~THE SEAL OF SOLOMON CONNEXION~

From Wikipedia:
The Seal of Solomon (or Ring of Solomon ; Arabic : ﺧﺎﺗﻢ ﺳﻠﻴﻤﺎﻥ Khātam Sulaymān) is the signet ring attributed to King Solomon in medieval Jewish tradition and in Islamic and Western occultism . It was often depicted in either a pentagram or hexagram shape; the latter also known as the Star of David in Jewish tradition.
This ring variously gave Solomon the power to command demons, jinn (genies), or to speak with animals. Due to the proverbial wisdom of Solomon, his signet ring, or its supposed design, it came to be seen as an amulet or talisman , or a symbol or character in medieval and Renaissance-era magic, occultism , and alchemy.

If you are too keen in BIBLE reading, you would observe that GOD punished the People of Israel for worshipping the god of the Ammonites(Descendants of Canaan)–Saturn – in Amos 5:26 and Acts 7:43. Saturn was a god of the Canaanites with variants such as Chiun, Molech and Remphan.
The Star of Moloch was the same with the Seal of Solomon.
Coming to the "Igbo" angle, the first Nigerian flag and coin had that star on it. Wikipedia reads:




The colonial flag of Nigeria was adopted in 1914 following the amalgamation of Southern Nigeria and Northern Nigeria. It was first suggested by the first Governor-General of Nigeria, Sir Frederick Lugard as a symbol of the unification of Nigeria and because of the Seal of Solomon which was associated with the native
Igbo Jews. The Star of David had already been in use in Nigeria during the British rule because of the Igbo Jews who were featured on coins of the British West African pound . This was confirmed in the 1917 discovery of a bronze Star of David attributed to the Igbo Jews in Aguleri . The crest on the flag was also used on the flag of the Governor-General of Nigeria.


I don't think that star was adopted by the Igbos from the Israeli flag because the year of discovery of the Seal of Solomon in Igboland (erroneously referred to as Star of David) was 1917 and the Israeli flag was designed in 1948. It's obvious we had the star for centuries.


Could this mean that a branch of Israelites who adopted the star of Moloch during the time of Solomon migrated to Eastern Nigeria? Was this "star" [worshipped by the early Israelites –who migrated to Eastern Nigeria–] transferred from generation to generation until it was discovered in 1917 at Aguleri?
