Hi Palies,lol. Ok here is the gist. A few of my nigerian friends brought their african american friends to get tested to find out where they are from. So my five nigerian friends and 5 african Amerians and a jamaican  did the dna test.
 Now my five nigerian friends said they were each 100% igbo, yoruba, edo and hausa, all verified by their parents and languages,etc. So out of the five nigerians 2 were yoruba, one igbo, one edo and one hausa, so when the result came back   last week, the results were as followed..

Igbo before dna=  68% igbo, 32 percent efik after dna
Yoruba 1 before dna=60 percent yoruba, 20 percent fulani, 20 percent igbo
Yoruba 2 before dna= 90 percent igbo, 10 percent efik
edo before=59 percent ishan,21 percent yoruba,20 percent igbo
hausa before=75 percent hausa, 10 percent fulani,15percent yoruba

-------------------------------------------------------
Now this dna test is believed to be very accurate due to the fact that is based on mitochondrial dna, which unlike any other dna is the strongest... So with these results on people who thought they knew what they were by tribe, were wrong, so  it  begs the question whether our tribal identities are just false security, because as we found out a lot of us were not 100 percent what we claim. So  my friend, yoruba 2 went back to his parents with the results, and in the midst discovered that  his mother  and father are not his biological, so after growing up a yoruba boy and now  at 25 years of age finding out that you belong to another tribe, should that change anything?


What do you folks think, because Personally I think over time our tribal identities will start to fade. And also why must we always claim our fathers' tribe and not recognize our mothers' when asked what tribe we come from, after all the mother's dna is the strongest of the two.

Yo, I'm seriously still tripping over yoruba 2. He is 90% igbo but raised as a yoruba!! Nothing is hidden under the sun. That was how he found out the truth about himself Wonderment!  Cheesy This is interesting though..I better go do my own mitochondrial DNA test...brb

I think everybody should be subjected to do this DNA test to determine actually where come from and where we belong before we marry our own brother or sister. This is an eye opener, i am going to do my own right now.
