pazienza: I swearugad, u are really old here. I am surprised u didn't mention beaf, that guy was another brilliant stubborn nigger. Nairaland use to be very interesting, until nairaland got invaded by kids from Indomine generation. I can remember Onlytruth then was eze ndiigbo nairaland and was always there to settle disputes within the family and also rally igbos for counter attack ,when ndiAfonja began theirs and he also pleaded with us also to cease fire when necessary.... Lolz. Me sef I don dey for nairaland. I was here to read and get educated all the while. Nairaland became more bigoted and divided after ojukwu's death, which brought back the biafran question into mainstream and the role each and everyone played, and also escalated by Chinua Achebe's "There was a country", which made people dig and research more about the civil war, in addition to the politics of jonathan era. From then, the war between us and them escalated and it hasnt ceased. Over the years, with niaraland, Ndi Igbo have been able to trash most of the bigoted stereotypes and propagandas, propagated against us. Eg, igbos don't go to school, igbos are ritualist, igbos are not accommodating, the east is not developeded, most professors etc. I'm sure you all have noticed they don't say all those nonsense anymore. Facts, history, exposure and the internet have turned the table against them. They have the most out of school children in the south, they are the least developed outside Lagos in the south, they suffer hunger the most and are the poorest. Human Ritual, incest and sodomy is a daily occurrence in the west. We have the most graduates, university entrants and most doctorates and professor. We also have the most admitted into law, engineering, pharmacy and medicine. We have the most notable technocrats in all fields, we dominated every sector of the Nigerian socio economic space outside government or politics. Abeg 1 zillion likes for Ndi Igbo. We too much.

OreMI22: Mr man, better stop deceiving yourself. There are no "remnants" of Hebrew language in the Igbo language. None. Zero. Zilch. Nada. It's a figment of your delusion. Research has already linked far-flung groups of common origin together. Any black man in America or Latin America for example can trace his exact genetic links in Africa to a high degree of accuracy. Ashkenazi Jews that lived in Europe for thousands of years can track their roots, right down to what tribe in Israel they come from and some have even linked with their precise family tree despite leaving Israel thousands of years ago. Igbo people are genetically identical with other Southern, Niger-Congo tribes in Nigeria. What I still don't get is why not claim Jews are descended from you? That might even make more sense - despite the fact it would also be unsubstantiated rubbish. Why claim that you are a Jew if not because of your inferiority complex, because you think they are superior to your black ass? Why not allow Jews claim that they are descended from you? Why attach yourself to an alien race far smaller than you in population?
No, sir. It doesn't cut anybody's intestines. Your Jew-claiming fraud doesn't hurt anyone other than Ndigbo. Nobody is impressed by you claiming a fraudulent heritage. They simply laugh at you. Your comment only proves that Jew-claimers do it because they think claiming to be Jews elevates them over other black ass niggas. It's driven by ignorance, or inferiority complex or both. The fact remains though that you're Igbo, as were your ancestors. You're not a Jew, you were never a Jew and you'll never be a Jew. Be proud of your Igbo heritage and cure yourself of you inferiority complex. 5 Likes |

[s] Obi1kenobi:[/s] You are clearly being mischievous. Please prove to me that your Oduduwa fell from heaven or that he is even a yoruba at all? You cannot prove it scientifically , just as it cannot be proven easily that Igbo migrated from Israel, yet it is a fact.Your ignorant assumption that the age-long association of Igbo culture with hebrew culture just started with NK or IPOB is unfortunate. Again, let me tell you that this predates the birth of NK or even his father. That tells you how long ago this topic has been researched. If i marry a Yoruba today, our offspring will be genetically similar to yoruba does not mean that the grand parents were not Igbos. Several years of inter-marriages could have made Igbo look genetically similar with other Africans as they migrated from the middle east to the present Igboland. Now the language affinity is one way to go by it because language is transferred from generation to generation. Although languages evolve in their use and expression over time, they still retain what certain items mean. The Igbo language and culture retains great similarity with hebrew language and key elements of the culture despite the great distance between Israel and Igboland. Yet, Igbo language has nothing in common with Yoruba language and culture despite the relative closeness to Yorubaland? Ask yourself to explain that scientifically. 4 Likes 1 Share

Yet anothe coincidence. Ada means Adornment or 'beautiful ornament in Hebrew.'? Wat do Igbo mean by Adanma? Adanma means 'beautiful first daughter' Adanna means daddy first daughter. The Hebrew tradition denotes that the name Adah means beautiful ornament or Adornment. Traditionally the hebrew use the name Ada to reference first daughter like the biblical Adam reference first man. It is a girls name Further, in hebrew tradition the name ADA is used for female to reference first daughter. This is gotten from the biblical Adam which references the First man.

Ezer(Hebrew) or Eze(Igbo) is the one i find most intriguing. Usages of 'ezer in the Old Testament show that in most cases God is an 'ezer to human beings, which calls to question if the word "helper" is a valid interpretation of 'ezer in any instance it is used. "Evidence indicates that the word 'ezer originally had two roots, each beginning with different guttural sounds. One meant "power" and the other "strength. https://godswordtowomen.org/ezerkenegdo.htm |

OreMI22: The comedian is still posting this useless fabrication that I have debunked again and again. You can consult any of the thousand Hebrew dictionaries online like this one: https://www.doitinhebrew.com/Translate/default.aspx?kb=US+US&l1=en&l2=iw Not one single word there is correct. A lion is not called "Agur" in Hebrew. A first daughter is not called "Adah" in Hebrew. A market is not called "Ahi" in Hebrew. Every single word there is a fraud by fraudsters and gullible people like you eat it up because you cannot research, do not have the wisdom to discern what is credible and what is not, and are overwhelmed by your desperation to attach yourself to people that you believe to be far superior to you. You would find several actual common words between Igbo and Yoruba, with similar contexts in meaning even though they are fairly distant cultures. Yet, you don't go around claiming to be Yoruba. Not one single word in this list of garbage is Hebrew. Else, bring the Hebrew dictionary where you saw it. 2 Likes

OreMI22: I don't give 2 shiits about Oduduwa. At least, Yorubas are not claiming to descend from Jews. The Oduduwa story is no less silly than the Bible creation story. You cannot prove something scientifically, yet you still call it a "fact"? You see yourself? Who ever said The Jew-claiming nonsense started with Kanu and IPOB. Those moorons took it to a whole new level, but the claim has been with many ignorant Igbos for decades. Decades since Christianity spread through Igbo land. Without the colonialists bringing Christianity to Igbo land, no efulefu would be claiming to be Jews. You wouldn't even know that Jews exist.
If you are genetically identical to all your Niger-Congo neighbors, then common sense should tell you you're just a black ass nigga like them. Jewish people intermarried with white people (Ashkenazi Jews) and Arabs, Persians, North Africans, Southern Europeans etc (Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews), but their identity for thousands of years of mixing with those people has always been unmistakably distinct. Their DNA profile and genetic roots are clear. They had their own languages, had their own names, maintained their religion, maintained their Jewish traditions, they celebrated their Jewish feasts, they kept their Jewish calendars, they studied their Jewish scripture. They were unmistakably Jewish. You are not, have never been and will never be. You're a fuccking black ass nigga. Your language is a Niger-Congo one that has zero relationship with Semitic languages. Your ancestors were polytheist pagans before colonialism. Your ancestors did not have one single relic of Jewish ancestry. Nothing. No archaeological links. No linguistic links. No genetic links. Nothing. Igbos do not even have a common root as studies have shown different clans have different origins and migrational routes. Stop deluding yourself. Repeat it until it sinks into your head: you're a black ass nigga and your ancestors were never Jews and you'll never be a Jew however much you dream. Be proud of your culture and be proud of your roots and stop claiming to be what you're not due to your inferiority complex. If you had an atom of pride, you'd let others claim to be you, and you would not be claiming a fraudulent, non-existent link. 4 Likes |

So, here is what I have learned from these Israel-lovers: Nri people are at the center of the Jew shinama. Well, I guess that settles it. We now know who the Jews are in Igbo and they are Nri. Now, since we also know that many many Igbo groups claim zero ancestral affiliation with Nri, it is safe to say that the majority of Igbo have nothing to do with the Jews. So, a simple proposal is in order. Nri people should speak only about themselves. If they are ashamed of their Igala ancestry, then that is their own problem. They should leave the rest of us out of their BS. 1 Like |

hammerFC:Before Saul/David era, Isreal had no king. What they had was "Judges" who are circumstantial leaders who rise to solve a pressing national problem. This was akin to igbo society without centralized government. Originally this was God's plan for them but they later asked for a king and Samuel (the last Judge) was particularly angry about this. When the monarchy was firmly established by David there was rebellion against Rehoboam , David's grandson, who insisted on carrying on with Solomon's heavy taxes. This lead to break up into northern and southern kingdoms. Igbos generally have this attitude of rebellion against oppressive regime |
