Eri entered Igbo land in 1005AD you said
buy you forgot Bible placed his immediate father 1500BC, that's about 2000 years excess.

Igbo sold their heritage easily to an Asiatic tribes whose history is still a myth .

Afonjas and the rest of northern bad belle will not sleep today......now the DNA result is now proven that igbos are part of the lost tribe of Israel they will go and ask their Jewish brothers do denounced igbos if they have the power to do so...... Any real igboid groups should be proud that they are chosen people by the God of Israel.....all these fake Jew moniker from afonjas shame on you people....the Jews all over the world recognized igbos as one of them go and kill yourself

This post is just a reminder of how blacks still need to emancipate themselves from mental slavery.

My people, DNA have now confirmed we are hebrew, do u still doubt?

Ngozi123, Amarabae, Ezeagu, bigfrancis21, Cheruv, pazienza, Abagworo, AjaanaOka, ireneony

That's enough proof for me. I guess we are Jews.

Ngozi123:

Don't guess you are a Hebrew woman � the daughter of Solomon lineage Hebrew women are blessed.....they produce the seeds of the children of Israel

In short the Igbos are not Nigerians. Why are they causing chaos in Nigeria, they should go back to Israel or promise land.

Igbos are Israelis but left behind by Moses for Pharaoh to take care of

I blame our educational system for ignoring Nigeria's pre-colonial history,
when you leave a gap in a peoples education, charlatans will fill it up with absurdities.

The only winner here is the Israeli "scientists" who would go home with a fat
pay check for their "consulting" service.

I wonder why history is not a compulsory subject in our educational system
All I have known granted they are mostly European history I read from the books my Dad used while he was in school.

The accepted theory is that modern humans emerged from Africa
I wonder why our black brethren want to be subservient to Jews

People need to distinguish myths from scientific evidence

Gullible people will always be gullible

I am not sure if this is true but your questions are funny man, ( they claim to be the lost tribe) I can bet you were never a science student.

But I was a science student and I understand a few things about genetics and racial phenotypes. The lost tribes of Israel were Semitic, not African Negros. So how come a group of Negroes can claim to be descended from a Semitic ancestor?

The Igbo claim of Jewish ancestry is as cretinous as the Yoruba claim of Arab ancestry.

king Solomon was the first Black king Israel had. they have black Isrealites and Israel will never leave their own behind.

besides, the similarities are way to many between Igbos and the Jews.

Mind you, i am yet to be convinced...but the evidences are compelling.


read history below

THE GENEALOGY OF IGBOS:
The Igbos and who they are. (read and forward).
If you don't know where you are coming from definitely you will never no where you are going to, we must know our root and who we are.
I am here to give you another EDUCATIVE and INFORMATIVE masterpiece.
If you are Igbo then this write-up will help you know more about yourself and where you are coming from, but if you are not Igbo, now you have the opportunity to learn more about the Igbos and why they exhibit some of their characters.
It is a very powerful masterpiece and it took me time to gather them together.
First of all, I will want you to bring out your BIBLE because 30% percent of whatever I will say are recorded in the Holy book.
Like I said, it took me time to do this research. For those of you who think there is nothing connecting Igbos and Israelites, then I can tell you that you are wrong. Igbos are 100% Jews.
It is simply for educating the young ones and letting them know where they are coming from.
Read on to know where you fall into.
Let's begin according to Genesis 29 vs 30: JACOB had twelve (12) sons namely:
#1. Ruben
#2. Simeon
#3. Levi
#4. Judah
#5. Dan
#6. Naphtali
#7. Gad
#8. Asher
#9. Issachar
#10. Zebulun
#11. Joseph
#12. Benjamin.
The 7th son was GAD.
and according to Genesis 46 vs16. GAD had seven (7) sons namely:
Ziphon
Haggi
Shunni
Ezbon
Eri
Arodi
Areli.
Sometime in Middle East, famine struck and Jacob moved with his family and about 70 other relations to Egypt.
But before then Joseph (which was 11th son of Jacob) had already been sold to Egypt by his brothers, where he was made Governor General under a King Pharaoh.
As time goes on when the Pharaoh that knows Joseph died, they started suffering persecutions from the hand of Egyptians but ERI the 5th son of GAD foresaw the danger, persecution, and wickedness coming and he decided to leave in time with his two younger brothers, ARODI & ARELI with one of his half brothers.
They travelled through Ethiopia, Sudan and down towards West Africa through river nile and landed at a place known as AGULERI today through Omambala river in Anambra state, around 1305 BC.
(I) ERI established and lived close to the Omambala river.
He was wealthy and wise like his great grand father (Abiama) Abraham.
That is why Anambra state has the highest number of rich people in Africa.
ERI; had five (5) sons:
(1) Agulu
(2) Atta
(3) Oba
(4) Hebrew/Ibo
(5) Menri
(1) AGULU; as the first son stayed back and established in the place known as Agulu-ERI (Agulu son of ERI) in Anambra state.
(2) ATTA; moved to upward North and established a place known as "IGALA Kingdom " and that is why their overall KING is known as "Atta of IGALA" in Kogi state
(3) OBA; left and founded a place known as Oba Kingdom in Anambra state.
(4) HEBREW; which have been changed to mean Hibo or Ibo.
He was very powerful spiritual man and that is why people from this area are always very spiritual.
He left and founded Igbo-Etiti, Igbo-Adagbe, Igbo- Eze (within Nsukka and parts of Anambra).
(5) MENRI left and founded a place known as ""AgukwuNRI". NRI Kingdom.
(II). ARODI moved to a place known as "ARO- CHUKWU". Very industrious and good at arts and crafts.
(e.g: Aba Ngwa people of Aba).
ARODI gave birth to:
(1) Nembe
(2) Ngwa
(3) Abakaliki
(4) Ogoni
(5) Afikpo
(6) Aro-Ikot Ekpene (Akwa Ibom )
(7) Aro- Echie (Rivers state)
( Arondizuogu.
During slave trade Aro spread all over the world. America, Cuba, Brazil and "ARO-festival" is always been celebrated in CUBA.
(III). ARELI was a man with a lot of Wisdom. The native tongue of his descendants is today known as "Central Igbo". And people from this Area have the highest number of graduates and professors in Igbo land.
ARELI gave birth to:
(1) Owerri
(2) Umuahia
(3) Diobu (River state)
(4) Okigwe
(5) Orlu
(6) Nkwerre
(7) Elele (Mba Ise)
(9) Mba Ano, etc...
ERI half brothers moved and founded IJAW nationality and some parts of Edo State and many other parts of Niger Delta.
EVIDENCES and SIMILARITIES:
Now to verify some of the things I have said above.
(1) If you get to Aguleri there is a particular house known as OBI GAD (house of GAD).
Remember GAD was the 7th son of Jacob (Gen 29:30) and GAD had five (5) sons of which the last three (3) who were ERI, ARODI and ARELI and some of their half brothers left Egypt to West Africa).
The OBI GAD was the resting or relaxing place for ERI and his brothers and they named it OBI GAD in order to honour their father (GAD, the 7th son of Israel). This OBI GAD was the first house built in Igboland. This is the reason why every Igbo man always build a place called OBI/OBU in his house in honour of his father and mainly for relaxation and in the olden days, there is always a family shrine or little oracle, and why they worship Oracle then was because they left EGYPT before GOD gave 10 commandments to Moses for the Israelites, of which one of the 10 commandments is against idol worship. (even though modern day Igbos now build OBI as outside BAR without any Shrine, while some Christians don't build OBI anymore because of their beliefs). It can also be Called ERI TEMPLE.
The Obi GAD also serve as a Consulting place for some royal fathers from other community that have Direct root to ERI.
ANOTHER EVIDENCE.
(2) At the Burial place of ERI, there is a TRINITY TREE standing on the grave site.
These are three Trees but are strongly United and connected by Single Tap Root.
(3) "ADA" means first Daughter in Israel (Gen 4 vs 19- 20) and it means the same thing in Igbo language.
(4) Before an Igbo man makes a contribution in a public gathering, he will shout "Igbo kwenu " and the people will respond "Yah" and "Yah" is short form of " Yahweh.
Yahweh is the name of Jewish GOD.
(5) STAR OF DAVID AND some bronze medals Encrypted with Hebrew Codes were found in many part of the Igbo land.
(6) Israelis (Jews) manufactures 80% the world weapons and 70% of USA weapons.
Just like Igbos manufactured 80% of all the weapons used during Biafran. Which no other African nation has done.
Igbos were only defeated during the war due to Hunger policy.
By now, we would have manufacturing war weapons for Africans, and no country will have to go outside Africa to purchase weapons to fight Insurgency, if not for the bad policy of Nigeria.
Igbos are the most highly technologically inclined people in the whole of Africa.
You will also notice that Igbos always handle the post of science and technology and industry in most Nigeria ministerial post.
The first West African billionaire is from Nnewi: Chief Sir Louis Ojukwu.
The black Indigenous Vehicle Manufacturers eg:
INNOSON MOTORS AND
COSHARIS MOTORS,
Indigenous MOBILE PHONE AND COMPUTER MANUFACTURERS eg:
(A) SLOK MOBILE (Orji Uzo kalu)..
(B) ZINOX COMPUTERS (Leo Stan Ekeh).
(C) SLOT MOBILE (NNAMDI EZEIGBO)
(D) Father of internet and founder of the fastest computer in the world (PHILIP EMEAGWALI) etc.
(7) We carry home our dead ones just like the Israelites (Gen 49 vs 29-50). (Just like the Israelites, we were led or ruled by Elders and Priest.
There was no King in Israel until Samuel appointed Saul as the King of Israel and that was why Israelites were led by Prophet Moses and so many other Prophets.
CONCLUSION: Isreali Ambassador (Noah Katz) Confirmed that Igbos are Jews. (Check Daily Sun Newspapers 28th March 2004).
Therefore, Igbo are the Engine Block and Japan of Africa , no wonder an Author with international reputation, "Emefiena Ezennia" said that "In Biafra Africa Died". We are good people, we love our neighbours, we accommodate anybody. We can live everywhere and develop anywhere. It is in our blood to develop.
We need Igbos to develop Nigeria, Africa and even the world as a whole, we are God's people, a chosen generation!
Nigeria should stop the marginalization of the Igbos and the Biafrans or let them have their freedom.
For the Igbos we should know who we are, dream and think bigger, for you are the son of the most high God, the God of Abraham (Abiama) believe in yourself and work harder as it is in your blood, every parents should Igbo endeavour to teach their children Igbo language and culture all the time!

Stop spreading lies. this your history is very much disjointed.

first of all, the biblical Eri never came to Africa. Secondly, he never gave birth to anybody called Agulu which you claim is Aguleri.

provide us with prove to the above assertions.

There seems to be a lot of ignorance about the Ethiopian Jews (The Falashas).

Ethiopian Jews are only Jewish in a religious sense but they are not genetically Jewish. The only reason why they were allowed to migrate to Israel was because they were persecuted for their religious beliefs.

And this just your personal speculation as usual, not based on any serious research effort.

These people will never stop fooling themselves, as soon as the Israelites voice out now, story go change again. They like cooking up stories. I remember listening to the story of Igbo where they said it was the African sun that made them black. I laugh in Swahili. The sun in Dubai didn't change the colour of the Arabs neither did the sun change the American whites to black skinned people. Associating themselves with things like this will always lead to continuous failure. Any tribe can as well lay claims to your horrible and cooked up tales of migration from the sons of Jacob

Bro, go and get more education. Ancient Hebrews, heeboes, Igbos were BLACK!!!

Exactly. How can white people suffer the conditions of slavery in Egypt for generations and still be alive to tell the tale? Does that make sense to anyone here?

shervydman:


that's good, wenedem....aw do u feel when u came across them?

I actually came across it in a book on Israel I read.

I live in central Ethiopia, while those that are left in Ethiopia mostly live in the northern part, so I don't know my feelings towards them since I didn't came across them.

But as far as I remember, I had seen one Ethiopian Jew. She was a Israeli citizen and came to our house one day to ask my late father to tell her more about her late father. My and her father used to be friends in the past before her father death.

By the way, she looked very beautiful.

But the Lemba case is different. The Lembas had always been culturally distinct from their neighbouring tribes because their religious practices were monotheistic and their culture bore strong a resemblance to many Jewish cultural practices.
The same can't be said for Igbos because Igbo culture had nothing in common with Judaism, unless of course you believe that the worship of Amadioha, Ala and other indigenous deities is part of Jewish cultural identity.

James Africanus Horton was actually an Igbo man by origins and he put forward his theory of Igbo Jewish ancestry at a time when very little was understood about African tribes by scholars and anthropologists.
We now know a lot more about the origins of various population groups and incidents of mass migration are fairly well documented, but James Horton's theories have largely been discredited in academic circles and these days they are regarded as little more than pseudo science . They are not taken seriously as a credible source of scholarly research.

Jews live all over the world. Why bundle Igbos back to Israel?

All Igbos ask for is Biafra in Africa, another mini-Israel in Africa.

Exactly. That's what I'm hoping comes out of this news. God never intended the Israelites to live with the Philistines, Ammorites, Ammonites etc.

are you kidding me! what's this one again. first Na Biafra again Na Israel oga ......ooo

MadCow1:
I hope that these Igbos forming Jews and Judahism realise that the Jews don't believe that Jesus is the messiah.

Ethnicity is not synonymous with religion. Many of the first Christians were Jews. You seem to be upset with this news... sorry about that .

Have you actually read this book? What it says is that some Igbos strongly identify with a the concept of a Jewish identity while vigorously denying their own African ancestry which is more evident than their imagined Jewish one.
The book is actually a psychological study of why the Igbos are so desperate to be accepted as Jews. It actually doesn’t make a categorical affirmation that Igbos are Jews.
