"..both the Efik and Ibo tonuges abound in Hebraisms, while the construction of sentences, the verbal significations, the mode of comparison, are also typical of the Hebrew; and in the same way nouns, adverbs, and adjectives are formed from the single roots of verbs and other elementary parts of speech..."

Ofodirinwa:
"...it has been suggested by missionaries and travellers that the languages spoken by the Ibibio, Efik, Andoni and others have all been derived from Ibo at some ancient period; also that there is a distinct dialectical affinity between the Ijo dialects of Oru, Brass, Ibani and New Calabar and the Isuama dialect of Ibo. Indeed, Dr Baikie of his Narrative of the Voyage on the Niger, expresses the opinion that "all the coast dialects from 'Oru' to 'Old Calabar' are either directly or indirectly connected with Igbo'" (i.e. Ibo), which latter, he states, Dr. Latham informed him is certainly related to the "Kafir" class, and he has but little doubt, when critically examined, that "Mitshi" and "Juku" will prove to be members of the same extensive family."

What these evil people did to Igbos and their brothers, I'm telling you, these people will never go unpunished. Nothing good will ever come out from them especially Afonjas...I know they will enter this thread shortly. As Nnamdi kanu and historical books all state: Igbo is the entity from which all the Biafran tribes originated from. If you listen to all the Biafran tribes' languages, some words are Igbo words. Listen to Radio Biafra and listen to Ibibio speak, you will know what I'm talking about. Is it Ogoni? Ijaw? Efik? Just listen to Radio Biafra and hear for yourselves!

So it means that you have come in contact with Igbo speakers one way or the other.
Now, extend your argument to the Hebraic structure/words of Igbo language.
Remember to put aside hate and bad-belle as you do so
