Ihuomadinihu:

Lol. I should forget mythology? While it's the same mythology that you have used to claim prominence over other igbos.
I guess all Igbo mythologies apart from Nri are not important to igbo history.

MYTHS = TALKING THE TALK
REALITIES ON THE GROUND =WALKING THE WALK

Nri myths are backed up by realities on the ground e.g IKPU ALU, IGU ARO, NZE na OZO e.t.c

Now give me the pan-Igbo realities on the ground, that Owerri people would have used to butress their myths.

Amadioha no gree o

OfoIgbo:


let me put it this way
1. If your town has an Eke, Orie, Afor or Nkwo, that was put jn place before the coming of the white man, then your people had Nri influence back in the days, way before Aro emerged. They own the originating shrines of these market days. FULL STOP
2. If your people took such titles as nze, ozo, duru, mgburu-ichi, then your people habe Nri influence.
3. If your people recognised the Igbo year as celebrated by the Nris wherein years are ushered in, you have Nri influence
4. If our people have an ALU/ARU concept and depend on Nri to lift such abominations, then you have Nri influence

You will notice that most Igbos subscribe at least one or more of the above stipulations. NRI JI OFO.
NRI BU ISI IGBO

What gave you the silly impetus to arrogate the origin of Eke, Orie, Afor or Nkwo to Nri? Is there any thing in Igbo land other than Eke, Orie, Afor or Nkwo that its origin can be arrogated to Nri? Nri does not fly a tosh in my community.

Why not report is as Judaism is actually copied from Africa.Why cannot people think .There is nothing chosen special or superior about Judais or Jews

ezeagu:


Why are you replying me with this fraudster?

The fact that you disagree with him does not automatically make him a fraudster.

Okay, my question now is even if your were Jews or birthed the Jews or have a similar culture to Jews, why is it you Igbo people then insist on cursing the names of your forefather and their religion and run into demonic pentecostal churches and blasphemous imperialistic Anglican churches created so that an English king can legally divorce, and pedophilic Roman churches? Concocted religions white people made up to conquer people with. Why do you worship the idol and image of a white skinned blonde haired and blue eyed man who never mentioned your forefathers or of whom we're not even certain existed talk less of being a messiah (if you're a Jew, then Jesus is not your messiah) and why do you adhere to a book written thousands of miles and years away from your sacred land? Why is it you insist that your entire culture stops from being transferred to your children, and why do many of you swear that you will give your children useless foreign names you don't know the meaning of?

If your ancestors were sacred and you're a 'Jew', in fact, even if you aren't a Jew, why aren't you running back to the religions and cultures of your ancestors just like the Jews who were scattered across the earth did when they returned back to Israel. Are you aware of the fact that 200 years ago Hebrew was a dead language only theologians spoke? Do you know the Jewish people went back to Israel and revived the language and culture of their ancestors? Have you ever heard a Jew pondering about their possible origins or relations with Igboland?

Ask yourself these questions and then ask yourself why you're so die hard to be a Jew.

imhotep:

The fact that you disagree with him does not automatically make him a fraudster.

But he's still a fraudster. Or is it because he's white I should be honored that he would be 'bothered' with twisting and fabricating nonsense about 'Igbo culture'?

I don't need to taste a load of shit to know that it tastes like a load of shit. Anybody who is saying anything like "Obu Gad" while showing us pictures of a recently erected shabby cement shed with a funny looking cement "throne" and claiming this is where the 'Great Gad' foraged and birthed the Igbo people should be laughed at and not taken as anything else but a fraudster and a charlatan. But this is Africa where a white mans word carries the most weight no matter what is being said and for whatever reason, so I'm supposed to be in awe and shocked and surprised and doing shoki because he is 'interested' in using brainwashed Igbo mumus as a meal ticket. Like how we praise God when a white man does something as mundane as learn an African language or does something 'cultural' as if for the entirety of our lives we're not trying to be as European as possible and as if European languages aren't killing off African languages. E Yo!

As I have said repeatedly, there is no evidence of any Middle Eastern origin of the Igbo people, not in culture, not in language, not in generics. Anybody saying otherwise should try writing children's books.

By the way you made wild and BLIND statements without an iota of evidence to back what you wrote up, I can immediately tell you are from one of the southern Igbo territories. It will sem as though the more southern the person is, the more removed they are from Igbo core beliefs. The ultimate being the Ikwerres some of which BLINDly claim they are no longer Igbos in spite of ample evidence to the contrary.

Well get it into your consciousness from today onwards that Umu-Nri gave you those famous days. They also own and control the originating shrines for those days, and perform the resultant IGU ARO. No shaking!!!!

Why not visit his website http://www.hebrewigbo.com/linguistic.html and see other things he has to say.
That the throne was reconstructed in modern times does not invalidate his claim.

That's even bigger nonsense, he just compared words with similar sounds without any etymological dissection, you can do that with any language, especially when Igbo is related to so many languages in west and west central Africa.

What about the Nigerian coin? Oh, let me finish your thought please: the British knew about the sacred "Jewish Igbo, sorry, Heegbo (Hebrew)" people and were leaving clandestine messages and hidden illuminati symbolism to taunt them about their great western ancestry and civilisation for a cabalistic and occultic and masonic ritual where they harness the Jewish powers from the oblivious and largely ignorant black Igbos.

"The use of the hexagram in a Jewish context as a possibly meaningful symbol may occur as early as the 11th century, in the decoration of the carpet page of the famous Tanakh manuscript, the Leningrad Codex dated 1008. Similarly, the symbol illuminates a medieval Tanakh manuscript dated 1307 belonging to Rabbi Yosef bar Yehuda ben Marvas from Toledo, Spain. A Siddur dated 1512 from Prague displays a large hexagram on the cover with the phrase, "He will merit to bestow a bountiful gift on anyone who grasps the Shield of David.""

The current king of Nri Kingdom as a direct decedent of Eri,son of Gad should subject himself for DNA text to confirm his Hebrew/Jewish origin .Until then I consider Nri Jewish origin and other claims as fraud.
