonialism they became countries but the people in these countries have to sharing DNA since the beginning. In other words all Nigerians have a mixture of different artificial countries in their DNA. That's what a Nigerian is...same with Ghana

There's an Igbo who made a video who has similar results. People moved around. The past is hundreds of thousands of years old. Cameroon is right beside Nigeria, so of course some people could have moved from there. Same thing with Benin/Togo. All those countries are right beside Nigeria...and Nigeria's borders were created by the British...So you're pretty much just a beautiful Naija girl. The Ghana and Mali stuff is definitely real so you probably have ancestors from those places. That's not a bad thing tho.

Thanks for sharing...enjoyed the video. I have to say....it is not about anyone lying to you; it is about history. No African is 100% anything, just like us African Diaspora are not. Many Africans are also mixed and have some sort of ancestor from a country other than the one they claim. First off....women from various tribes were traded, given away, married into other tribes and even kidnapped. As a result, tribes mixed and produced children. Any African who believes that they are from one isolated tribe/country is ignorant and misinformed.

You have to count Cameroon and Benin / Togo as part of Nigeria. The colonizers, carved the area that of West Africa that you are from into Nigeria, Cameroon and Benin / Togo. Many of the people living in those three "countries" are genetically and probably culturally the same people. Yorubas, Igbos, Hausa's and Fulanis live in all three of those countries. Therefore, you really are Nigerian. As far as Ghana is concerned, many people in Nigeria and Ghana traded and interacted for centuries before colonialism came to West Africa. Also, we as Africans, whether born on the continent or throughout the diaspora, we must realize that we are African and we must end tribalism and unite to build a greater Africa as a whole.

@OrmukaOgar7 жыл бұрын

+Ormuka Ogar Yes, I like to look into that because there's so much that we don't know because we've been cut off for so long. I like to see how physical appearance, not just skin complexion but facial features, works. Especially with us who are diaspora because we are blended with so many ethnic groups in West Africa and most of us have white ancestry from the "peculiar institution"
@apgeneticgenealogylover66017 жыл бұрын
+Ormuka Ogar I want to say one thing about the ethnicity results though. Not to confuse you or turn you off or anything, but everybody should know that at this point in time we are still in an early stage with the ethnicity because there hasn't been much data collected. Could you please see this? tracingafricanroots.wordpress.com/ancestrydna-regions/ This might be kind of hard to explain and might sound confusing. But you wouldn't show, at least right now, as "100% Nigerian" because the reference samples they currently have are Yoruba and some Igbo. So only so much of your background, which might be something else like the Efik people, would show affinity to those Yoruba and Efik samples, and the rest would get read as the other samples ancestry.com currently has. Again, that don't mean that the test is worthless to do, because there are other features (the relative matching and health traits in the raw data), that do make the test worthwhile. Just that with the ethnicity, there still needs to be more data collected (more full blooded people from different ethnic groups that need to be sampled) in order to make the ethnicity more accurate. I hope that doesnt sound too confusing.

Also are you interested in looking at the raw data for the health traits with promethease? I think that is important to know for whenever you have kids to see what you can get later and can pass on to them. Plus since there isn't a chain of custody or anything like that, there's no threat to your privacy and promethease deletes your profile after 30 days for extra security.
