Really? What a bummer, I am expecting 0% than. Nigeria is halfway across the continent. We’ll see, the wait sucks.

Nah, I wouldn't expect 0%. These are only your percentages of similarity compared to the two other reference groups. So far, the Horners on 23andme have had higher "Asian" percentages than "African". Three reference groups are simply not enough to give an accurate description for all human populations. There are no known Somalis on 23andme so far, so we can't know for sure, but I would expect you to get less than 5% "African". Not that it matters, anyway. You could also try sending your raw data to Doug McDonald, his results seem to be at least a little more accurate (he uses Bantu Kenyans). Let's just be patient and wait for your results.
