TOP Five AFRICAN TRIBES THAT WERE TAKEN DURING THE SLAVE TRADE
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 авг 2024
- So, between the ages of 1525 and 1866 about 12.5 million Africans were taken as
slaves and were shipped to the new world. An average number of 10 million
Africans survived the terrifying middle passage, and some were taken to north
America, the Caribbean and south America.
After so many years of torture and pain ,those who survived ended up losing their
native names, culture, languages and traditions .so in the 19 th century many
return back to Africa movements started to help these Africans returned back to
their homelands in other to help them regain their culture ,language and
traditions back but unfortunately most of these movements failed because most
of these Africans couldn’t trace where they came from .
It has been 400 hundred years now and the movements of these Africans
returning back home keep rising every single day. in fact the opportunity for them
to return back home is one of the greatest opportunity that was taken away from
their forefathers but the most interesting question today is how do the Africans
today who are interested in returning back home find their true identity and
culture. How can they specifically even locate where their forefathers came from
and even if they do how do they find their tribe in Africa.
Chamba people
The chamba people are located in some parts of Nigeria and cameroun . They are an
African ethnic group found in the east-central Nigeria and the neighboring parts of
north Cameroon.They speak two related languages: Chamba Leko, and Chamba Daka, .
The truth is They were victims of the Fulanis Jihadi slavery in the 18th and 19ths
century and Things went really bad for them that they migrated into the mountains to
form rebelous groups just to attack the Fulani slave merchants.
Wolof people
They are found in Senegal and some parts of Mali. Their origin is widely debated
because no one can actually prove their actual origin in Africa. But many researchers
say they originated from the northern part of Africa and later migrated down to the
southern part of Africa. They founded their own empire, but tribal conflicts divided
them, and this made them vulnerable to slave hunters. Most of the Wolof people are
Muslims. They had a violent Jihad past which simply means they fought against other
non-Islamic tribes and that really exposed them to slavery either as slave merchants or
as victims.so some of the Wolof people were slave merchants whiles other were victims.
Abron people
They inhabited the border of Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, and Burkina Faso. They were at the
center of popular gold coast and because of that Most of the abron people were taken
and sold into slavery and were given a specific name in Jamaica called
“Koromantis”.Today most of the abron people are found in the AHAFO region of ghana
and if you are thinking of what an abron person looks like then im a prime example
because im half bono and half asante.my mum is bono and my dad is from the asante
tribe.
Fulani people
Fulanis are one of the largest ethnic groups in West Africa. They are adventurous in
nature and present in East and West Africa. They can be found in Senegal and all the
way to Central African Republic. They also settled in places like, Niger, Mali, Nigeria,
Guinea and Cameroun. Their origin is highly debated, but their origin has been traced
to North Africa. They were somehow the original people in Northern Africa due to their
paintings in Nigeria which are dated to back to 6000BC North Africa. In fact, their
history is rich and full. The fulanis embraced Islam very early. They have many
prominent Jihadis who swept across Africa. Example is Usman Danfodio. Ironically, as
prominent as their shieks and Jihadis in slave trades, Fulanis were also victims of
Slavery themselves. It was recorded that they were hugely enslaved. Some of the most
popular slaves taken to new worlds are fulanis. Exampl, Umar Ibin-saeed,
Abdulrahaman and Dialo. Most were taken to America specifically.

Hello family so I decided to share these tribes which I believe will be a good start for all our african diaspora brothers and sisters to find and connect to their original tribes when it comes to relocating to Africa. Researching more about these tribes can bring a connection between you and your tribe. if you have any questions kindly comment below and let me know

We appreciate you, too.
That's Dueteronomy 28:68 for you. The children of Israel/Jacob sent into slavery on slave ships. It's actually biblical!👍
You actually have the Transahara slave trade that started first, then flowed the transatlantic slave trade. The Transahara slave trade was when the Arabs captured us and took us into Arabian countries. Why don't people talk about that?
you did a wonderful research, when I was in Florida I went to Kingsley plantation and IGBO people where the highest number of slaves in that plantation according to history book. Kingsley married a slave from senegal both him and his slaves moved to Haiti and settled down
I’m haitian but the motherland is calling me. One day I will go back for my ancestors.
😭😭😭😭
Your only motherland is Haiti.
Good for you dear. You are blessed. 🧡💚
Most welcome brother
Are u dying... God for bid just asking.. I mean u said mother land is calling u...
I traced my roots on African Ancestry! I am from Cameroon and 100% Bamileke People! I feel so wonderful knowing where in Africa my maternal ancestors came from! I have been researching everything about Cameroon and the Bamileke People! Thanks for such great information!
A Bamileke-Origin UFC Fighter has the record for the strongest punch in the world you know?
He is also the current champion of UFC heavyweight division.
Wow 100% is insane. Let me know if you want to know more about bamileke. Very dynamic people
Also from my maternal line was Bamileke people in Cameroon. And my paternal was tsogo, ateke, and kota people in Gabon. Proud to be Bantu and Long, Live, Mama Africa!
Bamileke mean "Help me overcome" in Yoruba Nigeria
Millie S Brown... so am I!! I know how you feel sister!!!
Thanks for sharing. Very knowledgeable
Vanessa Kanbi thank you!! I appreciate your feedback always
Awesome video brother. I believe the Yoruba ethic group wqs also one of the largest to be captured as slaves. I studied the igbo landing a few years back, and I have to say igbos are amongst the most courageous people on the planet. Upon arrival to America a group of igbo people turned around and drowned themselves. They said freedom was better than breathing.
Yorubas were the most shipped
@@streetprophet007
The Manding & Cameroonians (including the Igbo) were the two most shipped
@@joyuyoke4999 The Igbo are included within the diaspora of the Cameroonians that were enslaved, both groups are closely related. The top groups that were victims of the slave trade in the United States were the Manding, Fula, Akan & Cameroonians. Those four populations are found the most in historical demographics.
Not all of them drowned them selves as a matter of fact a lot of the slaves that tried drowning themselves were rescued
@@streetprophet007 Igbo's Yoruba's and fulani
Great video! I'm African American and recently found out that I'm a descendant of the Fulani tribe from Guinea Bissau. I'm so very proud to be Fulani❤
Guinea Bissau was near the ports where slave trade occur.
Hello sister, I too recently discovered that I am a paternal descendant of the Fulani/Balanta peoples from Guinea Bissau.
Fulanis are everywhere across Africa. To trace a particular location is difficult.
Basically you last name say it all that you are Fula/Fulani because most of the Fulani last names are hallow/diallo,Barry,bah..etc n they are all over west Africa but majority of them live in Guinea
My brother I salute you, love this video.. Im an "African American " who been on a journey tracing my ancestry; I learn I'm a mixture Mende,Fulani,Yoruba,Temne, and Wolof.
Nice! How were you able to trace back to specific tribes?
@@o6libra it's hard but I personally discovered one of my own through comparing my DNA to my maternal cousins' in a previous generation, tracing our lineage back to locations and viewing the slave schedules at the time. They kept track of each ethnic group because of our talent and temperament.
African people are mixed up with many tribe's so it's very sad when i see african fighting against each other
@TERRY KWAY yeah
My Ancestry traces back to Nigeria, Cameroon and Kongo. Each time I meet an Igbo they tell me I look like one. It’s is strange because from my youth I always Identified as a Hebrew. In fact, the majority of my friends call me Rabbi.
You have great contents Sir. Very educative, well, clean and precise in what you say. Keep it up.

Excellent info! Thank you for your diligence and research, I hope to learn more.
April Cumberbatch thank you!! For the feedback and appreciation
Daniel, I am a known Igbo born in Nigeria and raised in the USA. My Dad is actually Nigerian born and my Mom, who is born in the USA (Louisiana) has traced her lineage to the Fulani Tribe. My strong ambitious character as well as my willingness to try new places give validation to both of my parent's tribes. What an awesome combination!!!!
talldarkn handsum wow interesting combination!! Can you speak both languages?
Yes, but not as fluently as I'd like.
Many african american have fulani ancestry
@@almamybokarbirobarry780 No, igbo and some yoruba I think cause you look like this two tribes a lot especially the igbos, they are the powerhouse of Africa.
@@leeayi243 Yes, AAs do have some Fula/Fulani as well.
I would agree that Igbo is highly prevalent in AA and Caribbean ancestry.
AAs have surprisingly small ties to Yorubans...though it is there. The Yoruban ties are more common in the Caribbean and South America.
I’ve been (matrilineal) traced to the Mende people living in Sierra Leone 🇸🇱, but I felt very connected to the Asante people while I was in Ghana 🇬🇭.
Sierra leones are a mixture of a lot of western Africans like Nigerians and Ghanaians after slavery was abolished some were brought to sierra leone hence why their capital city is called "freetown" Liberia has a similar story
@@jeswazwadi7049 yes I have a great grandfather from Liberia. He was Fulani..
@@Elias_Truth nice
I had my DNA checked also I have an answer from Sierra Leone and from the same tribe that you are from. The brother who led the Rebellion or the Amistad is from our tribe also
Buwah, biyeyi mean how are you doing and how was your night in Mende from Sierra Leone and Liberia.
Thank you so much, my son and I traveled to limbe cameroon Africa for our birthday and we walk through the very same door that our ancestors were forced through as slaves to be sent to the United States.
I ❤ your channel! Yoruba Tribe-Nigeria 🇳🇬
Thank you so much!!

Thank you. I am from Togo/Benin, Nigeria, Mali and Cameroon mostly
Appreciate you so much! Glad to have found you here. So informative, and such a pleasant aura.
The Ariyah Lynn thank you!!
Watching this video led me to stop and imagine what it would have been like to be born, raised, and living in Africa. Just the thought of being in a place where everyone is the same color as me is mind-blowing. I realize that there would still be conflicts and difficulty between people because of human nature, but I’d like to not be the minority everywhere I go.
I appreciate your channel, Brother Daniel. After many years, I found out that I am completely Ewe/Everh on my father’s family side. I would have found out earlier if I had known the Ewe language. My father’s grandmother had “nick names” for many of the family members. What I didn’t know is that these were not nick names, but Ewe Day Names, kente patterns sewing, and some family names past on from Ghana. I thank the Almighty everyday that some customs did survive even after slavery in my family.🙏🏾
Yes, a lot of old diasporans are Ewe and not necessarily Akan.
Thanks for sharing.
I am still searching.
I feel connected to both Ghana and Nigeria. One day I will find a trusted black scientists to do my DNA. It's important indeed.
Thank you!
African ANCESTOR
I love that our science has grown in a way that is healing! I can’t imagine not knowing or being able to research your history.
Thanks man for what you're doing. Keep up the good work.
I’ve been to Ghana and the slave coast castle! It changed me since then in December 2015! For you as one will Ghana traces to confirm us Igbo we’re most enslaved in the trans Atlantic slave trade, then I salute you gust! Thanks dear!!
Great video Daniel loved it, my family have traced moms side of family to Ghana, with traces of Mali and Cameroon. Interesting that we may be from the Abron people.
You are welcome!! That’s awesome to know Ghana is great !
You are welcome to Bono region, Bono East region and Ahafo region in Ghana, we are lovely people
Thanks for this video. One thing i tried telling our brothers and sisters coming back to the homeland is: 1. West Africa had no borders so is hard to pin point a country where one comes from through DNA. An example of one tribe stretching from Nigeria to Ghana and the only difference is a little change in the language or dialect. 2. It use to be KINGDOMS sometimes with walls and people will rebel, break out to form their own Kingdoms which resulted to wars and scattered us further.
Mickey F yes !! When you pay attention all our cultures are so close in similarities and languages and food .. through wars and colonialism brought this whole separations
@@connectu2africa155 lies west Africa had boarders

@@joyuyoke4999 shut up and stop spreading lies. Africa as a whole had no borders. We lived by ethnicity, ethnicities respected ethnicities, peacefully

I am from the Djola people of Guinea Bissau on my maternal side. I am very attracted to Ghana and her people. Djola are also in Senegal and The Gambia which is why I’m drawn to The Gambia because they speak English while guinea Bissau speaks Portuguese
R. Murray awesome! First time hearing about them will look them up !
@@connectu2africa155 I lived in The Gambia & Guinea-Bissau for nearly 30 years- The Djola/Jola people are largely based in Casamance (currently S Senegal - it's "bread basket") and what was part of ancient Guinea-Bissau - they identify strongly with that Country - and often will say they are Guineense even while they hold Senegalese documents! Yaya Jammeh, the exPresident of The Gambia is Jola - and brought a LOT of recognition to these people!
@R.Murray Portuguese is the official language of Guinea-Bissau; but Kriolu is the lingua franca - taking on much of the vocabulary of whichever ethnic group dominates a geographic area: e.g.; in Bafata & Gabu (largely Fula) Kriolu will have lots of Fula words/expressions - yet in Farim (largely Mandinka) that language influences the Kriolu!
Rashida Bah interesting thanks for sharing. To be sure I understand, Kriolu is like a Creole our pidgin version of local dialects, right? Do the Djola speak Kriolu as well?
R. Murray I found out I’m from Guinea-Bissau from the Balanta tribe
Brother, I love your content and I love the way you're attempting to bridge the gap between diasporic African descendants throughout the Americas and Africans on the continent especially throughout Western and Central Africa which is where most of their ancestors are from. That said, I find it interesting that you didn't mention the Yoruba peoples of what is now Nigeria and Benin. A significant number of Yorubas were sold, enslaved and, exported to Brasil, various the Caribbean and Central American nations as well as the Southern parts of the US.
Unlike most of the other groups sold into slavery, the Yoruba also has the largest remaining cultural influences expressing itself via spiritual beliefs like Candomble, Santaria, Ketu, and a few more where these people openly worship Obatala, Sango, Yemoja, and other Orisas along with their Christian beliefs. Given these deep cultural ties, I would think my other people would have been one of the larger groups sold into slavery. Do you have any numbers for the Yorubas as a whole? Like the Fulani, we, via the Oyo empire, also sold many of our own into slavery and that history saddens me, to say the least.
Thx brother peace African born in America. African all da way
I am proud to be Chamba leko, from the descent of the resistance fighters, because others have become Islamized, but we remain traditional, Chamba and proud of it. from North Cameroon
Great! What's the relationship between the Chamba tribe and Tikar of Cameroon?
Hey bro, great video. I have always felt a connection to the igbo people. Because their culture seem familiar to the people of Hampton Roads and Tidewater area where I am from. I later learned that the state of Virginia was nickname , "Igboland, USA". Because of the high number of Igbo people brought there. A cool fact. They build an Igbo village in the Tidewater area some years back to honor Virginia's Igbo heritage. Now every year Igbos of Nigerian immigrants have a festival there with African American that trace there ancestry to the Igbo tribe. But strangely enough. Most DNA test rate me mostly of the Yoruba tribe. But on taking the African Ancestry test. I learned that I am also of Kru ancestry on my father's side and Tikar on my mother's side. Thanks
Diversity as it relates to tribalism has been an attraction, but also Africa's downfall.
Thanks for the information brother! My heart goes out to our brothers and sisters whom their forefathers were abducted! And now they don't know who they are! I like your calmness and beautiful voice. God bless you sir!
This is my first time on here. I am soo thankful for you sharing this with me. It has changed my life.
My paternal lineage is Yoruba but I’ve also traced my lineage to the Igbo, Fulani, Akan, Kongo & some North African groups
I know I am connected with the Akans but I don't know which tribe specifically

Thank you very for your response, it’s a pleasure hearing back from my Brother. Well! I must say am very happy to find my true identity, I was able to connect to family members who are from Nigeria living in Oakland California and they are from the Igbo tribe so they are planning to take me to visit Nigera.
Our ancestors were Enslaved Afrikans and not slaves. It was not a trade because there was no even exchange. It was an act of human trafficking. It is called the Maafa and not the Transatlantic slave trade nor was it the Middle Passage. We define for ourselves our situation and never use the lexicon of our tormentors. The Afrikan Ancestry DNA test will provide use with the connections to tribes. Thanks for the powerful information.
Speak Black To Me thank you! For the education as well
I’m from Suriname, South America. And thanks to your video i can finally search the origin of my people.
My ancestors are from Ghana but i didn’t know which tribe they were from, The Abron People.
My grandfather could speak fluently speak “Kromantis”. I don’t know if that’s what it’s called in Africa, but i would love to know.
My next vacation is definitely to Ghana🥺✊🏾🇸🇷🇬🇭
Abron are ASHANTIS
Hi, it has been my pleasure listening to you. I have learn so much about Africa Cultures. Thank you.
Additional Information Bro Boadu. The "Yorubas" are missing. Their "IFA" worship/religion is very visible from the South of United States, to Caribbeans, Cuba, Venezuela, Columbia, Brazil to Argentina.
These are the worshippers of Yoruba deities like "Ifa, Ogun, Sango, Oya, Esu-laalu, Egun-gun" et el. In Northern Brazil, Salvador, Bahia, they still speak the Yoruba language (in the ways they still best preserve it after 400 years off the continent) and most in the larger part, still worship these ancestral Yoruba deities.
Anthropologically speaking, the Yorubas undoubtedly left traces of their culture and tradition where they were forcibly taken as slaves which could easily be seen nakedly by any full blood-Yoruba from West Africa.
Yorubas are identified by their unique tribal marks, clothing-apparels, women weaved-Hair do`s, Nobilities as Kings, Queens, prince and princesses.
The traces and give away of Yorubas in diaspora, is the practicing of "Ifa religion" which greatly indicates they`re from Yoruba ancestry.
Grandfather's Story;
My grandfather told me the story of how he met and eventually married my grandmother, who happens to be a princess, who was being marched to the sea-coast with some 24 other captured slaves approximately from the hinterlands, he however saved them being a hunter, (he hunts big wild animals those days Elephants, leopards, e.t.c) with lots of powerful charms, incantations, kinda half-human, half spirit (he passed away 1996 a baptized catholic).
According to what he said, on sighting white men with their black assistant coming towards his direction in the forest, he used incantations to made himself invincible to any naked human eye, only spirits could see him - then realising who they were (those days, news travel around villages that white-men are capturing and bounding in ropes people from villages nearby, and taking to some place at the coast) - according to him, he proceed though incantations to "invoke bees" to come to his aid, by stinging all the evil minded African slave escorts and their white masters, he said this put them into flight and they all ran away dropping all on them, dane-guns too, all scattering into the forest.
He then took off the ropes on the slaves, unbound them all and strikingly, he said some do not speak Yoruba language. He however said my grandmother was such a beauty, speaks "Yoruba of Ketu" of present Yewa local government in Ogun-State, Nigeria, and he took her back to her village and surprisingly discovered her village was raided some days before, got to notice her nobility because as soon as they got near her village some people sighted her, and started bowing for her singing her family panegyric.
In short, my grand-mother`s father, the king and some hunters who had gone looking for the slave raiders in the forest got sent words that my grandmothers had been found, thus they returned from the expedition of looking for her captured daughter in other to rescue her. On my grandfathers arrival, as compensation to my grandfather, gave my grandmother`s hand in marriage to my grandfather. That is the story of how they met, to forming a family, giving birth to my now late father. (I wish I`d recorded on tape my grandfather's narratives).
Certain things I discovered; White men used christianity to cow and disfaze African powerful deities, to anyone reading this, research Yoruba "Ifa worshipping". Ifa is exactly like a bible, with various chapters and verses. White people possesses white magic too (Harry Potter's films illustrate this) however, African beliefs and deities are demonized and labeled as evil by these white men in other to weaken us Africans, and they succeed in just doing that to enhance/facilitate colonization and enslavement - (In African anthropology, you have the choices of utilizing your magic for good or evil - you account to your creator one day what you choose to do with the knowledge of the supernaturals, to help, cure, or destroy others.).
On the West coast of Africa, I can authoritatively assert, (after touring from South America, to Central, the Caribbeans to North America) - that slaves were taken from villages & clans who`re mostly located within not more than three to two weeks walk down to the coastal sea waters. check historical facts and some book written.
E.g. check Brazilian returnee; (face2faceafrica.com/article/meet-nigerias-first-millionaire-candido-da-rocha-who-sent-his-dirty-clothes-to-britain-for-laundry#:~:text=Born%20in%201860%20in%20Brazil,a%20returnee%20slave%20from%20Brazil.&text=After%20gaining%20his%20freedom%2C%20Esan,business%20empire%20upon%20his%20return).
All tribes were directly and indirectly affected, however prominent tribes whose people were taking as slaves were the Yorubas, Mandingo`s, Benin's, Bantus, Wolof`s, Ewe`s Igbo`s, Hausa`s and Akan`s.
Fulani`s are too warrior like, they`re Arab like too, they`re not easily tamed or captured. So many others too,.
The Yorubas were such that they took with them their cultures and tradition to the new world, which is visible and prominent in Cuba, Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, the Caribbeans, where they mostly practice Yoruba Ifa worshipping till date. Research this information on RUclips. E.g; Ifa festival or worshipping in Brazil.
To all my brothers and sisters in diaspora, I`ll leave you with a certainty, either you`re able to someday return, visit or not, the ancestors reside in y`all, they`re always with you and will never leave you.
Olodumare bless Africa Always,
Ase !

Hey my brother I've been watching your channel for a while now but have not subscribe. By doing this video I appreciate it and I am definitely subscribing now. Thanks for the video. I am living in Toronto Canada for the past thirty years but I am originally from Grenada. Grenada is a small island in the Caribbean known as the isle of spice. It is a 133sm with a population of about 115k.
I am a descendant of African that was taken by the British and sent to the Caribbean as slaves. I grew up surrounded by Yoruba culture. Yoruba spirituality for that matter. Although most people on the island practice Christianity, when the time of year comes to do your devotion to the ancestral deities you perform your rituals. For me in particular, five years ago I walked away from Christianity and fully embrace orisha. Orisha is the ancient Yoruba spirituality. The islands of Trinidad and Tobago, Grenada, Cuba and Brazil have a strong Yoruba cultural presence. In Grenada it is believed that Yorubas of Nigerian, akan people of gold coast, temmna people of Sierra Leone and a few other ethnic groups were settled there. One cannot be certain because records were not kept. Going by traditions that have been passed down one can conclude. I know my ancestors are calling me back home, I feel it each and every day. I plan on making my way to Yoruba land Nigeria, Osun State to be precise, as soon as this pandemic will allow me to travel.
Thanks for this. I’m waiting for my DNA results to come back. I think I might be Nigerian so this video will help me a lot when doing my research. Thanks again 🙏🏽
Shazza Ban great !! Let me know when you get it I wanna know your tribe too !
Daniel Boadu Office will do!
Evan mbula from Kenya Africa watching. Love you all our brothers and sisters.
Most Haitians are descendants to the gbe groups which is mostly of the fon and ewe people that were shipped .then 2nd it's the wolof and fula/serer group around Senegal. And 3 is the coast of central Africa which is mostly of bantus (kongo) tribes.that why in haitian creole there's a small percentage of west African words which is mostly from the fon/ewe and also smaller tribes brought to haiti and most of the words from french were mix with west African words by the enslaved. so some of the heritage that was carry to the island survived.voodoo is religion that came from the fon ,ewe and other nearby tribes.haitians are like the closest to Africans from the diaspora.im Haitian descent a l portion of my ancestry are from fon and ewe tribes from the gbe group
Right my man. But Haitians are mainly Aja and Anlo Ehrverh (ewe). The Fon weren't really transported to Haiti.
@@chazaqyahuyasharal348 some of them were that why there a small amount of their words are in Haitian creole since all those tribes were closely related (dahomey)
@@chazaqyahuyasharal348 all those were in the dahomey kingdom .ewe and fon were the biggest tribes out of all them
I disagree with you stating that most Haitians are of gbe group as most Haitians I know look Kongo and trace their origin like Macandal /Makanda to the Kongo People in Central Africa. Ewe and Fon are not BaNtu .
@@greeny6142 yeah you right also a percentage of Haitians are also from yoruba and igbo aswell
That was very interesting. Thank You
Dear Brother Daniel, I really appreciate your efforts to educate so many, especially in the African Diaspora.
I will continue to subscribe to you and I am sharing your channel with others.
I hope to meet you and listen to you and ask so many questions about our people .
Sharing your knowledge is a gift that is respected and appreciated.

Thank you!! Much love and blessings
Daaang what you mean we africans are taught about slave trade and all the routes and trans saharan and atlantic trade so please don't think we africans are naive
Thanks for sharing the information. I have done DNA through African Ancestry and my maternal roots were traced to the Tuareq people from Mali. Our paternal roots were traced to the Akan people from Ghana. On my paternal side, we have traced our roots to the Kru people of Liberia and the Balanta people of Guinea-Bissau. I know this may not be accurate, but it does give me a sense of connection.
Interesting! and thats absolutely great to even know!
Can I ask if you paternal haplogroup is E1b1a8a, E1b1a7a, or something else?
@@Shortyjored88 I do not know. The paternal DNA was done by a cousin and I do not have the information you are asking about.
@@evelynharris7451 Oh Okay. It would be good for you to ask your cousin if you talk in the future to see which sub-group of E1b1a he falls into because that can give an idea to what sub E1b1a haplogroup is common among which tribe. For instance, Yoruba and Bamileke are known to be E1b1a7a while some Sub-Saharan Africans tribes in countries like Ghana carry E1b1a8a. Among the slave trade, these two sub E1b1a haplogroup were the most common among the slaves. These two sub Haplogroups are really key in better understanding who we are as a people.
@@Shortyjored88 thank you for that information. I do not know when I will see this cousin because we are on different sides of the country due to COVID and he is in the hospital right now.
Good evening; interesting topic. Am a Jamaican and I just trace my roots true AncestryDNA and am 62%nigerian and am an Igbo tribe I was so shock.
Congratulations. I hope you have Nigerian friends?
Not surprised bro. Igbos and Akan were the most common that were taken to Jamaica. So many Igbos that it’s passed into Jamaican patois. “Unu” is an igbo word and has the exact same meaning in patois/Igbo.
My Igbo sister😁

@@NuraDi99 Igbo were not part of Dahomey
Diori Yoruba as well
@@NuraDi99 igbo in Nigeria are not from old Oyo. Oyo is in South West of Nigeria they are Yoruba
@@NuraDi99 old oyo empire is actually Nigeria not what u listed.
Thank you for this!😊
Brother I was born in Haiti but I know that I'm igbo. Thanks for your research my brother.
I believe most Haitian are Yoruba descendants that’s why they still practice Yoruba traditional religion
Hello, Daniel Boadu Office, thanks for posting very interesting. But please refer to the so called slaves as the [enslaved], they were not born to be slaves. Thanks.
chinyereugoo I didn’t mean to say they were born slaves but in the future if I ever make a video on such a topic I will make sure I use the appropriate word thank you for the correction
@@connectu2africa155 I AGREE - enslaved is more accurate -- ALSO why use the term "tribe" rather than ethnicity - or ethnic group! When other people groups refer to themselves they usually use those terms - "tribes" are used for Africans and Native Americans - with a connotation of lesser than/wild-uncivilized! I believe our vocabulary is part of our self definition!
Rashida Bah I agree with the word enslave much accurate but please look into the word tribes and ethnicity we have tribes in Africa which is more than ethnicity.. in simple words if a Japanese move to America he will be classified racially under the Asian ethnicity. But if that same Japanese goes to japan he has a specific tribe he belongs too ..
So true, 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Daniel Kofi Boadu gaining even more respect for you brother. Humble and respectful qualities that builds up thats🔥keep it up!!
you are giving so much knowledge, unlike other youtubers. im waiting on my dna test . i have about 1-3 weeks left for my results i look like the ashanti ,fulani, guinea people
May I add, my Brother, I am trying my best to return to the Motherland. It is so hard for me to explain the comfort I feel just looking forward to returning, as so many have and intend.
In the US, we were taught by some, mislead by others and given a series of lies , which mishaped our views toward ourselves and our home.
Today, we see our people for ourselves and can live among our own. We choose to learn from our brothers and sisters, free from the influences of others.
The Hon. Marcus Garvey and the Hon. Elijah Muhammad gave us the spark to turn toward our Motherland . For those who wish to remain in the West , we wish them the best, they are still our sisters and brothers.
For those of us returning home , my Brother, I ask that you please be patient with us. We have been away in this strange land, living with strange customs and traditions, thinking that these are our ways.
We are transitioning back to our real home and must cast off the mental shackles that were imposed on our beloved ancestors.
Again, my sincere thanks to your efforts, take care and keep us in mind.
The future of the world rests upon the strong, black shoulders of Africa.
Wow interesting!! Thank you for this and yes I understand
I am saddened because I have no faith that I will ever feel assured of where my ancestors came from. I appreciate immensely the information contained in this video. It will be very helpful when at last I can return home. The likelihood that my ancestor’s home can be determined instead of some company capitalizing on our need to belong is far greater than the likelihood that after 400 years of separation my family on The Continent can be determined.
I'm from Jamaica I just subscribed to your RUclips channel. 🔔
Critical Thinker thank you!
Thank you for sharing this information. My ancestry traces back to the Fulani people of Cameroon.
Great info! Thanks for sharing
A Turner you are welcome!
I live in Linden, Alabama - 75 years old. Recent genetic test results show that my Father came from the Bissa Tribe in Burkina Faso and that Mother belong to the Mende People in Sierra Leone. I believe in Jesus.
My DNA is all over west Africa. ( Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal, Mali, And Hunters-gathering ). I will never know actually which tribe. I’m married to a Ghanaians and will learn his culture as mine.
Yes !! You can claim one tribe and study their culture and traditions because in a nut shell we are all the same!
Daniel Boadu Office you are absolutely right brother.
Thank you for important video. I traced my roots to the DeChang/ Bamileke people. I live as an hebrew
Great content 👍👍👍💫
Naomi Bruce thank you!
Very educative.
Hey😁 GEDMATCH showed me to be Brong too. 🤣🤣 But my parents are Jamaican Soo🤷🏽♀️
That was 1 of them. But let me share this with you. The "native" inhabitants of Jamaica were Taino/Taina/Tain people, ARAWAK speakers, Karibi, and at one time Coromantee was listed as Native Indians according to antique records. Of course these were Africans. But another spelling of Jamaica was "Imaya". So many corrupt spelling of original words.
I was watching the Maroon communities in Jamaica and noticed what continental Africans were saying. So many words were spotted out that they recognized from the village country Maroon man. And I barely understood him😁. The Hausas were saying they have so many of their words, while Alan's and Nigerians said so as well. But I was reading the old writings of the accounts of the Maroons and I found that the Europeans said they spoke a mixed Sudanic language. That was 1 thing. And they talked about Muslim practices....I'm not 1 bit shocked! As you know, Hausa language is called "Arawa" while this word is also used in Benin meaning far away country or language. There is also the Arewa-Ijebu. Now in Jamaica there are African names places from diverse tribes such as Abeokunta, Ochi River, Accompong, Mon-Tego (Southern Africa), Trelawny (Twi), Nago-head, Barbican (Barbary), Mande-ville, Morant Bay, Port Antonio (Formerly Anton), Negril, Yallah, TIV-oli (Tiv people), etc. I only know this because I'm a researcher and study History. So plenty of the Port or Porto in the Caribbean and S. America is from the Potou Tano speakers. That's were Patou comes from. And awesomely, these Africans travelled out as far as Asia. Africans were everywhere prior to the Trans-Atlantic slavetrade. The antique maps show Negro everywhere below Europe😁😁. But they wanted to change that. Look to Indonesia and type in "Poto Tano".
Be blessed.
I think you’ll find that ‘Ocho Rios’ is Spanish meaning Eight Rivers. The Spanish landed in Jamaica in 1492 and named a lot of places - all the rivers still have Spanish names, like Rio Cobre, Rio Grande etc. Places such as St Jago De La Vega, (Spanish Town) etc. Names like Barbican etc were named by the British who captured Jamaica from the Spanish in the 1500s before bringing slaves from Africa. Barbican, Trelawny, Mandeville, etc are names of places in England after the British took over from the Spanish and long before the arrival of Africans. The three counties in Jamaica are Cornwall, Middlesex and Surrey - also named by the British after places in England. There are a few places such as Accompong which was named by the Maroons who rebelled and fled to the mountains which they named. But almost everywhere else in Jamaica is named by the British using names of places in England and Britain in general. The Irish must have named Sligoville based on County Sligo etc. The list goes on and on!! The Africans had no say in the naming of places in Jamaica - they came long after the British had already named such places.
You are welcome to Ghana(Bono). Bono/Brong/Abron is the cradle of Akan. We are located in Bono region, Bono East region, parts of Ahafo and North Eastern Côte d'lvoire
Wollof are senegalese and Gambian not Mali
Not even Mali
He is correct the Wolof are connected to Mali and you are correct as well.
@@halmamama43 wolof is spread. And also know that many wolofs is diveded. Like Lebou people, they are also wolof. You can find small wolof people of cap verde mali and guine and even mauritania. Wolof are first from senegal. But has spread!
And Mauritania
Thank you for sharing
thanks for your effort, I am from Dominica and i am Igbo
I've been doing research to find what tribe my ancestors came from. I really feel a connection to the Himba.
Lovely eyes - great video
Thank you!
I love your channel man
thank you!
This was amazing! Thank you!!
Great video. Thank you! I just took ancestry tests and found my mother side has some Djola & Fula tribe in Guinea-Bissau. I heard Fula and Fulani are the same. My mother also has Kru people in Liberia, and Mende and Temne in Sierra Leone. I am looking forward to learning more about Africa and our lineage. Peace
I heard both Guinea-Bissau and Sierra Leone offer citizenship by ancestry. You probably already knew that.
Ur mother probably came from the south we have diola tribe in senegal but most of them if u go back came from yoruba that fought the slavery and after liberated england and enslaved they spread the diola last name over here are ( sagna coly diedhiou ect)
This is lovely, and very educative
My family lineage has been traced back to the Tikar tribe in Cameroon.
Same 🎉 99.9 match
thank you for the information
...super informative...
Great video!!!!
Vous êtes un chercheur , agréer, merci
Thank you young man, very nice video. I am Italian descent, with North African Ancestry, very exciting! With the research I did, looks possible of Moor Tribe.?
Thank you
I found out that my heritage on my mothers side is connected to the Tikar people from Cameroon. One day I hope to meet my family in the Motherland.

Thanks very much bro,as for me am from Sierra Leone a tribe name Limba,can I please know about my tribe if we were involved or we were victims of slavery ? please let me know 👍
Good morning brother like your channel, name is Dwayne I currently live in the UK but Jamaican born I would like to believe that we are distant relative brother, as I am a 6 generation children of slave. Keep up the good work and keep reaching out to us living in the diaspora thank you brother.
New sub. Thanks for the video.
I'm Mexican American but my ancestry says I'm senegambian & Nigerian mixed w portugese & native American so I'm trying to learn bout my ancestors... its so neat though the DNA test app also shows me my 4th cousins that are in Nigeria! But its such a whole new thing to me
I’m West Indian and have over 5,000 matches. It’s an incredible feeling.
That sounds pretty dangerous lol
The Bono(Abron/Brong) are not only found in Ahafo region but mainly in Bono region and Bono East region of Ghana. Thanks
Thank you, My 3x Great-Grandmother on my maternal mother side was Fulani.
Insightful 👌
Excellent content
The best way to find the Tribe that American blacks, North and South. Also the Caribbean islands,
including Cuban African's. Is by using our DNA. This will help us solve most of the problem's that keep us from knowing our true heritage and origins.We as black people must work together to find out the truth for all Black's that have been taken from the mother land. We will not stop until the truth is known. God bless you my people. 🙏😔😎
We need you brothers and sisters so much to come back in Africa.We felt bardly and painfully after we had how was generouslly slave trade.
