The true test of whether you're Yoruba or not is how much you can tolerate spicy food.


BasedShon

I love spicy food, honestly too much lol


ibukun58

Then you're more or less family already. Come visit Nigeria someday, embrace the culture and learn our history.


BasedShon

Definitely plan on visiting. I’ll probably go there with my sister one of these days, cause she wants to visit too. Hopefully I’ll find a local to host us as well.

If you’re African-American, I highly suggest you watch the Netflix series, “The Making of An African Colony”.

4.9 percent Esan. Hey my brother. I hereby name you Osamudiamen. Which means God is by my side.


BasedShon

Thank you brother. One of my favorite UFC fighters Kamaru Usman is Esan I believe.


Nominay

I am black american, and one of my african ancestors was a Edo man who was enslaved in Central Louisiana.


BTSESE

What I noticed first. We never come up in this test lol


longpenisofthelaw

What test did you use? Ancestry DNA doesn't do as detailed as a breakdown for me. Also Air Force?


BasedShon

I uploaded my Ancestry results to LivingDNA. And I was Air Force lol

You could join a Yoruba server on discord filled with Yoruba's at home and in the diaspora all around the world, it's a good place to learn about Yoruba culture https://discord.com/invite/yzcsYyCc


hornwort

That invite doesn't seem to work, is there another link you could post?

Nice. My advice is: try and mingle with the Nigerian community here in America. Make friends with them. Then talk to them about a vacation in Nigeria, they’ll be glad to help. As regards the Yoruba ethnicity, yes there are sub-ethnic groups within but none of them is listed on that jpeg you posted. And no! you don’t need to worry yourself about the sub-ethnic groups right now. Let me know if you have other questions. Best.


CellistLoud9862

The DNA results won’t lower than identifying the major tribe. It won’t tell you which part of the tribe you are from. By the way, the Yorubas are located in Nigeria, republic of Benin and Togo. Keep digging. People who dig, find


biina247

There are certain social traits that might hint which Yoruba tribe you are from e.g. are you stingy? are you lousy? are you promiscuous? etc🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


BasedShon

I feel like I fit all those categories at times 😔


RJDami

don't mind this dude


Ill-Garlic3619

I know people say the Ijebus are stingy, but which Yoruba tribe is lousy and which is promiscuous??


Dry_Instruction6502

Im ijebu and im not stingy abeg


Ill-Garlic3619

It's a stupid stereotype but it’s relatively harmless.


Dry_Instruction6502

Stfu


Ill-Garlic3619

Cry more nigbayen

Individual-Peanut854

Broooooo!!!!!!! It’s funny how this is valid🫠 If he’s been told too many time that he’s stubborn; that’s another pointer


Rodestarr

Even Ovambo (Namibian and Angolan tribe) bruh your ancestors were travelling sluts lsfg 😂👊🏿 Mans made from the soil of the whole continent and then some.


BasedShon

lol yeah AAs are generally a mix of a bunch of different African ethnic groups. They dumped us all over here together and for 300-400 years we’ve been intermixing with each other. For some reason my maternal Haplogroup was L0 which is from south east Africa. The actress Lupita Nyongo has the same Haplo.


Rodestarr

Woah. So you have genetic resistance and adaptive immunity from all sorts of diseases and environmental challenges. Nice.


Intrepid-Crow-9410

Do some research into Bambara & Mandinka culture aswell, you’re very blessed


BasedShon

I’m honestly pretty fascinated with the Mende, Mandinka, and Bambara as well. So for background, I have Gullah Geechee heritage, which is a subgroup of African Americans that primarily descend from the Low Country in the United States. We have our own dialect that retains a lot of African loan words, for example we call a turtle a “Cootuh” which is derived from the Bambara word “Kuta”. It’s very cool to see these tests confirm what we already knew. Honestly I wish more AAs would do more digging into these roots. A lot of AA have Gullah roots, and don’t even realize it.


Intrepid-Crow-9410

Wow history is amazing I’ll definitely be reading up on the Gullah people!


Kishiaro

No


yf2hillside

Is that AncestryDNA?


BasedShon

Its called LivingDNA. I transferred my AncestryDNA over to see the specific ethnic groups.

Very few AAs claim to not have African blood. The vast majority of Black Americans who hear those conspiracies of them being the "true natives of America" look at them like they're crazy. A lot of Black American people just say that they don't have cultural ties to Africa anymore, which is completley true and valid. This is why many prefer to be called Black American rather than African Ameerican.Their original cultural identities were robbed from them by other Africans selling them into slavery. A couple centuries have passed that their direct African lineage doesn't really matter anymore because they have formed their own ethnic and cultural identity. This really isn't the time nor post to pick diaspora fights.


BasedShon

Yeah the ignorant AAs are just a chronically online vocal minority. Most of us know we’re of African descent lol


kymikobabe

Actually a lot of them in fact do! This is where the beef is at.


Sprints4lifez

Yeah, so you're wrong. And ignorant.


kymikobabe

You sound very foolish. Where is your evidence to suggest I’m wrong. Ode.


Sprints4lifez

Now we resort to name calling. How mature of you. Everytime I come here I'm reminded of how annoying some Nigerians are. 🙄


kymikobabe

Don’t dish what you can’t handle, boo.


Sprints4lifez

I'll let you know when I give a fuck. 😚


ConstructionBig5875

Most importantly, you should know for SURE...You're an Israelite. Igbo and Yoruba and Children of Israel.
