Bagehot:


Oddly enough, I have often wondered myself. I've read of ancient Yoruba interacting with Bini, Nupe (Sango's mother and Egungun culture were from here), Dahomey, Hausa-Fulanis and even Malians (fun-fact Islam was originally referred to as "Esin Imali", as it was travelling Malians that introduced it to Yoruba land). But never read of Igbos. Would be nice to know though.

That you have not read,doesn't mean that such relationship don't exist.
It's simply means two things. You are ignorant of that fact or simply refused to read.
Igbos have had an extensive narrative of mingling with their neighbours in pre history.
What we call Yoruba and Igbo today are just creation of the 19th-20th century and are mainly cultural and ethno linguistic identities.
Prior colonialism, identity and acquizition of languages was fluid,meaning that people interacted with others and were bilingual in boundary regions.
Igbos have a well established relationship with Annangs, Benin, Efik, Ibibio, Ijaw, Idoma and Igala.
Some communities even share dual identity and culture.
Would suggest you read extensively if you wish to know.

so igbos think say them be jews. And some stupid onyinbus came to find out. they no de see HEAD! Or the Jews too get BIG FLAT HEAD

Bro you are totally wrong. Please don't misquot scriptures for your leisure.

oluwaahmed:
Igbos are not jews. Igbos are probably Israeli, Ders a difference. Jews are descendants 4rm d tribe of Judah. While or jews are Israeli, all Israeli are not jews. First of all, original isreali cld neva hav bn white. Moses, Samson & jesus wer described as being black.
Do u expect a white jew to tell u he is a settler & dat isreal is not deir true home? Many jews wer british/spanish/italian dat laid seige 2 jerusalem durin durin d "crusades"
Let us search scripture 2 confirm wat am sayin:Further proof that Moses was "black" can be found in Exodus  4:6-7, In this passage, Yah / YHWH, (The Creator's name in Hebrew) is showing Moses miracles so that he can prove to the children of Israel who sent him. YAH tells Moses to put his hand into his bosom, which he does. When he takes his hand out, it is LEPROUS (White) as snow. If Moses was already white-skinned, what would have been the miracle in turning the skin of his hand white?


Matthew 2:13: 13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of Yah appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.

14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:

Joseph, Miriam and Yahshuah were told to flee into Egypt,  not for military protection, because during this time, Egypt was a Roman province under Roman control. They fled into Egypt because Egypt was still a "black" country, populated by a majority of black-skinned people (Egyptians). Joseph, Miriam and Yahshuah would have been just another black-skinned family among many. Remember, they fled into Egypt to HIDE from Herod who was seeking to kill Yahshuah.

If Yahshuah and the rest of the Hebrews looked like those pictures of the "Christian Christ", it would have been hard for him to hide in Egypt and not be noticed.

I cld go on & on wit evidences of how d true jews & isreali wer black. Howeva NK & IPOB shd stop deir agitatn, because as true isrealites dis is not our home(eastern nigeria or Biafra). Yahweh has promised to send Yashua 2 deliver us back 2 our country & chase out invaders dat lay claim 2 d holy land. Hence many of our pple will die in dis agitatn, because it's not d will of Yahweh.
Jeremiah 23:3-6
“I myself will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them and will bring them back to their pasture, where they will be fruitful and increase in number. I will place shepherds over them who will tend them, and they will no longer be afraid or terrified, nor will any be missing,” declares the Lord. “The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will raise up to David a righteous Branch, a King who will reign wisely and do what is just and right in the land. In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. This is the name by which he will be called: The Lord Our Righteousness.

I don't want to believe you fell into the category of people our dilector was referring to..

Majority of us with herds mentality (aka ipob) are judas descendant. Period!

Minority like yourself can go and drink ewedu.

There is really no point responding to you after this dropping this comment.
While this thread is serving as a source for exchanging views about African ancestry ,it is unfortunately a platform to dump your unintelligent sentiments about igbos.
Good riddiance.

toofit007:
you people can keep on writing trash but you can never cover the truth, I was there when the true results were handed over.... DNA confirmed igbos are Jew..... Israel from the tribe of Gad. I will soon upload the video of everything that happened on Saturday and how happy those that brought the DNA results from you USA were. meanwhile, educate yourself a little bit through this link and stop feeding the public with lies https://www.naijaonpoint.com/latest-nigerian-news-today/jewish-scientists-storm-anambra-to-present-confirmatory-dna-test-of-igbo-origin-photos.html?doing_wp_cron=1502035472.0048060417175292968750

Can you give the video then?

Seriously, were you expecting to be confirmed Jews? Do you know the distance between Israel and Igboland?
Are some people this slow?

the thread is about igbo not being jews

make Igbo park go isreal who want dubious people in our mix

dubious person and a ritualist that hack humans parts which one is better, in my language we use to say zama da munafuki gwama barawo.

Honestly i dont know whats wrong with these ewedu people.

Do you think Igbos really give a Bleep about being Jews?

Out of jealousy and hatred you wish the story is not true and have been trying every means necessary just to debunk the fact so that when you sleep you will cowardly beat your chest and think your on same level with the Igbos.

Igbos are unique deal with it

What are dey saying and what is this pig and idiot saying?

ezeagu:


Well, the Igbo and Yoruba languages are related, so if the Igbo have no history of origin, the same is for Yoruba.

Sigh. Here we go again.

KemjikaEme:

Which group in Nigeria including the Yorubas, Edo, Hausa and Igala have effectively released the nature of the origin without depending on external documentation and narratives?

Do the Yorubas know their origin apart from the fallen Oduduwa myth and complicated references to the middle east?
Why do you think Igbos are only in this when it clear that many groups residing in Nigeria don't know their origins?
Tribalism is evil.

I agree with you on this, and it's unfortunate hatred between the two tribes will continue to conceal certain facts.
Historical Oduduwa is an important reference point in our recent history which dates back to not less than 20,000 years. The yoruboid group is the same as the Niger-Congo group of which the Igbo is an integral part. Our ancient settlement after Congo was the bank of river Niger, from where we all separated and our common language , yoruboid metamorphosed into different languages; which is why you find traces of aboriginal igbos in Benue, from where they crossed to found NRI and igboland. Seek the help of linguists and you'll be shocked at the unperceived semblance of Igbo with Yoruba. Do you think the name Igbo is an accident? Yorubas were originally known as Ugbo, just the way Omo became Umu, orun(neck)became onu, omi(water) became miri, akata(fox or dog) became inkita, ika (finger) remains ika and the list is endless. Then genetic mapping of African tribes shows the DNA report of 99.9% identical between igbos and yorubas. Its not a case of one tribe coming from another, rather it's a case of separation. This is the case with most of the tribes in southern Nigeria and even the north with the exception of the Fulani's with Afro Asian origin.

Bagehot:


Sigh. Here we go again.

It's not by force to comment, notice me.

Note, that old civilization on the bank of the Niger is the Old Ife, Ife Oodaiye( the cradle or source) from which we all separated from. Take it or leave it.

This is falsehood propagated by that OBAT man to lay stake to having the superior throne in yoruba land. It's total balderdash.

What a confused race.

I was in the hospital and laughing out almost too loud. It got people staring at me like "is this dude okay?"

IGBO are bastardy- DNA result. Igbo find themselves in identity controversy.

Thanks. You expressed the same thoughts i had i mind.
The multiplicity of Nigerian groups in Nigeria is a result of years of differenciation of languages, atomization and acquizition of distinct identities.
Linguistics have already demonstrated that we all descended from common ancestors while genetics lends a more credible support of that fact.
Personally,i have stumbled on lots of related words between Igbo, yoruba, ldoma and igala languages.

I don't believe a jewish origin of Igbos but realize the need to be open minded on a journey that may possibly establish an authentic history of our origin. It might not end up in the middle east but may give as an insight into who we are and the factors that led to our presence in West Africa. When i use 'we', i mean all of the Niger Congo groups considering the fact that we are all related.
According to Linguistics, Fulanis are also Niger Congo people.
The only issue of contention here is whether they were originally Niger Congo or people that assimilated a Niger Congo language.

Igbo are Jews. They mistake blood of OSU to Igbo.

Sagay212:
But why would any body be envious if the igbos are Jews? I really don't understand the happiness of some igbos behind being Jews. Does it mean you feel less of yourself at the moment? Does it mean that the Jews are better people than you are? How can you say we are all equal before God and still rejoice if you discover you are Jews? Any body can claim to be whatever they want. Abeg leave them to enjoy their new identity.

Don't worry, this trend will make you well. Igbo is in identity crises right now.

obailala:
But for crying out loud, what exactly is the benefit of being a Jew?... What's all this campaign about being jewish or not got to do with anything?... If DNA test proves a positive link, would it then force the fiercely racist Israelis to love the Igbo ethnic group or would it make Israel come down and start developing alaigbo?

So now you know they're racist. After Kanu and his fellow pigs and idiots rode Netayanhu's pink dīck

KemjikaEme:

Not every Igbo believe that Igbos are jews and not every Igbo support Kanu,so i don't understand why you are drawing inferences and being stereotypical. I'm here to educate ignorant folks like you that Igbo and other Southern groups in Nigeria share same ancestry.

From being by force Jew to sharing the same ancestors with all southerners by force by force. I think Igbos should take a break from social media and all these controversies, look inwards for deeper reflection. This is a time for reflection on the deeper meanings of what binds Igbos together than engaging in social media argument and making ridiculously sharp turns on collecting ideologies. Everyday seems to come up with new struggles and non pre-existing ideas being propagated by just one ethnic group. Haba! Just take a break please, it's getting embarrassing and demeaning.

muykem:

Pathetic to say the least. I wasn't sick, I took someone there. Igbos really need some rest from so much controversies.

Igbos are unique deal with it

i av no buiz bin tribalistic but wen kids cum online to spew trash sum1 jus as to spank them. .. for a start yu must b a fool as to ur opinion cos u disregarded facts.
wayback from history til date the igbos av neva succeeded in any course they championed nor support ..
from angle of politics d igbos are learners n stil remain learners ... hence y they ar on d back roll.
infrastructure wise,, they claim to be the reason fr development of any other developed region but yet there region they cannt turn to dubai ..buhari fault
igbos claim to b mother of trade/business yet richest business mogul 1-5 they ar no where.
their is huge differences btw wat yu think n way reality states ...no doubts igbos are unique wit traits like,,rebelliousness,,greed,,no manners/Disrespectfully,,condoling money crimes,,"our son/brother" the only time igbos fake unity is wen another tribe is around. the moment they are alone they can neva agree on one thing ,,unique indeed a tribe where evrybody wana lead ... a failure tew is unique but the igbos av got nuttin ...any sane tribe wil envy or crave for.

mansakhalifa:
@obailala have you ever heard of the Beta Israel of Ethiopia or Ethiopian Jews? That is the answer to your first question. Massive airlift to Israel for all.

So in essence, the desperate attachment to Israel is to force the state of Israel to come and evacuate 50 million Igbos from Nigeria to where exactly?... Or probably to secure military assistance in case of a war?... Na wa oo.. A group of people just hell bent on ridiculing an entire tribe...

sukkot:
not really. pygmy is the description of a person. igbo ancestors were very short .

Pygmy is a race of people from the Congo region basin (mostly short people)of which in the bigger context of geography Nigeria falls under,haven't you heard the word "Congo Man"?

Alaniyiokorausa:
hahahahah Afonjaism is a diseases they wish is not true. bro you have no option but to like this people called Igbo's they are unique

As usual. Yorubas always giving you nightmares

You drink Yoruba, you sleep Yorùbá, you eat Yorùbá

Always screaming their name like you're being fvcked in the ass

The thread is about you being fake jews, you screamed Yorùbá. Flatinōs always blaming their Yoruba masters for every problem in their miserable lives. Some of them even blame us for their low sperm count

sapele914:

Yes I have heard of "ewu Congo" he's an Igbo man selling adulterated drugs in sabon gari market in Kano.
