What the fúck? I'm confused

I took a DNA test at AncestryDNA and as I expected it says that I am 100% west African.

But I bought another kit from 23andme so I can find out my brother's Y-DNA. While I was waiting for my Brother's test results to come in, I decided to upload my AncestryDNA results to Gedmatch since Gedmatch, AncestryDNA, and 23andme all work with other. So on Gedmatch when one of the first test I took on Gedmatch was the 'Jtest' under the Eurogene project, selecting the chromosome painting process and here are the results.

South-Baltic
East-Euro
North-Central_ Euro
Atlantic
West-Med
AshkeNAZI (giggle)
East-med
West-Asian
Middle eastern
South-Asian
East African
Siberian
West-Africa

Unfortunately, this particular test did not show a percentage, but they had a color code, and the color for west Africa which was light brown, was of course really really dominate.

My second test

This one is under the dodcad project, the process type was 'Admixture proportions (with link to Oracle)'

The calculator model was 'Africa9'

Here are the results (this one shows the percentage)

Europe: 0.49%
SW.Asia: 0.78%
E Africa: 5.61%
S. Africa: 14.26%
Mbuti: 3.86%
West Africa: 69.00%
Biaka: 5.94%
San: 0.06%


Either Gedmatch looks deeper into ancestry more. Or I need to take different types of tests at Ancestry. I took multiple test at Gedmatch because they were free, but I only felt like posting two of the tests. While ancestry I would have to pay more to get those other types of tests.

But seriously what's up with that? My genes are like the fùcking rainbow. But really I'm confused, I thought I was 100% west African Igbo , because both of my parents are Igbo, but I'm not even 100% Igbo it's self, according to ancestry, I'm 50% Nigerian, 24% Cameroon/Congo, 20% Benin/Togo, and 6% Ivory Coast/Ghana.


Also, my Parents were never slaves in America, they came to America by there own free will. They were not here during slavery, they came recently like 20 years, Like 1995, slavery was already dead, so slavery in America could not be the option with this DNA mix up.

So, when people ask me where I'm from do I list all of the countries where my DNA leads to?

Or should I just say Nigeria?

Or should I just switch up, like sometimes I say Nigeria, others times Cameroon, other times Europe, others times Middle East etc.?

And what's funny is that I don't even look mix, all my friends say I look African, that's it.

lol. You from Eden yea!

.

Your dominant gene dictates where you're from. You're an Igbo Nigerian. Embrace it with pride.

gibberish. where do you want to claim now

.

@Op

Find one and stick to it.
No one cares.

Really. No one cares if you tell them you're part philipino - part German. They'll just say oh wow and move on.

All these percentages you quoted..... No comment

.

What exactly is your identity issue? Your both parents are Igbo, you're automatically Igbo. Why the need to go waste money on so-called DNA ancestry testing?

Or were you expecting to be told you're European or what?

You're simply creating the confusion for yourself when you didn't need to do the testing in the first place. DNA testing is not always accurate, especially if they don't have enough samples in their databases to cover an entire region, and among blacks it is meant mostly for those who don't know/who have lost their tribal ethnicity long time ago.

In a DNA testing website I read somewhere online, 64 samples for Igbo were taken from Enugu state alone, up north Igboland, a state that barely experienced the atlantic slave trade, rather from Abia, Imo and Rivers Igbo areas that were directly involved in the slave trade. The Igbo sample for that database isn't representative of the entire Igbo gene pool that seems varied from north to southern Igboland, as it always is in populations.

Is there a broad stroke dna test that can show someone is igbo? Even among igboid groups there are significant variations.
His statement was very confusing to me. Very very

Omfg i hate these things.
There so stupid !
Those people they lie to me and they took my money luckily i found a relative. maybe?
But good luck to u.
To me those teat should b administered by the govt and theyre counterproductive.
Maybe a waste of time unless u do it on yourself.

i wants the test to tell him, he is an hebrew.

Your gibberish what do you mean 'claim' idiot? These are my DNA results, it's not a claim since it's a fact. DNA does not lie. Read a science book.

my question to you now is, do you want to go to east Africa or west Asia to find your roots? or why all the fuse

.

OJODEL10:

Lol. I think the test already told him that he is part Ashnekazi Jewish.

bigfrancis21:

you get the point. One thing is certain is that, most southerners are related from west to east they are hebrews nt jews, jews are converts. But i hate seeing people linking themselves to the jew via DNA , when it is time for the hebrews to go back home God wil have nothing to do DNA TEST results before he wil gather al hebrews back home, please tel my friend.

That reminds me, what state(s) in Igboland are your parents from?

bigfrancis21:

Both are genectically from Anambra state.

Ihuomadinihu:

Lol. You are just Igbo na. What part of Igboland do you come from? Did you folks take the test too?

My younger brother took a DNA test, but his results are coming in, in a couple of weeks. And Anambra state.

Fireflame144000:

Ok. And what type of DNA testing specifically did you do? Y-DNA (tribe specific, paternal ancestry), Mt-DNA testing (tribe specific, maternal ancestry) or the autosomal testing (non-tribal specific, but the one that observes your entire genetic markers and tries to pin it to certain areas in the world)?

Autosomal testing so it shows no Haplogroup which is why my brother is taking a DNA test so we can get the Haplogroups.

Also I don't know if this is useful but the test connected me to other tribes other then Igbo here's the list: Bambaran, Yoruba, Hausa, dogon,bamoun,brong,luhya,kaba,fang, alur, and Kongo. There are a few others but I forgot them.

And they also connected me to the Lemba people.

Lolll. Do you believe the test now?

I would suggest you try other well-known DNA testing ancestry companies such as africanancestry.com.

I'm already got Another company, and yes it's pretty accurate besidea the Lemba thing is at a low percentage, and I'm 80% west African, since the west African gene is dominate then I said is pretty accurate. Also, my mother confirms what the test says, she knows her father is part middle eastern (she has her own family tree back at her home that she can trace to at least one middle eastern ancestor) so to say my families's ancestors did not pick up other genes while traveling from the Middle East all the way to west Africa is pretty inaccurate.

How is your mother's father part middle eastern?
