America Soldier Traces His Root To Igbo Of Biafra, says.. "I AM VERY HAPPY TO BE OF IGBO DESCENT AND LOVE #AKACHUKWU AS MY TRIBAL NAME. � By Lawrence Patterson DNA tested last December with NO CLUE of my African roots just like most descendents of enslaved Africans. I received my results before my 35th birthday in January. I used Ancestry's autosomal DNA test because I wanted to know my entire genetic makeup and I loved the fact that it matches you with relatives through DNA.. Since then, I've found cousins that I haven't seen in years.. While scrolling through matches, I started to encounter cousins with foreign names.. I messaged them and through conversation found out they were Igbo. It all made sense! My family were slaves in Virginia initially and the Igbos were unfortunately the majority of enslaved Africans... I quickly came to the realization that the majority of my ancestors whom I respect were from Biafra.. I've met 5 distant Igbo cousins hailing from Anambra, Imo and Abia state.. They all live in the U.S. minus one who lives in London. I've been a soldier my entire adult life(17 years)... I felt a deep pain learning about the 1967 war. I'm here to learn about my lost culture and one day visit AND contribute to Igboland.. I would like to believe my ancestors will look down upon me favorably for that... I'm VERY proud to be of Igbo descent... The Republican News 4 Likes

Make I correct our new igbo brother. Igbos were not the most enslaved people. we igbos refuse to be enslaved and in Igbo Landing, we choose suicide in river rather than be enslaved. It is central africa that have most slaves |

IGBOMRS: You're wrong, the suicide mission was from one voyage and one ship, there were many, many voyages after that and many Igbo's were enslaved, and yes Igbo's were the most sold into slavery to America. 2 Likes |

shortgun: I appreciate you welcoming him "home", and love that he isn't ashamed of his ancestry. Question for you though. Would you guys truly be willing to accept Black Americans back home...like the Ghanaians do? Or would there be some huge problems? Could both people co-exist? |

Mobilia: Blood they say is thicker than water. We will be willing to receive our kinsmen and unite them with them with our community. This is not the 1st time this is happening, you need to see d funfair,gun salutes and celebrations in our land whenever people like this comes back home. |
