The Jewish claim is very strategic. He is fighting for the hearts of the Jewish public. I have a feeling that he will win because after the TV news, I am sure so many Israelis went online immediately to look up Biafra and learn for themselves what is going on in Nigeria.
thank you boss. And with all this current Jewish witch hunting going on in America.... That is to show the world that Jews are in trouble and Nigeria Jews are also in trouble...lol. I love this

Igbos are not Jews but Hebrew...which was bastardize to hibo then to Ibo to Igbo ...bros when Isreal Egypt some went south some went west and Igbo went south


The Igbo people (English: /ˈɪɡboʊ/; also Ibo,[3][4] formerly also Iboe, Ebo, Eboe,[5] Eboans,[6] Heebo;[7] natively Ṇ́dị́ Ìgbò [ìɡ͡bò]


There is no need to waste your energy trying to persuade or argue with anybody.

The question here is which other ethnic group have had their identity bastardised like the Igbo word.

It shows a concerted effort by the colonizers to stripe us of our identity, becos they know wat it means, whilst at the same time placing the star of David on Nigeria flag as a mark on our location.

The symbol during that period was meant to reflect something unique about each of the country. Wat was unique about Nigeria was the Star of David.

This is nothing new, the white Europeans went as far as defacing the statue in Egypt to conceal their African features.

It is not today that they started to work on the psychology of the black man to make him thing and believe of himself as inferior.

I also believe that the word Igbo is actually derived from Hebrew.

Can anybody that disagree tell us where the word Igbo came from?

I dont want to here coincidence becos each time I conduct research on Hebrew and Igbo, the coincidence is always too much.


see my moniker on this thread to see coincidence of igbo and hebrew.

the doubters demselves were left short of words.

Your civil war propaganda runs deep.
As I said, all you want to talk about is the civil war.
And you keep forgetting that it is your soldiers who invaded the midwest, not the other way around !
It seems you want to blame the invaded for defending themselves.
Craze.

Aniomas are Edos.
Late Ogbemudia and Murtala Muhamed were Edo.
Chief Agho Obaseki was Edo like all Anioma are.
You guys keep claiming things to be merely "Edo-influence" as a way to try and deny Edo-identity.
Edo speak several diffrent languages, including languages very close to igbo or even yoruba.


Aniomas are Edos you said, yet when Ojukwu appointed an Anioma man by the name Okonkwo, as the military administrator of newly created Bini republic, you Edo people kicked against it, and accused Ojukwu of foisting an Igbo man on you people, because you never considered Anioma people as one of you.
But today, we are told Anioma is Edo, and all I can say is "bah yawa", it is left for the Anioma people to decide, I for one are more than fully contented with Republic of Igboland consisting only of SE.

Aziza is an Isrealite masculine name meaning strong concordance.

However, the word origin is from Azaz.

Azaz is part of speech and means strong or prevail.

The word is deeply rooted in origin from Prime Root.

Prime Root refers to the brooms of old. That was the broom used by Igbo not the current one u see with APC.

Now, u look at dat little researchh and say coincidence but wen u go further on research u will find that Igbo language have a lot of similarity with Hebrew that settled in Europe.

Time and distance have seen some changes but the fact is the similarity are there.

If Israel is looking for a Vassal state in Africa. If they are willing to accept support our liberation effort from the demonic grip of Nigeria, if claiming Jewish or converting to Jewish religion can help speed up the whole process, then I would say, bring it on.
No price is too much for freedom, there is always room for future negotiations. Ojukwu was wary of making a young Biafra a vassal state of USSR, that's one of the reasons we lost the war. Yet today, USSR no longer exists, and people like Cuba who aligned with them to achieve their aims, are today free.

We should avoid making a second mistake.
I'm really curious to know whether Israel is in any bit interested in Biafra, or are they just temporarily using us to force Nigeria to drop their support for Palestine?

Israel must know that in a world where almost everyone hates them, having a real ally who loves them not for economic or strategic reasons, but purely for fundamental reasons isn't bad.

Looking at it all holistically, is Israel really free from USA control. Because we know that USA will always stand with Britain, and we all know that Britain still has strong ties with the Fulani gate keepers of Nigeria.

Israel isn't going to do anything to Nigeria, it's just fantasy, Nigeria exists because the global players, US, UK, France, etc. are happy for it to be like that, these countries like single markets they can control and operate in, in general the world isn't looking for new countries which would mean new competition (especially China and India).

Many people attach superstitious attachments to Israel, Israel is what it is through planning and alliance with the interests of the US and Western Europe, they are a market for westerners, and they check the power of Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries. Apart from that, Israel doesn't move the world like the US does.

Besides all that, Africans are black which means you are checked for exploitation, Israelis are white, which means they are allowed some room in the system. If you go under Israel you will be a puppet state and Israel isn't going to take on a big daddy role for free. You will also be huge targets for the whole world that hates Israel, but without the funding from the US (because you're black) and it would also be quite humiliating.

You of all people know fully well that I have no issue with Aniocha/Oshimili people, I belong to Oshimili and Aniocha facebook pages, and I know they are very much proud IGBO people, particularly Asaba. But once we use the name "Anioma", we would be inviting Ukwuani and Ika people.
You and I know that Ika people have a very strong predilection for Edo, while Ndokwa/Ukwuani are strongly pushing for independent ethnic nationality of their own and are more interested in playing the minority politics of Niger delta, alongside their Isoko and Urhobo neighbors than uniting with Ndiigbo.

Before 1948, Isreal did not sxist.

They obviously intermarried with other groups but the genetics can still be traced.
