Most tribes from Subsaharan African ie the Bantus and Niger Congo ethnic groups have E1B1A haplogroup, so nothing exciting.
True and most people in the world are related, but I am talking about the E-M2 haplogroup branch.

Apart from Dahomey, there's no other place related to yoruba. What about our people fulani that are indegenous to the south west, please add them to the list.
Igbo and their complex inferiority for Yoruba people, no wonder you're ashamed to used your native name or something else as your moniker, you've to identify with your slave masters



the real aboki self are not using kaduna1stson na typical southern man, shameless cow from failed rising sun

I think a large, very large percentage of Nigerian Fulanis have a different Haplotype. Hausas and Kanuris also have a different haplotype from we down South.

That is what I’m talking about too. Most people in the world ain’t related to the Negros.They have different haplogroups.

Haplogroup E-M2 is a human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup. It is primarily distributed in Sub-Saharan Africa. E-M2 is the predominant subclade in Western Africa, Central Africa, Southern Africa and the African Great Lakes, and occurs at moderate frequencies in North Africa (E1B1B) and Middle East (E1B1B). E-M2 has several subclades, but many of these subhaplogroups are included in either E-L485 or E-U175. E-M2 is especially common in native Africans speaking Niger-Congo languages and was spread to Southern and Eastern Africa through the Bantu expansion.

This is common knowledge.
Most sub Saharan African groups are genetically similar apart from those that migrated from other parts recently

No. You mentioned the E1B1A haplogroup which is a larger haplogroup the E-M2 haplogroup is a basal branch of the E1B1A haplogroup. You need to understand the differences.

The Igbos don't have the E-M2 haplogroup. You're confusing the whole thing.

Again you’re still making the mistake of the Okd Dahomey kingdom which is today’s Benin republic as a whole. And yes we ruled all Dahomein territories, but you’re talking about the whole of present day Benin.

Dahomey people on the present date Dahomey city are not related with the Yorubas. I’ve been there, I’ve read their history and war with Yoruba. Dahomey people will tell you they are not Yoruba but we’re conquered.
Is it the Dahomeans that are called Fon in Benin Republic?

They have different list, not just 1. Use google. It’s been a long time I read up on this topic. All tribes from Southern Nigeria have a very high percentage of E1B1A. I think adding to the E1B1A, Yorubas had a long sequence that ended in 7 if I’m not mistaken.

Kindly share the list(with legit sources) and I've explained to you that the E1B1A group is a larger group and E-M2 is a sub group. How hard is this to understand?

Haplogroup E-V38 is a human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup. It is primarily distributed in Africa. E-V38 has two basal branches, E-M329 (formerly E1b1c or E1b1*) and E-M2 (formerly E3a & E1b1a). The E-M329 subclade is today almost exclusively found in Ethiopia. E-M2 is the predominant subclade in Western Africa, Central Africa, Southern Africa and the region of African Great Lakes, and occurs at moderate frequencies in North Africa, and the Middle East.

It says exactly what am saying and says that E-M2 is predominant in parts of africa, but it doesn't list igbos as part of the E-M2 haplogroup. You've still failed to share your list.

There is no similarly both in culture, language or ancestral relationship between the bamilike of Cameroon I no and the Yoruba tribe...

Igbo is 89.3%. The easiest link I could find.

Honestly my knowledge in that topic is not solid. I know Fon is widely spoken Southern Benin and in different dialects. Present day base of the Dahomey rulers which is Abomey, they also speak Fon.

Think of Abomey city to the Dahomey kingdom as present day Iran is to Persia empire, Turkey is the the Turks empire, Russia to the Soviet Union.

The 89.3% is referring to the E-V38 larger group and not the E-M2 subgroup which is what this thread is about. I won't reply again if you don't come with reasonable arguments. You clearly have failed to understand what am saying.

E-V38 has two basal branches, E-M329 (formerly E1b1c or E1b1*) and E-M2 (formerly E3a & E1b1a). The Igbos and Yorubas have about 90% E-M2 aka E1B1A.
