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”

Well, this thread will bring problem.
