Origin of the Igbo
The origin of the Igbo people is dated back to the patriarchal Eri. Eri was the fifth son of Gad. He was the grandson of Jacob and settled in medieval West Africa in the 9th century (948 A.D.).

Eri’s influence led to the establishment of the Umuleri, Aguleri, and Nri kingdoms in the South Eastern Region of present-day Nigeria.

However, the Atlantic slave trade, which took place from the 16th to the 19th centuries, significantly impacted the Nri Kingdom and its decline. The vast majority of enslaved Africans transported to the New World were West Africans, including numerous Igbos.

It is estimated that about 12 million Africans were shipped across the Atlantic by various European countries, including Portugal, Britain, France, Spain, the Dutch Empire, and the United States.

The British colonization of various African kingdoms, including the Igbo kingdom of Nri, in 1914 further impacted the Igbo people and their cultural heritage. The Nri kingdom was amalgamated into modern-day Nigeria.

The present-day Igboland covers the geographical area of the southeastern states of Nigeria, including Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo.

There are also settlements of Igbo communities in Rivers, Delta, and traces of the Igbo language in Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Benue, and Cross Rivers States.

So the grandson of Jacob who lived before 1000 BC was still alive by 948 AD. SMH. I’m still praying for the day you people will turn your brains on and realise how stvpeed these claims are.
