Don't mind them, Arabs are angelic beings whilst Jews are the devil.

Boko Harams are Israeli Jews or Jewish conspiracy at best.

Why can't a grown up mind his business and allow people to exercise their Universal Freedom of Association without sticking their nose where the sun don't shine?

Same reason why Arabic is inscribed on Naira notes.

[size=18pt]Nigeria: 38 Citizens in Israeli Prisons[/size]
By Golu Timothy, 24 February 2009

Tel-Aviv — A total of 38 Nigerians are cooling in the prisons of the holy state of Israel awaiting deportation. They were arrested for sundry offences, most of which borders on illegal immigration into the holy city.

This is coming as the mother of Nigeria's deputy senate president, and leader of the 2008 Christian pilgrims delegation, Senator Ike Ekweremadu narrowly escaped being kidnapped few days ago while her son was away to Israel.

Israel begins mass deportation of Nigerians
[/size]

In what looks like a crackdown on immigrants in their country, Israel has started a massive deportation of Africans comprising mainly Nigerians in what they called ‘operation clean up’.

In the last few weeks no fewer than 50 Nigerians have been deported from the middle east country for reasons ranging from what they termed illegal stay, work permit and other flimsy excuses.

Due to the recent series of offensive and racist statements made by Israeli politicians, African diplomats in Israel are afraid to walk down the street, said African ambassadors in Israel during a meeting with Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon.

The meeting, which was attended by the ambassadors of Angola, Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Ethiopia and the Ivory Coast, was recently held in the Foreign Ministry’s offices in Jerusalem, Yedioth Ahronoth, an Israeli newspaper reported.This was after the wife of the Ghanian ambassador was arrested by Israeli police where she was on shopping in Tel Aviv.

Israeli’s claim that immigrants are responsible for the ongoing series of rapes and muggings committed in their country is a way of calling a dog a bad name in order to hang it.

Reports from Tel Aviv where most of the immigrants live show that most of them now hide inside their apartments without going to work for fear of being arrested while on the street. ’Many Nigerians living in Israel are very law abiding and go their normal businesses’ said an official of the Nigerian community who doesn’t want his name in print.

The recent crackdown has seen Isreaeli authorities

arresting Nigerians with families and taking them to detention camps sometimes with their very under aged children where they face harsh punitive measures and untold hardship before being deported to their country.

To worsen the situation, the Nigerian Embassy officials have never intervened in this ugly incidents being meted on Nigerians, our source revealed

Mr Iweka [real name withheld] from Enugu state said he has been living in Israel legally since twelve years working in a restaurant but was deported on the orders of his employer who wouldn’t want to pay his accumulated gratuity. He was arrested in his apartment by over twenty security agents and chained both legs and hands and bundled into a van even after showing them his valid papers and driven to prison. His lawyer took his case to court and after spending two months in the prison under harsh conditions was deported without concluding his case. He described is ordeal as a racist, barbaric and unhuman.

Member of the Israeli Knesset Shlomo Molla (Kadima) has warned that, “The State has failed to do its diplomatic due diligence .No one wants to migrate here if they’re doing well… It doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t try to send them back, but these events – abusing them like that – that’s wrong.

“I’ve seen case where people where physically hurt. If that’s not incitement – what is?” he wondered.

Member if Israeli Knesset K Dov Khenin (Hadash) read testimonies given by teens suspected of assaulting migrants, detailing the violent abuse they had perpetrated. He further deplored the government’s actions against them.

c.fours:
Abor wears his kippah and his identity with pride.

"I am a Jewish Igbo," he says.

The Igbo are one of Nigeria's largest ethnic groups with population estimates ranging from 20 to 50 million. Abor is convinced that the Igbo's ancestors were Jews.

"The son of Yaakov, Jacob, [was] Gad and I learned that he was among those people who went out of Israel to exile," Abor says. "So from there he had a son called Eri and a son gave birth to a son called Aguleri and that's how the Igbo race began."

From generation to generation, some Igbo have passed down various versions of a migration story framed around Jacob, a patriarch of Judaism. A popular version of the narrative holds that Gad, the seventh son of Jacob, had three sons who settled in present-day southeastern Nigeria, which is predominantly inhabited by the Igbo. Those sons, Eri, Arodi and Areli (as mentioned in the book of Genesis), are said to have fathered clans, established kingdoms and founded towns still in existence in southeastern Nigeria today, including Owerri, Umuleri, Arochukwu and Aguleri.


Eze A.E. Chukwuemeka Eri, the king of a community in Aguleri, claims he presides over the throne of Gad's son, Eri.

Wearing a white shirt with the Star of David stitched on the front, King Eri points to a calendar on the wall of his palace that lists the names of his 33 predecessors. He has no doubts that Eri is his ancestor. He has even acquired land to establish an educational center for the study of Jewish culture.

"Israelites and Igbos are brothers," he says with a broad smile.

King Eri, like many, claims that the Igbo are the Jews of West Africa. They believe they are descendants of at least one of Israel's lost tribes. In the eighth century B.C. the Assyrians invaded Israel's northern kingdom forcing 10 tribes into exile. Historians say it is not unlikely that these tribes migrated westward to Africa.
When I grew up I heard, like virtually every Igbo here, that the Igbo people came from Israel.
Remy Llona, Niegrian author and lawyer

Throughout history, large populations of dispersed Jews also became "lost" through forced conversions and cultural assimilation.

"There is evidence that is scientific that the Igbos descended from the people that evolved in Israel," says Remy Ilona. He began investigating the stories from his youth more than a decade ago.

"When I grew up I heard, like virtually every Igbo here, that the Igbo people came from Israel," the Abuja-based lawyer says. His field work in Nigeria, Chad, Niger and Mali led him to conclude that Igbo and Jewish culture are not just similar, but "identical."

o yea? Dis is the 21st century, when we have dna testing, carbondating, arceaological advancements, igbos can as well go deep into research and excarvations to back this claim up with blood evidence. Else this is the FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA, WITH THE GREEN WHITE GREEN FLAG( the most beautiful).

If baffles me when some isolated confused fellows try to dictate their opinion and choice to a set of people who holds alternative ideas or views.

If something is not a crime, it becomes foolish to condemn it outrightly.

I recall that when I bought my first car, it's flagship mascot was the Israeli flag entwined with the Nigerian flag. Solidarity with Israel and the Jews is one sure way (and shortcut cheesy) to God's blessings.
My people, I strongly encourage you to tap into this strategic move.

Ummm.... sorry to be the one to break this to you o, but if youre Christian the Jews consider you a heathen. The only other religion jews "recognize" outside of their own is Islam... go figure.

Oh, just so you know, Jesus was a Jew and not a christian. Dont believe me? Ask a Jew.

deandavid: I noticed a trend recently, i see some Nigerians having Isreal flag in their cars, not that its a crime, but am kind of interested, why do they do that? I even noticed it a pentecostal church altar. I have also seen a car sticker with the inscription "i am jew or a proud jew" why these sudden love for isreal? When i see that of U.S. being flown i ascribe it to because they are the world power, if britain maybe because they are our colonial masters, even some people do hang Ghana flag, probably because they are our neighbour, but isreal.... its too far abeg, so my question is why do Nigerians hang Israel's flag?


You are being hypocritical, if you were able to 'understand why people fly American and British flags but not the Israelis'. The reasons you gave for your so called 'understanding', were too flimsy. If I were to go by your process of reasoning, I am more likely to understand the reason behind flying of the Israelis' flag than that of any country, after all, Jesus Christ was born in Israel.
So, I see this post as a pathetic attempt to deride an ethnic group knowing fully well that a minority amongst the group traces their root back to Israel. We are not fooled. Shame on you!
