Maurice is Well educated, i am a Cameroonian living in the UK, i experienced that hatred with my brothers Jamaicans till the last 3 to 4 years the mentality has changed for the better. I am from the Bamileke TRIBE in West Cameroon. Everything was about Kingdoms not Countries, and after the WORLD WAR 1 they divided the continent as they wanted and in that process divided Families and Kingdom. So i am Planning to Return to Cameroon after 17 years living in the UK to help my brothers from the Caribbean , USA, and Europe that want to Transition to CAMEROON
I am not offended. I know the truth about my history. I love my Ppl from the motherland. I can't wait to save money to come home. It's more of us that wanna come home and understand the truth, then the ignorance of some that are brainwashed.
So well said, Gina. U are so welcome home. The more the merrier...power in numbers,, now when we are all together, let's see what they can do to destroy or separate us again. Just let them try! Can u imagine? Now that our generation knows better?
I had the pleasure of meeting Morris, our tour guide with Ladies and Luggage just a couple of days ago. He has such a wealth of knowledge. I’m glad we were able to glean so much history and culture from him.
My thoughts are exact, but i understand the mistrust of the system. As an African American, I have family and friends that just dont trust that there info is not going to be used later as a wepon. However, we do paternity test all the time to establish who a childs parent is. I just dont see the difference. For those who care, I feel it would be amazing to find our family on the continent .
@@laticiacook883the government doesn't need your dna to use as a weapon. They have dozens of other strategic ways to kill, exploit, control etc. without dna. Overall, if a person has been to jail, prison, the hospital etc., then they already have your dna. Our dna is everywhere and probably is being collected from the last place we were as we speak
I appreciate the elder for taking his time to educate us on our history. I can see the disappointment in his face when you revealed the African Ancestry result. I question the sample sizes that African Ancestry is working with. Historically, DNA companies haven’t done the best when it comes to the categorizing of the ethnic groups in Ghana. They have been known to lump us all under “Ivory coast/Ghana or “Akan”. They simply need to do better when it comes to Ghana because we have over 100 tribes and ethnic groups. Ghana is a melting pot.
That is so true, but it's a start. As a trained social reasearcher, I understand results change or be skewed due to sample size. However, after comparing both companies, the results were similar and I found my paternal relatives. Regardless, as an African American ADOS....It brings truth to Mr. Nkrumah quote, "Im not African due to being born there, but because it was born in me!"
This will change the more that test in that region. We need more of them to test to better refine our connections. It's going to take these companies testing to work together to get better results. I've tested on Ancestry and 23andme. Have been researching for 15+ years. My next will be the African Ancestry test.
@@stephaniejames4940 right! the major ethnic group that was on the so-called “Slave Coast”(Eastern part of modern Ghana to Lagos in modern Nigeria) was the Eʋe(Ewe). Whydah and Allada were their kingdoms until they were invaded by Dahomey in 1724. They were the main target of the slave raids in West Africa before other ethnic groups also began being attacked. Their people were taken to the Americas in the millions. Unfortunately DNA companies categorize them under either “Benin-Togo”🤦🏾♀️ or “Yoruba” or even “Ivory Coast-Ghana/Akan”🤦🏾♀️. They make no mention of the people’s tribal or ethnic name. What a huge blunder! So you have people going back to their ancestor’s lands (captors’ lands) to get assigned a name (naming ceremony) and be welcomed “home”. This was the case for some people from Barbados 🇧🇧 who took the remains of some of their ancestors to the Asante kingdom to be buried there 🤦🏾♀️. So sad! The famous kingdoms in West Africa like the Asante, Dahomey and Oyo, were the majority slave-trading kingdoms but they were not the origins of the captives of slavery. The ethnic groups that you tend not to hear much about are the ones that were raided and captured.

45:45 It's so beautiful hearing him say that AA are powerful in our resilience, because it is like a mirror, because that's exactly how I see Africans on the continent. This made me so happy. 😥
King Agokoli who treated his people with cruelty. They had to escape from him and due to fear, they walked backwards instead of forward to escape being spied on or followed by Agokoli's soldiers.
This was so informative and thought provoking. It shook me when Morris said his family migrated to escape the same evil that my ancestors could not escape. As African Americans we can be so arrogant in our ignorance, as if our pain was the only pain that mattered. Morris' ancestors were running from what my ancestors were running from. We just got caught.
Comlpeted 23 and me and African Ancestry. Amazing results, not only linked me to a brother i never knew in the states, but confirmed my ancestry to both West, Central, and East Africa (Somalia and Madagascar). Interesting.
I respect you trying to engage the people who carry some of these grudges and beliefs which are based in ignorance. Honestly I get very frustrated and have stopped trying. This is a brilliant series and I'll look for more of these ancestry test videos after this
Jay please pleaseplease, add Suriname to your travels! U will have your ultmate shock, pertaining to this your ancestral quest! Amazing! Uuuu, U went to Brazil, hmmm, now its time to go to Suriname, and really educate the masses!
Thank you both for this Master Class! I harbored layers of bitterness from American civil unrest before coming to Ghana 11/2022. Walking the path to Slave River, we were told it was Holy Ground. The whole tour was an opportunity for healing. During tours, Morris gives profound insight and gentle support. I cherish each person who greeted me with "Welcome Home."
@@blknavy_vet6097 Good, I promise u, u will be changed forever. that's the best weather time too. The heat is way down, so the touring is more pleasant.
Interesting convo. Jay and Morris props for your WORK. Africa is there for those whose souls beckons them. It's important to meet people where they are. As a Ghanaian living in America I KNOW.The difference it makes to a Black person in a place surrounded by like hued people.. You are forever changed..There is a shift going on with the African narrative. Be part of it, or look from the outside in. Either way that train is moving.
Jay my brother. Thanks for taking the time to broaden your knowledge and putting yourself out there to challenge others to do the same. We have to do our very best to get you on a bigger platform. Your UA-cam channel doesn’t do you justice. For all those lost brothers and sisters in the diaspora, and for those on the African continent, your sacrifices will endure through time and memoriam. Great content! We are watching, and we are grateful. We will ideate and connect with you somehow. Stay blessed.

Thanks for this info Jay!! Can you please load the brother's DNA into GedMatch and run MDLP World Africa-22? I am curious to see Lemba matches. We are the same people even in different locations. Thanks
Ooooh Jay , that shirt! U just gave goosebumped me with the white patched part of it becos my mom had that cloth! U wear these shirts so well, please keep it up!
Les girl, nooooiiicee indeed!! Brother wears those shirts so well. This one gave me goosebumps and a little teary with memories, becos mommy had the white patches in it. I'm Ghanaian born in Labadi and raised in Labone suburbs. Have seen that black and white cloth my whole life. Mm!!
I hope all this information is being documented, saved, and written in book format. This is important and should be treasured and taught. Collaboration is crucial, because the histories are so large. Thanks for sharing
Jay and Morris ! Thanks this video has me in tears because I am searching and would love to come home there is so much confusion of wether we as African American belongs to Africa or not! It really feels good to here Morris as an African say “ when he see his sisters and brothers from the diaspora come home he feels so happy”
Come back home please. It hurts us to see what's the pale skinned folks do to our brothers and sisters in the diaspora. If you are black, you are from Africa. Point. Blank. Serious!
Thank you Jay and Morris for this very important discussion. We really owe it to ourselves to understand our ancestry. I am African living in Canada and was hurt to the core when a Jamaican brother told me how we sold them for apples. This video needs to go viral.
Me: Matriclan = Toureg of Mali. Patriclan = Balanta of Guinea-Bissau 😁😁😁😁😁 I went to Ethiopia earlier this year and saw their culture, their history, and their traditions. It was truly beautiful and left me with the deep feeling of wanting to know where I am from. I got back to the states and did almost all the popular ancestral DNA tests. I did 23&Me, MyHeritageDNA, LivingDNA, DNA Portal, GEDMatch, AncestryDNA, and last but not least, AfricanAncestryDNA. I will visit both countries (Mali and Guinea-Bissau) as well as other African countries in the next two years.
Wow: so the key is build your ancestry tree + connect with your kinfolk on ancestry dna to gather ancestry history + and be bold enough to take that AfricanAncestryDNA (Patri or Matri) and put everything you want on hold. I know you want to be Israel, or Native American. That one line may come back other than what you hope it would be. I took all the Autosomal I found out for geni research for records and building your ancestry tree and connection is Ancestry DNA. To Trace your Patr or Matri (African Ancestry or FtDNA) one focus on African and the other European Jewish and academic research papers use Ftdna.
All history from Africa 🌍 before some people came to our land and divided us and called some part Africa and Middle East and how can you call Egypt 🇪🇬 Africa and Israel 🇮🇱 Middle East..?
I used to think that way, wondering why our African ancestors didn’t come get us from America. I didn’t think about the military, I thought they just didn’t want to fight for us 😢

The Akan paternal line is interesting. He is definitely Ewe (86 percent) so the Akan paternity raises two questions. Either his dad is an Akan or African Ancestry has some Ewes classified as Akans. Ewe DNA is likely to pop up as Togo/Benin and Akan DNA will match Ghana/Ivory Coast.
Ewes migrated from Oyo Benin not notsie, Notsie was a place they seek refuge in Togo under the wicked king Agorkoli, I am an Ewe from the central part and has studied Ewe as course, I have travelled to Notsie in 2013 and the place still exist for historical purposes.
Most of the Haitians ,from Brazil Cuba, domican Republic, Puerto Ricans, Colombians New Orleans, Alabama Mississippi are all from this area's from Benin Togo and western togoland now in ghana
The Ewes (the Anlos) help the Ashantis against the British. So while they were running errands for their kings, them men were mingling with them ladies, thus Akan DNA.
Hi Jay, I am a match to Mr Morris Azzah - match name D. Kotogbor thru my mom. Interesting that he has so few relatives matching on Ancestrydna in-comparison to African-Americans. For example, I have over 15,000 DNA matches on Ancestrydna. Please tell him his ATL relative says hello. Thank you and I loved this video. Great Content!

Can you bring some AncestryDNA tests to the Bissa ethnic group in Burkina Faso? I found out through African ancestry patriclan test that I come from the Bissa people in Burkina Faso. Their population is the biggest in Ghana though. I’ve been wanting to connect with my Bissa cousins so bad to know more of the history and our appellation family names
Jay, your point is clear- we all have a lot to learn about each other. Africans on the continent know almost zilch about the diaspora and the Diaspora have a lot to learn about Africa.
Don’t forget there was black peoples in Spain and Portugal who were kicked out and ended in slavery from the papal bull nicholas the 5th … who was converting Jews to Christianity.
This video is fascinating. When viewing my family history as it has been recorded, I've come to realize that all the nations of the earth have more in common with each other, than the differences we've been educated to believe we have. Genealogy when viewed properly destroys racism, as we learn that we have ancestors from everywhere. I have yet to do a DNA test though.
Hi Jay thanks for this video, its very educating. I never heard even from my teachers that African countries never existed before 1885. Slavery happened because of corrupt and gready leaders
Powerful and necessary discussion! However, it is difficult to wake up or educate others if your message is steeped in judgment. I cringe at the delivery. It lands like it is diminishing those black Americans who are still lost but seeking. We, black Americans, have a tendency to try to teach or correct each other by embarrassing one another by highlighting one’s shortcomings.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and opinion. You are correct. It is steeped in judgment of misinformation and disinformation (which is a response to those who judged harshly when it was nicely delivered the first few times we discussed this topic). The delivery is not directed at those lost and seeking but to those who are lost, unteachable and trying to take others down with them. There is a whole group of people who are quite judgmental about those who are lost and seeking. They tend to mock people who are interested in discovering their African roots with this indigenous-only foolishness among other things. Sometimes an equally firm delivery and response is required once someone shows they have no real interest in hearing facts about a topic. At other times, a more gentle approach is warranted. In this case, the level of ignorance and willful insanity needs to be addressed for what it is so that even more people don’t get caught up into the same madness and start peddling the nonsense to even more people. If someone walked away from my discussion with Morris embarrassed, they might want to do a bit more self examination. It was a very honest and deliberate discussion. Only certain mindsets were discussed. Additionally, no matter how the information is shared someone may perceive it as offensive. We can’t control the subjective interpretations of individuals. At that point will become people pleasers and walking around on eggshells.
Proof that African ancestry put in much work to get the detailed results that we need!!! Test a African on the continent of Africa and the results came back to where he said he was from on the African continent!! Amazing!!
Much of Morris’s bloodline or DNA is coming from the people of Benin and Togo because many of the people who carry the same DNA as Morris live in Benin and Togo area.
I'm so proud of you my Son.
I began my journey across Africa in 2009 ... a two year journey.

A lot of them do, I have so many igbo matches

Thank you he is from slave cost 89 % but Akan are not from that part the tribes and there living expansion is importe inter maried tell ivory cost.
That's also my concern. They tend to ignore minor tribes and focus only on dominant tribes.

So why do Africans bleach their skin

The Ewes (the Anlos) help the Ashantis against the British. So while they were running errands for their kings, them men were mingling with them ladies, thus Akan DNA.
No he was 89% benin Togo so that is not Akan is something roung if is the three contre 😅
Thank you for this pure knowledge which benefits me and others.
Uuuuu, Jay is mad at us now, he said we up some thief's "butt crack"....Lol
I TOLD PEOPLE THIS IS REAL
Chances are black american ancestors also sold slaves. They were just unlucky and got caught and shipped.
I AM LIGHT AND TRUTH AND LOVE AND PEACE AND JOY AND STRENGTH AND INTELLIGENCE AND SUPREME PROTECTION AND LIFE AND LIGHT BEINGS....
Wow that's what my DNA results were.nigaria , benin, Togo he resemble my grand dad on my dad's side...and my mom's had Cameron and others
Hi Jay, I am a match to Mr Morris Azzah - match name D. Kotogbor thru my mom. Interesting that he has so few relatives matching on Ancestrydna in-comparison to African-Americans. For example, I have over 15,000 DNA matches on Ancestrydna. Please tell him his ATL relative says hello. Thank you and I loved this video. Great Content!
Wow! I will share with him now. Are you from Ghana or the US?
@@jaycameronofficial my moms relatives are from Virginia and Maryland.
African ancestry is powerful. My black butt have all type of " European dna" in me.😢
Thank you for breaking down the difference between the test types! Too many people take the tests not understanding what they are testing!
TIME FOR AFRICAN LEADERS TO EDUCATE THE YOUNG AFRICANS TO STOP DEPENDING ON CHINA AN EUROPE. TIME FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS TO INVEST IN AFRICA. AFRICA HAS BEEN AROUND FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS BEFORE EUROPE AND ROME EXISTED. AFRICA WANTS AFRICAN AMERICANS TO BUILD AND INVEST AND HELP AFRICA GROW TECHNOLOGICALLY. LOOK AT CHINA, HOW CHINA EMBRACES THEIR PEOPLE.
Deeply proufound episode. Jay Cameron has come a long way, so proud and touched by this episode.
Thank you for sharing this Jay, I was curious on how true it is.🙏🏽
Just a correction Notse is situated in Togo. The King was called Agorkoli.
God bless you and your work
This is an AMAZING video! However, I must know where you got your shirt from Jay!!!
Well done brother
Can you bring some AncestryDNA tests to the Bissa ethnic group in Burkina Faso? I found out through African ancestry patriclan test that I come from the Bissa people in Burkina Faso. Their population is the biggest in Ghana though. I’ve been wanting to connect with my Bissa cousins so bad to know more of the history and our appellation family names
Hello Morris your sister from Miami Florida...😮
Jay, your point is clear- we all have a lot to learn about each other. Africans on the continent know almost zilch about the diaspora and the Diaspora have a lot to learn about Africa.
What you were saying is so true we should look into it
Don’t forget there was black peoples in Spain and Portugal who were kicked out and ended in slavery from the papal bull nicholas the 5th … who was converting Jews to Christianity.
I agree with Jay and Morris.
Thanks for ironing out the confusion between Africans and African Americans
This video is fascinating. When viewing my family history as it has been recorded, I've come to realize that all the nations of the earth have more in common with each other, than the differences we've been educated to believe we have. Genealogy when viewed properly destroys racism, as we learn that we have ancestors from everywhere. I have yet to do a DNA test though.
I am mixed with almost all of Africa, literally ❤️💛💚✊🏾🖤 but mostly Igbo
Hi Jay thanks for this video, its very educating. I never heard even from my teachers that African countries never existed before 1885. Slavery happened because of corrupt and gready leaders
Oooh Jay, u really told them today!!
I AM LIGHT...I AM...I AM...
Jay i love your Kitenge shirt. Those colours blend with you
Interesting conversation
Jay you need to see the elders to give you free land so you can build a school to educate people on this kinds of history
Thanks for sharing
This is what should be taught across continental Afrika in all schools.
How does one get DNA test with you. I'm here I Rwanda, planning to get my 10 yr visa or residency.
Powerful and necessary discussion!
However, it is difficult to wake up or educate others if your message is steeped in judgment. I cringe at the delivery. It lands like it is diminishing those black Americans who are still lost but seeking. We, black Americans, have a tendency to try to teach or correct each other by embarrassing one another by highlighting one’s shortcomings.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and opinion. You are correct. It is steeped in judgment of misinformation and disinformation (which is a response to those who judged harshly when it was nicely delivered the first few times we discussed this topic). The delivery is not directed at those lost and seeking but to those who are lost, unteachable and trying to take others down with them. There is a whole group of people who are quite judgmental about those who are lost and seeking. They tend to mock people who are interested in discovering their African roots with this indigenous-only foolishness among other things. Sometimes an equally firm delivery and response is required once someone shows they have no real interest in hearing facts about a topic. At other times, a more gentle approach is warranted. In this case, the level of ignorance and willful insanity needs to be addressed for what it is so that even more people don’t get caught up into the same madness and start peddling the nonsense to even more people.
If someone walked away from my discussion with Morris embarrassed, they might want to do a bit more self examination. It was a very honest and deliberate discussion. Only certain mindsets were discussed. Additionally, no matter how the information is shared someone may perceive it as offensive. We can’t control the subjective interpretations of individuals. At that point will become people pleasers and walking around on eggshells.
I’m glad I found this video
Look at Jay all Michael Jackson- ing at the end. Haha Look at the man in the mirror. Lol. Thanks forthe education,bro!
AMERICA IS A BUSINESS that is what i have been trying to tell people
Proof that African ancestry put in much work to get the detailed results that we need!!! Test a African on the continent of Africa and the results came back to where he said he was from on the African continent!! Amazing!!
Interesting 🎉
How do we tell if we are related if the other race of people are using African names, or they change our names to European names?
Much of Morris’s bloodline or DNA is coming from the people of Benin and Togo because many of the people who carry the same DNA as Morris live in Benin and Togo area.
I AM THAT I AM
You can look at Morris and see Hebrew identity also.
What Hebrew? Ewe are not Hebrews if that is what you are seeking look elsewhere.
They are who they a re.
How people speak with English are different very much different wherever they come from

Love you bro
I AM THAT I AM HAS SPOKEN
The DNA have big problem because 89% Benin Togo is not Akan 😂
There were two completely different dna tests as was explained. So no problems. Just two different tests looking for two different t things.
