I did the ancestry DNA test and it came back that I hit the ancestry lottery ticket : 100% African. 🎉 🎊 🎈
You don't mean it,100%?
Peter - Based on your last name, which appears to be African, that is not at all surprising.
@@donharder5449 - His last name appears to be African, so it is not a surprise that his results came back 100% African.
How much percent Ghana
I did mine, 97% African and 3% European
We MUST remember, alot of African ancestry is Mixed due to migrations, nomadic movement, clan clashes & trade - we need to open our eyes of identity beyond colonization & enslavement
Don't forget religious pilgrimage. The Muslims of Northern Nigeria trekked to Mecca to perform the Hajj, it took them months/years and many didn't return and settled along the way specifically in the Sudan and some in Saudi Arabia. This occurred before the advent of the colonialists.
@@oceejekwam6829 Your very correct, there are Hausa communities in Eritrea, many of this Hausa Ancestors,are on their way to Mecca, but due some reasons, they end up and settle in Eritrea, they remain for generations, they even give them different name. And again I met Another Sudanese Hausa man in Dubai, on my way to Tanzania, he is going to Kuwait. He told me, how is Ancestors end up in Sudan.
@@Eniola0ne We are all "one big African family".
Thank you for this....Im always glad when Africans share their DNA profiles.It helps us discover those lost roots. I’m planning to do the Ancestry test soon. I’d like to find relatives in Africa. Already did the African Ancestry test.
Interesting I know some Ghanaian DNA shows that they are from other countries in Africa, it reminds me that our accentors migrated different parts of Africa
His DNA is collect. He is 87% Ewe and 7% AAkan
yes they did,just like the venda ppl in SA who.originat d fom de DRC
Well once west African always an African Ghana to the world forever and ever #Benin and Togo Ewe tribe#Ghana still ewe tribe one Africa one DNA.
Motherland I'm coming home 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸
Evves migrated from Ketu which is on the Benin-Nigeria border. Ruben settled later at Notse in Togo
Ketu is on the bodder of what is same as Ogun state (where Ille-Iffe is) and Benin republic.
I really enjoyed this interesting session. I love your indepth approach to reaching the youth. Helping young people to set and reach realistic goals.
Thanks 👍 again. And I want to stay posted on this young man.
Benin/Togo meaning one of Erverh ethnicity.
From river volta in Ghana,through Togo,Dahomey now Benin Republic,as far into Badagry Nigeria was Gbe speaking ethnicity nation before 1884 partitioning of Africa.
Jay you’re looking sharp💯 I like Elikem since big brother 👌🏿🇬🇭
This is genius. Thank you for doing this.
Thank you for telling the truth!
Please don't listen to those African Americans who say they don't descend from Africa.jd
I am very eager to get mine done.
Cute the book you are promoting on the Black family and the twins. I am a twin too, boy girl twins! Sweet!
23 and me gives more bang for the buck. It gives you your maternal and paternal haplogroups and the site is a lot more user friendly. Plus I think it gives more fenetic details. For instance, I have Jewish ancestry. Ancestry didn't pick it up, but 23 and myheritage did. Plus I reconnected with two missing branches of my family through 23&me.
Thanks for sharing
Don’t be surprised about Benin because Benin was founded by Ewe and Yoruba. And their language is very similar to Ewe. Sorry for my bad English I speak French from Togo 🇹🇬
Like what you doing..good job
That was interesting
Nigerians were introduced into my bloodline around 1850 likely through my maternal grandfather's parents. Therefore, Nigerian distance cousins show up on my shared DNA lists. I have been in contact with a few of them . . . learned that my Nigerian ancestors come from the Urhobo people and the Igbo tribe (southeastern Nigeria). My maternal grandmother's people were considered more native to America (Creek).
I enjoyed. Very interesting. I would love to do it.
You make me remember what my mum told me,they took all my family abroad so we join ourselves to different family because we were small in numbers 😭😭😭😭
Wow...That's something to think about. I would love to hear that story from your mum. I am a cultural adn ancestral historian and an Afrocentric genealogist!
Benin and Togo shared the same ewe tribes so, there's no surprise there as for he saying that his pointed nose was because of his German ancestors that was rubbish because in Africa many African people have pointed noses without being mixed no European , I am 100% African and have a pointed nose with no European mixture let us stop this nonsense if it's not white is not right.
Have you done your DNA ? You'd be surprised ..
The guy wishes he was a white European man.
Cut him some slack. He's just unexposed.
@@fmlartey4747 I think he just has the "white man complex" that, let's face it, many many Ghanaian nationals have.
My mother is Ghanaian, but her father was British. She know her mothers family and history very well but doesn't know her father's family at all.
Jay, I would be very grateful, if you can go and visit the slave camp at upper east region of Ghana. Where most of the slaves were captured from . And I know they may have many lost relations in the diaspora
The slaves were not captured there,they brought them there after they were captured
Yep most of the slaves where caught in the north and where march straight to the castles in the south
@@popetrigger4859 most of the slaves from the Gold Coast didn't come from the North until the late 18th century. Before then most slaves were derived from central Ghana especially during the time the major Akan powers like the Ashanti,Akwamu,Denkyira,Fanti and Akyem were at war with one another.(When the Akyem defeated the Akwamu the white traders along the coast said the slaves from Akwamu were so many they became cheaper than a bottle of whisky and also some offered themselves to be sold due to starvation from the war).Also, many slaves were derived from Ewe territory but were marched to the Slave Coasts of Togo and Benin to be sold.
Many Africans have pointed noses,more pointed than elikem the tailor but have 100%african dna
West Africa has every phenotype. Its basically Egypt 2022
I've been mistaken for somali by strictly somali ppl.
Nice
I would like to do the same thing, to find any lost ancestor in the diaspora
I really want to do this DNA 🧬 test
So many of us took Ancestry DNA and 23 & me!
Ewes, Yoruba are in Benin and Togo
People we are all one.those borders and country names are colonial.so we are one People.
Love to do this
We are all mixed. One Africa
What a wonderful things to see all that the exam have to bring to is😅
You are God s.
Tsipotey is Anlo.
Wow! I will like to do a DNA with Ancestry DNA! That’s good to know about Africans DNA!❤️🇬🇭🇬🇭
Wanna do the test as well
Germans and Angles (Anglo) are from Norway. Your Russian ancestry could be intermarriage with Germans. Togo was a Germans territory before the second world war.
The results are saying he is 87% Ewe (Benin and Togo) and 7% Akan (Ivory Coast and Ghana). These foreign companies do not understand the nuances of ethnic groups in West Africa, and do not understand that Ewes are also found in Ghana. They assign all Ewes to Benin and Togo. Akans are found in Ivory Coast and Ghana so anyone with that designation would have some Akan ancestors. Overall, given his name, it's pretty accurate showing he's almost exclusively Ewe. Africans shouldn't get hang up on the countries but should concentrate on the actual ethnicities when interpreting their DNA results.
You misunderstand how the DNA works. It has nothing to do with the DNA companies knowing how it works. It's the DNA markers that people living him the same areas for 100s of years. Basically they're Distant relatives.
@@SHAI-HILLS You're ignorant
@@fmlartey4747 I must be related to your mother
@@SHAI-HILLS 😭😭
Ivory Coast/Ghana cannot be Akan alone. Is Akan the only ethnic group in the Gold Coast during the slave trade?
I cannot wait for all black people across the globe 🌍 to realize that their home is Africa !!!! Slave trade took people from different parts of Africa and the port of exit was Ghana 🇬🇭!!!
My guy stop saying German German, how many German blood in you 🙄
Oh Ghanaian, everything annoys u. He is proud of his German side and I don't see anything wrong with that. Personally I have my German side of the bloodline and proud of it as well as my African.
@@blackentrepreneur8564 what I’m saying he, has zero German in him, meaning it’s like 00.01 and he should stop saying German German German, as if it’s the greatest heritage. You have 99.9 percent African blood in you, so why are you talk about German. What’s so important about German that makes you mention German German German.
@Benjamin Asiedu
It seems like you're jealous
@@scipioafricanus9841 jealous of who? Germans? Haha you are crazy… or who am I jealous of?
@@benjaminasiedu9916 He has 97% African DNA and not 99.9% !!!
Please, at least get your simple arithmetic, based on what you've heard in the video, correct.
I come from Cameron lineage from N.C.....I did my DNA test and on Ancestry I am mostly Cameroonian ,,,,on my African Ancestry I am Tikar of Cameroon
You share a haplogroup with the Tikar and other groups but they found a high degree of similarity with a partial mitochondrial sequence or Y DNA depends on which one you tested
African Ancestry only test 1/46 chromosomes
Mitochondria is not a chromosome
Russia might be coming from East Germany. Russia was actually founded by Vikings called the Kiev Rus that might tie into the Norway
Oh he is Ghanaian with all those people connected to him. That is cool
Please, do you know that EWES are the only GROUP in WEST AFRICA that Traveled across the GLOBE?
@@samkofi9384 🙄🙄 relax ma guy
He's got the Nii Ayi story all wrong lmao. That aside, Ewes did not migrate from "Togo" to "Ghana" as he said. The Ewe part of Ghana as we know it today was a German colony (called German Togoland) made predominantly of different Ewe tribal groups prior to WWI. When the Germans lost WWI the land was taken over by the British and renamed Western Togoland. When Ghana was about to gain independence, The Ewes in Western Togoland were given the option whether to join an independent Ghana (Gold Coast) or join their fellow Ewes in neighboring French Togoland (modern day Togo). They chose the former and that's how we got Ewes to be part of Ghana after independence. There was no mass migration of Ewes into Ghana.
As for his version of the Ga chief Ayi story, I don't want to get into it. We need to teach more history in Ghana schools because some of these stories are just ridiculous to hear
Oh Elikem. You need to know your history very well. Ewe ethnic group streaches from Ketu (Nigeria),Benin and Togo predominantly. The same Ewes through slavery are found in Haiti,Cuba and Lousiania in the U.S. Benin is the center of Ewe Ethnic group. If Anlo's ( Tribe found among Ewe Ethnic group) are celebrating Hogbetsotso festival in Accra,people of Benin( Considered Brothers) are invited to joined . Personally i have problem with this DNA stuff because its identify country of origin instead Ethnic group. African are made up of Ethnic group so identifying your root by countries is the biggest flaws ever. With exception of Liberia and Ethiopia, all countries where strategically formed and countrolled by so call colonial master(Europeans).The name Gold coast was changed to Ghana by Kwame Nkrumah ,it was just a name change but couldn't changed the structure put in placed by the British. Therefore using DNA as a proof of identify and link it to countries of origin is intellectual dishonesty.They should take second look at it . .Eg Housa ethnic group are found in Guinea, Senegal,Mali,Nigeria etc. Ga ethnic group( The people of Accra) are found in Nigeria, Togo and Ghana.
@@wisdomakoto2044 I have looked at test results of other Ewe people who used the same company 1. Benin and Togo 2. Ivory Coast and Ghana 3. Nigeria is what they tend to get. Fon people who I know are related get 1. Benin and Togo 2. Nigeria. Anything else is small
The traditional Hausa states are in Nigeria so Hausa will get Nigeria. Now they updated and added East Central Nigeria so there is Just Nigeria and East Central
If I see Mali,Senegal and North Africa. I can tell that maybe that person is Fulani
Because I have a match who is 100% African with those countries whose last name is Bah. I looked that name up its Fulani.
Ewes have not migrated, they are still on the Trans Volta Togoland. They just voted to join Ghana. The whole Trans Volta Togoland, Togo, Benin and part of Nigeria were the same people before the scramble for Africa
Where do they sell the dna 🧬 kit from
I'm African American I'm 97% West African per DNA on ANCESTRY
EWE GROUP in WEST AFRICA are very EXHAUSTED people and are the only Black Race that Traveled across the GLOBE.
They built GREAT WALL of TSINA / CHINA and many PYRAMIDS in China 🇨🇳, Mexico 🇲🇽, Egypt 🇪🇬 and Sudan 🇸🇩.
They have traces in PACIFIC , JAPAN MYANMAR and INDIA.
Thank you.
The D.N A is cute
Timothy is Anlo. The Anlo's migrated from Dahomey now Benin not Togo.
Tsipotey is Anlo.
Sure, give your entire genome to anonymous Big Tech......What could go wrong? LOL!
Ap3tw3 the don papa tailor 🤣🤣🤣
Nasty, people change
DNA test is like raffle.
Bro glad about his European descendants
I don't think Elikem has European children or grandchildren, so, what's this talk of "European descendants"?? 🙄
@@scipioafricanus9841 Christianity has infected us so bad and Islam that we want to how European ancestry and Turkish ancestry a lot of us don't feel so fabulous about our African heritage unfortunately that's why we poor worldwide including Africa home of the blacks
Jay Cameron is unto some thing huge and this is going to expose a lot of people who think Ghana belongs to them
I was waiting for that one guy with a messed up mindset , and there we go!!!
The Ewes actually migrated from Dahomey, now Benin.
Gyimiii...you could see he is soo proud of the European ancestry...Next time you'd see him fighting for European rights in Africa...Wait for it...
😂😂😂
@antseif 😂😂😂😂😂 oh
😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 Oh bro Why?😂🤣🤣😸😸
😂😂😂😂😂
Elikem version of his Ewe history is not accurate. The Ewes originally came from Egypt through Ethiopia, to Nigeria, Benin,Togo and then Ghana. My brother’s Harplogooup confirmed this Egypt migration as it found that my paternal lineage came from the same lineage as King Ramses of Egypt.
Also Elikem matched some of the people in my result too so what is the name on his Ancestry account?
His Benin and Togo is from his Ewe heritage because the people of Benin and Togo are the same.
King Ramses????Whoops.. .Princess Ramses .
So why did Egypt not show up at all?
Every west African came from Egypt
The Ewes in Ghana are completely Ghanaians though they migrated from Benin and Togo as the history says. Ghana was built by migrated people and as long as we have permanently settled we own possession of the land. The tracking is cool tho
There wasn't Ghana at that time
There was no Ghana .... there was only tribes who owned land .... Ghana came into being when those lands owned by different tribes came together .
There were Guans before anyone else
There are yorubas in benin
Agoooo, Kurmodzi don't know much about his EWE ancestry.
The Ewes migrated from the nile river, through Sudan, to Oyo State in Nigeria, Gbadagry, Ketu in Lagos state. Agbome Kingdom in present day Benin before they moved west in 🇹🇬 Togo "French" and the Trans Volta Togoland "Volta Region" today's Ghana.
Can you please provide the documentary sources of your assertions
The dna shows he has no Nigerian in him so🙄😶
When Elikem asked where the Balkans were, my instinct was . . . "What an ignorant uneducated man"!
But then I quickly realised that if you were to mention "Ghana" to 99.9% of people in the Balkans, they would also ask . . . "Where is that?"
two wrongs don't make it right
But there's nothing wrong because you don't hear the name balkans anywhere.atleast you hear or see ghana when they play world cup ,same with Nigeria in soccer or music u hear their names but I haven't heard balkans anywhere before.
@@myview1263 You've not heard "Balkans" before? Not even in connection with the Yugoslavian (Bosnia, Kosovo, Serbia etc) war of the late 1990s?? 😳
@@scipioafricanus9841 yes pls.this is my first time and am 40
@@myview1263 Okay. I can tell you that I know lots of people in Europe, who are older than 40 years, and who have never heard of Ghana!! Many of these ignorant Europeans actually live in the Balkans region 🤣🤣. Bear in mind that Eastern Europe never had any historic and colonial ties with Africa. Their dealings with Africans is relatively recent.
Mr Elikem, if they are europeans immigrants they aren't the typical americans. Except if I don't understand what you're trying to say.
Ewes absolutely didn't migrate from Togo to Ghana.they just voted in an election to join with Ghana in the 1950s.volta region was always part of Togo until it was partitioned by the French and the British after they stole it from the Germans after their wars in the early 1900s
@mega at oh
It's either you are ignorant, or you are a bold faced liar!
NOT ALL OF THE VOLTA REGION was part of Togo!
Please do your research. Information is ubiquitous these days, thanks to Google
Ewes were actually part of modern day Ghana before the Ashantis. Half of modern day Volta Region, along the sea was part of Ghana before the majority of the Akans joined Ghana. Learn your history before giving out wrong information.
@@fmlartey4747 the worst decision Asantis made was to be part of Ghana
@@MegaAtOh okay
Ewes didn't migrate to Ghana, Ghana met Ewes
Ga's are not from Nigeria pls check ur fact well Ga's are from Israel they just pass through Nigeria during migration
My tailor friend try to fix your trousers right , doesn’t look serious or proper at all for a tailor
Elikem namesake, don’t be surprised because The United Kingdom of Ewe is made up of Benin, Togo and Ghana.
the correct ethnicity is actually EVERH
🤣The United Kingdom of Ewe. That's a good one
United kingdom of Ewe *never* existed 😂😂
@@starlites7861 “we hear”
UK of Ewe would actually be Dahomey Empire.
"Where are the Balkans?"......"Somewhere up there (with Whitey, amirite?)" What's the point of finding out where you come from if you can't use a map to see where that actually is on the Earth? LOL!
Benin n togo r same ppl, ewe/togo/benin are all FON people, ga ppl didn’t cm from Nigeria , they migrated thru Nigeria , get the difference
eiii, is this DNA thing true at all hmm🤔😏 I don't believe it
Errrm loads of Africans have pointed noses with out Having European ancestry that’s a very myopic to say your nose is pointed cause you have some German ancestry
you are Ewe and you don't know the greater part of ur DNA is from Benin?? eeeiiii
