People should stop playing on the collective emotions of the Igbos, he who excludes us has more to regret, Government is turn by turn but even at that Lucky Eluonye Onyenuchea Irabor is an Ika man, an Igboid community in Delta.

There is nothing like Delta Igbo any longer, all of Igboland is one, Congratulations Irabor and the rest should stop trying to make the Igbos feel left out, our security challenge is peculiar and those who need service chiefs should have them.

This is President Buharis presidency, 2023 we are working for an Igbo president, when it is our turn nobody should complain, that's when you will understand that Igbos are majority and not just majority but majority Christian.

We never expected that Buhari will pet us anyway so, it is a welcome development but Igbos if we feel bad let us all prepare for 2023, non of the current politian will represent Igbos come 2023, we are leaving APC and PDP if they fail to give Igbos presidential ticket let's start a regional party in the East with Eastern Youths majority.

So now I hope my people understands that this is the turn of the Fulanis, let them do with power what they wish, it is only temporal let's concentrate on building a better Igboland.

Rubbish he should go and contests for governorship election in Edo State by representing Bini .

His Eminence, Eze Bernard Onyenguzo Enweremadu, the traditional head of Ngwa land in Abia State and monarch of Ngwaukwu Ancient Kingdom is dead. Aged 77.
His first son and Crown Prince of Ngwaukwu, Rt Hon Christopher Enweremadu, broke the sad news on Sunday in a statement made available to journalists in Umuahia. According to him, the late highly revered monarch died peacefully, adding that plans for his burial will be announced in due course.
The late monarch, who was the second traditional ruler to serve as Chairman, Abia State Council of Traditional Rulers after the creation of the state in 1991, was the head of Ngwa ethnic nationalities, made of seven local government areas of Abia State.

He was outspoken and full of wisdom as he dished out Igbo nay Ngwa proverbs in his speeches with relish. He was conferred with numerous local, national and international awards while alive.

He was crowned King in 1976 in the Old Imo State. Sources close to his Palace said he underwent a major surgery at an undisclosed hospital in Abuja the Federal Capital Territory, but could not survive the surgery.

The late monarch is survived by 13 wives and many children and grand children, amongst whom is Rt Hon Christopher Enweremadu, former Speaker, Abia State House of Assembly.

Last night when the news of his death was officially broken, sympathizers began to pour into the Palace at Ngwaukwu to empathize with the family. Amongst the early callers were the Deputy Governor, Ude Oko Chukwu PhD; Chairman, Abia State Council of Traditional Rulers, HRM Eze Ndubuisi Nwabeke and others.

RIP EZE of Ngwa UKWU.

ChinenyeN:




Ngwa was never a kingdom. All of this HRM/HRH and “Imperial Magesty” is the result of interaction with the British. When they came to Ngwaland, they assumed there was a king (since they came from a monarchy themselves).

When they couldn’t find a monarch, the British appointed Ananaba of Obegu “King of Ngwa” in the late 1800s. They did it for various reasons, but ultimately, they wanted something they could relate to. In effect, they ended up importing the some of the ideas of kingship into Ngwa. Ananaba’s time came and went, then the Warrant Chief era ended. It took however many more years until Ikonne was acknowledged as “Enyi I of Aba” and became the first of the modern “traditional rulers” in Ngwaland. Then Nigeria started acknowledging the use of “HRM” or “HRH” with traditional rulers, then Ikonne started calling himself “Imperial Majesty”.

Honestly, you can tell Ngwa culture did not have a paramount ruler when you look at the etymology of some words and expressions and you look at the dynamics and settlement patterns of various Ngwa townships.

Prior to the European-imported kingship, the word “eze” actually had two different meanings in Ngwa. The original meaning referred to anyone that had his or her own property (like owning compound). “Eze” was, originally, anyone who did not have to rely on their parents/kinship unit for livelihood and sustained themselves in their own homestead; a man or woman of means.

In that time, the “Onye Nnwe Ala” was the customary expression for someone who was a village or clan head; not “Eze”. The Onye Nnwe Ala were the customary custodians of the local culture and communal worship. When Isuama started migrating down into the area, they introduced a new meaning of “Eze” as the “chief priest” (of a particular deity). Ngwa adopted the expression “Eze Muo” (later “Eze Ala”) alongside Onye Nnwe Ala, since most Onye Nnwe Ala officiated the local communal ritual practices.

The Warrant Chief period transformed the meaning of Eze into “King” in the “kingdom” sense. Now we have so many autonomous kingdoms that never existed before. “Traditional rulership” isn’t even inheritable in Ngwaland and this is the remnant of the Warrant Chief practice.

Ewneremadu is even the “Ezeukwu I” of Ngwa Ukwu while communities like Ntigha were already on their “Gwugwuga III” by the 1990s; and Ugwunagbo on its “Ezeala III” by 1970s.

I will concede that due to the Nkpe and Ala ceremonies in northern Ngwa, there is the vague notion that the “Eze Ala” of Ukwu is “the paramount ruler of Ngwaland”. However, this is dynamic is particular to northern Ngwa and was conceived of as the solution to the constant conflict between Ukwu and Umuoha communities. Southern Ngwa (though sharing an Ngwa identity) does not recognize a paramount ruler. Many southern Ngwa village-groups were settled before the resolution between Ukwu and Umuoha was reached. So the Nkpe ritual is not re-enacted by them and it is also why southern Ngwa village-groups do not hold any of the Ofo Asuto.

Long story short, Ngwa was never a kingdom and it does not have a paramount ruler, but thanks to the British and the colonial/Warrant Chief system, the idea was successfully introduced.

Chinenye I agree with you on the number (1) but I don't quite understand were your coming from in your statement in number (2), because from my research and understanding the system of a priest to a particular deity has always been well established as a part of Ngwa culture which is as old as Ngwa culture. Such system occupied by specific priest know as Dibia AFA and this Dibia stuff in Ngwa land function like this,

1) Ordinary Dibia ------ this are people or someone who learn it through apprenticeship inwhich he or she will now be able to treat people's sickness.

2) Dibia from Father/Mother to his or her Child---
This type of Dibia's are mostly those that are specialized which are Dibia okpokpor, Dibia Anya, Dibia Omumu Nwa, Dibia ahuokuh (sickness).

3) Here is another set of Dibia's that are similar to those of number 2 but are higher than number 2 when it comes to spirituality eg this Dibia's are always involved in Ichu ajah la hie nmuo and other spiritual things like different kinds of Ehihi spiritual stuff/ nsi la ajah (Dibia otiaka/otinkumah) etc, this Dibia's know by some particular title/name which are if the person is a female she will be know as Eze Nwayi but if the person is a male/man he will be know as Eze Nwokoh.

4) Dibia AFA -------- this one is a spiritual gift/system which is somehow complicated and complex at the same time because this works as an upgrade for the Dibia's in number 3 inwhich some of those Oye Nnwe Ăla in Ngwa land And some of Nde Isi Opahra (First son's) can also upgrade their portfolio by becoming a Dibia but what makes this number 4 different is the AFA language which is the language of the spirit and of our ancestors, I really don't know how much you know about Igbo cosmology/spirituality well i also like add more to the Eze Ala, Which is that Eze Ala is more than the title itself it is a name of the Igbo earth goddess who is the same as Eke and this Eke is the same Eke we have in the name Chineke or Chi na Eke kere uwa la ojuju ya and also Nne miri/ osimiri inwhich the are all but the manifestation of Nne Chiukwu. Our Ngwa ancestor's understands this things about Eze Ala and Ala the earth goddess that's why they name their first settlement ---- Okpu ala ---- Ngwa inwhich they consecrated the land and dedicated to Ala the earth goddess.

5) The Isuama people that you mentioned are they the present day villages and communities in Ngwa land that answers Owerri as the name of their village/community and also those that answers Urâtă as the name of their village and community. The Isuama cultural groups of both Imo State and Abia State are know for their Ikenga stuff so I'm surprised like the way you said it concerning the Eze nmou stuff inwhich I will say it like this instead of introducing their well know Ikenga culture to Ngwa land instead they introduce the Eze nmou stuff like you said concerning Eze nmou Which I found very surprised.

Don't mind him and his present day Ijaw tribal concepts, we can't stop speak of our past/history because present day Ijaw nationalist, like Igbos------- example------ Ukwa Ngwa Cultural geographical area also played important roles in the shaping of the so called Ijaw eg.

I see that this cave is a gateway between the spirit realm and the physical realm. I see many visit there to worship and appeal for power from the dark forces. I see some of our politicians there as well. I see that ondo state is blessed with physical and spiritual resources. This I have seen.

Why most is it be dark forces.

Ekealterego:
I need your contributions and thoughts too.


Apart from Chukwu Okike (God the creator) Igbos also believed that there is "a fallen Angel", which is consistent with Judaistic beliefs. People who wanted to do evil or mischief went to him. In the bible, the "fallen angels" is Satan. In Igbo cultures in the past, they also believe the "fallen angels" to be Satan. They call it Kamallo or Igwikalla".

Read the excerpt below:

No need to contribute on such ridiculous article you posted Which is nothing but a from a devious historians/anthropologists.

Nazgul:
Good morning and happy Sunday. This question has really been bothering me cos we've been made to believe that once a person dies, he'll either go to heaven or hell. But the Bible is saying something totally different.

Let's observe these three scriptures.

1Thessalonians 4:16-17
King James Version
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.


Revelation 20:13-15
13 [a]And the sea gave up her dead, which were in her, and death and hell delivered up the dead, which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

14 [b]And death, and hell were cast into the lake of fire: this is the second death.

15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life, was cast into the lake of fire.

[b] Matthew 22:23-46
23 (A)On that day some (B)Sadducees (who say (C)there is no resurrection) came to [a]Jesus and questioned Him, 24 saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘(D)If a man dies having no children, his brother as next of kin shall marry his wife, and raise up children for his brother.’ 25 Now there were seven brothers among us; and the first married and died, and having no [c]children, he left his wife to his brother. 26 It was the same also with the second brother, and the third, down to the seventh. 27 Last of all, the woman died. 28 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her in marriage.”

29 But Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, (E)since you do not [d]understand the Scriptures nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither (F)marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. 31 But regarding the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God: 32 ‘(G)I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.” 33 When the crowds heard this, (H)they were astonished at His teaching.


In the first scripture it talked about the rapture. The second coming of Christ. It says the dead in Christ shall rise first, meaning when people die good or bad, they remain the in ground according to that passage pending when the trumpet shall sound. But this contradicts what we were taught in Sunday School that once you die and you're a Christian you'll find yourself in Paradise.

The second passage confirmed the first passage that there are actually people in the ground whose souls are waiting for judgement. It says the sea gave up the dead, meaning those who died and we're buried in the earth, those buried in the water or anywhere else would be resurrected on the last day to face judgement. Here also doesn't speak of the dead immediately going to heaven or hell upon death.

Finally the last passage was an answer Jesus was giving to the Sadducees. He made them understand that even though there's a resurrection it would happen on the last day and not immediately after death.

My question is If the dead are already in heaven as we're made to believe, how do they rise at the second coming?

Or would they descend from heaven back to their graves on earth then resurrect to face the last judgement?

If all the evil people are already in hell, why will the sea and the earth give up the dead in them for judgement and why will the book of life be opened to check if their names are written on it since they've already been jugded and thrown into hell?

I'll like to be clarified on this issue.

Cc lalasticlala mynd44 Dominique

Na straight to ELYSIUM all of you are going to much Greco Roman concepts and philosophy in the Bible.

obonujoker:
The lake of fire was prepared for the devil and his angels as an everlasting punishment.

It wssnt created for man.

However if a man decided to worship the devil and his angels, them he'd find his way there.

God created the lake of fire to punish the devil and other disobedient heavenly creatures... it's called "hell" to show the severity of the punishment as described by the Lord Jesus Christ

The lake of fire is also TARTARUS or one and the same.

And y'all brainwashed by Khemet aka Egyptologists.

NOTE: KHAM is Ham and that's the root word for Khemet. The actual word is Khamata.

The priesthood of YAH was given to SHEM and his descendants. Salvation was not promised to HAM. They all look to ISOLELE for Salvation.

But today, sadly, ISOLELE is looking to Khemet. SMH

Now I've read your analysis on Priesthood of YAH to SHEM/ SEHEM DESCENDENTS so what about the other analysis that present it this way which is that PRIESTHOOD OF YAH TO ABRAHAM AND HIS DESCENDENTS/ 12 TRIBES OF JACOB and right now you are saying an entirely different thing.

Your obsession for witchcraft/ IDOLATRY OF THE SKY AND SIGN (THE SUN) is making paranoid, keep enjoying your love for indulging in witchcraft.

ALL I'M SAYING IS THAT YOUR LOGIC IS SPEAKING AGAINST YOU.

donnie:


Flat out lie. Go research about the Gikuyus, they are Bantus popularly called KHABIRU/ HABIRU meaning Hebrews. Ancient Egyptian kings visited their land to to be spiritually fortified before assuming the throne. They have a college of elders and seers who guard ancient wisdom, the Ark of Convenant and the tablets of Moses. Listen to one of the seers speak.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FvFBvSWteM

You cannot take spirituality away from the Bantus. Don't fool yourself. They were in Egypt and were involved in shaping that civilization so don't be surprised to hear Isrealite names here and there. Even Abraham, Moses, Joseph etc were every well known and respected in Egypt... And these were highly spiritual Bantus.

It's a shame that you will attempt to take the glory of YAH and give to idols. See what khemet has done to you... SHAME!!!

Keep twisting like snake, I wonder how you are going to twist this one or are you saying that ancient Egyptian names are now Hebrew names serious what exactly are smoking, before based on what you said which is the ancient Egyptians spirituality is demonic/Idolatry now I've put you in one place all you could do is to CHANGE LIKE A CHAMELEON inwhich you change it all which is the ancient Egyptian spirituality is now ancient BANTU HEBREW ISRAELITES SPIRITUALITY .

donnie:


I can draw a triangle but I will not exalt a triangle above the word of YAH. I will neither reverence nor idolize a triangle or give respect to Egypt over my people ISOLELE (Israel) the people of YAH.

NEVER!

( According to donnie,I can draw a triangle) do you know know the meaning of what you just said here as it relates to you indulging the Idolatry triangle, it means you are saying that you will keep indulging in your witchcraft Idolatry.
Repent from your Idolatry, I'm doing this based on your logic Which is speaking against you right now because this what you love and like to do to people saying what you don't like well I'm just stating the obvious facts Which is that your logic is speaking against you right now.

donnie:


Lol... l heard that before.
I see you can't do without Idolatory. SMH.

Your logic speaks against you because according to your logic all TRIANGLE SHAPE are symbol of Idolatry this means you are also a witch by applying your logic to this it definitely means you are a witch for indulging and reverencing an Idolatry symbol.

bobestman:


You are right in some ways. All blacks are izreal and also not all blacks are izreal. All Africans fell through Idolatry including your Bantu ppl. Izreal doesn't mean Bantu or one ppl but a united ppl in ancient times who. It is wrong to say you Bantu are the ones the creator made the convenant with. We black are. Our fathers were one united ppl when the creator made that convenant with them. They fell and some of you who left West Africa start calling yourself Bantus start claiming you are keeping laws and commandments and keep saying you are the only chosen people.

I tell you and will tell you again that everyone fell and creator put that convenant on hold till the son is revealed. All your righteousness are filthy rags. All we are commanded to do is stay away from evil, be humble and righteous and wait till the time the creator gave us elasp then the son will come to restore everything and correct us. Without the son coming or revealed their can't be salvation or reconciliation of the people and he is the one who will purify and select the chosen based on their righteousness
Now read Malachi 3, If the son/messenger does not come, no one can be purified, the priest must be purified before they can offer anything. He will purify the levites before they can offer any offering to restore Izreal and Judah. Am telling you, you all are in error like the Churches. Isreal is not Bantu or Igbo or other, it's will be based on those the son meet holy when He comes. Anyone He purifies will be izreal. He hates pride. Many of you are so full of pride and always teach what you don't know how it all began. Be humble, live righteously, do good and help the poor and when He comes he will choose you as one his friends. If you know who teach me this little things I tell you, you will never argue with me.
Avoid pride and be humble cos you all know nothing. Little children are those who will teach you truth cos of your pride. Anyone (blacks)who live righteously is Isreal not Bantu, Igbo and others.

Please let's leave this Israel name and try look at other aspects like the name Hebrew and others .

donnie:


The so-called African Unity is a scam, a snare, a trap set for Bantus/negroes to enter. We fell for it before, and have been slaves ever since, but never again. Only those appointed for destruction will fall for it. These black nations know you're not the same as they. They know who you are (the people of the book) and have always hated you, yet we foolishly love to join ourselves with them. And by nations, I don't mean countries. Your African political leaders are mere stooges appointed by the West to do their bidding and keep the people complacent while they rape our land.

Our enemies come in black and white, be not decieved. Before the Transatlantic slave trade, there was the Arab slave trade, and these were black Africans. Bantus and negroes were captured and sold as slaves.

Later the Europeans came and were aided by the same black AFRICANS. Arabs/Berbers (blacks) and Fulanis were the major slave raiders of the transatlantic slave trade. They captured Bantus/ negroes in the forests and sold to the whites on the coasts who took them to the Americas on ships.

Today, Bantus/negroes on the continent are still enslaved, mentally and socioeconomically by white man and even under threat of slavery by the same Fulanis/Arabs, while still fooling themselves with religion.

We are not the same as the Afro-asiatics, Nilotics, Kushites, Berbers etc. Till today, these nations of black people still hate you. We will not be decieved. Of course YAH will restore several black nations and Kingdoms at the end but the Bantus will be on top, above all nations, taking the lead. We are the light of the World... the ones to whom salvation was promised and through whom humanity will be preserved. And those nations that will not recognize and bow to YAH'S chosen people will be cut off.

Ours is to REPENT and flee Idolatory.

Isaiah 60:12,14
[12]For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.
[14]The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee, The city of YAHUAH, The Zion of the Holy One of ISOLELE (Israel).

At the end of all this jargon you've written, you still end up using the same thing you said to be an abomination in the sight of YAH which is the so called ILLUMINATI PIRAMIDE TRIANGLE .

bobestman:
What is YAH and what's the meaning or how do you get the meaning from the root word in your tongue? I tell you, your YAH is not different from the European Jesus. In root Hebrew which is Igbo and the etymology of all languages on earth, YAH is just Him or He. Call Him what He is called in your tongues. Nyambe is 120% better. Nyambe, Mulungu, Chiukwu, Osenobuwa, Tamuno, Obasi etc are all your forgotten tongues your ancestors used to call the creator but you all have forgotten.

You claim Bantus this and that and you are the chosen ppl. You forget that all ahumanu(blacks) were and are one before. They all forget it all bf went after religion. All this this you claim are Bantus all began in West Africa in Ala Igbo and spread allover Africa.

You all are all in error until the sun/sun/RA comes and teach you all how it all happened and how you all are one and speak one language before blindness sets in. You don't teach anything till the time of CORRECTION when all truth will come out.

Read Isaiah 11, it's after you see the ensign/sign/Sun/Sun that the Reconciliation (gathering together of the ppl-Isreal and Judah...All Blacks) will begin. But the rebels or sinners among them will fall. With that Unity will they destroyed all their enemies and take back their world. What you should preach is African Unity not Bantus this and that cos all have the errors until the Son comes and correct.

Your Bantu ppl told you are the only Isolele or Isreal. Even your Isolele is Isi-RA-Ele(head and light of God the creator). They tell you that Ele is the Egyptian God but you ruled egypt and they copied you. How then is Ele in your Isolele and many of your names end with it. You claim that RA is also wrong but Africans have names like

RAphew,RAhab,RAmah,RApha,MaRAnata,RApture etc I can go on even African names. Your ancestors forgot that. I tell you RA is the Son of the creator, the Sun, the light of the creator to the world etc All these your ancestors forget and took names like Yah this and that

I've been trying to educate him on this stuff you are saying but his very very stubborn inwhich he prefers to be brainwashed by ISOLELE.

Nna eh! what are you talking about white people? Educate yourself. John Christopher Taylors' Mother is from Arochukwu and his father is from Isuama. He was a rescued slave who grew up in Sierra Leone and just like Rev Crowther did for his Yoruba people, Rev. Taylor came back home and settled in Onitsha, and the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and Act of Apostle.
We really need to bring back history in school.
Now, I am not saying that his proposition was the correct one, but don't ever mess up the names of the heroes that sold the beauty of our people to the world.

Enough of this people you are mentioning they were used by White people to promote white superiority inwhich an aspect/ purpose was to make sub Saharan Africans ignorant of who they are in spirit and in physical by using this Pastor's, Reverend, Father's and Bishop's etc to render our way of life/ philosophy inferior and also by demonize every positive/ good aspect of our culture .

donnie:


They didn't just refer to it as witchcraft, it was what you may call witchcraft today. Especially these days, with their media hyped satanic diseases.

African spirituality is the foundation of medicine and healing. Especially the Bantus. Our people are gifted specially by YAH with knowledge of herbal medicine. Some receive visions at night of angels leading them to a forest and showing them herbs to use to cure someone who will come the following day. It's purely supernatural.

Mundeles stole this knowledge, told our people it's evil, now they use it against us. Even the word Chemistry is from Khemet + mystery.

Finally you've repented inwhich you now acknowledge, reverencing and promoting the mysteries/culture's of Africa, what ever happened to ISOLELE don't tell me that you are now in full time African mystery or a full time African traditionalist well I will thank you for showing us the other side of you which means you were never all about ISOLELE from the beginning I don catch you today .

Yes, I have some pictures and I will upload it.
This sword was collected by James Barbot during his journey to new Calabar around 1699. He was quite condescending in his description of the people of New Calabar, to the point of being racist. He said the blacks in New Calabar were inhuman, but he made comments about the Hackbous (a misprinting of Hickbous) which is an old name for the Igbos. He claimed that those Igbos were the one who supplied the people in New Calabar many goods and artefacts. I assume he was referring to the Aros based on the location. He mentioned that these group of Hackbous blacks terrorised the people towards the North.
He collected the swords that were made by the Igbo blacks and took them to London.

It's such a petty that our present day Igbo blacksmith's can't make anything like those Sword instead all they do is to be making those ridiculous over size machete.

Ekealterego:

Bro, I am not doubting the veracity of your sources, One of the older authors who brought the thesis forward around the 1800s was Rev. Taylor. His parents were Igbo slaves and he lived the rest of his adult life in Nigeria. He and Bishop Crowther (Crowther, adopted the Yorubas as his people and wrote the first Bible in Yoruba) Some of these guys lived and died in our culture.
I am not saying that these Professors you mentioned are not worthy of their position or authority or that their propositions were wrong.

Enough of this people you're mentioning whom the White people used , by using them to destroy our culture and demonizing our culture including every thing about us, the even extended it to our skin colour .

Ekealterego:

I am not doubting your submission or the submission of the authors you quoted. You know that thesis and works are built on some basic foundations. The one I quoted was probably published more than 150 years before the authors you quoted were born. The ideas then are novel and these authors witnessed the culture untouched and the new authors you quoted must have dug deeper even with more knowledge at their disposal. Bottom line, I am not doubting your submission, I am just reporting the origins of these thoughts.

The person behind the article/site that I posted is definitely an indigenous of Igbo cultural land and his or her write-up, is in similitude to that of Cathrine Acholonu so are you saying that the likes of Professor John Anenechukwu Ume and Professor Cathrine Acholonu never witnessed their culture, in regards to Professor John Anenechukwu Ume and Professor Cathrine Acholonu inwhich like it's being said a prophet is not know in his home town.

Ekealterego:


There is this case Rev. J.C. Taylor witnessed at Onitsha around 1840s or 50s.
He noticed how a "Holy Girl" in form of a young virgin went the way of Jehoiakim which was prophesied by Proph. Jeremiah. However, like Jesus, the belief and reason for ´the death of the young virgin were to the atonement of the sins of the land and wipe away the sins of the people in Onitsha. Just as the bible of old prophesied in Isaiah 53:5:

"But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."

The event was narrated thus:

This doesn't change the fact that Igbos are as Ancient as time, all I see in the write-up you posted are group of people doing compare and contrast Which still don't change the fact that ancient Egypt/ancient Black Africans are older than ancient Israel inwhich Igbos are older than Israel with a question of who gave birth to who or who's first before others this will give us Igbos/ Black Africans being older than Egypt gave birth to ancient Egypt while ancient Egypt being older than Israel means Igbos/ancient Black Africans gave birth to Israel so Jews are simply practicing an Igbo culture given to them by our Igbo Ancestors.https://igboacienthistory.weebly.com/was-igbo-the-language-of-creation-and-of-the-natives-of-atlantis.html#

The Jewish Origins - Note that this part of their work is not based on their written records. This is based on their theory in the 1800s.

I believe this is where the origins of the Igbo Jewish connection stemmed from.

But this same Jewish rituals are in similitude to some of the ancient Egyptian rituals or let me also put it like this just as Igbo culture is similar to Jewish, the funny thing is that the same Igbo culture is at the same similar to ancient Egyptians and also similar to some extent to ancient cultures in middle East while to others they simply believe that Igbo origin/ culture is older than those other cultures that Igbos are being compared to eg Cathrine Acholonu and John Anenechukwu Umeh etc.

This still speaking of the Aros.
It is interesting to note that the Isuama and Elugu dialect was spoken by most of the visitors. I will peep into what the Aro dialect sound like today and how these dialects influenced them.

Also note here, that European travellers also bought artisans and metal finishes here because they were so impressed by the quality.

Do you have any pictures of this old/ancient swords or sword, because I know that in Igbo history when the name Mma Ahaa is mentioned it simply means war sword or just sword and not this over size machete which my present day Igbo brothers keep carrying about whenever it's time to dress like an ancient Igbo worrior during traditional ceremony, if you have any pictures of this Mma Ahaa or Sword please post the pictures here I will like to see what the look like.

I believe Nigeria have so many Vibrant youth who can lead this country to promise land. Though, we need to understand that nobody is completely perfect but we have some youth that can deliver this country like Bobi Wine.

Who do you think is Vibrant like Bobi Wine amount Nigeria youths?
