Recent surveys of African Americans using a genetic testing service have found varied ancestries which show different tendencies by region and sex of ancestors. These studies found that on average, African Americans have 73.2-82.1% West African, 16.7%-24% European, and 0.8–1.2% Native Americangenetic ancestry, with large variation between individuals

Correspondingly, Montinaro et al. (2014) observed that around 50% of the overall ancestry of African Americans traces back to the Niger-Congo-speaking Yoruba of southwestern Nigeria and southern Benin, reflecting the centrality of this West African region in the Atlantic Slave Trade.

Benin here means dahomey or republic of Benin

three years later and with good knowledge of ancestry testing. Your lies have been debunked. U use wikipedia as a source right?
"It has been hypothesized that, at least, 60% of all African Americans have at least one ancestor who originated from the Igbo kingdoms. Many African Americans are now tracing their Igbo heritage with the help of genetic testing and historical evidence" -

The bight of biafra transported more than 1.6 millions slaves. It was the most slaves from any part of WEST AFRICA. https://www.slavevoyages.org/assessment/estimates
Im sure you will say bight of benin transported the most slaves which means yorubas were the most transported. Well you will also be wrong there, the most transported ethnicities in bight of benin were Adja, Mina, Ewe and Fon.
