The aim of this thesis was to ascertain the genetic variations and demographics in five major Nigerian populations using Y-markers. This was done by determining the genetic structures of the Afro-asiatic speaking Hausa (n=78) of Northern Nigeria and the Niger Congo speaking populations of Igbo (n=119), Yoruba (n=238), Bini (n=13) and Ijaw (n=15) of Southern Nigeria all spread over four (North, South east, south west and South south) geographical regions.
Hausa sampled were:
-47% E1b1a
-5% E1b1b
-21℅ others E (E1a, E2...)
-18% R
-9% B
The typical Niger-Congo lineage E1b1a was the most common one followed by R commonly found within Chadic speaking groups.
E1b1b which is widespread amongst most afro-asiatic speaking communities wasn't common overall, 20% in Kano being the highest rate amongst the 6 locations.
Haplogroup E excluding E1b1a and E1b1b was prevalent, unfortunately they didn't dig it further but E1a(E-M132) found along Western Sahel and in a sudanese hausa sample(16%) was certainty there. Same for E2(E-M75).
B was more present amongst Hausa than southern Nigerians

It's Interesting that B is not that common among the southern populations and yet has a significant number in the North.

Yeah, either random selection or some B subclades from the North could be East Saharan related(maybe mediated by the Kanuris and such)

I'm 95.6% Niger-Congo according to 23andme: 85.2% West African and 10.4% Bantu (Congolese and Angolan); and 23andme has determined that 64% of my overall ancestry is Nigerian, though no ethnic group is specified. I carry a subclade of E-M132 (i.e. E1a). I wonder what the origin and migration pattern of E-M132 is, since there's so little information available about it.

I think its pretty obvious that you deal with Neolithic and post-Neolithic migration patterns for E1b1b and R, which means that about 25 % can be considered West Eurasian.

How does this relate to E-M132 (E1a)?

It doesn't, though I think that E1a branches spread primarily with ANA from North Africa, as they seem to have been largely absent from (most of) Subsarahan Africa up to fairly recently.

I've come up with my own hypothesis regarding the origin of E-M96's extant subclades (E-M75 & E-M5479, the latter of which includes E-M132, E-V38, and E-M215).
I think that CT and L3 originated in a population that resided in Northeast Africa, and that this population was divided between the Sahara and the Sahel.
All of the tribes in the Sahara would have produced the Eurasian subclades of CT and L3, and they would have migrated out of Africa to escape the desertification of the Sahara.
And the tribes in the Sahel would have produced E-M96 and the African subclades of L3 (e.g. L3a, L3b'c'd, L3e'i'k'x, L3f, and L3h). However, one of these Sahelian tribes, whose males would have carried E-P177, would have joined the Saharan tribes, but they would have settled in North Africa when the Saharan tribes would have migrated out of the continent.
Afterwards, they would have mixed with Aterians and produced Ancestral North Africans, in whom E-P177 would have developed into E-M215 (E1b1b).
Meanwhile, in the Sahelian tribes, E-P177 would have developed into E-V38 (E1b1a). Additionally, the Sahelian tribes would have produced E-M75 and all other subclades of E-M5479 besides E-P177.
My hypothesis explains why E-M215 is dominant in North Africa and why all other subclades of E-M96 are dominant in sub-Saharan Africa (e.g. the Sahel and below).

I know it's a bit offtopic but 95.6% SSA is VERY high for an Afro-Caribbean person.

For African Americans and Afro-Latinos, but not for Afro-Caribbeans.
