I knew this was happening! There was waaay too many Af-Ams showing up with Cameroon ancestry and not enough showing up with Igbo roots

Cameroon seems to be highly diverse and with it bordered the Bight of Biafra (igboland) it makes sense that there is substantial overalap

but for me a barely there Nigeria ancestry to me indicates likely no Nigerian and if there is some, it's probably Igbo.
