From the videos that I have watched on YT, my results generally seem to be more similar to people from Jamaica than any others.

Good video, your Portuguese percentage I'm not surprised as they and the Dutch were the major slave traders/traffickers untill the British RAC (Royal African Company)took over. The Nigerian percentage is most likely majority Igbo from Bonny /Calabar (Bight of Biafra) as they supplied the largest number of slaves to Jamaica, they were the latter slaves to arrive in Jamaica, they also came as indentured servants after slavery had ended and that fairly increased their numbers on the island. You do resemble Igbo alot in the face. The Cameroon Congo is a large area that should be split up, but probably not enough samples from those areas to properly distinguish and compare your Dna to. Ivory Coast and Ghana again no surprises, that area was known as The Ashanti Empire before colonisation and most slaves taken from there were indeed Akan (Ashanti, Fanti, Bono,Akyem etc) also known as Coromantee/Kromanti in Jamaica, though these slaves were the best workers, they were also very skilled and organised in warfare, hence the most rebellious and often escaped to join and form maroon communities, hence why alot of Jamaican culture is similar to Akan because they were the most dominant group. Therefore the British preferred other groups of slaves to be brought instead. Benin/Togo dna is similar to the Yoruba in Nigeria and the Akan in Ghana/Ivory coast I'm glad you have more clarity on your history, more blessings to you ✊🏿

I'm sorry to say but I disagree. The tribe that she most likely comes from is the Yoruba tribe. This is the tribe that straddles Nigeria, Benin and Togo. There are Yorubas in each of these modern day countries. How do I know?

@@blackmagic6 Wrong. You seem to forget that she is 15% Cameroon/Congo. Besides, he Yoruba tibe as you put it were never a group well represented in Jamaica. Jamaica was dominated by the Igbo/Ibibio and the Akan people of Ghana.

[@blackmagic6]

@@raymondmordi7937: From your comment I can see that you do not know what you are talking about. Let me repeat, I am Yoruba and from Nigeria and I know the people from Nigeria very well... and our history. You state that because the lady in question's DNA is from a country which borders Nigeria on the South East i.e. Cameroon and she has Nigerian DNA that she is most likely Igbo/Ibibio. Wow. It is apparent that you have not considered that the eastern part of Nigeria consists of more than 50 different tribes, all distinctive in language and culture. But in your mind she has to be Igbo/Ibibio...right? However, the South western part of Nigeria, which borders Benin and Togo, has one tribe with many dialects but one language and culture and the second biggest tribe in Nigeria (and it would be the largest if not for being divided during colonisation)..... the Yoruba tribe. Do the maths. Learn Nigeria's history and demography and then come back to me. I'll wait. PS: I was actually in Cameroon some years ago. I crossed the border from North Eastern Nigeria (Maiduguri) to get into Cameroon. Cameroon and Nigeria share a border right across Nigeria's eastern flank i.e. From North East Nigeria to South East Nigeria. Therefore by your own logic why did you exclude the Hausa tribe, which share a larger part of the border with Cameroon, as a possibility as to where she could have come from? I'll wait.

[@raymondmordi7937]

@@blackmagic6 You are definitely from the Yoruba tribe and you tribalism is no surprise to me. It is on record where the slaves taken to Jamaica were sourced from in Africa and these were mainly from the Gold Coast (Ghana) and Bight of Biafra (Nigeria) and the two domiant groups from Nigeria were the Moko (Ibibio) and Eboe(Igbo). These are well known facts even Jamaicans know these facts. And this is confirmed by her Benin/Togo and Cameroon/Congo admixtures. Yorubas usually do not score high for Cameroon/Congo...this is simple logic. Nobody disputes the fact that lots of Youbas were taken to places like Brazil (Bahia) and Cuba. While lots of Igbos were taken to the Anglophone and Francophone realm. The reason for this is tied to history. Yorubas only became the dominant enslaved people from the 1800s courtesy of the intra Yoruba wars of that era. At that time the British, Americans and French had already abolished trade in slaves from Africa. The Potuguese and Spanish no! You also brought the issue of Hausa "tribe"...well prior to the 1800s, most Hausas were taken across the Sahara and that is entirely a different aspect. But from the 1800s, the Hausas and other groups in Northern Nigeria had become victims of Fulani conquest and many of them wee sold. These happened long after slavery had been abolished in Jamaica.

[@gin6760]

@Papaskull876 Canada is a very well-respected country. We are considered progressive, yet we do these things to the Original People! We all see the chaos and violence you went through fighting for your freedom in the States. We see that your school system was integrated in the 1960s. Canadians feel like they are not racist, but they are, and they are unaware. Canada's segregated school system finally shut down in 1996! And yes, we had children who had to cross a picket line of racist idiot parents screaming and yelling at our little children. They were holding signs that said, "No Savages sitting next to my children!" Because our school system was segregated against INDIGENOUS children and not black children, somehow Canadians don't see it as racist! Our children spoke Indigenous languages and many had never seen a white person before, so Canada felt we needed to be removed from our parents so that they could have COMPLETE CONTROL over our people. They could teach us how to become proper white people. They would teach us their European languages, French and English, depending on where in Canada we lived. It was run by priests and nuns, both of which raped little children. My uncles say you could hear their Ominous footsteps in the middle of the night to sneak away their young victims. Most victims were returned in the morning, but some were just never seen again. Sometimes less than 50% of Indigenous children survived those 'schools'. Canada debated in our parliament whether to protect our little children from the rapes and physical and sexual abuse running rampant in those schools. In the end, they voted to 'protect the Canadian taxpayer'. It is very hard on me to see black people calling us white, calling us $5.00 Indians. It is so Hurtful, and so Not true. If it were true that we aren't the real Indigenous Canadians then black people would have been forced into residential schools, black children would have been removed from their parents and forcibly raised by white people. Black people would be the ones being sterilized and having needles stuck through their tongues because they spoke indigenous languages. But they aren't, we are. The last Indigenous woman forcibly sterilized in Canada was in 2018! I go to all my 19-year-old daughters' doctor appointments just to make sure nothing happens to her. Research the name Joyce Echequan video. She died at the hands of nurses, and she live streamed her own death to show Canadians what she and many Native Canadians go through in our 'healthcare' system. Her screams to them that they overdosed her on medication fell on deaf ears. They Mocked her as she DIED, telling her that as an Indigenous woman she was "only good for sex"! PLEASE shut down all racists who call us $5.00 Indians and call us white. You have No Idea the fight we have up here. It is So Bad, that the Canadian government is Afraid that Black Lives Matter will come up her and wreak havoc to defend us. They don't know that really, No One will help us. We are in a totally different country.

[@sandrashakespeare5608]

I think it's TRUE, most Jamaicans with an asian ancestry are related to the first inhabitants (Tainos) of Jamaica, not the current population of east asians. I don't believe any talk about the Tainos having been entirely destroyed, when the first Africans arrived in early 1500s Tainos were obviously surviving or escaping to the mountains as the Maroons later did and they integrated. Hence the taino parts of our food and culture such as jerk and bammy.

The tribe that she most likely comes from is the Yoruba tribe. This is the tribe that straddles Nigeria, Benin and Togo. There are Yorubas in each of these modern day countries. How do I know? I'm a Yoruba man and therefore a continental African who did a DNA test and discovered that I'm 72% Nigerian and 28% Benin and Togo. Yorubas were separated by colonisation.

The Ewes also occupy Togo, Benin and Nigeria. Let me not forget Ghana

[@blackmagic6]

@@selasedu: Wow …. I didn’t know that. Thanks for the info. However, I also discovered when I read some of the comments that the lady in question i.e. "The Pearls and Perils" confirmed in a reply to Courtney Davis that she is indeed of Yoruba heritage, in which she says "That's so interesting I'm also part Yoruba, Mandeka and Masai 🥰".

[@selasedu]

@@blackmagic6 The Ewes lived in what is now known as the Osun and Kwara states of Nigeria. Two states currently dominated by Yoruba people. The Ewes ultimately moved westward in large numbers as a result of the rise of the Oyo empire. Benin which was once called Dahomey, translates to land of the snakes in Ewe/Fon. Cotonou the capital translates to death at the mouth of the river Bank in Ewe/Fon.

@UCH114rtfNx9MwAh_qPQs9Zg: Once again thanks for the info. This is something that interests me so you’ve definitely given me something to research. One of the causes for the break up and separation of African people was definitely colonialism. The more I discover the impact of colonialism, the more I feel we as Africans need to acknowledge it…. because of the legacy of the trauma that it has caused.

[@selasedu]

@@blackmagic6 I agree! Wish you all the best

Ancestry DNA videos cannot be complete until you name your paternal and maternal haplogroups and from which countries your DNA matches came from. As a matter of fact, as far as I'm concerned, your DNA matches is as important as the demographics. Your maternal and paternal haplogroups show your founding roots.

People we're probably mobile so married people from other places..hence DNA. But I do not like the change cause it leaves you unsure of truth.

[@leroyjful]

Our ancestors were bought to America, and the Caribbean islands, as slaves.... Although they were though of as being Africans, they as well as you are not Africans... Please let me explain..... I'm sure you know about the flood where Noah, his wife and their 3 sons and their wives were the only people left on earth... Ham the youngest son of Noah, was the progenitor of the dark races, like the Egyptians, Ethiopians, Canaanites, Libyans, and Africans, but not the Negroes...... Shem, was the progenitor of the Negroes, and he was the father of Abraham who was the first Hebrew, and the father of Isacc, and Is acc was the father of Esau, and Jacob.... GOD changed Jacob's name to Israel, Jacob was the father of 12 sons, who became the 12 tribes of Israel.... GOD made a covenant with Israel and told them what would happen if they broke the covenant..... Which they did.....( Please read your Bible in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 28, regarding the blessing and the cursess).... After the tribe of Judah did evil, they were run out of Israel, by the Romans into Africa where they finally settled in West Africa.... ( Please do a Internet search for the New and Accurate Map of Negro Land )...... There you will see the Gold Coast, Ivory Coast, and the Slave Coast, along with the Kingdom of Judah..... When Slavery started in Africa, it was not Africans who was sold into slavery.... It was the original Hebrews, from the tribe of Judah.... It was your and my, forefathers who were slaves.... In 1999, President Mathieu Kerekou, of Benin issued a national apology for the role Africans played in the Atlantic Slave Trade.... You were never African, but you are a Hebrew by birth right!!!!

[@james56660]

I am surprised too. I thought you have Ghanaian genes.☝️

[@michaelilori1776]

You should not be too shocked about the Senegalese presence in your DNA. Dutty Boukman, who read out that celebrated speech during the famous voudon ceremony held in Bois Caiman (Alligator Woods) that sparked the slave rebellion that eventually became the Haitian revolution, actually came from Jamaica but was born in the Senegambia (Senegal/Gambia) region. So you may well be related to one of the most important black people to have ever lived, the catalyst of one of the most momentous events in history!! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutty_Boukman#Ceremony_at_the_Bois_Ca%C3%AFman
