ladies and gents, as you can see, Igbos migrated to Africa from Japan- - - 

This is still in conformance with the the theory that Igbos have some links with the Jews, especially when you factor in the fact that the Israelites sojourned in Egypt for hundreds of years. It is very possible that a group emerged which were influenced by both cultures.

I can't believe people here are so naive to believe this myth because of what they read on the internet or some hoax that was passed down from there parents. There is absolutely no evidence at all besides for some conspiracy theorists running around spreading rumors in a poor region where everybody is willing to hold on to something. This myth that igbos are jews is just what Ojukwu propagated during the civil war to create a siege mentality among the igbos (us against them mentality) to rally them for war and to justify secession (treason) as being noble and just. Igbos are Nigerians like everyone else, let me be the first to say it I AM NIGERIAN AND WELL PROUD OF IT. When i was in primary school in naija, they said that hausas originated from somewhere, they also said that yorubas migrated from saudi arabia, which was just a folklore so my good friends don't go around looking like fools abeg, y'all nigerians like everybody else.

  awww gosh!!!

u gotta be kiddin me!!

Igbos are the descendants of Tuface Idibia's innumerable offsprings!   

weep not child. very soon they'll make new revealations that igbos originated from uzbekistan

How ironic- - - Igbo people no dey do arakuba. The only few into that thing na pure wayo wayo and absolute wuru wuru. Only about 0.001% of them do arakuba out of personal conviction. 

This funny, not because it is hilarious, rather it is the most redundant, irrelevant line in the history of mankind. It's like saying ''A= kangaroo and B= Xylophone.'' 

That is the issue with nigeria; people are either afraid or ashamed of their origins. rather than look into the past in search of the realities of their past, they hide under the pretext/pretence of "we are okay where we are", if we never understand the past, the future of our cultures is at risk, never wondered why the Igbo language is the fastest fading of the three major languages of nigeria Every other word in a sentence has english in it. i am a linguist so i understand the intricacies which you may not!

how are we ashamed of where we "supposedely came from" if there's no valid proof. Not knowing where we came from has nothing to doing with the language dying. They language is fading because parents are not teaching their children the language or they're just too lazy to do so. Also everyone wants to speak English. Other people in french speaking countries prefer speaking french rather than their native language but are you going to accuse them of not knowing where they came from just because they choose to speak french.

@ Ogidi

who are the alakuba people?

Igbos are a proud and industrious people with peculiar characteristics, naturally this creates both friends and enemies, hence the large number of threads. Languages are dying because of English all over the world, it is not a peculiarly Nigerian problem. We need to find ways to encourage our language and make the younger people regard it as being cool.

It's called alakuba in Imo and abia too but it refers to moslems not Hausas.
Hausas are called ndi awusa

it's not a matter of whether the language is cool or not. there are enough young igbo people that would love to speak igbo but they are getting no help from family and friends. and when they do try to speak, they get made fun of because they can't pronounce the words right.
