I know Ethios are comprised of many different ethnic groups but I basically meant the largest one (Amharized Oromos and real Oromos = over 60-70% of Ethiopia).
How about the oromoized Amharas? and the Amharized Tigrayans? how about the Tigrayanized Agews? The Oromized Agews? The Oromized Somalis? The Somalized Oromos? The Tigrayanized oromos? The Oromoized Afars? The Oromoized Argobbas? The Oromized people from Damot? The list is endless actually and it is not that simple, read Ethiopian History. The "real" Oromos now are probably just the Borana.

In any case, the 5% Nigerian that Ethiopians have on 23andme could be just noise or due to ancient common ancestry with Western Africans, who knows? If it is due to ancient common ancestry with Nigerians then expect to have the same amount of admix.
