Diaspora Here Wonder What Tribes Do I Resemble. by TheKongoEmpire(m): 3:05pm On Jul 23, 2020 |
Good day everyone. I've been in Ghana since the 27th of February and am currently residing in Kumasi. Regardless of my attire, I have noticed that most people think that I am Nigerian or even rarely from Cameroon. for the very few who do think I am a Ghanaian they think I'm from the Dagomba tribe. Although obviously we in the diaspora have Nigerian ancestry, as some may know I am a haitian-american. That being said I would like to know directly from Nigerians what ethnic group or region some might presume about me. Thank you for your time.

Well, you definitely look Nigerian from a Ghanaian perspective. Had you said you Ghanaian then you will definitely be from the North as someone mentioned Dagomba (which is quite close in resemblance of you looks) I do not see the Cameroonian in you in a shape or form. TheKongoEmpire: |

Cameroonian surely, or Nigerian from cross River axis. 3 Likes |

TheKongoEmpire:Being someone who's seen a lot of different African ethnicities, I'll say you definitely look Hausa. However, only minute Hausas suffered the transalantic slave trade hence I'll go for Cameroon specifically the South Western part that shares boundary with the Cross rivers part of Nigeria. Your hairline, nose and somewhat of a round face is common from the axis. You can Google the pix of Tijani Babangida- the former super eagles forward winger to compare your resemblance. You don't have the common Congo or Southern Bantu looks. I'm certain of this. 1 Like |

You actually look like people from the region that gave you 48% of your genes. You sure you're African-American? Most times when African Americans visit the continent, they stand out phenotypically from Africans no matter what they wear, but you can dissolve in a crowd of Africans and no one will give you a second glance. EDIT: Oh, you said Haitian American. My bad. 1 Like |

Yujin:forgive me if I come off as lazy but could clarify the Cross Rivers axis for me , please? What ethnic groups are there? |

TheKongoEmpire:The Easternmost part of southern Nigeria that shares boundary with Cameroon is generally referred to as the Cross River region. This is where I was talking about. 1 Like |

babasolution:About that. Most Nigerians in Ghana think that are Nigerian, especially the ashawos. Most of them will ignore me regardless of how much money I have in my pocket. Evidently my look is different enough from the local Ashanti look where they circumvent me all together. Are could go to a bar where they are for the whole night and not have one woman come to me. It doesn't matter if I got a fresh cut from The Barber wearing brand new clothes. As soon as they see me they look the other way. I did not understand especially when I was in Accra but I have to be in Kumasi for some time and having Nigerians come up to me and having some ghanaians here ask me if I am Igbo, it finally hit me. When I ask the ashawo why they do not speak to me they told me that they thought I was a Nigerian specifically Igbo. apparently Nigeria men are criminals even with the hookers and Igbo men are nasty and do too much sexually. As a matter of fact, a couple times on occasion, I've had the ashawos come to me and saying or speak to me in Igbo. I rarely tell people here I'm an American so I just say Benin due to cultural and ancestral ties.
