They Lived Before Adam, Prehistoric Origin Of Igbo By Prof. Catherine Acholonu by Nobody: 8:49am On Nov 19, 2017
Another well researched and powerful evidence that Igbos are biblical Israelites; a fact whites are aware of but are hiding it for Igbos not to know, in order for them not to rise to their full potential. She also indicated that Igbos have never been ruled before by anybody; a fact consistently stated by Nnamdi Kanu, which is why Igbos are quick to revolt and to challenge authority because they are not used to this.

Prof. Catherine Acholonu and her co-authors explained, “The discoveries at Ugwuele show that the ‘out of Africa’ migrations were more or less an ‘out of Igboland’ migration and that Igboland was original home of Homo Erectus and that all of those who migrated out of Africa were Igbo ambassadors.

They stated that in the olden days, the ancestors carved stones as means of communication and also a way to give honour to great men and women who made great achievements in the society, and these stones were named after people, whom they were dedicated to.

Some of these carved stones known as monoliths were discovered in Ikom Local Government Area of Cross River State, Nigeria, about 300 kilometers from Calabar, the state capital and the villagers called them Akwa Nshi, meaning that they were made by Nshi, Stone Age people. ‘Nshi’ in Igbo means dwarf.

Based on archeological discoveries, the researchers also claimed that they have found out that one language was spoken at the beginning of mankind, the same language spoken by Adam and Eve and that the language was indeed none other than Igbo.

“Likewise, the story of Adam and Eve has links with Igbo tradition through remnants of Igbo language found in all words connected to Adam and Eve story. For instance, Hebrew name for Adam as first man was ‘Esh,’ which is also spelt Eesh/Eshi/Ishi. The Bible says that Eve’s name ‘Ish-she or Esh-she’ because she was taken out of the man.

This means that ‘Esh’ and ‘Esh-she’ means in Igbo ‘Taken from the dwarf (as in she-puta-to pull out). She also means in Igbo ‘to become less, ‘to reduce,’ implying that by creation of woman from man, man became weaker or less than he was originally. Adam’s popular name by which he is known throughout the world has a straight meaning-Adaa m ‘I have fallen, I have become less than my original self’ but not so in Ikom language,” they stated.

“Also the name of Adam’s second son, Abel, who was murdered by his elder brother, and who became known as the ‘lamb that was slain’ seems to have been derived from Igbo word, Ebula meaning lamb. (We heard of the blood of Abel being compared with the blood of Jesus ‘the Lamb of God’).

Cain, who killed his brother, was banished and he began to roam the earth and took the name Amakandu (condemned to life of roaming), but as time went on, some of his children got tired of roaming and decided to build settlements for themselves. And accordingly they changed their names to Dunu, meaning ‘settle’ or ‘sit’ in Igbo, revealing that the first generation of humans on earth spoke Igbo. In fact, there is a clan in Anambra State that goes by the name Dunukofia, meaning that to settle is better than to roam.”

It was noted in the book that if “the Bible tells us that God’s first instruction to humankind was written on stone, the Igbos have an oral tradition published under the title “Ndi Ichie Akwa mythology or folklore tradition of Ndigbo by I.N.C. Nwosu, which narrates that God gave a set of 10 laws on stone to his people called Ndiichie Akwa, which were symbolised by 10 fingers etched on stone. This has a similarity to Hebrew story of the laws given to Moses by God.

The story says that after the world was destroyed by the great flood, the children of the great ancestor of Igbo people were instructed by God to return to the center of the earth where he and his lineage will dwell with God in peace and tranquility.

They continued: “We believe that Ikom (and its monoliths) was the destination of the journey of the children of Noah as indicated in the Biblical Genesis and that the people who journeyed to West Africa, were a branch of Ham’s children, possibly Canaan and that the monoliths served as a landmark for the new immigrants.

In the Bible, it is actually reported that Noah instructed his second son, Ham to return to Africa with his children. South Eastern Nigeria (which includes South South) is actually the cartographical (from the map of the world) location of the center of the earth, because all the ancient territory of Biafra was the ‘Median” and ‘Median’ means centre in any map.”

Acholonu and her co-authors noted however that the monoliths were not the only stone writings associated with the Igbo, since in the British Isles, stones have been found bearing Igbo language inscriptions written in form of writing known as Ogam, said to have been written on a stick as well as a stone, giving it the name Ogama, which in Igbo language, might have been Ogu-ama, meaning ‘Stick for External use’ or ‘Writing on sticks for masses’. Ogu is also linked to the Igbo concept of Iji ofo na ogu-a stick that stands for justice and innocence.

They stated that apart from the Igbo based ancient Ogam inscriptions found in British Isles, another proof that Igbo people lived in and colonised the British Isles in pre-historic times is the presence of numerous Igbo words in English language such as doro (draw), Mmanwu (Man); Saa (Say), Ukwe (Choir), Ekpere (prayer), Mfe (fair), Okuko (Cock), Mmiri (Marine), ga (go) among others.

We found evidence that in pre-historic times, Igbo people were known as people of light and Sons of God (Opara/Okwara). They were worshipped by other clans of humans. They were the first kings and god-men known to human beings in general. Appollo, whose name was pronounced as Okpara, was the first example. The Pharaoh of Egypt actually took their title from Okpara Ihe (Son of Light). There are available records from 2000 BC showing that Pharoahs sent expeditions to West Africa to import Eshi (dwarfs), whom they valued as divine beings who bestowed blessings on Egypt.”They Lived Before Adam ((Prehistoric Origins of the Igbo The Never Been Ruled))

I read her book several years ago. I was shocked to see the facts she laid down. It's just a matter of time, the truth will be out. Thy can't hide for so long. How can you explain that Igbo tradition is exactly as the ten commandments of God? How is this possible? How can you explain that over 80% of Igbo towns and villages have biblical connection? How do you explain this?

"Igbos are wandering Jews of West Africa - gifted, aggressive, westernized, and at best, envied and resented, but mostly despised by their neighbors in the Federation---" (a White House Memo on Biafra January 28, 1969 to President Nixon by Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger) (Source : U.S Foreign Relations Documents Volume 5 , 1969)

Some of these words are not of English origin, they are well known as French, and some ultimately from Rome, but I'm sure some will say Igbo people founded Rome as well.

It's not by force to be Israeli.

Not new, Nnamdi kanu has been preaching this for years. The problem with some Igbos is they are very stubborn to work with it. Nnamdi Kanu has great patience. Had it been me, I would have left a long time ago. I don't have time to waste for stubborn iddiots!
