The technology now exists to trace the mother's or father's line back hundreds of years. This combined with databases of information about ethnic/linguistic groups in a particular area and, in some cases, the results can be pretty specific. For a scientific explanation see the Wikipedia. I am sure Forest Whitaker has the money to apply all resources available in order to research his genealogy.

Is forest whitaker from Nigeria?

Recently the golden globe and Oscar winner was in Nigeria to visit his ancestral land. A couple of years back, he found his true identity after a DNA test was conducted and his roots were traced to Nkwere village in Imo state- Eastern Nigeria. The king of Nkwere land and the 20 cheives representing all the tribes there welcomed Forest Whitaker in the traditional way and gave him a cheiftancy title. it was a really emotional time for Whitaker and his friend Danny Glover, another Hoolywood star who was also given a cheftancy title as well. I was present there though it took me a while to believe i was. thank God i took alot of pictures. So, YES, Forest Whitaker is a NIGERIAN. We are truly proud.
