Awesome to hear. Never forget that feeling when I learned my maternal results... I guess it right too just before the reveal. Mende people of Sierra Leone!
lol the hand movements when talking is the most Ghanaian thing ever. When I travel and people see me talk they always ask ‘why do u move your hands a lot when u talk?’ 😃😃
@cheryl Grant There are Fulanis living in ghana too. They reside in the northern part of Ghana and have been there for a really long time, they are part of Ghana now.
No pls Fulani has never been part of Ghana . Our history has no Fulani people as Ghanaian. So even 5 yr olds in Ghana knows Fulani are not a part of Ghana.They are not part of Ghana history and not a part of tribes in Ghana.
Congratulations! My African Ancestry results connects me to the Tikar People in Cameroon in my maternal side. I definitely talk with my hands and eyes. I’m very animated with facial expressions as well. 🤣🤣🤣
Love your channel my people. In regards to your wife's nose , it is like the fulani people in the northern part of Nigeria and she does have a resemblance to them. In fact she reminds me of the Nigerian presidents wife Aisha Buhari
You know a lot of enslaved captives were brought to Ghana to be sold so though they passed through Ghana might not be from Ghana. But I'm kind of disappointed you're not Akan fron Ghana. But you can always claim affiliation rights. 💪💪💪
@@BridgingtheGap400 That is what I always say..its borders drawn up by Europeans. When I was in Ghana in April of 2019 I saw many black folks who looked like someone I know in Canada....it blew my mind. I am Ashanti and you sir look like one of my Uncles from my mother's side.
That's CRAZY, as it relates to the cost of the phone calls and the mountain shared between the two countries, but not being able to cross without the right documents... Thank you for sharing your results and your experiences
I just love your video... very professionally done for the year 2020 and I love the very witty connection between Cheryl and her hubby Roger! Your sense of humour was infectious and brightened me up. You two make a GREAT couple! Kindly read my long post as YOU both will find it illuminating... especially Cheryl as it pertains to her maternal Haplogroup result of Kanuri and the other group that was mentioned. Cheryl can also do an autosomal DNA test with AncestryDNA aka Ancestry.com and 23andMe.com. If North Africa DNA marker percentage does not appear in her result, then it means she has NO Fulani maternal line... more on that later as you read on. Welcome home and congratulations to Cheryl Grant and Roger Grant on the Patriclan and Matriclan DNA tests linking you to Cameroon, Gabon and Nigeria. The Kanuri are located in 2 countries... in Borno State, Nigeria and Chad where they are known as the Kanembu people. Other ethnicities besides the Kanuri of Northern Borno are the Bura/Babur, Marghi, Gwoza, Kibaku where the kidnapped Chibok school girls who were forcibly converted to Islam by terrorists against their will mostly came from. For Roger, the Bamilekes and the Tikars of Cameroon are closely related and I gathered this information from a few Tikars online. This pretty much confirms that a lot of people from Cameroon and Gabon were deported from their ancestral homelands and enslaved in the Americas. Someone from the Tikar people on RUclips said up to 70 percent of Tikars were enslaved and that may be responsible for the fairly high number of Tikar or even Cameroon results from the AfricanAncestry.com Patriclan and Matriclan tests!
Congrats! My husband and I took the test also. I share ancestry with the Mende' people from Sierra Leone. My husband share ancestry with the Marka people in Burkina Faso
Wow, wow, wow! I'm SO LOVING these African Ancestry results for you guys! Still super excited, nevertheless! // The African Ancestry Tour sounds super amazing! What a genius idea?! Yesssssssss, we're ALL still African and Y'all ARE STILL Auntie & Uncle!!! The borders are sickening!!! I don't even feel like being triggered regarding these da** Colonizers this early in the morning, but yeah.......Intentional division is exactly right. // Also, I'll be in Ghana the latter part of March + early April.
I am Fulani & its true that the Fulani people are nomadic people and predominately muslim. I am Fulani from Senegal & Guinea My Ancestry DNA results suggest I am 3% Nigerian. I would love to take the African Ancestry DNA test to see what it reveals.
When I heard you say Fulani people, the first picture that came to mind is Nigeria President and his children. Google it and to see if there's any resemblance.
Iam surprised I was right about the woman 😂 I should trust my gut more. Well I was half right but congrats to you both. I seen the man results on African Ancestrydna Facebook page but missed your wife results.
@@BridgingtheGap400 You could have come up Mozambican on the East Coast or even Tanzanian or Ugandan tribe as Portuguese bought slaves from there from Arabs. Some sent to the Americas so East.
Your wife being Fulani and Kanuri. Am not surprised she got the Fulani features. The president of Nigeria is Fulani. Very interesting results from ancestry search. Congratulations and welcome home to the continent.
Cameroon!! Yes, bear in mind Cameroon is the microcosm of Sub-Saharan Africa (Africa in Miniature) and has almost all groups of people in the continent. It is the crossroads: West to East and North thru Central to Southern Africa. A lot of movement took place there.
Fulani, also called Peul or Fulbe, a primarily Muslim people scattered throughout many parts of West Africa, from Lake Chad, in the east, to the Atlantic coast. They are concentrated principally in Nigeria, Mali, Guinea, Cameroon, Senegal, and Niger.
That’s why African American need to step up as Nelson Mandela said you are our ambassadors...African’s need AA expertises to help take our destiny in our hands
Yes, you are beautiful, blessed couples, It doesn’t matter where your DNA says you came from on the continent we still love you and welcome you as Ghanaians😍 because we’re all Africans.... let’s Unite Africa.❗️
Congrats for finding your tribes, it is important so you can learn your unique ancestral identity. Dr Boyce Watkins also found out he is Igbo, Nigerian. I love the family reunion meetings idea, especially if It starts in home country and then continues to going home and I think diaspora Africans should play a bridging part in that too. As far as boarders they are everywhere though same with Canada and the States or the States and Mexico.
Don't be disappointed because we Ghanaians are a compilation of Senegal Mali Gambia most part of northern Africa and the Ga people are from Nigeria according to our history. The name Ghana is actually a tribe from Senegal
@@stephaniefrancis471 yes see how their old men dresses exactly like the Yuraba old men. Their greetings at a traditional gatherings tone of talking it's part of Ghana history
Fulani mostly herders, kanuri built the one thousand year saifawa Dynasy and the kanem Borno empire.The kanuri are also excellent craftsmen.Interestingly the Kanuri are found in the extreme north region of cameroun while the fulanis are also found in Northern and central cameroun.
Thanks for sharing. I did ancestry DNA I also did 23 and me and I felt that I was Ghana but it turned out that I was Cameroon,Nigerian,Mali and Senegal. My question is how can they exactly differentiate which region Africans in America are from because the borders in Africa were created by the colonialist. How long are you going to be In Ghana? Can you all give us a tour of your home In Ghana...
LA L the test doesn’t tell you where you’re from. It tells you where your people are located at today. We’ll be leaving Ghana on the 14th and we don’t have our own place here yet.
Congrats to both of you! I am also from Cameroon. Dr. Lisa Aubrey is planning a trip and conference on Roots, Rememory, Returns: A Global African Dialogue in Cameroon, co-organized by Drs. Ekema Steven Agbaw and Dr. Lisa Aubrey for December 2020. The Cameroon Trip and Conference itinerary (cometocameroon2020@gmail.com) includes, but is not exclusive to: 1) a historic conference, 2) a pilgrimage to historic sites, 3) immersion with communities and kingdoms, 4) visits with traditional and contemporary authorities, 5) many opportunities to appreciate and engage in the culture, 6) a chance to participate in Africa-Diaspora co-development projects, 7) a gala, and receptions, 8) visits to museums, 9) shopping, 10) education and cultural learning, 11) networking, chances to volunteer, and more.
We are a people dispersed.....Aren’t we? Look where they landed some of us? (Jamaica)...... And then, discouraged the use of their language, calling it “bad English”. When I met my. Ghanaian husband, and used some of the language and phrases we use.....( in patwah)....He says....That’s one of his languages or dialects, and of course, his Dad a businessman moved the family quite a bit, in the process they learnt different dialects......THE LORD KNOWS THOSE THAT ARE HIS!!
Just to give you additional info, the Fulani tribe inhabits both northern Nigeria and part of northern Cameroon. You and your wife may be from Cameroon.
Fulani people are in almost all countries in West Africa. Senegal, Nigeria, Republic of Guinea, Sierra Leone, Mauritania, Mali, the Gambia and Ghana. Yes they are nomadic and clannish. They are one of the most beautiful tribes and prefer marrying each other. They are mostly Muslims. Assuming you live in Texas, you can find the Fula progressive Union of Dallas Tx there. Texas has the largest community of Africans and they all celebrate cultural events every year. If you wanna call anywhere almost free, download Whatsapp. Love Bamileke music. My Favorite singer is Meiway. Large Cameroon community in Dallas also. Search on youtube for your people, culture and food. All Africans gesticulate, it's just part of us.
You guys should give me credit. I predicted Nigeria (though I said SE Nigeria or SW province of Cameroon). I know she has certain features I am familiar with. I grew up in Northern Nigeria and most of my mates were of fulani/kanuri. extraction. I am here for further lessons. Congratulations.
I'm just curious about this DNA ancestry information. I just think that for African Americans the information that is given is still too general. When white people get their DNA reports back not only do they know exactly where they are from they get their relative 's information that are living and dead and the exactly location to find and reach them with accuracy. Why isn't there a more direct bloodline to family?
OMG...she sure looks like a Fulani/Kanuri lady from the northern part of Nigeria, no doubt. She has the features and their women are so damn beautiful and graceful.
Brother, you've cousins with the Tikar people in Cameroon. There is a family reunion held in Cameroon twice a year for the descendants of the Tikar people and their cousins. As reparations and a sign of solidarity they are giving the descendants free land. Let me know if you want me to connect you with lead of the organization in the diaspora.
I'm Fulani n Yoruba from Nigeria... congrats to both of you...Thrs a brother in Ghana from Houston that has just built a home thr in Ghana. Inbox me and il link u guys up.. just incase ur considering building thr in Ghana.
...sent a fb friend request to each of you this a m. ...this is My 2nd time seeing your youtube channel, will subscribe and share into a group, several Friends are planning a trip, and are seeking as much info as possible before We go in there.
Sister Cheryl You can get in touch I will tell you about your tribe. If you watch 90 days Fiancé Lisa the White Lady Who went to Nigeria to Marry Usman the Soja boy. Soja boy is from Kanuri tribe they are of Borno state and they are cattle herdsmen and farmers. My dad was stationed there when he was in the military. So I know them very well. While the Fulanis are also into cattle rearing the current President of Nigeria is of Fulani tribe. They refused to move with the 21century though we are working on it. But you be glad to know they are very beautiful people. The name of your native region is called Maiduguri Borno State In Northern Nigeria They Are Majority Muslim. While The Southerners Are Majority Christians. If you like to go to Nigeria some day I will be glad to connect you to My personal families. See you in 9nja soon though I’m in the state for now. God Bless You As You Find Your Root.
I have a question I'm waiting on my African ancestry results which I'm excited about. I'm looking to get a citizenship in Africa do you guys know how to go about that process if having this documentation from African ancestry is something that will help with that? Please let me know. You are so cute I love watching you together :-) by the way I reside in the United States in the state of California and I am an African-American woman
Hi Kym, getting citizenship is going to be different in each African country. You may need to narrow down where you’d like to go so you can search more specifically. I personally don’t know of any countries where the African Ancestry results is influencing the government but my wife says she thinks she heard of one but she can’t remember which one. 🤷🏾♂️
@@BridgingtheGap400 First thank you so much for responding. I was thinking if I had proof that I am descendant from a specific tribe or people that would give me some leverage for citizenship at least in the country they reside
You don't need to go to Nigeria or Cameron. Ghanaians are deep from all the way through the lines. Mali, Ethiopia, Cameron, Nigeria and settled in Gold Coast currently Ghana. So your ancestry could be in Ghana.
Congrats Bridging the Gap - AS I write this comment my African Ancestry results are on a Fed X truck coming my way today! To discover if you have some Ghana ethnic DNA you could take the Ancestry.com DNA or 23 and Me to see admixture results.
No wayyy... Lol a Gabonese bro. Welcome, Ludacris, Samuel L Jackson got their passports recently. Basically Gabon, Cameroon, Congo etc... Share the same peoples. As you said we know where the borders came from. These people are known as the Bantu, which go up to South Africa. Languages like Lingala, Swahili and many others have the same Bantu roots. It's like the Latin languages with Spanish or French for exemple. Many Bantu people have migrated to the South of the continent when the Arabs invaded Egypt long time before the Europeans came. Gabon is an interesting one: When the Europeans decided to stop slavery, most of the ships that were already on their way to Europe, turned back to drop captured people on the continent. Of course they didn't do like Uber, they just dropped everyone at the same place, that's how countries like Gabon got created with other local people that were already there. This is the reason the capital is called Libreville (meaning "free town" in English). The administrative language is the French. Lot of history ... 👋🏽 Fang+Bamileke = stubborn 😱
Yeah, cousin I’m Bamileke, my maternal ancestors were brought into Virginia. They left Virginia and migrated to Pittsburgh in the 1900’s. I thought your wife was going to be Bamileke. My mother had a very very entrepreneurial spirit. My maternal great grandfather brought his home in Pittsburgh in 1930’s, working as a janitor in the steel mill. They were very entrepreneurial.
Am Kofi, from Ghana, based in Dubai". In all this we are ONE, in Dubai here , I called one Filipino, Napali Indian, China' and Sri Lanka, and I show them to British Man, told them that they're from one Parent, the British Man started Laughing, He said how can that be possible, it's a big lie, Which was true, Ok after, Am a Ghanaian, I called Nigeria South Africa, Kenya, Cameron, Ethiopian, and Congo, and I introduced ourselves to another White Man & Arab that, We are Family of one Parent, here looking for Job, and they believe us, see". We all from deferent Countries, but they believe us from one Parent, so you see how the Creator Make AFRICANS ? yeah we are the same, all is Africa Leader don't think far, that's all.
African ancestry traces your mothers mothers mothers mother and fathers fathers fathers father. You may have ancestry from Ghana as well. I have found distant cousins with ancestry test from Gambia to Kenya. Bamileke also are tied to the Nile Valley civilizations.

yaw Boateng yes it’s so cool how genetics are so strong.
Wow wow wow. Surprisingly surprised. Fulani are the nomadic tribe in Northern Nigeria. It stretches west to northern Niger and Mali and Burkina faso
There's fulani people in Guinea Conackery, Guinea Bissau, Senegal and Gambia
She indeed looks like a fulani/kanuri person
The Fulanis are beautiful and they are all over Africa
Muslims not Hebrews lol
Hello guys we will still adopt you as Ghanaians...
And we'll take it! :)

I just looked up the kanuri people of Nigeria! And you absolutely do favor them! Great video guys
Fulanis people, are find from west Africa like Ghana, Nigeria, Burikina Faso, and so on,
Finally 😊. I should get mines the end of this month. Thank you for sharing.
The wife of Ghana’s Vice President is a Fulani so you may be related.

1:37 her maternal fulani and kanuri ?..wow. in Nigeria. 1st kanuri descendant i heard of .
Wow.props.

I just love your video... very professionally done for the year 2020 and I love
the very witty connection between Cheryl and her hubby Roger! Your sense of
humour was infectious and brightened me up. You two make a GREAT couple!
Kindly read my long post as YOU both will find it illuminating... especially
Cheryl as it pertains to her maternal Haplogroup result of Kanuri and the
other group that was mentioned. Cheryl can also do an autosomal DNA
test with AncestryDNA aka Ancestry.com and 23andMe.com. If North Africa
DNA marker percentage does not appear in her result, then it means she
has NO Fulani maternal line... more on that later as you read on.
Welcome home and congratulations to Cheryl Grant and Roger Grant on the Patriclan
and Matriclan DNA tests linking you to Cameroon, Gabon and Nigeria. The Kanuri
are located in 2 countries... in Borno State, Nigeria and Chad where they are known as the
Kanembu people. Other ethnicities besides the Kanuri of Northern Borno are the
Bura/Babur,
Marghi, Gwoza, Kibaku where the kidnapped Chibok school girls who were forcibly
converted to Islam by terrorists against their will mostly came from.
For Roger, the Bamilekes and the Tikars of Cameroon are closely related
and I gathered this information from a few Tikars online. This pretty much
confirms that a lot of people from Cameroon and Gabon were deported
from their ancestral homelands and enslaved in the Americas. Someone
from the Tikar people on RUclips said up to 70 percent of Tikars were enslaved
and that may be responsible for the fairly high number of Tikar or even Cameroon
results from the AfricanAncestry.com Patriclan and Matriclan tests!
Congrats! My husband and I took the test also. I share ancestry with the Mende' people from Sierra Leone. My husband share ancestry with the Marka people in Burkina Faso
She actually looks like Fulani from Northern Nigeria, like the president's family.
Damn right
😂😂😂😂😂
@@konq8494 :please ,is Ghana bigger than Nigeria and what's the population in comparison?
Dave Link Ghana(31 million) is smaller than Nigeria( over 200million people)
Uncle Roger, the results notwithstanding you are our uncle and that's all that matters! Got to confess though, I still see an Ashanti in you, period!
Paa Ben I receive that!!! ❤️
It might be mixed into his other fabric
Fulani people are beautiful nomadic and great cattle farmers. Fulani people are in prominent positions in Ghana. The 2nd Lady of Ghana is Fulani.
Her roots Nigerian Fulani though. The president is Fulani and many people in prominent positions in government.

Congrats on your results.
OMG...she sure looks like a Fulani/Kanuri lady from the northern part of Nigeria, no doubt. She has the features and their women are so damn beautiful and graceful.
Brother, you've cousins with the Tikar people in Cameroon. There is a family reunion held in Cameroon twice a year for the descendants of the Tikar people and their cousins. As reparations and a sign of solidarity they are giving the descendants free land. Let me know if you want me to connect you with lead of the organization in the diaspora.

You both look Cameroonian and Fulani, respectively. Test is spot on.
It don't matter Ghanaians all of them originally moved from Egypt looking for rich land to farm food and they found Ghana 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧😎🙏
Sister Cheryl You can get in touch I will tell you about your tribe. If you watch 90 days Fiancé Lisa the White Lady Who went to Nigeria to Marry Usman the Soja boy. Soja boy is from Kanuri tribe they are of Borno state and they are cattle herdsmen and farmers. My dad was stationed there when he was in the military. So I know them very well. While the Fulanis are also into cattle rearing the current President of Nigeria is of Fulani tribe. They refused to move with the 21century though we are working on it. But you be glad to know they are very beautiful people. The name of your native region is called Maiduguri Borno State In Northern Nigeria They Are Majority Muslim. While The Southerners Are Majority Christians. If you like to go to Nigeria some day I will be glad to connect you to My personal families. See you in 9nja soon though I’m in the state for now. God Bless You As You Find Your Root.
My wife bought me an African Ancestry kit for christmas .
Anthony Mckinney yes I found that out at our reveal! 👍🏽
@@BridgingtheGap400 You find out my wife bought me a kit at your reveal?
@@AnthonyMckinney-yu4lk lol
Enjoyed!
Beautiful
I have a question I'm waiting on my African ancestry results which I'm excited about. I'm looking to get a citizenship in Africa do you guys know how to go about that process if having this documentation from African ancestry is something that will help with that? Please let me know. You are so cute I love watching you together :-) by the way I reside in the United States in the state of California and I am an African-American woman
Hi Kym, getting citizenship is going to be different in each African country. You may need to narrow down where you’d like to go so you can search more specifically. I personally don’t know of any countries where the African Ancestry results is influencing the government but my wife says she thinks she heard of one but she can’t remember which one. 🤷🏾♂️
@@BridgingtheGap400 First thank you so much for responding. I was thinking if I had proof that I am descendant from a specific tribe or people that would give me some leverage for citizenship at least in the country they reside
Kym Smith I personally can’t say if that’s accurate or not.
Lovely couple
There is Fulani in northern Cameroonian you look exactly like
You don't need to go to Nigeria or Cameron. Ghanaians are deep from all the way through the lines. Mali, Ethiopia, Cameron, Nigeria and settled in Gold Coast currently Ghana. So your ancestry could be in Ghana.
Congrats Bridging the Gap - AS I write this comment my African Ancestry results are on a Fed X truck coming my way today!
To discover if you have some Ghana ethnic DNA you could take the Ancestry.com DNA or 23 and Me to see admixture results.
The result said they are from Gabon, Cameron and northern Nigeria, not Ghana. Why cant they go to Nigeria or Cameron?
I said it. The Fang people are in both side of the border. Even the Cameroon President is of the Fang tribe.
There are Fulanis in Ghana as well.
No wayyy... Lol a Gabonese bro. Welcome, Ludacris, Samuel L Jackson got their passports recently.
Basically Gabon, Cameroon, Congo etc... Share the same peoples. As you said we know where the borders came from. These people are known as the Bantu, which go up to South Africa. Languages like Lingala, Swahili and many others have the same Bantu roots. It's like the Latin languages with Spanish or French for exemple. Many Bantu people have migrated to the South of the continent when the Arabs invaded Egypt long time before the Europeans came. Gabon is an interesting one: When the Europeans decided to stop slavery, most of the ships that were already on their way to Europe, turned back to drop captured people on the continent. Of course they didn't do like Uber, they just dropped everyone at the same place, that's how countries like Gabon got created with other local people that were already there. This is the reason the capital is called Libreville (meaning "free town" in English). The administrative language is the French. Lot of history ... 👋🏽
Fang+Bamileke = stubborn 😱
MauOnline great feedback! Thank you!!!
Fulanis are Nomads. They are everywhere. Ghana, Nigeria, Togo, Benin, Burkina Faso,
Wow,Congratulations.😀
Yeah, cousin I’m Bamileke, my maternal ancestors were brought into Virginia. They left Virginia and migrated to Pittsburgh in the 1900’s. I thought your wife was going to be Bamileke. My mother had a very very entrepreneurial spirit. My maternal great grandfather brought his home in Pittsburgh in 1930’s, working as a janitor in the steel mill. They were very entrepreneurial.
Wassup Cuz!
My beautiful sister ❤ Nigeria 🇳🇬 ❤ love you
Second lady in Ghana is Fulani
Am Kofi, from Ghana, based in Dubai". In all this we are ONE, in Dubai here , I called one Filipino, Napali Indian, China' and Sri Lanka, and I show them to British Man, told them that they're from one Parent, the British Man started Laughing, He said how can that be possible, it's a big lie, Which was true,
Ok after, Am a Ghanaian, I called Nigeria South Africa, Kenya, Cameron, Ethiopian, and Congo, and I introduced ourselves to another White Man & Arab that, We are Family of one Parent, here looking for Job, and they believe us, see". We all from deferent Countries, but they believe us from one Parent, so you see how the Creator Make AFRICANS ? yeah we are the same, all is Africa Leader don't think far, that's all.
African Leaders are narrow minded and Western puppets...🤯
There's no Ethiopian person that went Europe or America as a slave trade there's a none because Ethiopia never been colonized!
African ancestry traces your mothers mothers mothers mother and fathers fathers fathers father. You may have ancestry from Ghana as well. I have found distant cousins with ancestry test from Gambia to Kenya. Bamileke also are tied to the Nile Valley civilizations.
