- "I thought Africa is filled with children who had flies all over their faces before I came to Nigeria, because of the image presented by the mass media" Says Khirlu Burton who is in awe after visiting his homeland Nigeria for the first time.
My Mother is from Jamaica 🇯🇲 I did 2 different ancestry tests in the UK and both came back 96% African 55% Nigerian 🇳🇬😀. My Nigerian ancestry is from my Mums family. To be honest I’ve always felt a connection with Nigeria, All Praises to the Most High.
I have no recent Jamaican people in my family but I have found out I got Jamaican cousins (3&4) st Elizabeth Parish, Jamaica, England, Canada and right here in NYC. Small world. I think somebody lying about who they are😂😂😂
From historical achieves, They were matching the Igbo women with Ghanian men.Ghanians claim their mothers birth side instead of father's side.The Biarfans, are the Igbos,Efik,ibibios,Ikweres, south east Nigeria, Cameroon, congo was where they took 100% of people towards the end of the slavery to the Americas and carribian..
Nigeria is a name of a country and not ancestry roots or race. Yow will have to go back and do the DNA test again to know exactly your ethnicity or ancestry tribe. Nigeria as a country cannot prove ethnic nationality.
Am proud of igbo race
I’m African American and found out I’m 47% Igbo. I was shocked my percentage was so high! Thats literally half of my dna. I did a lot of searching and found a lot of history of Igbo people in Virgina. There is even an Igbo tribute land in Virginia I just found out about a few weeks ago. There is documentation of ship manifesto naming Igbos as the preferred group in Virginia. All new to me. So much history we don’t know about.

@@aviakidos-lobitos2398 Ok ok….I checked out your videos. Very interesting. I just have an adverse reaction to those other Hebrew Israelites that are anti African. I thought you were one of them. So imma do some more research.
Yes people like tdjakes, timbaland ,Steve Harvey ,50cent jayz, meekmill ,mike tyson and Dwayne wade etc are of Igbo ancestry they look very much like Igbo men and I'm aware that TD jakes , timbaland and Steve Harvey are from virginia
@@joyuyoke4999 My most recent family is from NC on both sides but as I find out way back …..2 great grands ( and back) on both sides were from Virginia. So far my family has been here since the 1700s. Also most of my family is over 90% plus African. Some no euro dna at all. So much for that myth that there are no full African African Americans.
U welcome bro! I love you
I’m African American my dna results are 95% African and 50% Nigerian
🙌🏾🔴⬛️🟢
Wow! I’m 47% Igbo. Did you find which ethnic group in Nigeria?
@@zeeqq105 Esan ppl of Edo state
@@NYChiphop67 Wow! 🔴⚫️🟢. Are they a subgroup of Igbo. I know there are many like this. I’m heavy into Yoruba culture(long story..lol) and they have subgroups.
@@zeeqq105 yes they are brothers of Igbo according to Benin Edo oral origin
history 🙌🏾
@@NYChiphop67 Esan Oye!
That young man Is lucky
I wanna see more of this ... all-around Africa 🌍
I love hearing this story. I live in America and it sadden me that we really don't know our history
I decided to get my DNA tested and I found that I'm Nigerian, Cameroon, Ghana etc. I can't wait until I travel over to Nigeria. I know it's going to be emotional. When I tell Americans here I want to go to Nigeria they tell me don't go it's dangerous and nasty living. I'm on clubhouse and I talk to multiple people from Africa and I'm learning how much we don't know as Americans. Uh
I’ve been to Nigeria several times. You will love it. The people are so hospitable and just so nice. You will feel at home seeing so many black faces everywhere. So many places to shop and eat. Nice malls and great clubs. Fabulous hotels and nice beaches. But one thing you gotta keep in mind is don’t have such high expectations. Meaning it’s not like Europe or America. Not a lot of sidewalks or conveniences. A lot of open markets which I love love. People have been telling us that they won’t like us. It’s prolly the biggest lie ever told.
@@zeeqq105 Even though I haven't been there yet. I talk to a lot of Nigerians through the clubhouse app they are nice overall. I heard a lot of views that they have of westerners I was shocked, but I understand. I'm looking forward to going over there. In America we were told so many negative things.
@@captionsofgrace clubhouse app? What’s that about? Yes, we have a lot of misconceptions about each other, unfortunately.
@@zeeqq105 it's a social network based on audio and it's in real time. You will meet people all over the globe. You can join different groups. Check it out. If you do find me. I'm listed under Margaret Pryce.
@@captionsofgrace OK. It’s called CLUBHOUSE?
Know your History
Sending my full love,the Bell Is on
You are welcome brother
He looks igbo for real.
Articúlate Jamaica man. I thought maroons were runaway of all different slaves groups. Igbo dna has been proven Israelites.
The guy that interviewed you is a Yoruba
I thought he is Hausa.
He is not a yoruba man , but from Benue state , in the middle belt of Nigeria, he is still known as North Central.
You should not mix Yoruba and Igbo.
Yoruba are different from Igbo.
Why do Yoruba want to be Both Igbo and Yoruba.
Give up been Yoruba if you want to be Igbo.
Nigeria is not Igbo.
We have different Nationality in Nigeria 🇳🇬
So you're Jews and feel better than other tribes in Nigeria?
This one nor get sense at all. No wonder y'all not united
Stop all this tribalism
@@hdmiliondyce2000 don't mind the clown. See how divided they are
@@iyamugeorge5835
He state the truth.
Both Yoruba and Igbo cannot be mix together as same identity.
Igbo and Yoruba are different people and different tribe and different language.
Yoruba is not an Igbo okay understand it
Igbos are Israel not Egyptian.
Not Jewish.
And so I'm igbo too, let's stop all this and fix our Country.
I love u sister, u know we aren't Jews. I hope u have deeper knowledge of history of the Jews disguising themselves as the real Israelites whereas they're not.
@@hdmiliondyce2000 I hope u are talking about biafra, because Nigeria is a joke
Igbos are not Israel. Black first existed in this world, and Igbos are blacks. They came from us, not the other way round
How can you be Israel but not Jewish?
Abraham
Isaac
Jacob aka Israel
Judah = ancestor of the Jews
AFRICA is originally called Ethiopia shall soon stretch forth its hands to GOD Almighty YAWEH ......we are all black people from Ethiopia..........Marcus Garvey is the first one to inspired us black to return to Ethiopia AFRICA......
You made a very big mistake, you could have just come straight to the Igbo land because yoruba guys can kill you.
Are you sure your an igbo man, thts all what you people knows how to do, only to incite intertrabal war online, if a yoruba man see this he will think igbo man is talking, he may not no someone somewere is trying to curse problem, are you jealous this man said he is igbo.
I am a Nigerian Igbo but grew up in the US. I did my ancestry test and found that I related to close to 3000 people on ancestry alone. It was bittersweet to know because it must have been a lot my family members at least 5 people sold to North America, South America, Puerto Rico, other parts of Nigeria, and Jamaica. I actually cried to be honest.
Most Jamaicans don't know the origin. But he as a child would have been called (redibo) Red Igbo.
We actually do know of our heritage and from whence we came. It's the lack to further educate that is missing..sadly.
@@carolmcmc4079 Sorry I think you misunderstood. I am saying that a nickname for a so called red skin person is redebo, (have you heard that before) the meaning of which is Red Igbo. I and my fam use the name but not until recently realised it refers to the Red skinned Igbo people.
@@carolmcmc4079 true the Jamaican dialect alone reflects a lot of languages in west Africa….. most Jamaicans and other Caribbean’s know a lot and are in the high 90s dna wise of west African dna 🧬 🥳🥳🥳
@@jeffdan4608even in Jamaica we call people his colour “red”
Burna boy and Jerusalem song and dance by Master KG music is LOVE and PEACE and UNITE ourselves.........
All black family's should come home 🏡, and help build up all of Africa 🌍
Na only west Africa and central Africa
@@joyuyoke4999 be all of Africa. First skavecteadecwas in north and east Africa by the Arabs. Lots if skav3s were taken out if Angola and surrounding countries by the Portuguese. Know your history
why can't Africans build it?
Well Done.
Lover of All CARRIBEANS. Knowledge of CARRIBEAN ISLANDS.
HAPPIER to see YOU present MR. BURTON from USA resident JAMAICAN of IGBO HERITAGE.
Up YOU with this PATRIOTIC WORK to bring BLACKS worldwide to NIGERIA & AFRICA
Very interesting inview.
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
According to late bobby Marley any where you see black colour, know that is your brother and sister
Wow, so glad to finally find you Zaky, I've been wondering where you are
Why are some people bringing tribalism here ...We should identify ourselves as Africanas .....not as igbo or Yoruba etc ... Africans Unite
Igbo identity existed before "African"
U are the one being tribalistic, all blacks in other continents are Africans and each of them have fore fathers who came from different tribes in Africa and anyone if them can trace back to their tribe . They already know they are Africans.
Love who you are. Africa has a lot of tribes and that is who we are, but, that doesn’t mean we are not brothers and sisters because we know we are
I disagree we should identify ourselves as our tribes from Nigeria not Africa
There is beauty in diversity even among people of the same race. To understand and appreciate this means getting lessons from an early age about what makes you special. How ever you identify, be proud of that.
