Igbo Are They Truly Of Jewish? Lets See How That Has Been Debunked by AmuDimpka: 8:15pm On Aug 16, 2018 |
Some Jewish Traditions of Ndigbo -Jews are Igbos & Igbos are Hebrew *BIBLICAL TRADITIONS OF IGBOS BEFORE THE MISSIONARIES CAME TO AFRICA* IGBO 101. By Nwanyikaibeya Yaro *1. NSO NWANYI* In Igboland women live apart from their husbands and neither cook for them or enter their husband's quarters when they are in their period. They are seen as unclean. Even up till today such practice is still applicable in some parts of Igboland especially by the traditionalists. Before a woman can enter the palace of Obi of Onitsha, she will be asked if she is in her period, if yes, she will be asked to stay out. *Leviticus 15: 19-20* When a woman has her monthly period, she remains unclean, anyone who touches her or anything she has sat on becomes unclean. *2. ANA OBI* An Igbo man's ancestral heritage, called “Ana Obi” is not sellable, elders will not permit this. If this is somehow done due to the influence of the West the person is considered a fool and is ostracized by the community. *1 king 21:3* I inherited this vineyard from my ancestors, and the Lord forbid that I should sell it, said Naboth. *3. IKUCHI NWANYI* Igbos have practiced the taking of a late brother's wife into marriage after she had been widowed until the white men came. Now it is rarely done but except in very rural villages. *Deuteronomy 25:5* A widow of a dead man is not to be married outside the family; it is the duty of the dead man's brother to marry her. *4. IGBA ODIBO* In Igboland, there is a unique form of apprenticeship in which either a male family member or a community member will spend six(6) years (usually in their teens to their adulthood) working for another family. And on the seventh year, the head of the host household, who is usually the older man who brought the apprentice into his household, will establish (Igbo: idu) the apprentice by either setting up a business for him or giving money or tools by which to make a living. *Exodus 21:2* If you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve you for six years. In the seventh year he is to be set free without having to pay you anything. *5. IRI JI OFUO* In Igboland , the yam is very important as it is their staple crop. There are celebrations such as the New yam festival (Igbo: Iri Ji) which are held for the harvesting of the yam. New Yam festival (Igbo: Iri ji) is celebrated annually to secure a good harvest of the staple crop. In the olden days it is an abomination for one to eat a new harvest before the festival. It's a tradition that you give the gods of the land first as a thanksgiving. *Deuteronomy 16:9* Count 7 weeks from the time that you begin to harvest the crops, and celebrate the harvest festival to honor the lord your God, by bringing him a freewill offering in proportion to the blessing he has given you. Celebrate in the Lord's presence together with your children, servants, foreigners. Be sure that you obey my command, said the Lord. *6. IBE UGWU* In Igboland it's a tradition that the male children are circumcised on the 8th day. This tradition is still practiced till date. *Leviticus 12:3* On the eighth day, the child shall be circumcised. *7. OMUGWO* In Igboland, there is a practice known as "ile omugwo ". After a woman has given birth to a child, a very close and experienced relative of hers, in most cases her mother is required by tradition to come spend time with her and her husband. During which she is to do all the work of the wife, while the new mom's only assignment to the baby will be to breastfeed. This goes on for a month or more. In the Igbo old tradition, at this time, the new mom lives apart from her husband, would not cook or enter his quarters. *Leviticus 12:1-4* For seven days after a woman gives birth, she is ritually unclean as she is during her monthly period. It will be 33 days until she is ritually clean from the loss of blood; she is not to touch anything that is holy. NDOZI ODINALA. |

We are in the new testament to start with, I can't grab any of this barbaric culture exhibited just to force one self as Jewish. Then again what do Igbo's really want? 1. One Nigeria? 2. Fulani but PDP? 3. No Fulani? 4. Referendum? 5. Biafra? 6. Jewish Nation? 4 Likes 1 Share |

Igbos are a Niger-Congo group with zero historical or archaelogical/anthropological or genetic or linguistic link to any group in the Levant, including the Jews. There is not a shred of evidence Igbos ever even reached the Sahara desert, talk more of sailing the Mediterranean. It shames me when many Igbos make this claim because it's driven by either gullible acceptance of charlatans that peddle this myth, or an inferiority complex to attach ourselves to what we perceive to be a superior culture in the Jews: as if being Igbo is not good enough and we have to be Jewish too. That is why you see many efulefus carrying Israel flag about among Igbos. Stop poisoning yourselves and your children with these falsehoods and shaming your ancestors with fake Jewish links. There is absolutely zero evidence of any link between Jews and Igbos. Palestinians are Semites like Jews, with thousands of years of historical, cultural and genetic links with Jews that makes them basically cousins, and even Palestinians don't fuccking claim to be Jews. Isn't it embarrassing for some black ass niggas in West Africa to be making such a claim? 4 Likes 1 Share |

Obi1kenobi: This claim is unfortunately been championed and propagated by mostly Anambra folks and another false claim that Nri bu isi Igbo is a lie from pit of hell.I can't understand how a migrant will claim to be the father of indigenous people. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

All of the posters above even with Igbo names debunking this are Afonjas. Then makes you wonder, what is their business with this? What did Igbos do to these people to have such envy and hate? 1 Like |
