Popular American preacher, Bishop T.D Jakes of the Potter’s House, has revealed how he discovered that his ancestors are from the Igbo tribe of Nigeria.
“It all started when Henry Lewis Gates, who was at Harvard, decided to this DNA testing to see where my ancestry came from. It was me, it was Oprah Winfrey. It was Quincy Jones and others,” he said.“Mine was traced back to West Africa, to Nigeria and particularly Igbo. My ancestors were Igbos. It’s indescribable. It gives something that we the African-Americans don’t have, which is roots.
“They have strong business acumen. I deeply relate to that. It explained to me; it’s odd that I was never born there, yet, see so many traces. I’ve always had strong business acumen. “What I know about the food is that it’s almost always hot and spicy. I ate it before but the food over there is so hot it makes your head sweat. And I like it,” he said.

Come back home but you never visited Nigeria.
I have always known that you are Igbo.Just go to Onitsha and Nnewi markets and you will find your kits and kins with almost same resemblance.
You are welcome brother the resemblance is clear, Okechukwu should be a suitable Igbo name 🙏
This is an old gist. He said this at COZA in May 2018. The first day he preached, he wore Igbo attire and they did Igbo display for him that evening .

Most Black Americans have igbo heritage we knew this all along because our great grand fathers did not have a glimpse of what life was for those they traded across the Atlantic. But in God we trust and all is well.
Cool
The 1st day I listened to his preaching, I was like 'this man is an Igbo man', his 'Igbotic' accent is obvious. Welcome home sir.
Someone should inform him that it's new yam festival this weekend in Igbo land. Good avenue to catch up with the cousins.
