“…This study is also unique because the Penta D and Penta E loci are CODIS accepted loci and have been reported to enhance the power of discrimination in forensic casework testing. All the studied loci have been shown in previous research to be su cient for the genetic information needed for forensic applications [1][2][3][4][5].…”

With a population of about 211 million, Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa and the 7th most populous in the world. Despite this large population, there is paucity in population frequency data useful in forensic investigations and human identification that is specifically relevant to the Nigerian population. The study utilized samples collected from 500 unrelated individuals self-reporting as Nigerians and residing in Lagos State, the most populated and cosmopolitan state in Nigeria, with a population of about 21 million. The frequencies of 23 autosomal STR loci and other forensic parameters were calculated including the gene diversity, polymorphic information content, random match probability, power of discrimination, observed heterozygosity, power of exclusion, typical paternity index and minimum allele frequency. The allele frequencies ranged from 0.001 to 0.493 and the values for PE, PD, Hobs and PIC ranged from 0.3663 to 0.8159, 0.8321 to 0.9862, 0.6580 to 0.9100 and 0.6095 to 0.9143 respectively. Amongst the markers tested, the highest and lowest values for all parameters were observed in SE33 and D13S317 respectively except for the random match probability where the reverse is the case. None of the markers deviated from the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium using a p = 0.05 significance level.

“…Nigeria is the most populous Black nation in the world, and it is composed of over 250 ethnic groups. The Hausas, Yorubas, and Igbos are the first to third largest ethnic groups, respectively [3,4].…”

“…Therefore, STRs are highly variable diverse genetic markers, and they are widely used as forensic tools in the identification of individuals in civil and criminal cases [7]. For forensic genotyping purposes, 21 Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) STR markers (CSF1PO, D12S391, D13S317, D16S539, D18S51, D19S433, D1S1656, D21S11, D22S1045, D2S1338, D2S441, D3S1358, D5S818, D6S1043, D7S820, D8S1179, FGA, SE33, TH01, TPOX, and vWA) have been previously examined in some Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba ethnic groups of Nigeria [4]. The number of alleles (allelic richness) is a genetic diversity parameter which can help determine a population's long-term potential for adaptability and persistence [8].…”

“…Previous studies examined some of the CODIS STR markers in Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba ethnic groups of Nigeria, but they have not examined them in the Fulani ethnic group of Nigeria [4]. The PEN-TA loci (pentanucleotide repeat STR D and E) were released by PROMEGA scientists in 2000, as part of the efforts to establish loci with high variability, but low amounts of stutter product formation [10].…”

Nigeria is the most populous African nation, comprising over 250 ethnic groups. The Yoruba and Fulani are the second and fourth largest ethnic groups in Nigeria, respectively. Forensic genotyping of short tandem repeats (STRs) is used in computation of Combined DNA Index System databases of individuals and ethnic groups. We examined allele diversity, haplotype frequency, haplotype diversity, and forensic genotyping data of autosomal STRs in Fulani and Yoruba residents in Ilorin, Kwara State, North Central Nigeria, in-order to further provide forensic genotyping data of these ethnic groups. Samples of 25 Fulani males and 23 Yoruba males whose ethnicity was confirmed by three generations (paternal and maternal) were collected with informed consent using purposive sampling. All individuals in the samples were unrelated. The samples were amplified and then genotyped using the SureID® 21G PCR Amplification Kit containing Amelogenin and 20 autosomal STR loci. Statistical analyses of forensic genotyping parameters confirmed no deviation from expectation of Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium and no dependence of alleles between loci. All tested loci were polymorphic. Expected Heterozygosity and gene diversity parameters showed lower genetic diversity amongst Fulanis compared to Yorubas. This is possibly due to the prevalent custom of marriage between cousins amongst Fulanis, which is forbidden in Yoruba customs.

Expounding the Diversity of African Construction of Fertility: the Yorùbá Example

While African population dynamics are typically referenced even in global demographic discourses, there is indeed a dearth of interpretive understanding of cultural construction of fertility among African ethnic groups. This article is a report of an ethnologic exploration of indigenous construction of fertility among rural Yorùbá farmers. Farmers were targeted because of their surviving ‘traditionality’ amongst other factors. Findings validate the commonplace assumption underscoring pro-fertile African value for children. More interestingly, findings yielded low-fertility compliant and even neutrality-laden fertility-related Yorùbá cultural construction. Among other things, findings demonstrate that the character of fertility-related Yorùbá construction is adaptive, empathetic and integrative, thereby affirming that the traditional veneration of the fertile is huge but non-sacrosanct.
