Freewilly, wad up girl. your right. just another attention seeking, brain dead hater. who dash monkey computa? 

the funniest part is that he's so hurt that he went out of his way to write all that shyt because he thinks he's hurting me. Bull shyt!! lol!!! Well, evidently, you don't know me so whatever you've said is out of the anger you have from me schooling your slow behind. AND EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT!! and i've concluded from what you have displayed on Nairaland that you're a brain-dead baffoon (AND EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT) that is not worth any response and i'm sure most people on here would agree. All this talk of incest and molestation is making me conclude that you were sexually abused as a child and it has severely affected you up till now. but i won't sit here and laugh at you for that because it would be wrong. but instead, i will sympathize with you until you recuperate because whatever happened to you aint your fault.

b.t.w----> a yellow bus is (usually) a school bus in America, so aint nothing wrong with riding one. But perhaps, you meant a "Short" yellow bus. Now that's for mentally challenged kids like yourself. but i will never make fun of the mentally challenged because it's very wrong, but i will advise you to leave the computer and try to catch that bus next time it rolls by your stop.

tha idiot can't even name five places apart from Nigeria that Igbos originated from. Damned tribalist. Empty vessels like yourself are famous for making nothing but noise.

Donzman:

Ethiopians business sense?. . .Let me just take it you're joking.

I'm Igbo and I'm not light skinned, I assume I jumped on to the train when they were rolling past Sudan!

Nonsense!

lmao!!! ok. my sides are hurting now.

damn, the loose feathered black snake strikes again. Now you claim i'm seeking attention from you two nameless twigs? what good does your attention do me? the only service you would have to offer me is for you to use your 32 teeth(assuming they're all intact) to clean my shaft. And of course there is nothing wrong with riding the yellow bus to school, it's for the dummy retarded like yourself. Either way you try to flip it, it doesn't matter because it is where you belong soooo totally your portion. Unfortunately I feel for you, and I will continue to pray for you. If only your mother was able to satisfy your daddy's needs in bed he wouldn't have gone ahead raping you and making you feel it's ok to do so, you and I who's hurt, ehn bullshyt. Asslicker, I'm not the one here crying because somebody said Igbos originate from ethiopia, you're the one inventing river benue in your bedroom because the ethiopians want to stake a claim to your dearly beloved Nigerian origination so continue crying biko nu. Hush little baby don't you cry, everything's gonna be alright. To top it all off for lack of a better come back you decided to steal my word and you couldn't even spell it correctly umm baffoon abi wetin you call am? wetin be baffoon? you meant buffoon right you stupid lesbian clown? sorry, the refridgerated sperm your daddy has been feeding you all these years are now slowly affecting the most effective side of your brain causing you to think like an agama lizard. continue licking freewilly's Arrow, it might cure you from your jaundice mwaaah.

east africa and its vicinity is the cradle of man if that is what u meant.
i do think ibos and jews have similarities too.

@kobe
nitwit!!

ghettochyk:

Yup, I guess i shuda read this before my previous post. now i know that i'm actually dialoging with an MRDD slowpoke. jeez. i really gotta stop doing that. now i know who not to take his/her post for shit. whenever i see your posts now, i know it was written by a retarded bastard.

I give the same advice to the other sane folks of Nairaland.

k0be:

awwwwww, MRDD slowpoke, look I'm going to cry now. lololol is that all you've got mongrel?
I don't think daddy gave you your nightly exercise last night, otherwise you would have woken up today feeling much better you stupid poltroon.
In the meantime, if you need the injection that you failed to receive from your dad last night, kindly call me up, and I'll be willing to supply a load of cream to your mouth; tell your other sisters to wait in line for their turn.

Mate, that's out of order. Don't you guys realise that kids read these forums too?  Not good at all! You don't have to like your fellow Nairalanders, but, can't you at least keep the sexually explicit / incestous remarks out?

@romeo

Oji m adighi ka nke ndi darfur oh!

kobe, ghettochyk - Have you two met before? When did it start to go wrong?

For all the Igbos here? Do you consider yourself to be originally from Ethiopia? How does this affect you?

why would we consider ourselves ethiopians. we are nigerians first before anything else.

Which would explain their relatively light skin complexion and business sense. What say you. They are not indigenous to Nigeria.

i hate it when people try to use the excuse that the reason why igbos look better than the whole of africa is because we are mixed with something. they say we are white, or isreali and now ethiopian. can't someone look good or be light without being mixed?

damn niggas hate been black.

i didnt mean ibos are similar to jews in terms of color. i meant in terms of business acumen/aggressive about obtaining material things and being tight fisted.

youngdices, u 'r right on point. Is so sad that we tend to disown our own. How many times have heard the asians claim anything else even when they are born and breed in Africa or is it the indians that some of them look black but yet they stand by their own.

YOUNGDICE$:

damn niggas hate been black.

igbos are all JEWS, the lost tribe of isreal: eri and aro

doncnn:

igbos are all JEWS, the lost tribe of isreal: eri and aro

and you think it is a good thing. Jews are the most maligned race in the world. i wonder why you don't claim to be caucasians or maybe Inuit!

R dey nt from Malawi?

please, please please, I beg all you Igbo people looking for where they originate be a proud and smart about their origin. I am a proud Igbo man and feel insulted when someone suggests we have to go all the way to ethiopia or where ever, can you believe some one even suggesting that we originate some where in europe. Listen ethiopians, european arabians originated form africa, may be from Igbo land yoruba land or hausa land and not the other way round. I include everyone in nigeria because I believe that some how we are all the same. You do know that the word IGBO is actually a yoruba word. Some how through time we and especially yorubas must have had some ties may be as friend or enemies but it does show some relationship.

Remember that the Igbo culture If you care to research has so many things in common with jewish traditions. And has a very sophisticated method of government. As some in the west say Igbos are a naturally democratic people. What it took the west (i mean the white) may centuries to do, the igbo man has done for God knows how long. Almost a true democratic Government where to get any thing done the Igwes council had to vote. You can liken that to the senate or house of Reps. Think and imagine how sophisticated our ancestors had to be. "Igbo enwe eze". Now that is some serious shit.

And again Israel is a lost tribe of the igbo people.  remember again civilization started in africa.  so all you brain washed africans that think that being light skinned in any way make you better in any form, I have to tell you that african is a black continent so the blacker the more african so all you bufoons who want to be light skinned should please leave our black land.    Every day I pray that some day my fellow africans will wise up and look past the brain washing our colonial masters handed over to us making us feel inferior because we are dark skinned. Please black africans wise up.
Each time when you say or even believe that lighter is better you are actually helping the white man succeed even further, brainwash brainwash and more brainwash.  One of the missions of the white man was to conquer us by setting us against each other, thereby getting his wish and being the mediator and then taking advantage.  DIVIDE AND RULE.  SO PLEASE AFRICANS AGAIN WISE UP.  This is how they made away with millions of our ancestors during the transatlantic slave trade.  setting one tribe against the other.  and depriving us of a great work force which consequently spelt the down fall of our beloved continent.  West africa and nigeria was one of the hardest hit areas.  Imagine taking away adults between the 18 and 50 in the united states do you thing they will still be dominant.
THOSE WICKED BASTARDS.

don't mind the starter of this thread. i'm surprised he hasn't logged on in a while. he's not even nigerian but from east africa. if you look around NL, you'll see that he's always talking about nigerians this, igbo that. he also claimed that east africans are lighter and prettier than west africans and that igbo people think they are white. he has a problem from were he comes from so he tries to but his miesery on us. do like i do, ignore stupid comments.

D author is a scammer, People jst come post topics n tear

Igbos or what ever, I don't think that any tribe in Nigeria is from Ethiopia origenly, sorry but that is the truth.

Come to think of it, I remember back in my Uni days, a group of Eritreans started to speak to me in their language. When I couldn't reply, they asked me where I was from and I said Nigeria. They told me that vthere was a particular tribe in Eritrea that resembled me. There was another guy from Eritrea who I used to talk to, he later told me he thought I was Eritrean. My older sisters get the same thing, people think they are East African. Its no biggie since we are from the same continent. I don't understand what all the anger is about on this subject, aren't Ethiopians Africans and Black?

There have been migrations within Africa for centuries. At the end of the day, its just a suggestion, noone is trying to kill anyone, lol.

Come to think of it, my friend who is Jamaican conducted a DNA test to find her roots, she ended up originating from Mozambique. her people had migrated from there to West Africa before the slave trade. It goes to show that we know very little about intra African migrations before the slave trade.

Where ever the Igbos are from, we are proud Africans. Theres is really no need to be overly emotional about someones thought.

I know that Somalians look like us and we share history and landmass and bloodline together, even thouth we have our cultural differences.
But saying some tribes in Nigeria are from Ethiopia or the Horn of Africa is some thing that we Ethiopians don't blieve. We have a long history that goes back before the birth of jesus, and our histoty is written and intact, and there is no mention of any tribes that migrated from Ethiopia to Nigeria or West Africa.

@Ethioguy, noone is saying it is fact, but it is a possibility. Whether Ethiopians or Igbo's accept that possibility is totally irrelevant. You yourself know that not all Ethiopians look the same or look stereotypical. I have no clue whether the suggestion is true, but I know its fact that I've been told there is a tribe in Eritrea that resemble me, I take the word of Eritreans that its true. Does it mean there is a connection, not necessarily. Does it mean that further investigation should be made, maybe.

Its not that big of a deal and I wouldn't want to upset any Ethiopians by suggesting that they could possibly be connected with West Africans, let alone Nigerians. I know that would devastate far too many and I wouldn't want to make anyone feel dirty.

, error post.

have u not realised that Igbos are from everywhere. They are located everywhere unless the cannibals there are non Igbos

What difference does it freakin make?
We all Black in the end anyways.
And that's kinda funny cuz in another post one dude said that Igbos are descendants of like Isrealis and Egyptians and shit like that.
The thing is just so funny and ridiculous!

What the hell have Igbo people done for anything i look my tribe i see someone insulting us especially in this Nairaland.

Igbo people ARE NOT from Ethiopia. Never was and never will be.

Some Igbo people are Jewish. I just recently read about them but that shit doesn't mean we all are jewish cause my ass ain't one and neither is my parents.

Seriously what the hell? IGBO people are lightskin, we get that. Now move on to the next thing. For God sake there are more things to discuss than Igbos being lightskin, last i remember we all aren't lightskin.  i'm brownskin myself, ain't ligthskin but in between.

And no, we are not mixed or any of those shit you idiots are saying.  WE ARE 100% BLACK.
There are Igbo people mixed with OTHER AFRICAN TRIBES/COUNTRIES but Ethiopia ain't one of them.

There's no trace of us being mixed with them.  There's trace of igbo people being mixed with other WEST, CENTRAL AND EAST African but Ethiopia wasn't ONE OF THEM

Quotes from wikipedia
According to several sources, Igbo people evolved over a long period of 4000 BC to 500 AD in Igboland through waves of migrations.[20] There is evidence that the ancestors of Igbo and most of their neighbors were the proto-Kwa group. This ancient group came from the African Great Lakes and Mountains of the moon of East/Central Africa

We are from IGBOLAND. and the last time i checked igboland is in Nigeria. So abeg with this guessing.
Our ancient ancestors are from East and Central just like other tribes in Nigeria.
Hell we are Proto-Kwa.(whatever the hell that is) and Ethiopians are Cushites(we are NOT the same people)
Igbo people are lightskin cause we are lightskin so enough.

@ the Hausa girl;
Hausa people are not from Ethiopia. Your ancestors are from Sudan and Chad (East region of both country). That's where they traced hausa's blood to just like Fulani and Turgae tribe.

Yet again. Indi Igbo.

Ogini?? Tata we are from Ethopia, nwanne echi we are from Egypt, what next?? Probably Mars.

Ndi Igbo ekene m unu O! Ebe obuna anyi si, Nigeria bu "Ebe anyi no' .

African-Americans aka (Akatas) are an estamated 60% Igbo descent.

Garbage.

Elody-Ann's words are just a bit off target though not too far out of scale. There are several distinct Sabian branches in which exist throughout Africa, and two of the most notable are the Amhara and Tigrean of Ethiopia who's descendants migrated into Ethiopia from present day Yemen, another nation with a well known stock of Sabian descendants. The original population of Igbo are descendant from the tail end of the Nile, on the eastern end of the Nile Delta, a well known area in were a rather large group Sabian descendants settled. So in a way some Ethiopians and Igbo are distantly related.

Kenezi:

Garbage.

Well, if you think of well documented and proven history as garbage, then that's your prerogative.
