I think he looks a bit Yoruba and Warri. There's a musician that looks like him- can't remember his name.

Once people become successful they immediately start looking like Nigerians abi? You guys are working this success-has-many-fathers thing seriously.

Most likely Igbo. Igbos are very dominant in sports back home in Nigeria.

Re: Usain Bolt Looks Nigerian, But Which Tribe? by onila(f): 2:56am On Aug 06, 2012
he look warri either urhobo or isoko

he looks kinda Ghanaians. .hes from far from being cameroonian
Re: Usain Bolt Looks Nigerian, But Which Tribe? by BlackKenichi(m): 2:56am On Aug 06, 2012
He looks mainly Akan but I do see a little Biafran in there as well! And it makes sense. Just under two thirds of slaves that were exported to Jamaica came from Ghana (also parts of the Ivory Coast) and South Eastern Nigeria (also parts of Western Cameroon)!

I'll admit Angolans do have a pseudo West African look! They don't look like their Congolese neighbours.

It seems like some nigerians and most ghanaians have no pride nor dignity at all
AS for the slave coast ,it was ghana ,togo ,benin ,nigeria :ivory coast was not part of it
Akan people are originally from Ghana
ghanaians got this strong inferiority complex towards those "blacks from diaspora" ,they are treated like royalties in ghana
Nkrumah acted like a beggar in front of them LOL

there's a ghana boy in this thread who claim to be jamaican haha (guess who that is )
poor africa :some africans act as if africa was the world's garbage
most blacks from diaspora have some european seed as well as many other mixed heritage but only nigerians or ghana peep would claim them
At least senegambians or most french speaking africans have more dignity !

Don't forget the Whirlwind Coast, Upper Guinea and Senegambia! Oh btw Southwestern Ivory Coast was part of the Whirlwind Coast! Try harder fool!

Akan people are originally from Ghana
And from the Ivory Coast.

What you call "treated like royalty" is what I and many other people call being welcoming!

Sorry d***head I'm Jamaican Maroon. Most Jamaican Maroons are of Akan descent!

These are the same French speaking West African countries that are experiencing quite a lot of turmoil. These same French speaking West African countries that were the French men's bitch while the British had to fight tooth and nail to occupy Ghana. Btw the French considered Senegambians quite docile especially the Wolof! While the Brits genuinely feared the Akan so much so they wanted to stop the import of Akan slaves. Also wasn't Ghana the one of the first West African countries to gain indepedence!?
Most West African Sahelian countries are either bitches to Islam (mainly Arabs), the French or to there own inferior gene pool.

Read about Samory Touré and Behanzin and Umar Tall's assault on a French fort and stop yarning opata for here. I get that you want to rep your Akan ancestry, but stop stretching the bounds of credibility.

A few things.............. fascinating. I'll check it out. Most West African countries controlled by the French became docile! Fact.

Please do go into more detail about this docility and how it's a "fact" and make sure to mention all the revolts in the French ruled parts of West Africa as you do so.

^ most of them were crushed.

feel free to disagree though- havent really studied the matter in depth.

but if the french could crush dahomey then i doubt any other kingdom could withstand them.

I was referring to revolts during colonial rule - after the actual kingdoms had been defeated. I think Kenichi has a somewhat distorted perspective on things because of modern events.

Only cowards can run as fast,so Usain Bolt must have some yoruba in him.
