Hello I received my dna results and they say that I am 49 percent Nigerian. I was hoping that someone would let me know which tribe my features resemble. It would be a great help in my search of me finding my roots.

Dont be offended. The above on a lighter note.
The thick lips you have makes me surmise you are Yoruba. Just the "Ajebo" type

I'm not sure if I'm replying correctly, this is my first time using this forum but, No offense taken at all

I'll go with Yoruba, but to further confirm this you must know Yorubas like spicy food, and generally have curvy hips.. but facially I see a Yoruba in you 100% , Ondo state or Ekiti to be precise

Edo..







Next !

You look like someone from Thailand

I actually love spicy food! I have to have some kind of spice on everything no matter what it is

I have an hourglass shape.

without any doubt in my mind I say "kaabọ omoluabi, kaabọ omo odua" to you, as a Yoruba woman intelligence, calmness and homeliness is your strength ... Madam Folorunsho Alakija is a Yoruba woman just like you, fair skinned and lovely mother and she is the richest black woman in the world.. success is in our DNA

Fulani woman

Well... It did say that I was 1 percent Chinese/Vietnamese so maybe that's where you see the Thai features lol...

Wow Madam Folorunsho Alakija sounds like an amazing woman! And the traits that you mention that a Yoruba woman should have are what I strive to be, daily.

Again, thank you guys so much for taking time to reply

u resemble Australian aborigine when bleach

OP Just out of curiosity how much european dna do you have?

Usually black americans have significant european ancestry between 15 - 30 %

I have 17 percent French, 1 percent Irish and 4 percent Spain/Portugal

If your photos weren't so heavily filtered, I'd have been of service.

@ Adeba01. You are correct sir. The reason black Americans have a significant amount of European ancestry is because of the excessive rape perpetrated by White slave masters on African female slaves during the slave trade era.

My pictures are not heavily filtered... Relax the first three have filters just for artistic purpose, I don't alter my face at all...but the last one is taken with my phone that has an excellent camera in front of my window that has an iridescent window film on it that is reflecting onto me...

if thats ur natural hair...you might be fulani

Yes... This is my hair

Thanks for your input

49% Nigerian is a solid composition for someone far removed from Africa for hundreds of years despite the several mixing going on.

From your looks, definitely not Igbo. More like Yoruba or middle belt (but the middle belt region had very few slaves sold). Mostly Igbo and Yoruba were sold to the Americas, followed by Ibibio, Efik etc.

Yoruba

Yoruba. You look like a Sade or Folake

You definitely look Yoruba.

When I told my dad I was 49 percent Nigerian, he says that he was told that our ancestors were from there but that's all he knew.
