Not true. The current name is Obuga. You won't find anyone other than Hebrew wannabes calling it Obu-Gad.

As regards your link and onyxes, the writer says they reportedly have Gad written on them in old Hebrew. 'Reportedly'. The writer hasn't seen the onyxes, apparently.

I wish he had; that would give more weight to his words. I need to see these onyxes. Why doesn't anyone seem to have a bleeding picture? I need to see it! Then I need to hear what an archaeologist or a geologist can tell us about how old they are. And what a Hebrew scholar has to say about the authencity of the inscriptions.

There are such things as hoaxes, my friend. Every claim has to be checked out and verified.

Oh! And Israel might be their God's people...every people to their God

Even ur holy book knows that...I assume you are Jewish

Radoillo already corrected the fallacy about the name "Obu-Gad" do u need to see his post again?

you are the mad man here, coming all the way from God knows where to make ridiculous claims, not even one has been found to be true...including the bold

And I suppose you know more about Igbo all the way from Kenya or is it Ethiopia you said you from here's the insane calling me mad

macof:
obviously I know the meaning of the word "report"...I don't need this

But certainly you need this..
Reportedly:
according to what some say (used to express the speaker's belief that the information given is not necessarily true).



Apply this definition to this ..." the discovery in the area of an onyx stone reportedly bearing the
name "Gad""

the Igbo Jews gave the report, but obviously an untrue report...otherwise the stone would be made public immediately it was discovered to have "Gad" inscribed on it..till now, that Stone is Unknown

Here's from the link


You should not the bold...meaning the stone is still very mysterious and hasn't been seen to be what Igbo Jews claim
Yet we haven't seen this mysterious stone in public found in the "area". What area are they even talking about?

This is so pathetic. I read ur link and it's only a claim by an Igbo Jew
If such stone existed why are there no pictures anywhere? Why have Aguleri people not come out to back up the claim of the stone's existence?

Radoillo:


There was a paper I saw a couple of years back that deals with some questions raised by this 'Gad' inscription. I haven't seen it since, but it did make a case which isn't difficult to follow.

First, the Biblical Eri lived well before the Hebrews adopted the Semitic alphabet. So, assuming that they were writing anything at the time, there was no way they were using anything like the so-called 'Paleo-Hebrew inscription' that I have seen. Simple point, really.

Second, since no similar 'Paleo-Hebrew inscription' is known from Israel,there is no way really to prove that the Aguleri 'Gad' is anything but Gibberish.

These onyx stones, what are they? You have pictures? I want to have a look.

Thank you,i would appreciate it.

Ihuomadinihu:

Pls can you repost or re open a new thread for this topic. I want to have serious contributors ,scholars and researchers from the igbo ethnic group on it.

Why can’t we call down fire from heaven? Again?

God is the same today, tomorrow and forever after all, unlike before when the contest was really between god and baal today we have hundreds of religion. This has been a major source of confusion. Why can't he just solve the problem same way he did before...unless of course he is a lazybone. Here is what we will do; First we will make a pile of wood, secondly we top it up with water, thirdly we pray, dance or do whatever that would move our god to action and Finally if our god bring down fire from heaven and consume our sacrifice we win! Congratulations! Now go kill the losing teams(1 Kings 18:40). Simple! . BBC, CNN, Al Jazeera and all major medias would be watching, Billions would be watching! we use a large stadium, we invite representatives from all religions, thats all!

I miss the good old days when god will rain fire on those who even look at him, the days he splits seas, consume sacrifices. All these stop since the invention of cameras. Is he now shy of the cameras, who did this to god?

You mean, why would white supremacy say that a people were 'caucasoid' and fair skinned in the middle east, until they migrated to West Africa after being cursed by the most high where they became backward heathens revelling in gods curses until the British came and revealed their 'origin' which they didn't have the competency to find out on their own?

Why would they say that?

ezeagu:


Oh, okay, so we're telling you as people who have a relatively firm grasp on Igbo history and culture that this theory is nonsense. Igbo people migrated, like the rest of West Africans, from populations around the great lakes region. They are ancient and much older than Israel or Judea.

ezeagu:


It's white supremacist fault.

Radoillo:


Now I'm curious about your ethnicity.

ezeagu:


Actually, they weren't, missionaries and colonial governments started the theory to justify their colonisation of the area, i.e the Igbo people colonised the area so we're carrying on a tradition of subjugating people in the area. The theory is white-supremacist, they denigrate Igbo culture by calling the Igbo "idol" worshippers and people who angered god, hence slavery. Keep the shi t.

Radoillo:



It's hard to keep up with you, bruv. First, Igbos belong to the tribe of Gad, now they belong to the tribe of Ephraim? Let's keep the story straight, shall we?

Radoillo:


Which Hebrew scripts? The one curious-looking inscriptions which were once claimed to be Hebrew writings have been proven to be a hoax.



Can you post pictures of these Igbo stars of David, and prove that they were used by pre-Colonial Igbo?



Actually this point is destroying your case, not making it. Abraham, the ancestor of the Hebrews belong to a much later age than 3000 BC. If we were here by 3000 BC, then we are most definitely not Hebrews.



What Egyptian Model? What Egyptian Model?



Make up your mind. Are we pre-Abrahamic Hebrew (3000BC, remember?), or are we from the city of David (which the Hebrews didn't capture until about 1000BC, two thousand years later?)



I've seen pictures of this so-called paleo-Hebrew, and it has been dismissed as a hoax.



You have pictures of this throne and this writing? Eri built this throne and wrote that? Bro, Hebrews of Eri's time (the Biblical Eri, that is) wrote nothing in any Hebrew script. They hadn't adopted the Semitic alphabet at the time. If they wrote anything, it would be in Egyptian hieroglyphics.



Which coins have the star of David on them? Anyway, let's assume some coins actually do have the Star of David inscribed on them. Weak-ass 'evidence', still...if I've ever heard one. You might as well say we are Arabs because of the Arabic writing on some of our notes.
