ezeagu: Igbo people are not going to live in Israel. Yes Igbo language is an admixture of Ancient Hebrew, the evidence is there. Our culture and indeed origin all point to Hebrew. Even our name Igbo sound like Hebrew. All we want is to build road and airport, wen we want and to our taste, without drama and opposition from Yoruba and Hausa, in our land. 5 Likes 1 Share |

hammerFC: Using a Hebrew dictionary, I checked Ada - false. I checked Agu - false. I checked Ahia - false. Everything there is a falsehood. Anybody that knows anything about linguistics knows it is impossible for 2 entirely seperately evolved languages to have commonalities. There is such a thing as language family. Igbo is a Niger-Congo language. Hebrew is a Semitic one. They are about as likely to have common vocabulary as a tiger can have cubs with a cow. Wherever you copied that from, the person that wrote it is a fraud and charlatan. 3 Likes |

Obi1kenobi: Try Ancient Hebrew. U need to conduct institutional level research not basic. We are going back over 2000 years of history and people. If Ika and Ikwere Igbo can be so different from Igbo, then dont expect the present Igbo to reveal itself to u as Hebrew precisely. That is impossible. |

Hebrew for starters for several centuries was a dead language which was revived by Zionists as the modern Israel was being founded. Jews in Europe spoke Yiddish.

pazienza: Israel is not an imperial power. Their entire foreign policy posture is defensive against outside threats and will be incapable of projecting their power internationally. Not to mention the colonial era is long gone. There is nothing Israel are capable of doing to help the Biafran cause. They can't help us diplomatically seeing as they themselves are an international pariah due to their occupation of Palestinian territories. In many UN motions and resolutions, only the US support them. Not even the US' close Western allies like the UK or Germany or France do. They can't send us weapons. That would violate Nigeria's territorial sovereignty and I can't see how they'll go looking for trouble of countries that didn't provoke them. More importantly, I'm struggling to understand the logic of our claiming a fraudulent identity that makes us a laughing stock under the belief Israel would somehow feel compelled to help us. Just because Nnamdi Kanu is a curiosity among a few Israeli media outlets doesn't mean the Israeli government have any interest in him and his madness (he's still spewing the "Jubrin" line). 2 Likes |

Ahi Ancient Hebrew Ahia Igbo The passage defined Ahi as u earlier claimed to mean brother but went further to explain that Ahi comes from Aki which means generous. The article expanciate that Ahi became the major economic, social and cultural system. Some sort of Trade Union with regulation on who should be accepted for membership. Adding that, the Ahi way of thinking flourished amongst the artisan, Each Trade had its own Ahi Association. In smaller towns they would either organise in groups of trades or all the trades would organise under the association.

Obi1kenobi: As much as I am pro Biafra, I don't get IPOB. They are moving with two tends that are counterproductive. The multiethnic agenda and the Jewish agenda. Both make Igbos a laughing stock. My point is, we don't have to distort our history for support . I rather not have Biafra than accept a Jewish heritage. Kanu said its Christianity that suppressed our Jewish religion. I say no, rather it suppressed Igbo traditional religion. The shrines in my village look nothing like the Jewish temples and synagogues 1 Like |

Obi1kenobi: People attach themselves to Super Eagles that have not gone any step further in 20 years internationally, even losing to countries that Aba is bigger than. People attach themselves to Chelsea, wasting time analyzing the squad as if their papa owns the team. People attach themselves to useless pastors, and apparently to Sai Baba crap and Atikulated crap.... Have you complained? Even the attachment to fake hair by almost all AFrican women now.... But as for the attachment to Israel, yes, that one is POSSIBLE and should not give you sleepless night. WHat if, that is, Israel or Hebrew people came from Igbo? What would you say about that? What if the value system is similar with them than with say FULANI or Yoruba? Kanu never denounced or modified his name and prays in Igbo language, unlike many of the main stream Christians in the ZOO..... Food for thought 5 Likes 1 Share |

Bede2u: So, we are actually not Jewish but have to claim it for allies? Jews claimed European only to avoid the Europeans from annihilating them all. Israel isn't fighting you, why lie to your children that they are Hebrews? In these fights, try are interested in what you will offer them. Jews don't want anything to do with blacks, they are more racist than whites. This whole claim embarrasses them |

Igbo people are not going to change their language or name. Igbo people are not going to change their religion but expect the Jewish amongst us to drastically increase. Igbo will naturally go back to dat which better define them. |

Banmeallday: We attach ourselves to Super Eagles cos they are Nigeria's representatives. Football support has nothing to do with winning or losing. People support European clubs for entertainment because they like football and every football lover must naturally be attracted to particular teams. People attach themselves to colonial religions because.......well, they've been taught from birth they'll go to hell if they don't believe in the Christian God or Allah. All of this is different from claiming a heritage that is not your own. To be a Jew is not just about religion (even though there are Jewish converts). It is an ancient identity inseparable from that of the Jewish people. Their history (slavery in Egypt, several conquests by their Persian and Arab neighbors, suppression and exile by the Romans, battles for Jerusalem by the Crusaders, the Ottomans, the extermination of 6 million Jews in the Holocaust etc) is not our history. Their accomplishments are not our accomplishments. Their nation is not our nation (Israel is not known for their racial tolerance). I feel embarrassed that people will sit down here in Nigeria to appropriate the history and heritage of an alien civilization. Fighting for Biafra should not have anything to do with inventing myths. That is an identity built on a lie. 4 Likes |

Is like our Igbo brother prefer islamisation from fulani to Judaism. Did anybdoy force u to Judaism? No! Islam is being positioned to take hold of Igbo land, in fact the middle belt are the ones holding islam off. That is y Buhari want to finish them so he can get to Igbo. If u guys prefer islam which i suspect some of u do, since u now answer muslim names in the north and claim muslim, then continue childish talk and one Nigeria and Presidency bullshit. 4 Likes 1 Share |
