9jatatafo: All tribes, languages and people originated from Babylon during the construction of Tower of Babel. End of story

Abagworo: Igbo folklore believes that the whole black world originated from Igbo area. I don't know how these people would allow white men to distort their brain to this level. This King is trying to twist the culture of his ancestors. Well, all Igbos are not of same stock. Some are of same origin as Ibibio/Annang/Ejagham/Ekoi others are of same origin with Edo, others are same with Ijaw, others with Igala and Idoma, some with Yoruba etc. This Eze obviously belongs to the Igala stock of Igbos.

barcanista: Very good!


Ijaws Originated from Spain or Portugal

Zedric: Though the man appeared to show off his knowledge of the bible, there are things that just didn't fit;
1) Is he saying that Jihad started in Egypt?
2) is he saying that the isrealites stayed peacefully in Egypt b4 they finally realised they were slaves?
I think he knows the origin but not the turn of events that led to that. Igbos are from Egypt, Yorubas from Mecca, waiting for the Hausas to come and prove their origin if they can

vislabraye: . That mean Cristiano Ronaldo is related to me !!

Chinaimporter: My respect to his royal majesty but i would put a basket on my face as i say he is very wrong.The true origin of the igbos lies in the sumerian city of ur near the site on ancient babylonia.the igbos establist the ubaid dynasty headed by the great igbo king meshanepada who built a ziggurat in honor of the great god nnanna(also called nanna in sumerian and sin in akkadian) who asked the igbos to migrate to other part of the world to spread civilization in the then young world. Igbos then invented the first alphabet called the cuneiform and left babylon under an igbo family called the Akadians who where the ancestors of modern arabs,Ethiopians and jews through a former sheperd of igbo orign called abraham.
The igbos then migrated to perisia which they civilized and gave her first royal dynasty and their god called Ahura mazda(i hi ura mu aza gi meaning he who answers me in my sleep)
From there they went to ancient egypt where they civilized and gave her first pyramids and also sent a delegation th civilized the barbarians in the north called the greeks.it should be noted that some of the greatest greek men where igbos eg aristotle(erie asi tolu uto), pythagoras(bia ta ara) achilles( aku ili) etc.
The igbos also enslaved the isrealites in both babylonia and Egypt and after they got tired of the city life they migrated to eastern nigeria while civilizing the Nubians, yorubas,fulanis etc on there way.it should be noted that oduduwa and bayegida were all igbos in oduduwa case yoruba legend holds that he is a fair man from the east. The igos are not desended from jews or egyptians rather thses people are all desended from the igbos and and unbiased historical evaluation would prove that

macof:

wat part of Igbo folklore states so?? Although it's usual for West Africans to point to their land as the origin of the world, I have never seen Igbo do that
Most Igbo trace their origin to some where else

like u said some from Ijaw, igala, bini, efik/ibibio. This man is most certainly umueri and umueri are from igala not any Egypt or Israel.

The fact is all South Nigerian groups have interwoven origins...as igala and northern Yoruba groups separated very late in history say 20centuries ago, hence the language similarity...infact igala is a Yoruba language.
Ibibio and some Igbo dialects are also similar.

EMMASON125:
How did Oduduwa fall from the sky?
With his head, hands, legs or mouth?
Was he pushed (by devil, God) or did he fall of his own volition?
What language did he speak when he first landed on earth?
Did he land with a wife or alone? If alone, how did he give birth to his offspring?
Did he not meet people (for e.g., Binis, Igbos) already occupying the land when he landed?

Boss13: Must people adjust their history to fit the bible? Scientist has proven that human existed million of years ago and Africa was the birth-place of mankind.

victorazy:

Yes! Everything in Africa started from Egypt.
Yes! Even the bible said it that "they complained to Moses that they were living well in Egypt than in this desirt"

There may be truth in what he said cuz even the red Igbo caps are being wore in Egypt.

Scyllapatron: the christian bible is marred by historical inaccuracies and distorted representations of our past, many questions are left unanswered, yet people claim they are rooted to biblical upshots. bunch of confused monarchs.
this was how they gave up our traditions and cultural heritages and were brainwashed to embrace the european and arab religions. today they don't even know who their real ancestors were, all they know now is isaac and jacob. the lost generation of Africa.

garyaustin: Please let's choose our words carefully. The high Chief should be respected. I carried out extensive research and discovered that the Igboman has a lot in common with the Jews to suggest he is a Jew. I want to concentrate on Hebrew words that mean the same thing in Igbo language. 1 remove consonants from some Hebrew words, you will. get the same meaning in Igbo language. eg Bethel; remove th and you have Be El which means house of El in both languages. 2 Kolu means voice or neck in Hebrew. remove the consonant k and you are left with Olu which means voice or neck in Igbo. other words are ADA first daughter in Igbo, MAZ Hebrew, MAZI Igbo meaning Mister in both languages. JEREMIAH means who will go for me? Igbo says 'je re m ya' meaning Go for me. ISAIAH means he has answered. Igbo says I za ya meaning you have answered him or her. I can write a whole book on that. Next time I have the chance, I shall write on cultural similarities.
