Can African Ancestry really tell which African country an African American's ancestry is from?

Asked by Morningstar (10points) February 7th, 2012

Let’s say an African American has a DNA match in Nigeria. Does that actually mean the ancestry is Nigerian? What if the ancestors where in Ghana or Sierra Leone 300yrs ago?
