There's nothing I won't hear. Did you hear her accuse me of having multiple IDs? I thought that one had already been proven since?

@You I have 2 accounts - Bigfrancis21 and Bigfrancis021 which I linked up together by following each other. At least I was sincere enough to use the same moniker, the only difference being the digits. And of course, you have multiple accounts as well.

Of course, the profile picture isn't mine. That's Oguchi Onyewu, an Igbo football player who plays for the US national football team. Never did I say that was me. Oh...Please quote me where I did. You're very good at digging up people's past posts. Oh...That means you even have the extra time on your hands to go checking out my profile! grin. While I've never visited yours neither do I even care about you or your uneventful existence.

Go to the 'Igbo Men are the most Handsome Men in Africa' thread and you'll see where I put up the same picture and tagged it correctly. So one isn't free to use any dp of their choice? grin

Well, I see you're rabidly dying to see my face. OlderAmerican has seen my face and knows who I am. News flash: you are not going to see my face. tongue

Wait, who has time to even be following you around? Following you around in the culture section? Lmao. What do you even think you are? I don't even care about your existence. You're making yourself into something when you aren't. You goofed up big time trying to link the congo people with the current congo kingdom or whatever that was and Crayola slayed you on that. This is somebody who parades herself claiming to be all-knowing on slave trade history.

You are absolutely nothing that you claim to be. You claim you aren't stuck to this thread yet you constantly view this thread as guest everyday and then you conveniently turn around to accuse somebody else of the same very thing you do. Unlike me who who's man enough to acknowledge he's a full-fledged member of this thread and I don't need to log off and reload this page and sit down viewing it all day like you do. I visit whenever I'm free, post my comments, leave and face my daily duties.

One thing is sure - I made my point and I thrashed you excellently at it. I used number figures and DNA testing evidence to slay you into pieces. That must really hurt, right?

The only thing left for you is to say Igbo people are manufacturing DNA testing results.

Look at those you call your supporters - funny-acting people of your caliber.

By the way you said the last time you were done with this thread, why poke-nosing into the very same thread you called a 'joke'? grin grin

*Kails*:
look here, this is the ONE and only time I will address this issue
unlike some cowards, when i address people i use ONE account. I don't need to TALK TO or console myself using another I.D. I am grown and have no respect for alt account clowns esp. those who chat shyt.

That's one.

Second the same dude disrespected the fulani ethnic group JUST BECAUSE i said some of our forefathers were fulani among other groups. (Jayvarley, Kwame, and Chima can back me up on that!!) Now just because your "lord and saviour" or should i say really your SECOND PERSONALITY, felt butthurt that he/YOU cannot claim an entire group of people (diaspora blacks) as his/YOUR own, he/YOU resorted to personal and bigoted attacks that were tribalistic in nature.

Because I respect Fulaman, I didn't want him associated with the likes of THAT/YOUR ILK.

And I am done.
FOH with that obviously FAKE profile picture. Now keep recycling this culture section page as guest to see if i left, log on and chat more sh-t if you like, I'm out.

That is where the issue lies. Some people do not want to appreciate the FACTS that the diaspora, come from a blend of African ethnicities and not just one or two.

I have no issues with IGBO people at all. But I will not entertain wild claims that all or most African Americans are purely of IGBO descent.

I was watching a vid on youtube and an AA girl traced her lineage paternally to UGANADA. Can you imagine?
A country so far in the East of Africa nevertheless slaves were obviously marched from there to the West Coast to be SOLD!!

OK, let us think about it logically for a minute.
If most African Americans are mostly of IGBO descent.

What does this say about Nigeria??

I could mean one of two things!

Either

IGBO'S were constantly being defeated in tribal wars and then sold off to Europeans

OR

Nigerians were notorious for selling their own people



Take your pick!

A substantial amount of AAs of partial/full Igbo ancestry keep visiting Igboland each year. Prominent Hollywood stars such as Danny Glover, Wesley Snipes, Danny Whitaker etc who have paternal Igbo ancestries have all visited Igboland. Last year 28 AAs with Igbo ancestries visited Igboland. This year another different set of about 18 of them also paid a visit to Igboland.

Other Hollywood stars with part Igbo ancestries are Blair Underwood, Chris Tucker, Quincy Jones etc.
DNA testing has continued to prove Dr. Chambers Douglas' research conclusion right, that 'at least 60% of African Americans have at least 1 Igbo ancestor'. If that hurts you so much, go and hug the nearest transformer.

I never said that. Neither did I do the research or the DNA testings. I'm only reiterating facts and I'll continue to standby it much to the chagrin of those who choose to be blinded to the real facts.

THESE FALSE CLAIMS DON'T END WITH IGBOS. A RECENT ONE CAME OUT SHOWING THAT AA WERE MAJORITY YORUBA. MOST HISTORIANS CHALLENGED THIS LIE BY LOOKING AT "SLAVE TRADE RECORDS". Its a FACT that there were few YORUBAS imported in USA. Even EzeUche Ibo was one of the people who challenged this on TOPIX and nl.

Yoruba had 47% percent of all the African Americans genome admixtures!

I AGREE, on TOPIX we have discussed these lies the RECENT YORUBA LIE 47% DNA and Chambers lie. Atleast on that one HISTORIANS like Dr Eltis, Dr J Holloway even mentioned the importance of MANDE AND BANTU in his launch of his book AFRICANISMS IN AFRO AMERICAN CULTURE, Dr GM Hall, Dr Linda Heywood she even wrote a book about the CENTRAL AFRICANS/ANGOLA-CONGO trying to HIGHLIGHT THEIR PLIGHT IN AMERICAS.

My say was after 400 years that a LIE. I even made an example of Afrikaners/whites in South Africa, its general belief that theyr DUTCH. But in reality theyr are a mixture of EUROPEANS. Recent DNA tests by Stellenbosch university show theyr Afrikaner nationĀ“s ancestry was Dutch 34.8%, German 33.7%, French 13.2%, Non White/Bantu and Khoisan 6.9%, British 5.2%, Other European nations 2.7%, Unknown 3.5%. Note these people like AAs have been in Africa for 350 years.

Re: Nigerian (igbo) & African American by bigfrancis21: 9:43am On Oct 02, 2013
i find it very interesting and striking that chris tucker's dna testing result turned up to show that he has igbo blood running on both paternal and maternal sides of his lineage, as you can see from the image above. meaning that his paternal family members all have the part igbo blood running in them and his maternal family members too.

That leaves us with a serious and inevitable question to ask, if the igbos weren't taken in substantial numbers as some people would have us believe, then why will Igbo ancestries turn up in both sides of chris tucker's lineage? Genetically speaking, there must have been a substantial Igbo DNA in the AA genome to support this rare genetic phenomenon.

You'll see that DNA testing corroborates Dr. Chambers' research conclusion - at least 60% of AAs have at least 1 Igbo ancestor. His conclusion leaves us with so many possibilities. For example, in cases like Forest Whitaker, Danny Glover, Blair Underwood etc who have paternal Igbo ancestries and cases like Chris Tucker who doesn't have paternal Igbo ancestry but must have had at least 1 Igbo ancestor on both sides of his family such as grandmothers.

My example below shows its the same case with AAs. Theyr are MIXTURE OF 46 TRIBES AS DR HEYWOOD SAID THAN ONE TRIBE. YES "WISHY WASHY TRIBALIST WHO USES MANY ID ON NL" CAN GO AND HANG HIMSELF IF HE THINKS OTHERWISE. Unlike him we ANALYZE HISTORY not so long ago Obamas grand parents one of the 1st slaves taken to America were linked to Southern Cameroon. It took historians to tell everyone that claim was a LIE. ALL 1ST SLAVES IN JAMESTOWN WERE FROM ANGOLA. Today we know Obama is linked to MELUNGUENS. cheesy grin grin grin grin shocked shocked shocked

For those of you laughing that Fashola deported Igbos, I hope you didn't miss the news that he has apologized for his infamous action? He even went on further to admit that during his father's burial, Igbos overwhelmingly donated more condolence gifts(cows) to him even more than his native yoruba people. This is the same Igbos being peddled around that are tribalistic.

The news is all over the internet.
