See the level of hatred displayed on this thread, you would think it concerns them in any way. To know that one shares a geographical area with such specie of beings is really saddening. Tufiakwa!

I'm pretty sure you don't know where ur great grand parents immigrated from and you are on here with over bloated confidence yelling you know your roots smh

Yes I do, you don't want to know how much knowledge I possess about my root. Or do you?
Well the point I was trying to make with my early post was because some people think having a Jewish DNA is a gateway to recognition, we are already doing great forourselves as a people.
I rather preferred to be recognized as an Igbo without any "Jewish" attachment .
(I love Isreal as a nation, mind you).

so where did ur ancestors immigrate from ? Since you claim to know ur roots.. If ur ancestors were Jewish and you'd want to rather be recognized as Igbo without Jewish attachment , then u are denying ur bloodline, root, and ancestry.

Yes?? Why are you copying me? Do you really want me to take the comments of Ganiyat72 seriously? That IPOB youth that keeps masquerading as a female, self-hating, Yoruba muslim, whose comments are full of lies, pretence and deceit? Go through all his posts and see for yourself. In your own view, anyone who disagrees with the Igbo is automatically Yoruba, even if such a person is Gwari, Nupe, kataf, Kanuri, Ijaw, Annang, Efik, Bachama, Egun, Shere etc. Do you know how many times I have erroneously been called Yoruba on NL? Abeg, no waste my time biko. Call me when a sensible person decides to talk.

Na so?

Yes ... There's indeed a connection between the Igbo and the Jews. This will become clearer as time goes on.

G.T. Basden

Anglican Missionary G.T. Basden was so sure of the Igbos being of Israel he told coming missionaries to familiarize themselves with the Old Testament Law so as to better witness to the Igbo, because the Igbo lived like ancient Israelites. His superiors believed G.T. Basden’s reports that they instructed him and other missionaries not to tell this truth to the Igbo for fear of losing them to Judaism. In fact, the Anglican missionaries tried to teach them to stop observing many of their Jewish like practices and so the argument some have that the missionaries taught them how to live like Jews is absurd. Igbos clearly lived this way long before the white man or missionaries ever came to their shores.
