No American is you

We have the Crowthers, the Taylors, the Salvadors, the Fowlers, the Fernández, the Martins and others who are former slaves and returned to Yoruba land. We have history of slaves from the North who were carted away during the Trana-Saharan slave trade. These ones however want us to believe they are all from Igboland.

My Wawa niggers want to trick them back so they can do them what they do to foreign visitors in the SE. They better carry plenty armed mopol and soldiers. They are baiting them for Onwa December. Small time now, they would rob and kidnap them.

You'd be surprised to learn that in terms of overall numbers exported, the Yorubas exported the least number of slaves amongst Igbo, Yoruba, Ewe, Akan, Fon etc. Due to the popularity of the Ifa tradition in the west, people often erroneously think Yoruba-descended folks must be the biggest. Slave records show that no more than 500,000 Nago slaves left Yoruba land, about 1/3 which never even left Africa as their slave ships were intercepted by the British on their way to the Americas and they were re-rerouted and resettled in Freetown Sierra Leone (hence the name, Freetown - land of the freed slaves). A good number of those who actually reached South America found their way back to Lagos and Sierra Leone, hence the actual number of Afro-descended folks with Yoruba DNA are far lesser than expected. Akan and Igbo slaves far exceeded over 1 million exports. Yoruba slaves became more prominent around the turn of the 19th century (1800 to 1850), during the abolishment of slavery and the coincidental ongoing Oyo-Dahomey wars that saw the bulk of Yoruba slaves being spoils of war/war captives by the Dahomeyans. Lagos was soon to be made a British colony and the Oba of Lagos directed that all slaves return home. Being more recent and fresh in their minds, far more Yoruba slaves returned to Africa and left the most cultural imprint in the Americas vs other slaves who left much earlier during the peak of slavery and harsh slave living conditions. Thus, Ajayi Crowther was able to return to Lagos from Sierra Leone. So did those from Cuba (Agudas), Sierra Leone (Saros i.e Desmond Elliot's ancestor) etc. Collaboratively, DNA testing is confirming these slave records. I belong to several afro-descended DNA groups on facebook, and I consistently see people post results with Igbo, Akan, Congo ancestry etc than Yoruba. DNA testing is where an AA sends a copy of his DNA to the lab for testing. His gene sequence is mapped out and compared to hundreds of samples of DNA they have in their lab and exact or close matches are located and the person's ancestry is pinpointed down to a specific area. These results can be very specific and accurate if done with the right lab group.

Among afro-descendants, when they start to research into their African roots, they usually come across the Yoruba Ifa religion first, owing to its popularity in Latin America (note that not every Ifa adherent is of Yoruba ancestry, the same way not all Roman Catholics who practice Roman Catholicism are actually from Rome), however when they continue to prod further they often discover more than they met initially.

See the flat head nyamiris...African Americans aren't any Igbos... But collective slaves from different African countries...
That's how they claim to have migrated from Israel... Until Israelis archeologist shut them up... Now it's African Americans... Who we all know come from different countries... Ndi ochi

Ibos were the most slaves taken out from the calabar port let them claim whatever they like

abjisperson:
This isnt even an achievement, yet u re still pained...U guys are jus pathetic

.

Who be this one . Comot for here .
You name says it all

I have read something similar to this on Wikipedia. That explains why black people in yankee too like money and wanna get rich or die trying.

Ibo people are special.

u sound painned. hope u r ok

It doesn't matter where they trace their roots. They're a self-hating bunch that more comfortably identifies with white people. White people really warped them.

First it was Forest Whittaker, then TD Jakes... now all these ones... ! No wonder some of these African Americans get mind like us...bia una welcome When Biafra is actualized, even obodo America will not be able to stop her... I say this because, America was made on the back of slaves (our brothers and sisters) taken forcefully from our shores. I once read how a lot of eastern captured slaves would commit suicide rather than be slaves while on the Slavery ships to North America. The only thing Ndigbo need to learn is how to be United and remain so, when we re gone from this shithole. I say that because, our dividedness has always been the crack in the wall that lizards (of the Yoloba and Northerners) exploit. This dividedness you see amongst African Americans and why Oyinbo they relegate them

Hello Oga! Oga! Don't let envy and jealousy kill and cause you heart attack! Ordinary Fulani herdsmen!!! All African American are igbos while all Fulani herdsmen are............... I think Sudanese or something ]

Anambra bu isi igbo

America don tire these people and they taught Nigeria is a safe haven just the way Nigeria don tire some Nigerians but somebody need to tell them that Nigeria is synonymous to hell fire incase they don't know yet.

NaijaRoyalty:
No place like home

Igbo land is the real home .

Lagos is no man's land .

Keep ranting Lagos is no man's land till Yoruba started pursuing you guys.....rabbish infinitō.

nabiz:
I really need a degree in history and genealogy. This course is untapped in africa

Please do, we need proper historians
Look what our brothers in Aguleri are doing to the igbo ancient culture.
I don't know when white men with long hair became prominent progenitors of the Igbo people... Just utterly and completely ridiculous!

And this is being sold as the origin of Igbo people, with images of Moses and Jesus, and other Bible characters.

Flies in the face of Catherine Acholonu's research in the book "They lived before Adam"
God bless your memory, Prof.

DonCaxton:
Not worth celebrating.
It means Ibo ancestors sold more of their people as slaves than other tribes. That the Ibo man could sell his own kind easily in exchange for gin, mirrors and whatever cheap stuff.
Means those foreign slave-buyers found better deals with the Ibos.
No, it's not an achievement. Rather, it's a saddening information.

is it your selling ??

and if your hands hasn't been more eager to comment than to research;
you would have known the people of the igbo (eboe) country lived in communities autonomous from each other rather than a great empire.

if an okigwe community sells 45 mbano people to the british or whoever as slaves;
does it mean they sold themselves or their brothers ?.

its unlike an oyo man selling an ibadan man.

understand igbo people before u talk.

that is the Jews you people are talking of

Donald Trump will soon trace his roots down to Igbo Land

The largest percentage of African Americans slaves from Nigeria were taken from igboland.

That is a statement of fact.

Revolva:

Most have Igbo DNA.

Apart from the fact that their DNA matches that of the easterners, the fact remain that the Igbo man has been of good behavior and cherishes his heritage which makes this folks wanna identify with them. Nollywood ekelem unu.
God will create me an Igbo man in my next world

Abdul05:
Correct,in short All the African Americans are Igbos

Igbo always Amaka

Oharina:

Illitrate

Thank you prof.

But please educate me from your wealth of knowledge

Are black Americans truly new discovered Igbos?
