Igbos Share Ancestry With Jews - New Report Says by onumadu: 11:47pm On Sep 18, 2021
From Fred Itua, Abuja

A new report has claimed that Igbo people in South East and some Nigerian tribes, share a common ancestry that is traceable to the lost tribes of Israel.

These discoveries are contained in a 738-page book titled “The Hebrew Evidence of Nigerian Jews: A Scriptural Insight” which is set for a public presentation.

The book is authored by a televangelist, Innocent Agu. The book describes Igbo language as one of the prehistoric languages, as it is the same as the Paleo-Hebrew, the original Hebrew language of the Bible.

Addressing newsmen in Abuja at the weekend, ahead of the launch of the book, Agu said it unravels the age-long mystery surrounding Igbo people and some other Nigerian tribes.

He said the research findings point to the fact that several indigenous Nigerian ethnic groups share a common ancestry that is traceable to the lost tribes of Israel and Edom/Iduma – the country of Esau called Edo and Idoma in Nigeria.

According to him, “The twelve lost tribes of Israel have been discovered in Nigeria. The tribes include those from Northern Israel that were captured by the King of Assyria in 722 BC and the dispersal tribes of Southern Kingdom after the invasion and conquest by the Roman soldiers in 70 AD led by Vaspasian in the Jewish-Roman war.

“The book unravels the age-long mystery surrounding Igbo people and some other Nigerian tribes.

“The research also revealed that the Paleo-Hebrew in which the Old Testament Bible was originally written is the same as Igbo language, both in words and dictionary meanings.”

Speaking further, he said over one thousand different Hebrew words, phrases, and sentences are recorded in the book to attest to this fact.

“The work recorded about a thousand ancient Nigerian towns from across Nigeria that corresponds to the same ancient Israeli/Idumean towns recorded in the Bible. Interestingly, while most of the listed towns are located in the Southern and Middle Belt of Nigeria, a considerable number is also found in northern Nigeria,” he added.

The author further identified many ethnic groups in Africa that are connected to the nation of Israel. He posited that the original people of the nation of Israel were black.

While tracing the origin of Igbo people of South East Nigeria, the author used linguistic and anthropological evidence.

He asserted that the name Igbo is derived from Eber the great-grandson of Shem and whose entire race is called Ebeo, Ebo, Ibo, or Igbo.


According to the chairman of the book launch committee, Dr. Sam Agbogun, the book is endorsed by several scholars and traditional rulers.

He said the findings in the book will surely open a new vista in the historical traditions of most Nigerian ethnic groups.

He said the book specifically solves the puzzle that has heralded the Igbo’s origin, tradition, and cultural practices.

Igbo proverb says that if a child is crying and pointing to a particular direction, if his father is not there, his mother must be there.

The more I read about real researched work on Igbo and Israel, the more I think that there is something there.

Ibo peoples of nigeria don't share anything with Jews and it's been genetically debunked. Jews are two faced greedy humans who would do anything for money and power even if it means betrayal, just like the Yoruba's of nigeria, very good at manipulation just like zog but thank God the brits empowered fulani.

A few of us Igbo don't like making this connection, but some of us are distancing from it because of how some non-Igbo HATE and almost commit suicide at the mere mention of any topic that links the Igbo to ancient Israel (not "Jew", just ISRAEL).

You see people foaming in the mouth and almost asphyxiating from hate. grin

Seekers of truth cannot be cowed though. We seek the truth regardless of inferiority complexes exhibited by clearly unconcerned parties.

I read a book written by a Jewish rabbi in which he explained in great detail the biblical principles that guide Jewish success.
To mention few of those principles: (1) Networking, ie, understanding exchange; (2) expatriation (moving to new lands to find opportunities and dominating those opportunities). etc There are others, but let me stop there for now.

I found out that these are the foundations of Igbo success as well as Jewish success.

Igbo man naturally goes to new lands fearlessly and exploits opportunities there. Same as Jews.

Igbo man uses networking inherent in Igbo culture to grow business and dominate sectors of the economy to the envy of others.

Igbo man takes business and financial risks by trusting others to do their part.
Imagine something like the Nigerian aviation sector that has been entrepreneurs' graveyard for years, and yet Allen Onyema is taking the risk to take the airline industry to unprecedented levels in Nigeria. He dared where angels dreaded to thread.

The Jewish rabbi stated that all these principles are in the Torah (the first five books of the old testament).
But in Igbo culture, they are INHERENT.

All these add up to force people like my skeptical self to pause and take a second look.
The haters are not qualified to deviate us, to change the narrative here. lol
We won't let them. hehe cheesy

We were the first to settle on the lands across the Niger and the lower riverine areas and so we are the rightful owners.
Since you've join our zoo enemies in fighting Igbos, we will not just deport you Sierra leonean migrants back but make sure you don't leave any bottle of Ogogoro behind inorder not turn our lands to a people of drunks.

As language hardly ever dies/disappears I am looking to see the thousand Hebrew/Igbo phrases documented in the book.

As for the tribes in the North which are (likely) Hebrew descended I know one. They despise Islam too, travel far to do business, and are friendly with Igbos. Culturally, they believe themselves to have journeyed from Israel too. It's not Idoma though.
