Dont people know that there are Black Jews?, Why do people associate Jewish with being caucasion, that is a gross misunderstanding.

I don't think it means that all Igbos have Jewish ancestry, they are no means the only Africans to claim Jewish links, the Lemba tribe also mad such claims which because of how they look, were continually ignored as false, until they had DNA testing which revealed that some of their number (the Buba clan) had migrated from Sena in the Middle East and indeed have Jewish ancestry. I think instead of debating, someone should conduct a DNA study.

At the end of the day, we are Igbo and Nigerian full stop, but should we not also find out about our migratory origins, whatever they may be?

Finally, someone saying sth reasonable. I think one of these Jewish wanna-bes should take a cheek swab to verify his/her semitic origins before blabbing trash on NL

Titosantin, Titosantin MUST be banned from Nairaland for violating the rule, "hateful comment against any race or people, His comment: "Igbos are rebels and treason minded tribe" is a hateful comment that must be dealt with.
Re: Are Igbos The Lost Descendents Of The Jews? by redsun(m): 9:38pm On Nov 25, 2007
To some extent it is true,because the ibos are very shrewd and industrious just like the jews.But for blind goverments in nigeria,igbo land will be the japan of africa.Sometimes i begin to appreciate the vision of Emeka Ojukwu,he was ahead of his time.
Re: Are Igbos The Lost Descendents Of The Jews? by FufuKing1(m): 8:21am On Nov 26, 2007

Shawn123,
I have seen your one of those sect, that believes any body except from your group are infidels. I don't know much of Histoy but please untie your suicide-belt i don't want to die now, I'm neither a Jew nor JewishIBO,. Am only alerting them to be watchful and of the danger they will be facing, because Islam don't like anything Jewish, before the worshippers of the Moon start sending Suicide killers to them.

A jew is a symbol struggle against international and local persecution, bad leadership,racism,injustice,slavery,jealousy and unwarranted prejudices,but for palistine, blackman can identify with that.In the case of christ,people love christ him today because they believe his is jewish,he came with a message of consolation and spiritual power for the oppressed jews at the time of roman occupation of their land, a change from the old to new.It is not just the physical jew,but mental and spiritual jew,transformation in the face of persecution.I love the jews for their tenacity and intelligence,that is what people like hitler hates and dreads.

In Olaudah Equiano's autobiography he described life in 16th century Igbo village and many of the cultural aspects and the way things were done closely resembled the Jewish way of life.

Here is a brief extract from his book:

"We practiced circumcision like the Jews, and made offerings and feasts on that occasion in the same manner as they did. Like them also, our children were named from some event, some circumstance, or fancied foreboding at the time of their birth, we had many purifications a nd washings; indeed almost as many, and used on the same occasions, if my recollection does not fail me, as the Jews"


I also heard that during the Nigerian civil war, the Jew's in Israel sent aid and arms to the Igbos.

IF YOU BELIEVE IN CREATION AND NOT EVOLUTION, YOU WOULD DEFINITELY AGREE WITH ME THAT WE ALL CAME FROM THE MIDDLE EAST WHICH IS THE BIRTH PLACE OF HUMANKIND, PROCEEDING FROM THE GARDEN OF EDEN WHICH WAS WATERED BY THE THE RIVER TIGRIS AND EUPHRATES MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE, IS IN TODAY`S IRAK IN THE MIDDLE EAST, NOT TO MENTION WHERE NOAH AND HIS FAMILY `S ARK SURFACED- ON MOUNT ARARAT, STILL IN THE MIDDLE EAST. HOW ABOUT THE GREAT ANCIENT CITY, BABYLON WHERE LANGUAGES WERE BORN AND THE GREAT EXODUS ALL BEGAN? THINK ABOUT IT!


MY CONCLUSION ON THIS REGARD GOES WITHOUT SAYING THAT, WE ALL CAME FROM THE MIDDLE EAST TO AFRICA AND NOT VICE VERSA. BE YOU IGBO,YORUBA, IBIBIO, HAUSA, FULANI OHHH! WE`RE ALL GOD`S CREATION FROM SOMEWHERE UP THERE ( ISREAL, LIBANON, IRAN, TURKEY, IRAK, ETC. ) ACROSS THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA. APART FROM THE BIBLE, EVEN LEGEND AND ORAL TRADITION DOES ATTEST TO THIS VERY FACT.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO BELIEVE IN MANKIND ORIGINATING FROM AFRICA, CHEW YOUR CUD A LITTLE BIT BEFORE YOU GET BRAINWASHED BY SOME LOCO SCIENTIST.
