Thanks for sharing!! I thought that you were going to have Asian ancestry as well 🤷🏾♀️. However there are people groups in Africa that have smaller eye shapes as well, so don’t be surprised that your “Asian” features are actually from your African genes ☺️. I’m Jamaican as well, and I’m 45% Nigerian 🇳🇬 according to ancestry 😀
She might have meant South Asian (India). Since a lot of Indian people were brought to Jamaica as indentured slaves almost two hundred years ago, the majority of Black Jamaicans have recent Indian ancestry. I was actually surprised that she doesn't.
Wooow, lovely mix. My family are Chinese Jamaican and Scottish etc. I also got Norway aswell and I am 32% Nigerian. I was very happy about that and also Benin and Togo. Pretty much similar results, apart from Asia didn't show up on yours. I thought you looked abit Asian aswell. And Jamaica has alot of mixture! I love that you got indignious American etc. Thanks for the video. Your so beautiful!!!
You are welcome to your motherland, Nigeria my beautiful sister. I am Nigerian based here in Uk 🇬🇧, and I am truly excited for you too. Nigeria is a great country and I am glad you’re part of it. Much love ❤️ from me your Nigerian brother, and I also subscribed to your channel.
They are less Jamaican people with Ghanaian ancestry and more people in Jamaica with Nigerian actress cuz I did mind and I am full-blown 90% Nigerian so that means both my mom and my dad got Nigerian ancestry
@@norahelaine6041 why are you surprised? Remember when Americans were obsessed with Egypt? When they moved on to Shaka Zulu and South Africa then now finally Ghana. For Jamaica they were obsessed with Haile selasse and Ethiopia now Ghana so it’s normal. But they don’t realize 41 to 45% if ALL slaves taken during the transatlantic slave period came from what is now known as Nigeria. Only about 2 in 10 came from Ghana for comparison for Nigeria that figure would be closer to 1 in 2
@@Biobele I’m not surprised. They like to mention how our dialect is made up of mostly Ghanaian words from the Akan tribe. Yes, we do have many Ghanaian words but also words from various Nigerian languages as well. Our dialect is a word salad of several peoples including the various Europeans who colonized the island at some point in our wild history. Finally, we now have Jamaican patois as it exists today and that is really unique and something totally different from all peoples across the globe, except for some of our fellow Caribbean people (Antigua, St. Vincent, etc sound very similar to Jamaicans). Jamaican dialect has morphed into its very own language. No Jamaican who has NOT studied any African language will have understanding, not a single one. We cannot understand any language out of any part of Africa. Not a single one. Just to note, Jamaicans never claimed to be Ethiopian. That was never a debate at any point in our history. The only linkage to Ethiopia is of course, Haile Selassie and this is for the true Rastafarians. A very small percentage of Jamaicans not even 5%. I believe because of media stereotypes and what we see even on social media how Nigerians were deemed the “bad Africans” that that has a part to play in it. I have a sister who is married to a Ghanaian man and I believe she thinks Ghana is “better” than Nigeria. She’s made several comments to this effect. We also grew up hearing how the worst unruly slaves from Africa where from Nigeria and they were brought to Jamaica. Me personally, I’ve known MANY Nigerians and they are more prevalent than Ghanaian in the United States and in Jamaica. I personally love Nigerians and was ECSTATIC when my niece took a DNA test and it turns out she was 54% Nigerian, 31% Cameroonian and the rest all over. 2% Ghanaian. I wish my DNA test would say 100% Nigerian but overall, I’m glad she was 88% black. You never know when you come from rapist colonies. Eww. 🇯🇲❤️🇳🇬
@@norahelaine6041 it’s good that you are more enlightened on this topic than most people I have come across, and you appreciate or acknowledge your Nigerian roots and your Jamaican citizenship and your family, You are right, it was mainly the Rasta movement about the Haile Selasse thing. But my point like you have rightly noted is it seemed to me like most African Americans Jamaicans or most black people in General are or were ashamed to claim any links to Nigeria. You know how Americans love boxes and their Italian American, Irish American and so on when it came to Nigerian they were ashamed of acknowledging any links but where always loud to proclaim Cherokee Indian American or Native American. So I was like hol’ up you’ll celebrate and make a fuzz about your 1% Native American but not your 60% Nigerian? Because to me it had always been clear from childhood it started when I saw a magazine of some Guyanese women and they looked 100% like my dads elder sister who is 100% Nigerian. That was how I got interested in Guyana and all these ancestry thing. It was also very easy for me to find out that majority of slaves came from what is now modern day Nigeria most books on the topic speak of it, but any where I turned I was getting “we are xyz, we are abc, basically anything but Nigerian” and I always told them but the paper trail, the maps, the ships almost half of them all trace back to Nigeria.” So you can imagine my excitement when at home DNA test kits became a thing and people were now realizing oh so we aren’t this and that but mostly Nigerian. Some even claimed the DNA tests were fake because they suspect Nigerian percentages were too much and they should have had more Native American in them, but I don’t blame them at all, it’s the programming when you were told all your life we are Native Americans but never told about being Nigerian or African and now you get a result saying 0% Native American 98% Nigerian you’ll feel lied to by someone and it’s easier to blame the DNA company than blame grandmama and grand papa. But, Even today Nigeria is Half of west Africa. Nigeria has a population of 200m while, all of west Africa is 400m. So if someone says I am west African, the odds that he or she is Nigerian is 1 in 2. Almost similar odds as if you were a descendant of slave and having a Nigerian ancestor.
@@Mope333 indigenous and eastwrn asians have a similar dna. Thwy were the same people a long time a go. They crossed asia to Alasca trough an ancient path.
The majority of Jamaicans, Afro Caribbeans and African Americans will definitely lean Nigeria. I hear a lot say Ghana. Yes, our people were taken from Ghana as well, but they didn't take any more from Ghana than they did from Benin, Togo, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Angola. At the time Europeans named the African regions according to the resource they came for. Present day Nigeria was called Slave Coast, Ghana was called Gold Coast, there was also Ivory Coast (still retains the name). Nigeria is also the most populous black nation and has about 20% of the population of all Sub-Saharan Africans. So yeah, a whole lot of you have some Nigerian in you and in many cases a lot more Nigerian than any other West African countries. Jamaica, Brazil, Trinidad & Tobago and Cuba were well documented to have had a lot of enslaved people from Nigeria.
The Slave Coast started at the Volta River on the Ghanaian coast and went into Togo, Benin (Dahomey) and Western Nigeria. Nigeria is the most populous African nation today, but that region wasn't always as populated. You can't take realities of today and juxtapose them onto past events. The majority of Jamaicans in particular come from Ghana, and there's evidence of this. Just look at Jamaica's local dialect Patois, most of its non-English words are taken from the Akan language.
@@fundash5124 All Jamaicans with Nigerian ancestry are welcomed in Nigeria. Some are living there already. I went to school with Jamaicans in the diaspora and we all acted as one big family.
I had no idea what Benin and Togo was on my cousin's DNA. She's full black Jamaican like me. It seems a lot of us Jamaicans are from; Nigeria, Benin and Togo, Cameroon and west Bantu people, ivory coast, ghana, mail and then the whiteness
The average Jamaican who is not White, Chinese or Indian is 93% Sub SaharanfArican. The average Brown or Mulato Jamaican is 40% European; that's just average which can be higher as 6% of rhe population is Brown people or Mixed race.
@@celticmulato2609 True.... it's funny that Caribbeans have also said that due to slavery raping they have a bunch of European in them but from watching many of these DNA videos, the vast majority are ninety per cent or more African which is extremely significant and it's good this technology is out there now, especially the ones who boast about their lighter skins being in proximity to Euro blood when this is not necessarily the case. I'd also go as far as saying many seem disappointed they are as African as pure bloods!
@Lynn Coffey That's mostly people from the West Indies like Jamaica, Barbados, and the smaller islands; our Latin neighbors are more a Mulato mix with Native American like Cuban, Dominica Republic, Puerto Rico. Jamaica being 93% Sub Saharan African the majority will be high in African; the average Jamaican is 93% Black or higher. The mix Jamaicans are what we call Brown people!!
When I saw your face, we have similar features, especially the Asia looking features. For years people thought I had some Asian ancestry. I even questioned my mom about my paternity. I was shocked I had no dominate Asia ancestry when I got my results. I am 84% West African, 14% European ancestry and 2% Native ancestry with trace amounts coming from Asia. I still have a hard time today convincing others that I’m not 25% or more with Asia ancestry! Seeing you has validated what my dna states!
@@tomlondon3237 I'm a Jamaican 💯 My ancestry lies elsewhere. I have a Jamaican mindset as does she because were Jamaicans. Just as Brits irrespective of race have a British mindset, same for Yankees/Americans.
Welcome family. I am from Haiti, I did my DNA testing and my initial results were : Benin Togo 37 percent, Nigeria 30-Cameroon Congo western Bantu 15-Mali 4- England and Nortwestern Europe 4-Senegal 4- Ivory Coast 2-Scotland 2 - Portugal 1-north western India 1-obviously we are all related. I also did my African DNA on my maternal side and I share DNA results with Cameroon Tikar Tribe.
Watch banayah Israel channel on hidden Hebrews, looks like your the Tribe of Levi and Judah taken from Portugal, if that is your surname then looks like your British Royalty. ( Not related to the fake royals in power today).
That's because more slaves were taken from Nigeria. They were a little bit more lenient on Ghana where they assembled some of the slaves from other west African countries before shipping them out. I watched a documentary which showcased slave masters taking a liking to the mortality rate of the slaves from Nigeria.
I’m first generation American both my parents are Jamaican and I can’t wait to do this…I’ve always felt strong that we have Nigerian roots soooo we shall see…congratulations on your findings ❤️
Hi , our DNA results are very similar . I am also Jamaican from st Thomas . My origin is 49% Nigerian/16%Bantu/15%BeninTogo/9% Ivory coast Ghana/4%Scottish/3%Mali/2%Wales/1%Norway/1%English northwestern europe
You actually look 100% West African. You could walk around Nigeria and blend in. I see no Asian when I look at you. Your results are awesome and you are almost pure African. You have a lot to be proud of.
Ooh glad I used ancestry dna first. Never heard of the other one. I’m Jamaican too. 32% Nigerian. It has changed since I got the results 6 months ago. It used to be 40%.
I would bet good money that you would have had Asian in your results lol. But you look like Fancy from the Jamie Fox show. Very beautiful. Thanks for sharing
l am from Congo and my mother's side of the family has quite a few people with "asian" features i.e. tight eyes and yellowish-brown tint. As far l know we're 100% bantu. My great uncle's nickname was Chinois which is french for chinese.
I’m born Jamaican…..just found out that my great-grandmother is from Ghana! 💃🏾 💃🏾💃🏾 No matter what we Jamaican will forever finds some European in us, especially because of British invaded Jamaica. Congrats 🥳
I´m from Norway and I'm happy to share a common link with you sistar. It's truly amazing to discover our roots are interconnected like the one true family we are under God. All glory to the Trinity of Paradise, Allah´loo´Yah´Jah, in the name of Jesus Christ MiCahEl I pray God may bless your hearts and minds with the power of his Will to make you instruments and co-creators in this journey and the next. Much love 🥰
I’m also Jamaican with mixed heritage. You look a bit like my eldest sister. I honestly can see some Chinese in you. I thought you were Chinese Jamaican. My family and I have always been asked if we have some East Asian in us and we do, but Ancestry didn’t find it. Another DNA company did.
I have done my ancestry DNA TEST , an 30% Nigerian but yet I am from Jamaica too , but I live in London but I was in Jamaica last year so one love queen 💚💛🖤🤎🧡💜💖🤍💙💗❤💞⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘🥰💪♐🐎
I'm 37% Nigerian/Igbo only 8% Ghana & Sierra leone. In total 52.7% African (including North African Berber) The other 46.7% European, Asian, Gulf Arab and 3% indigenous. The Taino did not die off their DNA live in us Jamaicans. My sister is 7% indigenous.I wasn't surprises about your Nigerian ancestry, I've always felt Jamaicans are fiery like Nigerians, not calm like Ghanaians. I wonder if Bajans are the Ghanaians, they're so calm.
I’m a Black American from Philadelphia who hasn’t done the DNA search yet,although my brother did and he’s like 80% Nigerian so… You’re results mean your exotic 😁
Your results are amazing ~90 % African ! Maybe a European man and Indigenous lady had a child who provided the mix with the African sides. My breakdown was 26% Nigeria,18 % Cameroon Congo Western Bantu, 12% Cote D'ivoire , 12% England & Western Europe, 10% Wales, 5% Mali, 5% Benin Togo, 4% Senegal, 4% Sweden Denmark, 2% Ireland, 1% Nigeran East Central, 1% Khoisan Aka Mbuti, 1% Norway, 1% Northern Italy. I had two previous companies DNA test that included Indigenous North American and South American ? It is a oral history that our family had native American roots. I have one DNA match that has 50% Nigerian and the rest European maybe a recent immigrant mix. This is he first time I seen you and was just interested in your results. I gotta check you out now !!!!
Congratulations ❤️ I am a black American with Ancestors from the Bahamas. 32% of my African ancestotry is Nigerian (wolf & Yoruba) amongst other things....(Scotish, Mali And Cherokee) Indigenous Americans are Asian. Usually a mix of Siberian and Mali. Look up Mansa Musa. The richest King in all of History.
I think the way they use the mitochondrial dna they would have the results from the mothers lineage. I believe the results are more accurate with males since they have a Y chromosome from what I heard. So if her brother or father had a test done you can get a more complete view.
It's not surprising at all that she has no Asian. Those features are actually from the Bantu genes. Many people from the southern portion of Africa look like her, and they are 100% African. Nelson Mandela is a famous example.
Maaaan! I really thought you were going to have some Asian ancestry in there - I TOTALLY said to myself this lady def has some! Anyway as its two years gone have you dug further into what areas/tribes within Nigeria your DNS originates from?
I'm 54% Nigerian 28% Ghanian whoo hoo! I think when Jamaica was under Spanish rule they were mainly bringing over Ghanians hence why the Maroons are of Ashanti decent. I'm assuming the Brits were just bringing over pure Igbo & Yoruba ppl after they took over the island. I could be wrong. P.S. That Colombia Venezuela could be Taino blood.
The British at some point stopped their merchants bringing slaves from then Gold Coast especially the Akan/Ashantis because they found them troublesome and rebellious. Most of Caribbean rebels during slavery were led by them.
@@josephgyamfi2856 That's false. There were thousands of slave rebellions in the Americas involving all the different African tribes. African slaves rebelled every chance they got. For example, the slave rebellion in Barbados was led by an Igboman. There were also maroon communities in Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Suriname, Guyana etc etc
From the moment I saw you in this video I thought how highly resemble a Jamaican middle aged woman I know, and you could almost be her twin when she was younger and she does have a Asian father. Many Afro Jamaicans interbreeding with Asians who migrated from China to Jamaica. Hence the reason I was surprised, more like shocked no Asian showed up in your DNA results. You may want to do another DNA with another company to compare their information with this one.
That 1% indigenous/native that u got comes from the caribbean natives specifically taino/arawak, All of the jamaican natives didnt die but ur native ancestors are from colombia and Venezuela not jamaica native...Im also 25% native jamaican taino!
I predict that you have some Chinese ancestry. EDIT: You don't have any Chinese or other Asian ancestry. However, you do have indigenous American ancestry, which is noteworthy because some indigenous American peoples descend from Asians who migrated to the Americas 10,000 to 20,000 years ago. This explains your Asian-esque phenotype, in my opinion.
I'm curious as to where your Norwegian ancestry is from since there isn't much known history of Norwegians in Jamaica, and they didn't colonize other countries the way the English, Spanish and Dutch were known to do. Maybe one of your Irish or English ancestors had a Norwegian parent/grandparent.
People the asiatic eyes are also an African thing but her face does she Chinese not unlikely being Jamaican it's very common a lot have Indian or Chinese Admixture
So let me give you all a little secrete, slavering started in Nigeria and they took torn and torn of people from that area. So if you’re from any of the island or black American, there’s 65% chance you’re Nigerian and 35% Ghanian because ghana and Nigeria are the two closest country and Togo also. Thank me later
Welcome, home I am a Nigerian too, so what tribe do you think you are from? I think you are either Yoruba or Ibo. Nigerians are wonderful people, and I am a proud Nigerian welcoming you to the motherland. We are the giant of Africa. E Ku abo si ile o.

I’m a Nigerian but have that Asian eye 👁 also my grandma too , mostly south west, south Eastern of Nigeria have that features.
Those Asian-looking features probably come from Botswana their people have those same types of features, and that's where Asians originally come from.
You actually look Like khoi and San people to me
The Khoi and San people are actually found in Southern Africa
She might have meant South Asian (India). Since a lot of Indian people were brought to Jamaica as indentured slaves almost two hundred years ago, the majority of Black Jamaicans have recent Indian ancestry. I was actually surprised that she doesn't.

Hey my precious, great findings my love.
Thank you 😊 ❤️
You’re so funny 😂 congrats on finally getting the results
Haha thanks 😆
I haven't seen the result yet, but I'm excited!
I'm a pure born Nigerian and this is really touching
Me too girl. 43% Nigerian. I knew it just from watching Nollywood.
You actually look 100% West African. You could walk around Nigeria and blend in. I see no Asian when I look at you. Your results are awesome and you are almost pure African. You have a lot to be proud of.
Me when I lie
😂 stop lying
Listen to this and give your life to JESUS
Ooh glad I used ancestry dna first. Never heard of the other one. I’m Jamaican too. 32% Nigerian. It has changed since I got the results 6 months ago. It used to be 40%.
First time viewing your channel
I would bet good money that you would have had Asian in your results lol. But you look like Fancy from the Jamie Fox show. Very beautiful. Thanks for sharing
You're the second person to tell me that I look like her and now I can't unsee it 😂 thank you and thanks for watching 😊
I am an igbo woman with asian face
@@stellaaligwara6459
Come on, Igbo women don't have Asian face
Yes we do and some are light skin
l am from Congo and my mother's side of the family has quite a few people with "asian" features i.e. tight eyes and yellowish-brown tint. As far l know we're 100% bantu. My great uncle's nickname was Chinois which is french for chinese.
I was waiting for some Asian ancestry for sure. You’re adorable!
Umm Native American? lol
I’m born Jamaican…..just found out that my great-grandmother is from Ghana! 💃🏾 💃🏾💃🏾 No matter what we Jamaican will forever finds some European in us, especially because of British invaded Jamaica. Congrats 🥳
I´m from Norway and I'm happy to share a common link with you sistar. It's truly amazing to discover our roots are interconnected like the one true family we are under God. All glory to the Trinity of Paradise, Allah´loo´Yah´Jah, in the name of Jesus Christ MiCahEl I pray God may bless your hearts and minds with the power of his Will to make you instruments and co-creators in this journey and the next. Much love 🥰
I’m also Jamaican with mixed heritage. You look a bit like my eldest sister. I honestly can see some Chinese in you. I thought you were Chinese Jamaican. My family and I have always been asked if we have some East Asian in us and we do, but Ancestry didn’t find it. Another DNA company did.
I have done my ancestry DNA TEST , an 30% Nigerian but yet I am from Jamaica too , but I live in London but I was in Jamaica last year so one love queen 💚💛🖤🤎🧡💜💖🤍💙💗❤💞⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘🥰💪♐🐎
I'm 37% Nigerian/Igbo only 8% Ghana & Sierra leone. In total 52.7% African (including North African Berber) The other 46.7% European, Asian, Gulf Arab and 3% indigenous. The Taino did not die off their DNA live in us Jamaicans. My sister is 7% indigenous.I wasn't surprises about your Nigerian ancestry, I've always felt Jamaicans are fiery like Nigerians, not calm like Ghanaians. I wonder if Bajans are the Ghanaians, they're so calm.
Waooooo, 70% of the African portion of your DNA is Nigerian. That's very very high.
thanks for sharing nice rusults.
I’m a Black American from Philadelphia who hasn’t done the DNA search yet,although my brother did and he’s like 80% Nigerian so… You’re results mean your exotic 😁
Your results are amazing ~90 % African ! Maybe a European man and Indigenous lady had a child who provided the mix with the African sides. My breakdown was 26% Nigeria,18 % Cameroon Congo Western Bantu, 12% Cote D'ivoire , 12% England & Western Europe, 10% Wales, 5% Mali, 5% Benin Togo, 4% Senegal, 4% Sweden Denmark, 2% Ireland, 1% Nigeran East Central, 1% Khoisan Aka Mbuti, 1% Norway, 1% Northern Italy. I had two previous companies DNA test that included Indigenous North American and South American ? It is a oral history that our family had native American roots. I have one DNA match that has 50% Nigerian and the rest European maybe a recent immigrant mix. This is he first time I seen you and was just interested in your results. I gotta check you out now !!!!
Congratulations ❤️ I am a black American with Ancestors from the Bahamas. 32% of my African ancestotry is Nigerian (wolf & Yoruba) amongst other things....(Scotish, Mali And Cherokee) Indigenous Americans are Asian. Usually a mix of Siberian and Mali. Look up Mansa Musa. The richest King in all of History.
Nigeria, Ghana, Ivory coast, Benin, Togo, Mali are all the same people. It's just colonial borders and nothing else
@@baerkaabnaab2388 yeah
Empress yu funny bless up ❤️💛💚🇯🇲🙏🏾
Not even 1% Asian??? Damn... I would have bet my money and lost.
Haha right?!
I think the way they use the mitochondrial dna they would have the results from the mothers lineage. I believe the results are more accurate with males since they have a Y chromosome from what I heard. So if her brother or father had a test done you can get a more complete view.
I definitely thought Asian would be one of the top results. Your Asian features are so strong and you are beautiful btw.
First time seeing any of your videos but looking at your facial features I assumed there would be some Asian. DNA is so interesting!
Native Americans also look like Asians don't forget that.
It's not surprising at all that she has no Asian. Those features are actually from the Bantu genes. Many people from the southern portion of Africa look like her, and they are 100% African. Nelson Mandela is a famous example.
@@andromedastar4900 you are absolutely right! I didn't think of that. Thanks for the reminder!
Me to girl I am a jamaican and I watch everything nigerian I felt connected to nigerian. I too going to do one of thes test.
My daughter did 23 & me and her dna results very similar, except we have Spanish and Portuguese plus Sierra Leone…
The 1% indigenous is correct, your features are similar to my fam who are of indigenous blood line.
I can't wait for mines. Born jamaican.
Lovely Nigerian queen 👸🇳🇬 . Thought you would be from China but oh well. 😊
😂😂😂
People fail to realize that West African people had some features that mimic Asian people like high cheekbones.
@@peacehappyb237 and eyes.
@@peacehappyb237 It's actually from her Native American ancestry
Wait for it.....
Igbo people has your look.
My dad looks like a Chinese
Igbos don't look Chinese.
Maaaan! I really thought you were going to have some Asian ancestry in there - I TOTALLY said to myself this lady def has some! Anyway as its two years gone have you dug further into what areas/tribes within Nigeria your DNS originates from?
She do lol
That's good my sister for discovered your ancestry home
I'm 54% Nigerian 28% Ghanian whoo hoo! I think when Jamaica was under Spanish rule they were mainly bringing over Ghanians hence why the Maroons are of Ashanti decent. I'm assuming the Brits were just bringing over pure Igbo & Yoruba ppl after they took over the island. I could be wrong. P.S. That Colombia Venezuela could be Taino blood.
The British at some point stopped their merchants bringing slaves from then Gold Coast especially the Akan/Ashantis because they found them troublesome and rebellious. Most of Caribbean rebels during slavery were led by them.
@@josephgyamfi2856
That's false. There were thousands of slave rebellions in the Americas involving all the different African tribes. African slaves rebelled every chance they got. For example, the slave rebellion in Barbados was led by an Igboman. There were also maroon communities in Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Suriname, Guyana etc etc
Akan tribe from Ghana which it Gold Coast.
Sis you are straight up African. Mali, The Congolese, Benin are all part of the continent of Africa 🌍 👏🏼
From the moment I saw you in this video I thought how highly resemble a Jamaican middle aged woman I know, and you could almost be her twin when she was younger and she does have a Asian father. Many Afro Jamaicans interbreeding with Asians who migrated from China to Jamaica. Hence the reason I was surprised, more like shocked no Asian showed up in your DNA results. You may want to do another DNA with another company to compare their information with this one.
How cool! I love knowing I have doppelgängers out there 😄 I will definitely someday try another company! I’m not convinced either haha
@@ladeenly ❤️
I was thinking Jamaican Chinese. You definitely look like you have some Asian Ancestors. I would've thought 20-25% honestly.
Well she’s native too so yeah
That 1% indigenous/native that u got comes from the caribbean natives specifically taino/arawak, All of the jamaican natives didnt die but ur native ancestors are from colombia and Venezuela not jamaica native...Im also 25% native jamaican taino!
That’s so cool. So you’re Jamaican to the core 😂 good for you!
Native taino? Nice, what are your physical features like?
Out of curiosity, are you part of the maroon community in JA? I think that's where most of the taino bloodline is concentrated.
I can actually see it in her even though it's such a low percentage. I thought she would be a lot more then 1% native.
Tbh tainos originated in that area of South America so makes sense
I wonder why the first 2 test were unsuccessful??! Strange🤔🤔
Glad you are checking your background,now what ? and I meant this in a good way.
😂😂😂😂 got so excited and almost forgot the others lmao 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
I'm bahamian haitian africain american from Nigerian descend
Hello my sister, do you know what people you're from in Nigeria?
How reliable are those test thou?
The original Arawaks that settled Jamaica came from Colombia/Venezuela region
The Asian “look” is coming from the South American dna.
West Africans too
Nigeria, Benin, Ghana, Togo, Mali are west African countries.
Omo Naija 🇳🇬 babe! You are welcome to motherland Africa
I predict that you have some Chinese ancestry.
EDIT: You don't have any Chinese or other Asian ancestry. However, you do have indigenous American ancestry, which is noteworthy because some indigenous American peoples descend from Asians who migrated to the Americas 10,000 to 20,000 years ago. This explains your Asian-esque phenotype, in my opinion.
++
It’s a fact
Alot of People in Puerto rico have the indigenous columbian venezuelan, i have it
I'm only half Jamaican, and my brother has similar percentages of Nigerian blood.
ok and that on period ok got a new subbie
Baby you’re Taino Jamaica like myself ❤Congratulations
The Americans/Venezuelan is actually Taino/Arawak ancestry
The indigenous Americans are kinda quite closely related to asians btw!
Not just related, they are Asian descent lol
What are the other percentages?
What people in Nigeria, Togo, and Benin?
I'm curious as to where your Norwegian ancestry is from since there isn't much known history of Norwegians in Jamaica, and they didn't colonize other countries the way the English, Spanish and Dutch were known to do. Maybe one of your Irish or English ancestors had a Norwegian parent/grandparent.
I'm going to order my kit 😊
Ayyyee 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
I was weird out by seeing that. I was 30% European on that really weird it me out I never would think that.
Togo and Nigeria are within trekking distance.....,7minutes
Benin republic to Nigeria and vice versa is a trekking distance not Togo.. Togo is quite Far from Nigeria 😍
African phenotypes are very diverse
I was expecting her to have Chinese considering quite a few Jamaicans do. Also, she looks like she is part Asian.
Well she is lol
@@Mope333 Did you watch the entire video? She is 91 percent African and 8 percent European. 7:43
@@KalelaChannel So there’s 1%?
People the asiatic eyes are also an African thing but her face does she Chinese not unlikely being Jamaican it's very common a lot have Indian or Chinese Admixture
So let me give you all a little secrete, slavering started in Nigeria and they took torn and torn of people from that area. So if you’re from any of the island or black American, there’s 65% chance you’re Nigerian and 35% Ghanian because ghana and Nigeria are the two closest country and Togo also. Thank me later
Omg get to the results already yezuz get over it 😫 hurry up already
Most plp in West Africa Inter marry Benin abd Togo have yoruba tribe who are indigenous to Nigeria 🇳🇬
Indigenous is native american, ancestrycom once a year they update,23andme might updated more then once a year
Thanks so much for the info! 😊
The indigenous that she got is from the taino/arawaks,the caribbean natives
I consider myself a featureoligist because im good at telling faces not just among black but among every race and even tribal group
What do your results look like now?
Welcome, home I am a Nigerian too, so what tribe do you think you are from? I think you are either Yoruba or Ibo. Nigerians are wonderful people, and I am a proud Nigerian welcoming you to the motherland. We are the giant of Africa. E Ku abo si ile o.
She looks like she's from southern Nigeria.
She is igbo
Guyanese , st Vincent Ethiopian, Russian morroco
I got Jamaican which I already knew and Trinidad
Many of us Asian looking Jamaicans are African. Some African features look very Asian. 61% African…..Nigerian/ Ghanian ….
