Its clear that African-Americans favor Igbos in looks. Nnamdi and Allen Iverson look like they are brothers from the same mother and father.

IMO These West African Fulanis could easily be mistaken for AA's in America if they were to dress more Western.

A lot of Upper West Africans from the Sahel appear to resemble AA's to an extent. Not only that but AA culture appears to have roots from cultures from the Sahel like from Mali or Senegambia.

Fulani and their Taureg companions are the original Libyans. They migrated further down from North Africa because the expansion of the Sahara. They are major cattle herders and were primarily responsible for the spread of Islam in West Africa. They are not not related to AA, I have met many Fulanis and I knew a dude in college that was Fulani, they are rare here on this side of the world. They have a slender build not built for sprinting sports.

How when both Fulanis and AA's carry E1b1a in high frequencies? How are they not related?And Fulanis were taken during slave trade. They influenced the American cowboy culture. And just because their rare in the USA now doesn't mean they were not taken as slaves. And what does sports have to do with anything? You're saying all AA's most be built for sprinting sports? Thats not the case. And also many Nigerians like these have a slender build.

But to be honest I don't care about this discussion so continue on.

Plus looking at AA's on average in my experience many do not resemble Fulani's.

I have been to Nigeria more than a few times, I can spot a Fulani from a mile away. They do not look like AAs. Igbos just like Fulanis tend to be lighter skin and you can tell the difference between the two. Fulanis have stoic countenance and Igbos have a more lively countenance just as example. Even their walking gait is different if you see each group walking separately. Many of you on here would trip out to see how accurately people can identify tribes.



This guy is Igbo, so are the guys in the Alobam shirts. The people in the background are Yoruba since this was filmed in a Yoruba hood in Lagos. Dude looks like he is related to Swizz Beats.

This. I actually have slave ship documents that shows that many of the Haitians were traded by the Dahomey and Oyo Empires from the Bight of Benin. They also brought the local religion, Vodun (voodoo) with them. They were taken from enemy tribes of both empires.

Angolans were sent primarily to South America...it is a very short trip by ship. I grew up around a bunch of Afro-Colombians and they look like some Angolans

I thought they came from Yoruba people.

Breh, Yoruba people were major slave traders. The entire Nago tribe basically disappeared from West Africa since they were their neighboring rivals, the Yoruba. You have certain tribes that are today lumped under Yoruba, but they are not Yoruba just Yoruba influenced due to the conquering. They are simply tribes that were conquered by the Oyo Empire and traded by them. People need to understand that the slave trade lasted almost 300 years and it was done in a deliberate and orderly fashion. It wasn't the wild west, it was seamless economy with specific trading partners involved and specific people being traded. Tribes did not trade their own people contrary to what has been taught. Certain empires and tribes were taken down by Empires that came into power at the start of the slave trade in the 1600s. It is no coincidence the Oyo Empire formed at the start of the slave trade.

Dahomey, Ashanti, Oyo and Bini Empires were the major empires doing trading along the coast of West Africa, especially in the Bight of Benin and the Bight of Biafra. These empires agreed with the Europeans to trade rival tribes from other empires and were given guns and cannons by the Europeans to have an advantage against their rivals. The Oyo Empire was a major ally of the Portuguese and during the slave trade the Oyo king would take trips to Portugal to kick it with the crown there. They even built a house in Lagos to honor the king known as an Oba because they were making so much money. There is a book published by Cambridge back in the 1970s that detailed the Oyo Empire and its rise to power through the slave trade period. The Portuguese had many of these slaves sent to the Spanish Caribbean and Central America. Spain spent more time conquering territory and relied on Portuguese imports of slaves and they actually worked together since as one point the Iberian peninsula were under the same crown. The Nri Kingdom (Igbos) declined during the slave trade because they were being attacked by two kingdoms...the Igala and the Bini kingdoms. That is why so many Igbos were victims of the slave trade, in fact...the Igbos are the most heavily documented victims of the slave trade. From newspapers, slave posters, to books, to towns and areas in the Americas being named after them.
