On my mother's side we are creole.

My Mom would always get told that she looked like Sade when I was younger... She is very light and has her features.

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.

Hi beautiful

Your checks and lips BTW, you said you like spicy food.

You're probably 80 - 90% Yoruba

I think the OP is too exotic to resemble Yoruba, you clearly see in her admixture. Having been around Yoruba people she would not be able to pass completely.

I thought some of these ancestry tests are tribe-specific?

You're not going to get any reliable answer just by asking people to look at your facial features. Don't mind what anyone has been telling you. You can have that face and come from anywhere in Nigeria.

80 - 90% Yoruba? Lmao. She probably isn't even 90% Sub-Saharan African.

She said her DNA test is 49% Nigerian

Sammy07:

I know. I read the post.

And you got 80 - 90% Yoruba from that?

Who doesn't know that Yorubas like spicy food..
Her facial looks self...and her lips

Igbos/Edo/Esan & others are more lighter than the OP.. And their facial looks is different from the OP...

She probably has a huge or curve hip

Not quite sure what is the stereotype and this belief that Yoruba women have huge or curve hips. There are many Yoruba women that do not have huge or curve hips. I have equally seen many Igbo women with huge or curve hips, so it is not a tribal thing.
I would actually say that most yoruba women do not have huge or curve hips.

That may be true about there being Igbos/Edo/Esan individuals that are lighter than the OP but they do not form the majority but the minority. Most Igbos / Edo / Esan have beautiful dark chocolate brown skin colour. I actually question the purity of the light skin Igbos / Edo / Esan individuals I would not be surprised to find out they have some mixture

Besides it doesn't make much sense for light skin to exist in an African climate that is hot and humid

Some Esans claim to have Portuguese ancestry.

you are right...it's very very common to see natury light skinned people in Esan...infact the traditional ruler of my place has a Portuguese ancestry...the ratio of black to fair people in Esan communities I know would be 5:3

I thought we had stopped speculating that light-skinned Igbos necessarily have admixture.

There have been light-skinned Igbo girls who took genetic tests and came up with 0% non-African ancestry and 99.9% Sub-Saharan ancestry.

Yup, are you from Ewohimi? Because the Onojie of Ewohimi is a very fair skinned man.

I am sorry, not that I am disagreeing with you but I am highly sceptical of these genetic tests, I find them dubious, if I may ask you if light skin Igbos have no admixture, then why do dark skin Igbos exist?

No....but the onojie of my place is also a very fair skinned man from his own father to his own son the crown prince...... and I'm from uromi

This one is a Yoruba woman. I don't need to check no DNA. I am willing to bet that she's got a great yanch too - typical Yoruba yanch

This is like asking: If red-haired Scots are not an admixture, then why do black-haired Scots exist?

Skin colour variation can exist (and does exist) in African populations without necessary genetic input from Eurasia, same way hair colour and eye colour variation exists all over northern Europe.

Chidorx60:

Oh yes, Uromi in particular has a deep history with the Portuguese. In fact, the first Onojie of Uromi, Ijesan was a half-caste.

Nigerians love to claim, if these were ugly pictures watch them deny you, my dear you could easily be from any of the ethnic groups littered all over Nigeria, I have seen women like you in Igbo, Yoruba, Delta And Edo...

The only way to truly find out is a DNA test..
