As native african, I can guarante that the DNA results fit exactly what we see in your face. All natives african could guess your tribe before having the results. We knew it for many years. We could not tell you before. Now, it's your pleasure to know by yourselves. We knew it many years ago. A native of Senegal in West Africa
I'm African American and constantly in the past I would have African natives approach me in America asking me if I was Nigerian. I would just say I was born in America but I'm still African. Years later after doing research and learning more about my great great grandmother I learned that her parents were sold as slaves in Virginia and transported to Mississippi to be slaves. The history of black people in Virginia between 1760 and 1860 were all descendants of the beautiful Nigerian people.
@@bilialeilan9038 wow Markus I love the fact that you took the time to put the effort and discover your ancestry. I'm so excited for you 😁😊 So when are you visiting, we can't wait to have you over
@@bilialeilan9038 That's great, I'm sure you'll have an unforgettable experience. Just make make sure to hit me up when you in Nigeria, I stay in the South East and we also do Tours😉😁
Thank you for helping the African Americans find their roots. After watching the video, as a West African ,I felt like my missing brother has been found after centuries. Keep it up. and I hope to see people i share the same ancestral DNA with (Jolas tribe , from The Gambia, southern Senegal and Northern Guinea Bissau)
I just got my results a couple days ago. Now I'm proud to say I'm from Ghana on my dad's side and Cameroon on my mom's side. It feels so go to finally say that. Thank you JESUS!!!
Al-Musawwir-El: Bey they have the name of the ships. But your statement can be flipped and one can say, ”where are the ships for the Pilgrims?” stop shitting on people's happiness.
@Mama Africa do you think your ancestor wandered off and got lost from the tribe? How do you think these people felt about and treated your ancestor for them to be enslaved and sold to the new world? You would go back and act like nothing happened just because they share skin tone?
Genealogy as we know it only really developed after the millennium (1st draft of human genome published 2001) so you have not missed out. No doubt there have been huge strides in genetics since then but never too late to learn. I studied genetics at university and worked as a healthcare scientist working on bacterial genomes to source hospital infection outbreaks. So read read and read some more😉
i believe it's beautiful that african americans are taking interest in their past like this. i've heard some complaints about it's too expensive, they're usually the same person who'll think nothing of paying $300. for jordan's. how hypocritical. 😕 i'm of fairly recent immigrants. 🌍 i'm nigerian paternity 🇳🇬 ghanaian maternity 🇬🇭 and some amazigh (berber) 🇲🇦 background, but...born and raised in america. 🇺🇸
Glad to hear the presenter is my sister. I am Hausa-Fulani in Nigeria. I used to think were we live is too far from the cost (about 800 km) to be part of the slave trade.
In the map at 11:35 the wrong country is highlighted! Instead of Guinea Bissau, they have The Gambia. They are really close, but Guinea Bissau is the small one under the northern highlighted country
What a brilliant guy I've been commenting on this woman lies for few days now its a shame that she do this for a living and yet still she gives wrong information..... I'm glad that there are smart guys out there God bless you sir

Dr Gina, the Hausa people of Nigeria are NOT the business men and women of Nigeria. The Igbos of Nigeria are the backbone of industrial Nigeria. They are called the "Jews of Nigeria". They are highly and well known all over West African and Africa for their business abilities. The Hausa and the Fulani tribes are very similar in term of culture and values. They are known for being herds men of cattle and various livestock , the Hausa people are very involved in politics, they have been more Hausa presidents and head of States than any other tribes of nigeria. (The present President of Nigeria is of the Fulani tribe) Although the riches black man on earth is Hausa from Nigeria ( Aliko Dangote ), but that does not take away the fact that the Igbos of Nigeria are the backbone of industrial Nigeria. Beside being know for their business skills, they are very educated people, in many fields of education. By the way am not of the Igbo tribe of Nigeria.
Maybe they are referring to the kiosks they usually operate during building of houses and Aliko Dangote other than that I agree the Igbo's are the business people.
You guys don't no shit. So you all think kano being a trans Saharan trade hub is for nothing. Yes our people went to sleep. Before the whit man came on which international trade root is your land located? Only the Binis and oyo can boast of that.
Can I asked a question? Have you been able to put anyone in touch with their Afrikan family? Since most of these people are 85% West Afrikan you should be able to give them a list of their Nigerian, Ghanaian relatives. Second question: if you have been able to provide Afrikan relatives did your clients take additional tests to make sure they are actually related?
We never knew this before the DNA test but my test results showed my mother side is East African ancestry and so does my father... both have East African ancestry... wow!
@@ceynicade9519 according to my results my mother's side is L3e1e (Zanzibar) however her father carries the European Y-DNA chromosome... mixed race. According to the results on my father's side is E-m4254 which I was told to be a Hebrew Israelites and his mother is also L3e with mixed race European. Unfortunately that basically makes me 59% African and 40% European and 1% Portuguese (which is probably from Zanzibar Portuguese ancestry).
So far i did a test with Ancestry and 23andme. My maternal line (Haplogroup L3f1b4) goes back to the Yoruba and Fulbe population. My grandmother is mostly Benin/Togo so this should be where my African mother ancestor came from.
TrolandoTV what you really need is the tribe. The country is irrelevant because if the european imposed borders of the current countries. The tribe will identify the key cultural ties that were cut during the slave trade For e.g modern Ghana has more than 20 tribes some of which straddle the borders of neighbouring countries and to say you are from Ghana is not as useful as if you were told that you were Ashanti or Ewe or Dagbani etc hope this helps
@@jayjee735 "Tribe" is also a social construct, and should not be equated with genetics. The groups you know today, may not necessarily have existed in the same manner, say, 500 years ago.
Going back to the motherland Africa is honoring your ancestors and knowing who you really are and where you come from. What I know as a human being is if our ancestors had a chance to go back home, they wouldn't think two times. Just honor them and GO HOME
Lol, why does the doctor always say “living in Cameroon today” or “in Guinea-Bissau today” as opposed to “modern-day Cameroon”, etc? Did the Tikar not live in Cameroon 200 years ago? The way she says it makes it sound as if they’ve only just migrated into the region.
MICHAEL DUKES Africa is been divided up since and yes to account for migration or not, you say present-day. The point the haplogroup origin reside inside Africa.
Correct because this was before Europeans came in and divided up Africa along colonial lines and giving countries different names. So 400 years ago these regions had different names.
There are many smaller ethnic groups in Nigeria...like up to 200, and many people are mixed with Igbo's, Yoruba, Dr Paige ,anytime you come to Nigeria, go to rivers States, Cross river state,and Delta...these are coastal states, where slaves are taken and mixed with inland people
I don't like the way they promote their service. I am puerto Rican with an African Paternal line and a Native American Maternal line, but my Over all DNA is mixed with a whole lot of European... two small segments of your dna cant possibly be claimed as , "this is where I'm from" it makes up a small part of your heritage(overall).
Carib Elias, I understand what your saying, however I’ve heard the doctor say in other videos that yes it’s clear mixing did occur and we all know that but it’s time to celebrate our African origins
I read a comment that someone is saying that they should be specific. Ok let me tell you that in Africa two different countries citizens always get married for example my mother is a kissi woman from Liberia and my father is a kissi man from Guinea so u see.
@@anaistana5631 his paternal tribe is what? Normally, bantu tribes dont have consonants at the end of a name... very strange with Alexander Dimitri Behanang Song
Don't get me wrong but I think most of the results are wrong cause most ( if not all ) of the people who went to Dr. Gina were told they come from either Sierra Leone, Guinea Bissau or Nigeria
Please when ever You tell People that comes from Nigeria there DNA Test result, especially those from Hausa and Yoruba, always let Them know that Dangote "The richest black Man on Earth" is an Hausa and Yoruba's are the most educated People on Earth.
So are different tribes basically like something you join, like a job title? Because Delano Little has exact ancestry with two different tribes in two different countries. I'm getting my African ancestry done as well and was just curious to anyone that knows how to explain this.
IF this great man visit he will feel and see the reality of his root were it as decribe as he his then for the Guinee bisau, (Eatoria Guinee, Sirraleone.) mostly of this ethnic people are the same. likely for the last two country were my bracket his almost speak the same local offical language. God bless welcome to the Mother Land
i've met SO MANY senegalese people randomly this past year i suspect thats the ancestors hint that when i get my dna results back thats my family. lmao. but i'm about african unification. we're all family
Why don't you people be specific with the mtdna haplogroup? If you are subsaharan african, it's mtdna L. You have mtdna L0a, L1, L2, L3, L4, L5 and L6. In the horn of africa (Ethiopia, Somalia, Eritrea and Djibouti) it's 55% mtdna L and 45% M and N.
@Candyce Miller There's absolutely nothing offensive about saying you people. You people should not reduce everything to what is offensive in everything people say.
