Uru or Uhu exists in most Igbo towns. We have Uhuafor and Uhuagu in my town.

Abagworo:
I strongly condemn and reject the addition of Agbor to Igboland. Ika has nothing to offer other than contaminating Igbos with their identity crisis.

Urueze. Eze's home. It means that the progenitor of that compound was a man by the name, EZE. All parts of Urueze are decendants of Eze's home/compound.

Urueze in that case means Eze's family.

Handsomegod:
Oga sir. Once again,i refer to this discussion strictly for academic purposes.I therefore shall not subject it to a back and forth debate with you. Facts are sacred in the field of science and history. (1). The first link you provided failed to address the issue. (2). The second links you provided above failed to address the issues once again. The authors were more interested in attacking those with contrary viewpoints rather than providing superior arguments. (3) I recommended 2 key Igbo scholars who have even written books and made numerous presentations on this matter but you waved them aside and further called them delusional,yet again failing to provide alternative facts. (4) I provide works of foreigners who researched on Igbo norms and practices strictly for academic purposes. The also noted the Hebraic-Igbo similarities. You once again stampeded on their works and questioned their sincerity without providing alternative superior viewpoints. (5). I earlier mentioned and noted the exactitude of core Igbo and Hebraic beliefs but you called them historical accidents. (6) Weather Igbos came from Israel or Isrealites came from Igbos is not my concern. The interesting similarities between both stocks is it. It has also sparked more academic interests in recent times than on any other Igbo related topic,except Biafra. Infact,late Professor Catherine Acholonu wrote a book titled "They Came Before Adam" which support the hypothesis that the ancient Isrealites migrated from Igboland! That Igbos are the original progenitors of the superior race Guess what? She provided lots of links and artefacts to prove and validate that position! Now sir,thats an academic inquiry that should rattle every genuine Igboman who wish to understand our existence. (7) Olaudah Equiano wrote in his memoirs that while his captor's son was reading a portion of the old testament on a certain day,He(Olaudah) told him point blank that all he read out were his culture back home! Igbos and Hebrews share almost all core beliefs and traditions. (. There is a utility in every learning. Approaching them with an open mind devoid of preconceived bias and repulsion will edify us all better. (9) A lot was lost in history which we may never grasp. However,flickers and clues here and there are the guide posts in connecting the links. Ndewo sir.

Uhuala can mean an AREA/PLACE that is at a lowland/valley/plain, as against others that are in a hilly place.

Mmanwu watching in Nnobi, Anambra state

We also have Ute - Enugu community and Orji community in Ika north east.

B2mario:
Oga, this one is not mmanwu, this is Ekpo. Check the difference between the two.

So there is a difference between Mnanwu and Ekpo? didn't know untill now.

B2mario:
Oga, this one is not mmanwu, this is Ekpo. Check the difference between the two.

InyinyaAgbaOku:
All of a sudden, sharing some beliefs is a proof your ancestors migrated from a place.
What a funny matter. What of the ones Igbos share with other people, shouldn't that help?

Peruse those documents again and see the legions of differences and tell me which ones have more points?

The only commonality I even see is day 8 circumcision, every other thing is hogwash.
No similarity in religion, just nothing.
If Christianity or the Bible never occurred via colonialism, how would you have had contact with the Old Testament? In other words, without colonialism, you would have been 'historyless'.
The question is, what did your grandpa tell you about the origin of your clan?

Invite your village chief priests into your home and ask them to do incantations for you, and tell me whether what they say has anything to-do with the Bible .

Did you see Amadioha, Ani, etc in the Bible?
Some of you play too much

odogwu125:

Let him go and read Leviticus, numbers and Deutronomy. All are purely igbo cultural practices.

Abagworo:


Egbelu is also popular in Southern axis.

BankeSmalls:


Igbos are Jewish decedent , all Igbo traditions have roots in the Holy Bible, that's why the ancestors embraced it more. Special status for sons, bravery and survival against all odds are more traits and beliefs igbos share with their Jewish ancestors.

Abagworo:
I strongly condemn and reject the addition of Agbor to Igboland. Ika has nothing to offer other than contaminating Igbos with their identity crisis.

B2mario:
Ok. But i think it only exist in few communities in Ngwa/Asa area of Abia state, Ngor-okpala and Ohaji/Egbema axis of Imo state and Rivers state.

B2mario:
I totally disagree with you on this, mr. Abagworo.

InyinyaAgbaOku:


You are the one who shoved aside facts, to pursue inanities here. The second link clearly gave the histories of most Igbos clans. None is Jewish.
Eri was described as a progenitor, sky deity, not a migrant. Or did you see any Israeli linkages there? There, Only was said to have their progenitor from the ground, same as Owerri.
How many of your ancestors told you differently? Why should I accept such colonial influence on my history of all things?
There is nothing like providing alternative facts to yours, cos that Jewish linkage isn't a fact.
The articles disproved why the Hebrew linkage is a farce and everything said there is true. You are yet to defend that, just stuck on insisting you came from Hebrew for no good reason.

Archeological studies of Awka and Nsukka gave Igbo history at around 8000 BC, I was thinking that the newer archeological discoveries done at Nsukka (of 4000 BC) would have opened your eyes but you rather prefer fallacies. As at 8000bc, Abraham wasn't even born.
If anything, it's Hebrews that migrated from some parts of Igboland.

Afam4eva:

Is Orji not in Owerri?

horsepower101:


It really is a big insult to our ancestors. Just because there was some similarities doesn't mean that we are the same with the Jews. It time we stop pushing this Jewish stories which are simply false.

Just because a tortoise is similar to a turtle doesn't mean a tortoise is the same as a turtle.

deadkamalu:
accepting the jewish tag is nauseating and disheartening at the same time as it reeks inferiority complex. the igbos are a pure negro stock. its pure bs saying we are jews.

horsepower101:


We are not mixed with anything. DNA evidence has already disproven that. Please guys lets squash this myth once and all.

BankeSmalls:


We the Agbor indigenous community are Igbos. My grandfather lived with the British at Agbor oki, we speak Igbo and observe all Igbo traditions. You have no rights whatsoever to reject us.

You didn't create us.
