Hello family so I decided to share these tribes which I believe will be a good start for all our african diaspora brothers and sisters to find and connect to their original tribes when it comes to relocating to Africa. Researching more about these tribes can bring a connection between you and your tribe. if you have any questions kindly comment below and let me know Join our Facebook Africa travelers group on facebook.com/groups/1740600209548818 You can support this channel on patreon on www.patreon.com/danielboadu

I’m haitian but the motherland is calling me. One day I will go back for my ancestors.

I traced my roots on African Ancestry! I am from Cameroon and 100% Bamileke People! I feel so wonderful knowing where in Africa my maternal ancestors came from! I have been researching everything about Cameroon and the Bamileke People! Thanks for such great information!

My Ancestry traces back to Nigeria, Cameroon and Kongo. Each time I meet an Igbo they tell me I look like one. It’s is strange because from my youth I always Identified as a Hebrew. In fact, the majority of my friends call me Rabbi.

Awesome video brother. I believe the Yoruba ethic group wqs also one of the largest to be captured as slaves. I studied the igbo landing a few years back, and I have to say igbos are amongst the most courageous people on the planet. Upon arrival to America a group of igbo people turned around and drowned themselves. They said freedom was better than breathing.

Great video! I'm African American and recently found out that I'm a descendant of the Fulani tribe from Guinea Bissau. I'm so very proud to be Fulani❤

Appreciate you so much! Glad to have found you here. So informative, and such a pleasant aura.

Thanks for sharing. Very knowledgeable

My brother I salute you, love this video.. Im an "African American " who been on a journey tracing my ancestry; I learn I'm a mixture Mende,Fulani,Yoruba,Temne, and Wolof.

Thanks man for what you're doing. Keep up the good work.

This was amazing! Thank you!!

Excellent info! Thank you for your diligence and research, I hope to learn more.

This is my first time on here. I am soo thankful for you sharing this with me. It has changed my life.

Thank you for this!😊

Thanks for the Video. Such a start Story our ancestors went through. Am from the Chamba tribe in Cameroon 🇨🇲❤️

Thank you so much, my son and I traveled to limbe cameroon Africa for our birthday and we walk through the very same door that our ancestors were forced through as slaves to be sent to the United States.

Great info! Thanks for sharing

Daniel, I am a known Igbo born in Nigeria and raised in the USA. My Dad is actually Nigerian born and my Mom, who is born in the USA (Louisiana) has traced her lineage to the Fulani Tribe. My strong ambitious character as well as my willingness to try new places give validation to both of my parent's tribes. What an awesome combination!!!!

Thank you so much for taking time to do this research and video. Like Oliver Twist once said, "we want some more" of such! Jonas Tumwine, Uganda.

I’ve been (matrilineal) traced to the Mende people living in Sierra Leone 🇸🇱, but I felt very connected to the Asante people while I was in Ghana 🇬🇭.

That was very interesting. Thank You

Hi, it has been my pleasure listening to you. I have learn so much about Africa Cultures. Thank you.

Watching this video led me to stop and imagine what it would have been like to be born, raised, and living in Africa. Just the thought of being in a place where everyone is the same color as me is mind-blowing. I realize that there would still be conflicts and difficulty between people because of human nature, but I’d like to not be the minority everywhere I go.

Diversity as it relates to tribalism has been an attraction, but also Africa's downfall.

Great video!!!!

This is lovely, and very educative

New sub. Thanks for the video.

I appreciate your channel, Brother Daniel. After many years, I found out that I am completely Ewe/Everh on my father’s family side. I would have found out earlier if I had known the Ewe language. My father’s grandmother had “nick names” for many of the family members. What I didn’t know is that these were not nick names, but Ewe Day Names, kente patterns sewing, and some family names past on from Ghana. I thank the Almighty everyday that some customs did survive even after slavery in my family.🙏🏾

Great content on Tribes thanks

Thank you very for your response, it’s a pleasure hearing back from my Brother. Well! I must say am very happy to find my true identity, I was able to connect to family members who are from Nigeria living in Oakland California and they are from the Igbo tribe so they are planning to take me to visit Nigera.

I love that our science has grown in a way that is healing! I can’t imagine not knowing or being able to research your history.

I love your channel man

Thanks Bro Refreshing news They carried us beyond so am Caribbean Jamaica 🇯🇲 I was restoring my fatherland Abron tribes who change their names to koromantee Am a Marroon of Jamaica

I ❤ your channel! Yoruba Tribe-Nigeria 🇳🇬

Thank you for sharing

Thank you. I am from Togo/Benin, Nigeria, Mali and Cameroon mostly

Great information. I feel related to the Fulani Tribe.

Great content 👍👍👍💫

Bro u do all , I love your continent so much , one love from Nigeria.

Excellent content

Brother, I love your content and I love the way you're attempting to bridge the gap between diasporic African descendants throughout the Americas and Africans on the continent especially throughout Western and Central Africa which is where most of their ancestors are from. That said, I find it interesting that you didn't mention the Yoruba peoples of what is now Nigeria and Benin. A significant number of Yorubas were sold, enslaved and, exported to Brasil, various the Caribbean and Central American nations as well as the Southern parts of the US. Unlike most of the other groups sold into slavery, the Yoruba also has the largest remaining cultural influences expressing itself via spiritual beliefs like Candomble, Santaria, Ketu, and a few more where these people openly worship Obatala, Sango, Yemoja, and other Orisas along with their Christian beliefs. Given these deep cultural ties, I would think my other people would have been one of the larger groups sold into slavery. Do you have any numbers for the Yorubas as a whole? Like the Fulani, we, via the Oyo empire, also sold many of our own into slavery and that history saddens me, to say the least.

I learned a lot. Good podcast.

You have great contents Sir. Very educative, well, clean and precise in what you say. Keep it up.

Insightful 👌

thank you.i lovethe way that you taught me.i will keep watching you.God bless you.

...super informative...

Hey my brother I've been watching your channel for a while now but have not subscribe. By doing this video I appreciate it and I am definitely subscribing now. Thanks for the video. I am living in Toronto Canada for the past thirty years but I am originally from Grenada. Grenada is a small island in the Caribbean known as the isle of spice. It is a 133sm with a population of about 115k. I am a descendant of African that was taken by the British and sent to the Caribbean as slaves. I grew up surrounded by Yoruba culture. Yoruba spirituality for that matter. Although most people on the island practice Christianity, when the time of year comes to do your devotion to the ancestral deities you perform your rituals. For me in particular, five years ago I walked away from Christianity and fully embrace orisha. Orisha is the ancient Yoruba spirituality. The islands of Trinidad and Tobago, Grenada, Cuba and Brazil have a strong Yoruba cultural presence. In Grenada it is believed that Yorubas of Nigerian, akan people of gold coast, temmna people of Sierra Leone and a few other ethnic groups were settled there. One cannot be certain because records were not kept. Going by traditions that have been passed down one can conclude. I know my ancestors are calling me back home, I feel it each and every day. I plan on making my way to Yoruba land Nigeria, Osun State to be precise, as soon as this pandemic will allow me to travel.

thank you for the information

Thanks for the information brother! My heart goes out to our brothers and sisters whom their forefathers were abducted! And now they don't know who they are! I like your calmness and beautiful voice. God bless you sir!

Great video Daniel loved it, my family have traced moms side of family to Ghana, with traces of Mali and Cameroon. Interesting that we may be from the Abron people.

Thanks for sharing. I am still searching. I feel connected to both Ghana and Nigeria. One day I will find a trusted black scientists to do my DNA. It's important indeed.

Very educative.

I’ve been to Ghana and the slave coast castle! It changed me since then in December 2015! For you as one will Ghana traces to confirm us Igbo we’re most enslaved in the trans Atlantic slave trade, then I salute you gust! Thanks dear!!

you are giving so much knowledge, unlike other youtubers. im waiting on my dna test . i have about 1-3 weeks left for my results i look like the ashanti ,fulani, guinea people

Hey bro, great video. I have always felt a connection to the igbo people. Because their culture seem familiar to the people of Hampton Roads and Tidewater area where I am from. I later learned that the state of Virginia was nickname , "Igboland, USA". Because of the high number of Igbo people brought there. A cool fact. They build an Igbo village in the Tidewater area some years back to honor Virginia's Igbo heritage. Now every year Igbos of Nigerian immigrants have a festival there with African American that trace there ancestry to the Igbo tribe. But strangely enough. Most DNA test rate me mostly of the Yoruba tribe. But on taking the African Ancestry test. I learned that I am also of Kru ancestry on my father's side and Tikar on my mother's side. Thanks

My paternal lineage is Yoruba but I’ve also traced my lineage to the Igbo, Fulani, Akan, Kongo & some North African groups

I'm from Jamaica I just subscribed to your KZfaq channel. 🔔

Lovely eyes - great video

My brother you are like a gold to our motherland God bless you.

Good morning brother like your channel, name is Dwayne I currently live in the UK but Jamaican born I would like to believe that we are distant relative brother, as I am a 6 generation children of slave. Keep up the good work and keep reaching out to us living in the diaspora thank you brother.

God video bro

I am proud to be Chamba leko, from the descent of the resistance fighters, because others have become Islamized, but we remain traditional, Chamba and proud of it. from North Cameroon

I am from the Djola people of Guinea Bissau on my maternal side. I am very attracted to Ghana and her people. Djola are also in Senegal and The Gambia which is why I’m drawn to The Gambia because they speak English while guinea Bissau speaks Portuguese

Thank you very much.

Thanks for this video. One thing i tried telling our brothers and sisters coming back to the homeland is: 1. West Africa had no borders so is hard to pin point a country where one comes from through DNA. An example of one tribe stretching from Nigeria to Ghana and the only difference is a little change in the language or dialect. 2. It use to be KINGDOMS sometimes with walls and people will rebel, break out to form their own Kingdoms which resulted to wars and scattered us further.

Thank you my brother.

Thankyou my brother.

Great video. Thank you! I just took ancestry tests and found my mother side has some Djola & Fula tribe in Guinea-Bissau. I heard Fula and Fulani are the same. My mother also has Kru people in Liberia, and Mende and Temne in Sierra Leone. I am looking forward to learning more about Africa and our lineage. Peace

thanks for your effort, I am from Dominica and i am Igbo

Our ancestors were Enslaved Afrikans and not slaves. It was not a trade because there was no even exchange. It was an act of human trafficking. It is called the Maafa and not the Transatlantic slave trade nor was it the Middle Passage. We define for ourselves our situation and never use the lexicon of our tormentors. The Afrikan Ancestry DNA test will provide use with the connections to tribes. Thanks for the powerful information.

Most Haitians are descendants to the gbe groups which is mostly of the fon and ewe people that were shipped .then 2nd it's the wolof and fula/serer group around Senegal. And 3 is the coast of central Africa which is mostly of bantus (kongo) tribes.that why in haitian creole there's a small percentage of west African words which is mostly from the fon/ewe and also smaller tribes brought to haiti and most of the words from french were mix with west African words by the enslaved. so some of the heritage that was carry to the island survived.voodoo is religion that came from the fon ,ewe and other nearby tribes.haitians are like the closest to Africans from the diaspora.im Haitian descent a l portion of my ancestry are from fon and ewe tribes from the gbe group

Am a Fulani from Guinée🇬🇳 Conakry, love u guys stay blessed

Thx brother peace African born in America. African all da way

Thank you brother ❤❤❤

Igbo/Youruba for me

I know I am connected with the Akans but I don't know which tribe specifically Great videos

Evan mbula from Kenya Africa watching. Love you all our brothers and sisters.

I’m from Suriname, South America. And thanks to your video i can finally search the origin of my people. My ancestors are from Ghana but i didn’t know which tribe they were from, The Abron People. My grandfather could speak fluently speak “Kromantis”. I don’t know if that’s what it’s called in Africa, but i would love to know. My next vacation is definitely to Ghana🥺✊🏾🇸🇷🇬🇭

Thank you bro! Very educational. What legitimate ancestry company do you highly suggest?

Thank you for important video. I traced my roots to the DeChang/ Bamileke people. I live as an hebrew

I've been doing research to find what tribe my ancestors came from. I really feel a connection to the Himba.

When I traveled to Ghana in January, I learned that I have Ewe ancestry. I also have Ibo ancestry.

i'm yoruba, dads family from nigeria 🇳🇬 mom's side is from ghana. 🇬🇭 me... i was born and raised in america. 🇺🇸

Thank you

Additional Information Bro Boadu. The "Yorubas" are missing. Their "IFA" worship/religion is very visible from the South of United States, to Caribbeans, Cuba, Venezuela, Columbia, Brazil to Argentina. These are the worshippers of Yoruba deities like "Ifa, Ogun, Sango, Oya, Esu-laalu, Egun-gun" et el. In Northern Brazil, Salvador, Bahia, they still speak the Yoruba language (in the ways they still best preserve it after 400 years off the continent) and most in the larger part, still worship these ancestral Yoruba deities. Anthropologically speaking, the Yorubas undoubtedly left traces of their culture and tradition where they were forcibly taken as slaves which could easily be seen nakedly by any full blood-Yoruba from West Africa. Yorubas are identified by their unique tribal marks, clothing-apparels, women weaved-Hair do`s, Nobilities as Kings, Queens, prince and princesses. The traces and give away of Yorubas in diaspora, is the practicing of "Ifa religion" which greatly indicates they`re from Yoruba ancestry. Grandfather's Story; My grandfather told me the story of how he met and eventually married my grandmother, who happens to be a princess, who was being marched to the sea-coast with some 24 other captured slaves approximately from the hinterlands, he however saved them being a hunter, (he hunts big wild animals those days Elephants, leopards, e.t.c) with lots of powerful charms, incantations, kinda half-human, half spirit (he passed away 1996 a baptized catholic). According to what he said, on sighting white men with their black assistant coming towards his direction in the forest, he used incantations to made himself invincible to any naked human eye, only spirits could see him - then realising who they were (those days, news travel around villages that white-men are capturing and bounding in ropes people from villages nearby, and taking to some place at the coast) - according to him, he proceed though incantations to "invoke bees" to come to his aid, by stinging all the evil minded African slave escorts and their white masters, he said this put them into flight and they all ran away dropping all on them, dane-guns too, all scattering into the forest. He then took off the ropes on the slaves, unbound them all and strikingly, he said some do not speak Yoruba language. He however said my grandmother was such a beauty, speaks "Yoruba of Ketu" of present Yewa local government in Ogun-State, Nigeria, and he took her back to her village and surprisingly discovered her village was raided some days before, got to notice her nobility because as soon as they got near her village some people sighted her, and started bowing for her singing her family panegyric. In short, my grand-mother`s father, the king and some hunters who had gone looking for the slave raiders in the forest got sent words that my grandmothers had been found, thus they returned from the expedition of looking for her captured daughter in other to rescue her. On my grandfathers arrival, as compensation to my grandfather, gave my grandmother`s hand in marriage to my grandfather. That is the story of how they met, to forming a family, giving birth to my now late father. (I wish I`d recorded on tape my grandfather's narratives). Certain things I discovered; White men used christianity to cow and disfaze African powerful deities, to anyone reading this, research Yoruba "Ifa worshipping". Ifa is exactly like a bible, with various chapters and verses. White people possesses white magic too (Harry Potter's films illustrate this) however, African beliefs and deities are demonized and labeled as evil by these white men in other to weaken us Africans, and they succeed in just doing that to enhance/facilitate colonization and enslavement - (In African anthropology, you have the choices of utilizing your magic for good or evil - you account to your creator one day what you choose to do with the knowledge of the supernaturals, to help, cure, or destroy others.). On the West coast of Africa, I can authoritatively assert, (after touring from South America, to Central, the Caribbeans to North America) - that slaves were taken from villages & clans who`re mostly located within not more than three to two weeks walk down to the coastal sea waters. check historical facts and some book written. E.g. check Brazilian returnee; (face2faceafrica.com/article/meet-nigerias-first-millionaire-candido-da-rocha-who-sent-his-dirty-clothes-to-britain-for-laundry#:~:text=Born%20in%201860%20in%20Brazil,a%20returnee%20slave%20from%20Brazil.&text=After%20gaining%20his%20freedom%2C%20Esan,business%20empire%20upon%20his%20return). All tribes were directly and indirectly affected, however prominent tribes whose people were taking as slaves were the Yorubas, Mandingo`s, Benin's, Bantus, Wolof`s, Ewe`s Igbo`s, Hausa`s and Akan`s. Fulani`s are too warrior like, they`re Arab like too, they`re not easily tamed or captured. So many others too,. The Yorubas were such that they took with them their cultures and tradition to the new world, which is visible and prominent in Cuba, Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, the Caribbeans, where they mostly practice Yoruba Ifa worshipping till date. Research this information on KZfaq. E.g; Ifa festival or worshipping in Brazil. To all my brothers and sisters in diaspora, I`ll leave you with a certainty, either you`re able to someday return, visit or not, the ancestors reside in y`all, they`re always with you and will never leave you. Olodumare bless Africa Always, Ase !

Traced back to Yoruba in Nigeria💪🏾💪🏾

Thank you for sharing this information. My ancestry traces back to the Fulani people of Cameroon.

Thanks for this. I’m waiting for my DNA results to come back. I think I might be Nigerian so this video will help me a lot when doing my research. Thanks again 🙏🏽

Hi I'm in the southern part of America, enjoyed the video, I think I'm might be from Mande Tribe

Vous êtes un chercheur , agréer, merci

Awesome! Thank you, I did my ancestry. My mother side is Fulani. I’m waiting for my brother to do my dad side. Thank you again.

Thanks

Brother I was born in Haiti but I know that I'm igbo. Thanks for your research my brother.

Thanks for sharing the information. I have done DNA through African Ancestry and my maternal roots were traced to the Tuareq people from Mali. Our paternal roots were traced to the Akan people from Ghana. On my paternal side, we have traced our roots to the Kru people of Liberia and the Balanta people of Guinea-Bissau. I know this may not be accurate, but it does give me a sense of connection.

Love and respect from Aotearoa

Interesting

May I add, my Brother, I am trying my best to return to the Motherland. It is so hard for me to explain the comfort I feel just looking forward to returning, as so many have and intend. In the US, we were taught by some, mislead by others and given a series of lies , which mishaped our views toward ourselves and our home. Today, we see our people for ourselves and can live among our own. We choose to learn from our brothers and sisters, free from the influences of others. The Hon. Marcus Garvey and the Hon. Elijah Muhammad gave us the spark to turn toward our Motherland . For those who wish to remain in the West , we wish them the best, they are still our sisters and brothers. For those of us returning home , my Brother, I ask that you please be patient with us. We have been away in this strange land, living with strange customs and traditions, thinking that these are our ways. We are transitioning back to our real home and must cast off the mental shackles that were imposed on our beloved ancestors. Again, my sincere thanks to your efforts, take care and keep us in mind. The future of the world rests upon the strong, black shoulders of Africa.

well done! accurate as my grand father told it

I live in Linden, Alabama - 75 years old. Recent genetic test results show that my Father came from the Bissa Tribe in Burkina Faso and that Mother belong to the Mende People in Sierra Leone. I believe in Jesus.

Good evening; interesting topic. Am a Jamaican and I just trace my roots true AncestryDNA and am 62%nigerian and am an Igbo tribe I was so shock.
