Meet A Black-American Soldier Who Traced His Igbo Origin through DNA Since the inception of the Igbo Village in Virginia, USA, many African-Americans have attended events there and see the passion and doggedness of the Igbo and felt belong. Historically, Virginia was a place where the African slaves, mostly the Igbo descents first landed during the Transatlantic Slave Trade era. They have multiplied and gave birth to children who are now African-Americans. Racism and all that made some of them wish for home and a community where they can assume full control and belong without making mockery of their skin colours. Igbo village and festivals in Virginia had made a lot of people to find their routes. After each event, some African-Americans would test their ancestral DNA and discover their Igbo bloodline. It happens annually. Some of them have visited Igbo land in Nigeria. Lawrence Patterson is one of them. He is a Black-American soldier from Louisiana, USA. He has traced his origin through DNA and found himself with an Igbo bloodline. He immediately adopted Akachukwu Okeke as his Igbo name to that effect. They are still many more of them I will talk about subsequently. 11 Likes 2 Shares

Akachukwu Okeke...and this seems more like a name he’ll bear if born here. It was a wise decision. I honestly thought a lot of these African Americans originated from Nigeria. I was wrong since the majority are from Gambia. I can visually tell the Ghanaians, Cameroonians and Senegalese among them. 4 Likes |

Most African Americans are Igbo blood and look like Igbos. Lebron...You can mistake him as Igbo but can never ever mistake him as Yoruba or Hausa-Fulani...they just don't look like this. Igbo and African Americans are a different type of black people on this earth called " Hebrew Israelites." They are not the same people as Hamite Africans...Hausa, Yoruba, South Sudanese, Kenyans. 3 Likes 2 Shares |
