Jews And Igbos Are Of The Same Stock- Olauda Equiano (1798) by Nobody: 5:50am On Sep 13, 2019
The popular Israeli newspaper Haaretz notes that:

“Igbo have been grappling with Jewish identity and the color question for quite some time.

"In his popular autobiography Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, or Gustavus Vassa the African, first published in London in 1789, one finds Equiano, an Igbo, remarking on “the strong analogy” that “appears to prevail in the manners and customs of my countryman, and those of the Jews.”"

"Equiano points to circumcision, sacrifices, and purifications as examples of this resemblance, and concludes that the Igbo and Jews are of the same stock. “As to the difference of color between the Eboan [Igbo] Africans and the modern Jews, I shall not presume to account for it,” Equiano writes.”"

Recall that former US Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, has called Igbos the wandering Jews of Africa.

Stop this nonsense. If ibos where jews truly the state of Isreal would have acknowledged that just like they did with the Jews in Ethiopia and elsewhere. Jews have traced lineages back to hundreds of years back and Jews have the strongest bonding and cooperation among any group in this world.
With their advance in technology and medical sciences these people would have traced the lineage between ibos and jews if ever there was any. People need to stop being gullible and used.
