Afam4eva: Pls, i'm not a jew but an IGBOTIC man. Calling ourselves Jews reeks of inferiority complex. Why can't the jews be called IGBOS.

Abi O grin

Jews ko Arabs ni. These people will never fail in entertaining us with their consistent and shallow misunderstanding of their own history. They just make it up as they go along, one day they are the Japan of Africa, the next day they are black Jews. Can an Ibo Intellectual if there are any on NL give us a precise and concise report about who the Igbos are?

I am tired of listening to all these crap-ABA is Japan, Nnnewi is Jerusalem, the next thing they will claim they are from China.

They seek to be Jews because they're unimpressed with their Lineage and History.

My Igbo friends, please get rid of this Mentality.

sCun: No! Those are trademarks of Yoruba people.
Add armed robbery, incèst, assasination, atm/online fraud and rapè to that long list.

Bros, forget the falsehoood. The crimes Igbo people commit have never been attributed to Jews since the history of the world. Or in the history of the world can you liken any Jew to the Ojukwu who's war strategy starved thousands of children and escaped to a neighboring country disguised as a woman. That is non-Jewish to me.

I am from Eastern Nigeria and I am Jewish, I had the honour of formerly converting to Judaism while I was out of the country and I know a number of Igbos in Nigeria and in Israel who practice Judaism and identify themselves as Jews.

Some Igbos believe that they are one of the lost tribe of ancient Israel as a result of the striking cultural similarities between the Igbo and Jewish cultures. For example, The Igbos are the only people in black West Africa who circumcise their male child on the 8th day after birth. The commandment of circumcision is a Biblical injunction and Igbos observed this practice even before the advent of the European expedition in West and and the coming of Christianity here.
There are other Igbo customs too that are very similar to Jewish customs. Over the years a number of Igbos who believe that they are descended from ancient Israel have embraced Judaism and started returning to Jewish practice (Judaism). and there are actually a handful of Jewish synagogues scattered across Nigeria.

Converting to Judaism under a recognized and legitimate Rabbinical court is one method of becoming fully Jewish. Personally I have been formerly converted by a Rabbinical Court and like other Jews in other part of the world I am recognized as a Jew irrespective of my colour and I am also eligible to migrate to Israel should I wish to since Israel was created as a homeland for the Jewish people and eagerly welcomes back home any Jew who chooses to live in Israel.

I am ashamed of my Igbo brothers. I can't believe that we as a tribe could associate ourselves with a tyrant nation like Isreal. It's such a shame.

Call me whatever, there are some crimes commited in this world that remain exclusive to those from the East of the Niger. Statistics tell it all. So please don't drag the Jews into this. They don't have the likes of Osisikanu, Otokoto, Derico, etc in their tribe.

We originated from the Jews but now in Africa, we mixed with y'all and now we are ''Nigerians''
