2prexios:
This is your genius, insulting people as you feel like. I have disgraced and caused you to change your moniker in the past to makof. Thank the data loss. You dont have substance but arrogance. I always break you and your endless monikas. You are preparing a new fatal disgrace for yourself. Be warned. How am I restricted from Igbo history? Cause your kind exist? What's macof? I can't dignify you as to 'the wisest fool', for I will be grateful forever if fate could make my life worthy enough to write Igbo history or Yoruba's, etc. Your humanity is a function of nairaland. Silent is best answer for a fool.

Where did I insult you? I challenge you, you hate challenges on a claim that is alien to the general population, how then do u get people to take you seriously? What you are doing is Spreading falsehood about Yoruba people, and your Hebrew-Yoruba claim will remain falsehood until you provide proof to back it up. At least I've asked u to provide the linguistic, cultural or historical records that link Yoruba ancestors to be Hebrews of the Bible..you get angry and frustrated acting like a child spewing thrash

why don't you put me to shame by providing the proof? Are you going to put it in a book? I look forward to your book

I don't have multiple monikers, it's actually you that does...how's ur ladionline account going?

And yet he replied WTF

My contributions will tell the people to either take me seriously or not, not what you think of me sir, I'm not doing this to face a challenge from you if that is how you see life, I am doing this to add my quota to human knowledge. There is nothing else needed to convince someone looking to condemn an argument with impunity and indignation.

The Yoruba proverb said it better: bi a ko ba leni nigbimo, baa ba rojo are, ebi laa fi je, meaning, if we do not have someone on a forum (panel), if you share a winning story, you will lose. So why run in a maze with a troll? I am Yoruba, every of their antics are principle of life to me, and you cannot disgrace me in the issue of my ancestry, take it or leave it.


I do not hate challenges o, what I hate is a man who argue out of sense. If I don't believe what you believe, does that call for taking me for a fool and a madman? Or who are you referring to in a creepy way?

What you are doing is Spreading falsehood about Yoruba people, and your Hebrew-Yoruba claim will remain falsehood until you provide proof to back it up.

Since you believe that Yoruba emerged or evolve from Ile Ife, did I ever ask you to give me the evidence of their evolution and a living-proof of your beliefs? So, what are you challenging me for? Are you some sort of an umpire in what you cannot possibly explain? Am I here to please you to achieve something?

Again, my ancestors did not come from Ile Ife, simple. They came from "Iseri" or "Orun": my ancestral record is sacred to me, not "Yoruba myth". So do not force me to become a disciple of this myth, i know its important to you, it is allegory of the black hole in nebula...

I am not frustrated ooo, you cannot frustrate me o. My bible tells me, cast not your pearl unto swine...Your thoughts have changed many times on this forum, on this Yoruba issue, but for so long, my point has never changed, you understand my argument perfectly. I don't understand yours, its irrelevant to me.

why don't you put me to shame by providing the proof? Are you going to put it in a book? I look forward to your book

Sorry if I have misunderstood you. The name-calling can be offensive you know.

See, U speak of Yoruba in golden colors, don't be critic on the Igbo thread. Respect their privacy. +Bear with the little I share.

I blame christianity for all this evil in the minds of young Igbo men that should possess more intelligence than this
D@ AlfaSeltzer you nid to see what evil Jesus has done again

it is your Mohammed that has spread evil like wild fire all in d name of Jihad. Are u blind

IchieDi:
it is your Mohammed that has spread evil like wild fire all in d name of Jihad. Are u blind

Oh pls! The world would have been better off without both Mohammed and jesus

Jst look at you, quick to attack Mohammed in defence of a Jew

Or are you jewish like the op wants you to believe?

megacity:
The implication of this marvelous discovery is that all Igbos will go to heaven when they finish here on earth since the Bible is clear that all Jews Will be saved

Jews are descendants of Judah, son of Jacob. Those of the kingdom of the South (Kingdom of Judah) while the Kingdom of Israel (north) are Israelites but not Jews.

The descendants of Judah considered those from the North (the Samaritans...etc) as having gone astray.

Anyway, this is a very interesting and intriguing topic

The easy way to determine this will be to get a mitochondrial DNA test from 23andme

Hi everyone, well I have listened to various contrasting views about this topic and would like to clear or doubts about Igbo root. In my opinion, igbos do not need proven history to be confirmed the descendants of Jacob. I would like someone to tell me any other ethnic group in Africa or the entire world that has ( eri) as suffix in their names or are you trying to make up its coincidence? Even Nri is in the Bible. Another son of Gad, his name is Arodi also has his descendants in Igbo land ( arochukwu, arondizuogu) There's also another son of Gad named Areli, presently, there's a town in Anambra State called Oraeri. Are trying to tell me that all these are coincidence? Which ethnic group will go through what igbos have gone through and still survive not to talk even surpassing the oppressors? Which? Tell me Mr envious historian. Which tribe is hated by the gentiles ( non Hebrews as igbos in entire Africa)? Let me put it simply whether you believe it or not, Igbo people are descendants of ancient Israel. The Israelis know this fact already OK. We don't even need their approval. You can never cheat or lie to nature. Where ever your feet shall touch, you shall possess, this covenant follows Igbo people wherever they go.

The Bible was not written in English what we have is a translated version. When "Jesus" was around no one would have called him "JESUS" which is the anglicized form. The reality is that the earliest evidence of Human existence is in Africa . The Jews came from Africa and not the other way round

Many bible follows seem to have this idea that Humanity started in the Middle East or that the so called Garden of Eden was in modern day Israel

Hmmm...Wonder if some Yoruba tribes are descendants of the jebusites and amalakites
Naija! We too like attachee!!

The first time I heard about such claim, I couldn't believe it myself. I thought it was just another hoax cooked up by another fraudulent individual just to dupe people until I decided to study the holy scriptures myself in the book of genesis.............I couldn't believe what I saw. Indeed, the truth really hurts.......

manchy7531:

please as you are reading this, read with your bible..... God to genesis 46: 16, Exodus 39:7,14......

I almost cried yesterday when i saw ERI in the bible being one of the sons of Gad, who happens to be one of the twelve sons of jacob who became the twelve tribes of isreal.....

Why didn't you cry to prove your despiration and pathetic state of mind ?

Are you therefore suggesting that the Ijebu people of the South West should start writing falacies to link their ancestry to Israel because of the Jebusites in Canaan ?
All your so-called historians linking you to the Jews are swimming in fantacies.
The lot of you are too ignorant to know that not even all Israelies are Jews.
Added to this is the fact that the very people you desperately try to link yourselves to have rejected you as having any historical link to them.

Simple solution: why not conduct DNA tests of selected Ibo people and see whether it tallies with your perceived ancestors ? Why go round the circle like a confused lot with inferiority problems ?

Now i know that the Ibos, who have no ancestral link outside the east of Nigeria, would do/give anything to become Hebrew SLAVES. I can bet on that.

My brother let me answer your questions. I am not against igbos being hebrews but your claims are not right.

you asked

Which ethnic group will go through what igbos have gone through and still survive not to talk even surpassing the oppressors? Which? Tell me Mr envious historian. Which tribe is hated by the gentiles ( non Hebrews as igbos in entire Africa)?

[b]The greatest crime in modern human history is the transatlantic slave trade where millions of Africans mostly bantu peoples were taken into slavery. I say mostly bantus because of DNA tests, ancient historical names and the fact that their culture is the bedrock of contemporary secular music and dance routines(includes jazz, rhythm and blues, salsa, tango, bachata, pachanga, brazillian dance fight etc). Another crime is the Mussolini occupation of Ethiopia where he killed nearly 4million hebrews. According to Dr Ben Yochanan, "Mussolini met over 4million jews when he got to Ethiopia and when he left barely a hundred thousand remained". South African black tribes also suffered apartheid which is worse than what you claim the ibos have suffered. Provoking a civil war and losing the war is different from actual victimization. There's a difference between wanting to be hebrews and actually being hebrews. There's a difference between a jew and a hebrew. SOmetmes being a thing is not by making the most noise. for instance the european Jews presently in the holy land have no connections to the land and by dna have not a single hebrew blood in their veins yet they are in the land now. Now let me tell you about the bantu people, they are one of the only few groups of africans whose traditional beliefs all ascribe to one God. Hear me there are many bantu tribes but all profess to one God in their various languages. You have the Tivs in Central Nigeria(bantu migrants from the Congo) who have myths that are similar to bible stories. Infact they prayed to the God of Jacob and the God of Abraham( Aondo u Yorkov and Aondo u Abaver) for miracles and petitions before they ever met the british. They have the traditional circumcision, they have the legend of Moses crossing the red sea(the tale of ikyaren). Which is distorted because of oral traditions due to time. The only group of people in africa proven by dna to be hebrews are again the bantus(the lemba tribe of southern africa).

ABout the ibos being jews, I dont have any thing against it but let me show you a link.
http://realhistoryww.com/world_history/ancient/Misc/Canaan/Canaan_religion.htm

If you hit that link you will see that the canaanites had so many gods like the ibos. The gods are in the same fashion with the ibo gods. The ibos are not monotheist. Some Canaanites remained on their land which became the land of Israel for a long time before many migrated into Africa. I think that may be why you have those Nri names and stuff cos it originally was your land. The Canaanites also married with the hebrews alot thats why you have the ibos as proto-bantu. Also, its not the amount of suffering you endure that makes you a hebrew. The fulanis also suffered slavery but they are the presidents and rulers of various west african countries today. One can easily argue that because the lord blessed the house of David but lets leave that for another day. Some yorubas were also taken into slavery. But the yorubas have too many similarities with the ancient egyptians and they need to be studied properly because their culture is very sophisticated.

The Israelis know this fact already OK. We don't even need their approval.

They dont know it as a fact. They accept it cos they too are imposters on the land. They are sons of Ashkenaz. 92% of them are not hebrews. They only converted to Judaism in the 7th century. Every true historian knows this. Some of the brilliant Ashkenazi jews even say it.

These are the words of the first egyptian prime minister Gamal Abdel Nasser to the contemporary Jews " you (the Jews) will never be able to live here in peace, because you left here black but came back white. We cannot accept you!"

danot1030:
Igbo a tribe wit identity problem, a sign of inferiority complex. Claims to be lagosians, claims south south also claiming to be jews, wot a confused people.

my fellow Yoruba Muslim, wen did igbos say they were lagosians?
Let us talk about d origin of our oodua tribe ...how oduduwa jumped down from d sky with dog chain and broke his oblong skull

it seems this igbo people have a deep rooted inferiority complex as africans,because they always adopt foreign adaptations so intensely,e.g they are the only tribe in nigeria that staunchly and heavily practise roman catholicism refusing to break from mental slavery of colonism and they are adopting a foreign origin for their tribe.lolzzzzz

If these descenting voices had taking time to read through the write up prior to their argueing blindly they would have realised that

1. There has been archaeological discoveries such as the ONYX stone bearing the name ERI, one of the twelve sons of Jacob.

2. The star of David.

3. Golden utensils used in temple worship.

All these discoveries in Igboland are pointers to Igbo's Jewish ancestory as we patiently await the outcome of the DNA test conducted in Nnewi Anambra state Nigeria in the first quarter of 2017.

Once the results are out it will lay to rest all these arguements and hate talks.
Thank You.

had this argument with some igbos last timeand besides make Igbo's know say even una na Jews last last na hell fire win am for una oh.....why?because Jews doubt Jesus and call am scam and the bible say without Jesus no heaven so where una de now?loose loose lasts last.....

My research

Nonsense... Honestly I would not doubt the link to the "Isreal" of those days and the migration that took place. But this perpetual manner of the Ibos trying to convince people about their origin, lack articulation and is devoid of depth. People are rewriting their history, this is your chance to rewrite yours but just learn to do it well. Because not doing it well is a recipe for disaster and an easy way to becoming a laughing stock among the committee of nations. Even the Yorubas and the Benin are trying hard to get it right.

If I may even ask... what do you really want us to believe? Are your guys Isrealites or Jews. I am interested in further definition of their Jewish or Link to being "Isrealites".

Spare me this crap until you are able to make sense. Stop using the Bible as your reference. The bible has no reference of your people.

Even the Yorubas who might have ties never claim to be Jews or Israelite (or whatever you call it), because they believe in who they are and will to go it alone without unnecessary attachments. Start from where you are and grow from there. Let the Jew seek you and stop seeking them.

Nonsense.

Igbos are not Jews, we are far older than that group. Africans and inferiority complex

Jesus see history !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Amakwa where Nneni descended from gave birth to two son Akwaeze and Nneni I am a native of Akwaeze and Akwaeze and Nneni call themselves 'Ibenne ' meaning from the same mother Akwaeze , being the first son was named after Amakwa .

Now this is the story all about how My life got flipped, turned upside down And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-air.
