origin of the igbo race: the truth and the myth by Nobody: 6:53pm On Jul 23, 2014
The truth about Igbo origin
There have been various tales
of Igbo origin, some true and
others false. Those true are,
stories from Onu Igbo (from
the mouth of Igbo without
outside influencing); however,
those that are false are, either
unintentional and due to the
lack of traditional history and
foreign exploitation, or
intentional and due to the
works of dubious foreign
entities who prey on people who have witnessed
oppression and are deemed fit to be used as tools
for a selfish agenda.
The Igbo are orally and archeologically proven to
have migrated from no other area apart from the
Niger-Benue confluence. It is this area that blood
related groups such as the Yoruba, Idoma, Edo (Bini,
Esan, Urhobo/Isoko, Etsako, Afemai), and Igala
dispersed into various groups. The Igbo have no
tradition of coming from anywhere else other than
the nuclear Igbo area of the Owerri-Awka- Orlu-
Okigwe axis, which happens to support the
archeological findings.
The Falsity of Jewish ancestry
There have been attempts by various Zionist Jewish
entities to try and sew Ndi Igbo into a “Jewish”
ancestry. One of their deceptions is through the
painting of the Biblical Eri and the Igbo Eri as one in
the same. Those who are well versed in the Holy
Bible, Igbo Traditions, and history as I, know that this
claim is totally and grossly absurd. To begin, the
names Eri (the son of Gad) of the Bible and Eri of the
Igbo race are pronounced two completely different
ways. The ‘E’ of the Biblical/Jewish Eri is equivalent to
the ‘e’ in Easter and the ‘ri’ is equivalent to the ‘ri’ in
ride. Examples of similar biblical names with long ‘E’
pronunciations are Elijah(ee LIE ja), Elisha(ee LIE
sha), Egypt(ee jippt), and Esau(ee SAW). In contrast,
the ‘E’ in the Igbo Eri is as the ‘e’ in echo and the ‘ri’ is
as the ‘ree’ in reed. Examples of similar Igbo names
with short ‘E’ pronunciations are Emeka, Enyi, Ebere,
and Enugu. The only thing the Biblical/Jewish Eri
shares with the Igbo Eri is the Latin Script in which it
is written in. This is a major deception that is used on
the Igbo who are unable to acquire access to the
truth.
Another reason why the claim of the Biblical Eri and
the Igbo Eri as one in the same is laughable is both
the Bible and Igbo tradition prove it to be false. The
biblical Eri (the son of Gad) was said to have been
born during the biblical times of Genesis. The Book
of Genesis is said to have been written in 1400 BC.
That is over 1,400 years before Jesus Christ was even
born. The Bible itself was completed roughly 2,000
years ago, so the time difference between the
completion of the Holy Bible and the birth of the
biblical/Jewish Eri is enormous. Do keep in mind that
the completion of the Book of Genesis was a
collection of records of events over thousands of
years, according to religious doctrine and beliefs. In
Contrast to the years of the biblical/Jewish Eri, the
Igbo Eri is barely over 1,000 years old. Eri was the
father of Nri, who establish a kingdom between
948-1000 AD and lasted in major influence up till
1911. Obviously Igbo and Jewish faithful are being
taken for a ride. The two figureheads were two
completely different individuals and had no
connection whatsoever. Also, the Igbo Eri is not the
progenitor of the Igbo race. He is the father of the
Nri, Aguleri, and Umuleri clans of the Igbo race.
Trying to link the entire Igbo race to this one man/
figure is another attempt to sew the Igbo into Jewish
ancestry. In fact, the Igbo are from a land of
vegetation and have no tradition of migrating from
anywhere outside the Niger-Benue Confluence;
however, the Jews believe they migrated from a place
known as “The Garden of Eden”, a place of vegetation
and which they are yet to find the location of this
particular place of origin of theirs. Going by the facts
I just stated, if there is any of the two groups that is
the ancestor of the other it is the Igbo that would be
the ancestor of the Jews.
“While these Eastern theories of Igbo origin have
been rejected by African historians as a worthless
piece of creative imagination, “the theory resurfaced
during the Biafra-Nigeria Civil War (1967 – 1970)
when the Igbo race nearly accepted the suggestion
that they were Israelites or Jews. This was because
the Igbos associated the mass destruction of the
Civilian Igbo race living in the Northern region of
Nigeria with the genocide of the Jews in
Nazi .Germany during the Second World War. The
Biafrans of the Nigerian civil war also attributed the
source of hatred for both Jews in Europe and the
Igbos in Nigeria to their enterprising nature,
economic and intellectual capability which were seen
by others as an attempt to monopolize the economic
and political power of the nation.”
As Emma Onwuzurike remarked in Nguma Uvuru
(1991): “This unfortunate incident compounded the
problem of Igbo origin. It even pressed the Jewish
origin almost to a convincing point. However, the
Hebrew or Jewish origin of the Igbos is part of the
basic theory of Nigerian people origin which has
been discarded by African historians as an
unauthentic theory”
The decline of Judaism and the hope of its resurrection
There is an agenda to spread Jewish culture and
religion throughout Africa, and Igboland in
particular. This is an agenda due to the reality that
out of the three Abrahamic religions (Christianity,
Islam, and Judaism), Christianity and Islam are on
the rise and at an astounding rate to the point many
Jews are crossing over to the two religions. What
does this mean? It means Jewish culture and religion
is slowly being eaten up and withered away. This is
where to fraudulent Zionist Jews come in, who I
repeat, do not represent average Jew. In order to
revive their culture and religion they have to spread
and for now, Africa is the greatest breeding ground
for that. Africa is a place where many are oppressed
and low self-esteem is prevalent. The ethnic groups
in Africa that these Jews, who don’t represent the
masses, target are those who have been battered and
ostracized by fellow countrymen as the Igbo of
Nigeria have been. The Zionist Jews have gone as far
as to use the deaths of over 3 million Igbo people
(before, during, and after the Biafra War) and the
destruction of the Igbo race by the Nigerian
government as comparison to the Jewish Holocaust
as a way of drawing more support for their
colonization agenda. In the process of the agenda
and spreading Jewish culture, they intend to
completely wipe out Igbo culture and Language and
replace Igbo with that of the Jews. For instance, an
organization by the name of Yitzhak Rabin for African
Development is to construct an International
Institute/ Resource Center, for the teaching of
Hebrew language, the history of the Jewish nation,
and other science related courses(according to
Jewish doctrine) in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.​ This is
despicable and unacceptable.
The denial of Christ
Jesus Christ as called by Christian or Jesus the son of
Mary as called by Muslims is a being held dear to
both Christianity and Islam. To Christians, Jesus
Christ is not only the Messiah, the light, truth, and the
way to salvation, but he is also God in the flesh. To
Muslims, Jesus the son of Mary is a prophet, pure,
and sent by Allah into the world through a virgin
birth. Jesus is one held in high veneration in both
Christianity and Islam and both religions believe that
if you reject him you reject God or Allah. However,
Judaism completely rejects Jesus as one sent from
the Almighty God. In Judaism he is seen as no more
than a teacher and believed to have been a fraud that
died because of blasphemy. This is a belief that must
be accepted in order to be a follower of Judaism- the
rejection of Christ. Pulling children away from the
WORD of God is one of the goals, an act that both the
Holy Bible and the Holy Qur’an warns against. Such
blasphemes must be rejected. As of present, there
are synagogues in Igboland in which are used to
deceive Christian Igbos into Judaism. These
synagogues are the one Igbo Christians are brought
to in which a phony teaching of Christ is taught.
These particular synagogues are preludes to the
bigger deception of completely denying Jesus Christ.
It is put in place to slowly pull the Christian Igbo away
from Christ because they know trying to have a
faithful Christian denounce Christ right away is highly
unlikely. The game is to relate to the Christian Igbo,
make him think they are not against his belief but
instead have a different point of view, and then take
him to the main synagogue in which the total denial
of Christ/ Jesus the son of Mary is completed. The
Igbo Muslim population is also targeted in this
similar manner but the tendency is very slim. We
must reject this In the Name of God.
Respect of Identity
Both Christianity and Islam have entered into
Igboland without the need of Christians or Muslims
to rewrite Igbo history in order to promote its
religion and win over converts. Jews do not have to
do the opposite in order to reach this goal. Ndi Igbo
are not against Judaism in Igbo land but we are
unrepentantly against the revision of our history. We
Igbo have suffered enough, not just genocide, and
are fed up with those taking our kindness for
weakness. Let this be a plea and a warning for those
fraudulent elements to stand clear of Igbo land or
meet your waterloo.
