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.

I agree, while discussing intra-ethnic relations, geography seems to be more important.
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. It doesn't even have to be shared ancestry, although it probably is. It's only based on if you're more similar to those Nigerians than to the reference groups for "Europeans" and "Asians". It's actually usually not even five percent for Horners so far, just up to five percent.
