Since i was born as an igbo man, i have always know and confirmed that the ancestral land and people of indigbo originated from NRI and not ERI as mentioned in this write up....and whenever you come across that village in Anambra you will experience a quietude and they have a sign post that is written NRI the ancestral land of NDIGBO. So please the writer should make a correct with his facts and come back on to tell us more about us |

ROSSIKE: You are an ignoramus. It is you who has an inferiority complex. Anti learning, anti history, anti intellectual dunce. Despite efforts made to teach you that blacks once populated north Africa and the middle east in huge numbers, and that there were southward migrations en masse following invasions, all that just goes straight over your head, because as an inferior feeling person, you cannot imagine that blacks could have been anywhere else but where they are presently. It is you who feels inferior by limiting the historical possibilities of the African journey to your hamlet. Mr Man, stop screaming like a banshee and stop ranting like a motor park thug, you tactless, illbred idiiot. I initially had a few doubts you were a complete mooroon, but if your crass and tactless bellows on this thread are anything to go by, those doubts are definitely gone. You talk about blacks once populating North Africa or whatever you call it? That must be the blacks of your stock but definitely not of mine, so you might as well shove your pseudo-intellectual, revisionist clap-trap straight down your gaping asss. People like you are a disgrace, and you reek of inferiority and very low self esteem. This becomes even more evident when you can't throw your arguments without throwing insults and howling with rage like a truck driver. Since your low self esteem has eaten you up that badly, why don't you quickly pack your rags, move to Israel, tell them about your 'historical facts' and we'll see if they'll waste any time before castrating you with a pruning knife. Keep tagging Israel to boost your low self esteem. I guess that'll make your useless life seem a little more worthwhile. But curse my name and loathe my existence, AFRICA IS WHERE IT BEGAN! If it offends you, go and die  1 Like |

Igbos are Israelite in nature and there's nothing like lost tribe of Jews. Jews are located world wide. |

AnanseK: I don’t see anything wrong people knowing there root and as far as I know is not a crime neither. Bible said my people parish because of lack of knowledge, our people are parish because they don’t know who there are. Some of us just argue just for the sake of argument, some of them haven’t even bother to research to find out if is true. Some people think is because they wanted to migrate to Israel that is the reason they are claim to be Hebrews or Jews. Here is the fact before the state of Israel was created in 1947, Ibos were already talking they are from Israel e.g “We know since at least 1789 CE that Jews have been interested in the possible Igbo-Israel connection when a former Igbo slave named Olauda Equiano, living in London first proposed the Igbo-Israel relationship in his autobiography. Some Igbos, including a Dr. Ikedife recalls Israelis visiting Igboland and investigating such claims during the Biafran War.” Prophecy states: Jer. 16:14-16 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; But, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers. Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the LORD, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks. “In 1917 the British discovered, about 500 ft below the soil on the palace grounds a solid bronze Star of David indicating the Igbo people may have migrated from the ancient city of David. To commemorate this event, Nigerian kobo coins were minted with a Star of David on it.” Folks there must be some element of the truth here. The Ibos or Igbos/Egbos of Nigeria, including most of the non-Igbo-language-speaking Ibos of the former Ibo nation of Eastern Nigeria, which comprised Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Rivers, parts of Bayelsa and Delta (South East and South South Nigeria), as well as the Egbas (Egbos) of Yorubaland, some Igalas and Idomas are Ebionite Essenes/Mandeans mainly of the lost tribes of Gad and Dan, etc., exiled from Israel during the biblical era of the Babylonian, Medo-Persian, Greek and Roman conquests of Israel. |

King Solomon said in the proverbs that "Love covers All Offenses" (Proverbs:10:12), I believe it can do much more, I believe that genuine Love can "Conquer" All offenses, for the Torah which was given to us via the right hand of HaShem (Deuteronomy:33:2), symbolizing Loving-kindness & mercy, is also symbolized by a Sword, for Mount Horeb, which in Hebrew is actually Mount Koreb הר חרב, is the Hebrew word for Sword חרב. Fire reduces all elements to Ash, leaving no trace of their elemental base and the Sword pierces the Heart, ending life itself. So it is then that the Torah which is symbolized by Fire and a Sword has the ability to totally annihilate the יצר הרע Evil Inclination and thereby restore Man to his original Estate in the Garden of Eden. This is why the Torah records that G-d placed an Ever-turning-Fiery-Sword at the Entrance of Gan Eden to guard the way to the "Tree of Life" (Torah)! עבדיאל בן לןי |

[b]Here is something to meditate on: In the Original language of the Bible (Classical Hebrew), there is no word for "Chance"! In modern Hebrew however, there has developed a word to acqiesce the modern world's "need" for a conceptual "scape-goat" for their problems, consciously choosing Not to accept fault for the fruit of their deeds, this word is מקרה Mik'ra CHANCE! Mik'ra however comes from the Hebrew word קרא ka'ra which means: He called, which entails that All things are Spoken into Existence before it happens by G-d Almighty! Thus even in Hebraic thought, what is conceived as CHANCE by Heathens who Know Not G-d, is conceived of as DIVINE Providence by those who Know G-d, for the essence of Biblical thought is that G-d is the Cause of All Causes and Nothing exists unless He continually Wills it to exist, therefore, what is deemed CHANCE מקרה is actually A Divine Pronouncement קרא of G-d! So Give G-d the Glory due His name, for in His Hand is the Essence of Life and that which issues from it! G-d is in control,our source for all things[/b]

Simple DNA test would resolve all this.truth is Jews are found in many African countries so it's hardly surprising that Nigeria would also have Jews... I believe I read(can't locate the source so don't fry me) somewhere that there is a small northern Nigerian tribe that also has Jewish roots... To our Jewish Igbo brothers I say Shalom may it be well with you... 1 Like |

Ejiné: I'll just put this down to your drug abuse. You talk about blacks once populating North Africa or whatever you call it? That must be the blacks of your stock but definitely not of mine, so you might as well shove your pseudo-intellectual, revisionist clap-trap straight down your gaping asss. What ''stock''? ''Must''? Why ''must'' it be my own 'stock' of blacks? Again, what research have you done to back your assertion? I'll answer for you: Zero. People like you are a disgrace Disgrace? It is disgraceful to come on here, with ZERO RESEARCH and shouting like a tout. That's a disgrace. Shame you're too much of a drunken dunce to see it. and you reek of inferiority and very low self esteem. Do the western researchers who also see African/Jewish connections also suffer low self esteem? You do realise many of us are echoing their research in addition to ours? How do you account for their findings many of which have been posted here? What research have you provided to contest ANY findings posted here? Zero. If you cannot get yourself to drop some research findings here, then you're an illiterate in the subject, and shouldn't be here taking up bandwith. This becomes even more evident when you can't throw your arguments without throwing insults and howling with rage like a truck driver. You deserve every insult for being a loud-mouthed moro.n. I should say you deserve worse. Since your low self esteem has eaten you up that badly, why don't you quickly pack your rags, move to Israel, tell them about your 'historical facts' and we'll see if they'll waste any time before castrating you with a pruning knife. This statement clearly shows it is YOU who suffers low self esteem and inferiority complex. You think the truism of Igbo Jewish connections is dependent on modern white Israelis accepting the idea. It isn't. Oh, and neither is the idea to ''move to Israel'' any more than the white Americans are required to ''move to Europe'' for discovering their ancestors once lived there. But curse my name and loathe my existence, AFRICA IS WHERE IT BEGAN! More historical illiteracy. How does the fact that Africa is where it all began negate anything being discussed here? 3 Likes |

naijaking1:This was why I said initially to someone that Igbos were the fathers of the Jews not the 'children'. Many here seem to think that Igbos need to be ''accepted'' by modern Israelis for the 'claim' to be true. But it's actually the other way round. Igbos need to accept that the Israelis are their children or cousins from thousands of years back. And i don't mean all modern Israelis - just those with actual roots in the place. 1 Like |
