9icest: The main global Jewish tribes are already established long ago by a well respected Jewish professor....
And they are: Sephardic (Southern European), Mizrahim (Oriental), The Ashkenazi (German, and mostly Northern Europe)...and the pure Hebrewic tribes.
The others are scattered all-over India, and some other parts of Northern America. The Ibos were never included. This was published in the international anthropological encyclopedia years ago. There is nothing as disturbing as people who dont even know their own roots. Check the Jewish culture...you have so little in similarity.
The so called Pentateuch which the Bulk of the Old Testament is pulled from is written in their original Hebrewic language and it has so much similiarity with the arabic which starts from the right side of the book, not the left. You dont even observe any of their Mitzvah, neither is their a Kosher dietary culture between you people. I pray you get answer to this identity crisis.

This is quite contrary, If anything can make me believe that Igbos are Hebrews; It is their culture. Infact as a Christian whenever I'm reading the book of Leviticus, I became afraid because I saw so many religious resemblances of what Igbo religious culture is doing. Pls. I'm very serious, What I saw in Leviticus looks so similar to Igbo religious culture. This is what makes me begin to wonder if Igbos have anything to do with the Israelis, even before I start to hear this rumor of Igbos been one of the lost tribe of Israel.
I hapen to relate to my village high prist(Local shrine priest). I'm a Christian but I saw what they used to do, and what they believe.

why it is not other way round ? i think jews sld be claiming igbo. black men with their thinking.

arewaboy: Always claiming to be jews, dont you know jews are the most hated people in this world. You better realize things before what happenned to the so called ethiopian jews fell on you. And concerning population i dont think IGBOS EXCEED 18-20 million peoples.

There 16 million Igbos . About 10% of Nigerias population. The land area of Igboland is 29,000 sq km ( about 3% of Nigerias land mass.)

while we are on the subject, it’s time for the daughters of Moab to be reveled to those in need of them.

See the striking similarities and place your judgments yourself.

kofoshi: Yeye people!

They are looking for reinforcement in Israel to assist them in seceding from Nigeria, so any co.ck and bull story will do.

Attache no go help una dis time. You are stuck until we say go.

What 'we' are u talking about?

Toktee: The story seems to be true bicos israel and igbo people share somethng in common,both of them hate visitors,both of them are very clue,both of them dont value human live,both of them have dominant spirit and they are all self centered,dnt hide my comment pls

So they are both evil?

I have always wondered why we igbos do circumscision on the eight day of life on earth,it's too close to the hebrew practice,to be a co-incidence. Even early europeans that visited eboe town (aboh-ukwuani), noticed this and pointed it out.

Please historians in the house,were other nigerian tribes like the yorubas,edo groups etc doing circumscision before the coming of the whites,and do they do it on the eight day?

^^^ ur fada and moda

Shut up and go mend some shoes....stupid cobbler!

FXKing2012: Yes they are. Is it not obvious going by what Igbos have been achieving for Nigeria? From the Super Eagles which is made up of over 90% Igbos to the fact that Igbos are the ones sustaining the economy of Nigeria...the list is simply endless

we are thinking same things o. If we are israelites, i see it as a blessing. Cos i know how God vindicated dem in d bible and made people,tribes and nations go down for dem and fear dem. It happens in naija steady.
Den, if igbos are not, then, there is transfer of favouritism.
Hey peepz, dont get worked up, u cant question God. His decision is final !!

otumfour: mtchew! Nigerians and their inferiority complex disease

Some of you are just stup.id. Does the Jewish researcher and other Jewish researchers down the years who saw cultural similarities between Igbos and Israeli Jews also suffering ''inferiority complex''? It is YOU is who is ignorant of African history which is replete with incidents of migration of peoples spanning thousands of years. So why should we not make efforts to trace our migratory paths? It is YOU who needs to stop being ignorant, and open yourself up to new knowledge.

*facepalm* when religion weds gullibility, the result is embarassing. The same God that let Assyria, Babylon and Rome defeat the Jews and destroy their cities?
If Igbos are Jews, you can be sure God has rejected them as his chosen people like he did Israel.

Ivyluvie: Am frm aguleri,nd i truly bliv dis,nt d first time for me to hear dis.nd i bliv dis because,same story i heard frm my grandpa.was same i heard frm my mum nd aunts.so i do bliv.dere z ntn sweet bout it,bt i tnk its kinda unique nd outstanding for d igbos to b takn into consideration.*wink*

You couldnt have said it better dear.

There is no Igbo custom mentioned as evidence of Jewish heritage that is not practiced by neighbouring groups. The others do not claim to be Jews.

kheart: Hehehehe so ibos re new breeds of jews afterall, but d diff is dat d real Jews use deir sense in tech while ibo jews use theirs for criminality. Smh

You never disappoint me with your enormous level of stvpidity. I think that this mo.ronic attitude runs from your maternal blood line.

Just a civil war propaganda. that's all.

Well, u av decided to quote d side of the bible that pleased u and d side u wished for igbos. Ok, we all know about God and the israelites, whole story,dont we? How israel laughed at last.
So, no point arguing with u, choose anoda person.

Delusive people no be them say they are Lagosians with 90% population. These peps yeye die, They a the epitome of the symbol that represents corruption. The Ijebus that have some links don't even Flaunt it. Much less the cockroach tribe of Nigeria that no one want to associate with for their crime, 419, yahoo yahoo,drugs name it. Mchieeew.

Did the binis and yorubas do male circumscision before the coming of the whites? If they did,was it done on the eight day?

hmmm... Someone isn't reading her bible. Ok na. Be a Jewess if you wish. I'm not wishing anyone anything bad. Trying to use the Bible to paint the Igbos as God's chosen people is rather silly when the the same Bible says that the original Jews have been rejected. It becomes worse when that comes from a christian who believes in an impartial God.

[size=18pt]NO! NO! NO! NO!

We are Igbo's we aren't Jews. I don't know where this crap came from. It won't add anything to us for crying out loud. We are Igbos and should be proud of who we are. You can't claim to be the son of any man if he believes you aren't. [/size]

Speaking for the Binis . Yes. And yes.

[quote author=~Bluetooth]
Yes they are the lost tribe of israel.When Hitler began the holocaust of jews ( I'm sure all of you know how hitler despised them ),ibo jews are very smart and decided to run from hitler to avoid extermination.
Well as at date,y'all can see what hitler meant when he decided to spared the jews for the world to see how wicked they are.Ibos are just as wicked as the jews. . . Hitler didn't finish his mission I tell ya
