I'd like to say some of the threads I saw here about Africans vs African Americans don't make any sense to me, lol. We both need to get educated about one another and quit the nonsense. On another note, I took a DNA test with AfricanAncestry and found out that the people I most likely descend from are Igbos, which is most likely very true. The question I have is if I posted my pic, would anyone be able to tell whether I truly have an Igbo look or a look thats common in Nigeria? My girl, who is Moroccan, says I do. My pic is attached. |

There is no actual 'look' to being Ibo. When I meet people, sometimes they don't even realize that I'm West African. |

Well, here's my pic, I've been mistaken as Nigerian, but specifically as Igbo: |

Since you traced your ancestry to the Ndi Igbo, then I shall give you a pass. However, we Igbos have no look. Here are some famous Igbos that you may have heard of.

Well I see the similarities I have with Igbos now, so I guess it is true, damn, I am an Igbo by descent from way, way back. |
