I Personally know of many who have been traced to Igbo, but not a single one whom has been traced to Yoruba. The vast majority of Yoruba were taken to South and Central America but mainly Brazil; very, very few were brought to the US or its prior colonies it was formed from.


you are correct.

""Pls list black Americans who have ever announced that they traced their origin n found out that they were Yorubas?""

I am still waiting for ur list

@HORRORIZON and @PRECISIONFX

You guys seem to have a point worth considering

However, the Wikipedia page which is a summary of all the dna research work, clearly states Yoruba as the predominant DNA strain in all African descended Americans


You guys need to come up with proper research findings for me to agree completely to your assertions

"" clearly states Yoruba as the predominant DNA strain in all African descended Americans ""

It can only be ""In the Americas" as in south America and not in the United States of America.

Meanwhile Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that can be edited by anyone who has internet access from any part of the world n thus cannot be used as a basis for getting info on a controversial issue.



Simply list black Americans that traced their lineage to Nigeria n declared that they were Yorubas

If u can't list dem, Den ur point is dead before arrival.

I want to say, the ‘Americas' fits more than the United States even if it's ‘claimed ' that their DNA has 50-75% DNA match with yorubas because United States is a conglomerate of different Dark skin people,whose ancestors are diversed,although it's not yoruba's fault.

That is possible


But then why hasn't same Wikipedia page been replaced with updated and correct info, since the one that is there is false according to you?


I smell something fishy in your assertions


In the article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_Americans#Genetics

It clearly states that most blacks from the united states of America, African Americans or Black americans are mostly Yoruba descended people by genetics

If anyone can update wikipedia like you claim, why is this info still up there if it is wrong??

You have failed to convince me

Do you have proof of any of this? I watch Henry Louse Gates documentary he did tracing his roots, and I don't recall there being anything stating that he was of any Yoruba descent. I recall him actually traveling to his African ancestors village in the what I believe was the Gambia to visit his relatives in which still lived in the area. I've seen nothing in which directly ties Nas to being of Yoruba descent. I've seen that many assume so, simply because his father Olu Dara whom was born Charles Jones III in Natchez, Mississippi change his name after to Olu Dara after moving to NYC and began following the Yoruba practice of Ifa in which many AA had done as part of the black power movement in the 60's. Similarly I've found nothing connecting Kareem Abdul Jabaar with being of Yoruba descent other than a mention of so is non credible Wikki leaks. I have pics of the ones I've mentioned going to to Nigeria to show homage to their Igbo roots in which they were confirmed to have.

You yorubers are just sick bitterfulled efulefus.

Imagine in damned skull miner, some whose tribe is know for raping both old and young women, cursed people who engage in yahoo yahoo and all manner of frauster businesses.

people who leave their rottened brown roofed villages to hustle in Lagos and later on claim lagosian.

people that were crying for help from the British because they were tired of eating them selves up through their silly civil war

people who are so proud to be favored by their white slave masters, to the extent that they are comparing with igbos the number of their brothers and sisters that they sold off to slavery

I feel sorry for u and ur likes.
