JiggamanGh: what means Ivory/Ghana? Benin/Togo, and not Benin/Nigeria or Nigeria/Congo? I know where this come from, I heard that the Comp. call ""Ancestry Composition of African American"" is biased maybe infiltrated to give more percentage to Nigeria. I watched some people complaining after taken a second test came out to be way different from what they first got from ""Ancestry Composition of African American"" I'm still looking into it though. |

sukkot: you're wrong I did the research myself, on Google if you enter something like "African American Celebrities" tracing their African Ancestry " Cameron get at least 04 to 07 in 10 results following by Sierra Leone. and if some want maybe to say that Nigeria contributed more slave back in the day, if you dig little more. the record shows that many Nigerian slaves were mostly revolted and worst, suicidal. before diseases, many were shot alone the way, from the Biafra shore to the farm on the work place overseas. its estimated that on 100 Nigerian slave, only between 55 to 70 made it touching other shore between what many continue to pay for their rebellious attitude, and did not make it to have children. that maybe some how explain a lot. 1 Like 1 Share |

Safe to say Cameroonian slaves were the ones transported to the united states. not only Cameroon slave, many other slaves too. the record shows that the Bamileke and Tikar Cameroon slaves were the HD maybe the Caviar of slave. they describe them to be bodily well build, white teeth some how more obedient and more put, and less sick. its said that some of slave master went on not to even mix them with other slave to avoid any disease contamination. that is why the Tikar/Bamileke were mostly for the best market in north America. and they knew how to hold their statute being slave. some even went to offer a deal to their masters. as soon they could speak fluently, they liked to cut a limited number of year of hard work to reach their freedom in a contract if you can call it so in exchange of some high productivities in the farm whatever they were put to do. strategy that pay off for them as many made it to raise families. meanwhile other slaves women and men, were ready to die trying to take control at the first chance, or run and be hunted down and hang. 1 Like 1 Share |

shamiraaa:^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^ This is quite correct. For e.g. Ibos were known for committing SUICIDE by hanging or some other means. From the historical archives I read almost 30 years ago[1989/1990] the white slave buyers/owners started REJECTING Ibos because of this suicidal tendency in places such as the U.S and Jamaica. American and English slave ships used to come in the late 1700s to Bonny Island and they kept written records of their transactions while the Ijaws served as middle men - making fantastic returns along with the Aros who brought mainly Ibo captives and others from the interior. 4 out of 5 of those taken as captives annually from Bonny Island according to the written records of an American slave ship captain were Ibo in the late 1700s! New arrivals also had the fear that they were going to be eaten/cannibalised and it propably contributed to the drowning/stampede that is now called Ebo landing as a result of fear. The white guys who brought them said there was panic among those who survived the voyage to America with some getting drowned but others survived. The death toll was very high on those EVIL slave ships. However, Rev. T.D. Jakes' family had the story passed down that his paternal grandmother was of "Eboe"/Ibo origin... and when Jakes did the DNA test in the late 2006 the test tallied with Ibo in Nigeria. His maternal line came from one of the West African countries which I can't recall off hand. Hope this helps. |

2cato: Try to learn that there are things u don't know. That u don't have knowledge of an issue doesn't make it false. Bishop TD jakes have paid historians n they traced his ancestry to Anambra state,He said it himself in videos u can find online. Wesley snipes is not just an Igbo man by mouth, He has come back to his Ancestral home in Anambra n even received a chieftaincy title to that effect. He's from Onitsha. And very many more. |

Konquest: ur post has many falsehoods. "" slave buyers/owners started REJECTING Ibos because of this suicidal tendency in places such as the U.S and Jamaica."" Igbo sales were hot cakes because they were extremely intelligent. In fact it got to a stage where slave owners stopped allowing their Igbo slaves to mingle with other slaves because igbos will corrupt them with "knowledge". Igbo slaves were notorious for gaining their freedom in record speed as a result of their intelligence n ability to make money even as slaves. Pls read about the Igbo landing again, The info u dropped on it is very faulty. |
Re: American Celebrities Who Traced Their African Roots by Nobody: 8:07am On Aug 25, 2018 |
shamiraaa:Wesley snipes identified as Igbo from Anambra state n have even come to Igbo land n collected a chieftaincy title. I clearly remember this event,it was some years after my secondary school days. His title is Ikemba ndi Mbaukwu. |

PrecisionFx: I made that comment 4 years back, even then I didn't doubt that the bishop is igbo, I was just fascinated |
