Chef2000:Not all Igbos but we have some Jews living among us. This is a fact and dont dispute it. Isus and Ndokis are the oldest Igbos. And they were later joined by the Nris, Aros and the Orsus who might possibly be the Jews. |

B2mario: Are you sure about the Ndokis? Because I know they are not that old. Their history is known. I think in antiquity, the Isus should be the oldest in Igboland. They exist in Enugu, Anambra, Abia, Imo, Ebonyi, Anioma. I don't know of any Isu town in Igboid Rivers. Many Isu people don't even know that they are Isu. I think something must have happened to the Isu civilization in the past, causing them to scatter and lose their identity. Perhaps the entrance of new groups into their area, who overwhelmed them in battle. |

pazienza:You are right. Mmanwu is more pronounced among the Orlus/Arondizuogu of Imo state and some part of Anambra. Though these areas still have Ekpo known as Ebuebu and Okonkon. |
Re: . by pazienza(m): 6:14pm On Oct 03, 2018 |
B2mario: Enugu people still call it Mmanwu, likewise Orumba parts of Anambra, and Umunneochi parts of Abia. Mmanwu should be the most widespread spiritual institution in Igboland. 3 Likes 1 Share |

pazienza:Mmanwu is totally different from Ekpo which originated from Ejagham, Cross river. Ekpo has a wooden caved marsk (i.e face) like the one shown by Mr. Kenneth and it's predominant in Abia, Ebonyi and Enugu while Mmanwu mostly predominant in Orlu axis of Imo and some of part Anambra is designed abroad, very colourful without marsk and it's faceless and eyeless. Their voices sound like whistle. In the middle part of their front they have something like rug that runs from the head to the toe. some contain mirrors all over their bodies. They might be short or very tall. The short ones are known as AKAKPO while the tall ones are called OPI-OGOLO. 1 Like |

B2mario:I've noticed that we Igbos don't think big. We're always myopic in our thinking, that's why someone can say that Obosi and Orji are not in Onitsha and Owerri respectively when cities outgrow their current limit and become bigger with time. As far as i'm concerned Owerri stretches as far as Ogbaku in Mbaitoli Loca government. Let's think big and stop making our cities look like little hamlets. 4 Likes |

Abagworo: So you want throw away Igbo land because of 5% migrant dewellers who have adopted Igbo land as theirs and their future generations. They are welcome as long as they behave themselves and stop distorting history. 2 Likes 1 Share |

B2mario: Most of them are original Ika people. Facebook is not as faceless as here. You can go through their facebook accounts and see their family members. Moreover, the Onu Ika facebook page is the official and most popular Ika facebook book page, there is no way it would be ran by impostors. They are Ika people. You can join and see for yourself. 2 Likes |

Hey guyz.. Where do u think the migration of igbo to present Nigeria started.. For me i think itz from the Cameroon.. |

InyinyaAgbaOku: From this your post, it shows that different Igbo towns have different origins. This our so-called Igbo land is beginning to really confuse me. I thought that just as all Yoruba people claim Oduduwa and ile ife is the same way all Igbo people came from Eri in Aguleri but, Igbo people's own must always be different. I just tire for Igbo people. |
Re: . by B2mario(m): 7:15pm On Oct 03, 2018 |
Afam4eva:Correct. If Obosi and Orji are not parts of Onitsha and Owerri respectively, it means that the two towns has not gotten up to a city size and should not be accorded a city status. |
Re: . by Nobody: 7:27pm On Oct 03, 2018 |
aniomafirstson: not just them, Igbos have more fair people than other tribes in Nigeria, the population of fair Igbo people is very high amongst the total Igbo population. This may be as a result of foreign blood but no one knows. |

mightguy: Israel got its independence in 1948, that was the year some Jews migrated to the new country. Those Jews who migrated to Israel in 1948 came from different European countries and most of them were Jewish converts not the real Israelites. Take a visit to Israel, you will notice that Israelis are the only people in the middle east that look different from Arabs because, most of them were actually Europeans who practiced Judaism. You can also visit some parts of Lagos like Ikoyi, Lekki and Apapa where you will see lots of Middle Easterners from Israelis to Lebanese and Saudi Arabians, you will notice the clear difference between the so-called real Israelites and other middle Easterners. |

Afam4eva: Owerri capital territory is made up of Owerri west LG, Owerri North LG, Owerri Municipal and Mbaitoli LG. These 4 LGAs makeup Owerri metropolis. |

nnamdijonathan: Igbo is not a tribe. A tribe can have a single origin. A nation can have diverse origins. You can talk about the origins of the tribes that inhabitted Igboland; the Isus, Ngwas, Aros and so on. 3 Likes |
