The DNA registry doesn't have sufficient data to distinguish between African peoples. Africans are the most diverse. A good analysis shouldn't give more than 10% of anything.

[@royfrokello]

The Luo of Cameroon, Gabon and Equitorial Guinea have been confirmed. This group came from Alur who occupy Eastern Congo and Western Uganda, they came to Kenya and Tanzania as the Jok'Omollo. This is interesting as the Luo of Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon had been assimilated and only one man was speaking Luo as at 2010.

Kevin, at 6:34 another possibility, the Viking component in your DNA might have originated here in the US, from mingling of Scandinavian and the British Isles settlers; not necessarily from Viking invasion to the British Isles. Good presentation!👍

For the 2% Equatorial Guinea the explanation is quite simple...Bantus migrated from that area for thousands of years till as recent as the 1920s(courtesy of colonialism having formal borders)and during their migrations it wasn't strange for the migrating communities to trade with the communities they found in their new homes...in order to establish good relations, a wife would be given to the leader of both communities.

True we are from Sudan but when Luos started migrating they formed these Kingdoms in Uganda with Bantus like the Bunyoro Kitara Kingdom,Bachwezi Kingdom etc...already here they had started mixing with Bantus through intermarring and assimilating bantu clans after the fall of these Kingdoms.....around 1490AD the first batch of Luos started migrating into western Kenya where they found Bantus had already settled there they had to battle these tribes in order to settle in those Lands n another method they use was be assimilated or be expelled so in Kenya you'll find Luo clans with Bantu roots eg a tribe like Luo-Abasuba....Basubas are Bantus who got assimilated by Luos reason being they were fugitives from Uganda they killed Kabaka ...so I can understand if she has bantu DNA what I dont understand how come the nilotic DNA didn't show same as Lupita's infact hers was unique mitochondria Eve....the oldest DNA in the world.
