Zedric: Though the man appeared to show off his knowledge of the bible, there are things that just didn't fit;
1) Is he saying that Jihad started in Egypt?
2) is he saying that the isrealites stayed peacefully in Egypt b4 they finally realised they were slaves?
I think he knows the origin but not the turn of events that led to that. Igbos are from Egypt, Yorubas from Mecca, waiting for the Hausas to come and prove their origin if they can

Afrocatalyst: Am an igbo man,but I think all these historical research of trying to decipher our origin should stop pls. Afterall which tribe truly knws their origin?

We're here already,let's make the most of it so we can pass down good history to the future generation.

UjSizzle: Seriously man, who cares about all these things? Whether it's Egypt, Israel, or bloody Iraq, we're Igbos not any of those people!

I'm yet to understand the need to identify with some ancient race. Is there a prize to be won

ICHINONYE: [b] Jacob wrestled with one of the angels and the angel told Jacob that from now, you are Israel. So, Israel – the children of Jacob – were subjected to slavery and they prayed to God. God answered their prayer and then, there was an exodus.

They left Egypt and these children of Eri, Gad were part of the exodus. They arrived at a big sea and when Moses struck the water, the sea divided into two and they were able to pass through. Though, there was a calamity as the Pharaoh of Egypt at the time used his chariot to chase them so as to take them back. You know fully well that God did not allow Moses to enter the Promised Land.

When they came to River Jordan, that was where Moses handed the covenant over to Joshua. Now, the responsibility of guiding the Israelites was then on Joshua. That covenant placed in the River Jordan was very significant because God told Joshua to remove 12 stones from that river and those 12 stones represented the 12 tribes of Israel.

Now we are talking about the 12 tribes, we are talking about the tribe of Eri because Gad was the tribe that begat Eri. After suffering, some of them went back to Egypt and they were so tempted by the difficult position those Islamic Jihadists pulled on them.

The children of Eri refused to be converted to Islam and they ran away from Egypt to Nnubia and to other places. Each area they went, these jihadists kept on conquering the places. Nnubia was another parallel empire to Egypt as they had Nnubian Pharaohs and Egyptian Pharaohs that fought several wars. After the wars, Nnubia became extinct and later turned to the present Sudan nation.

That was the area where Eri and his devotees stayed and after the fall of Nnubia, they had to take off again and started moving down south, looking at a place where those jihadists won’t attack them. They became refugees and the children of Eri later arrived at a placed called Jutkom, southern part of Kaduna but presently in Taraba State.

Again, the jihadists visited them and conquered the place and they kept moving towards the Nile basin. They preferred moving on the river basin where they could always get food and water.

They later arrived at the first confluence of River Niger and Benue and wanted to see whether they could live there, but the jihadists came and conquered the place.

In their movement towards the southern side, they arrived at another confluence. This confluence was the tributary of River Niger and Benue known as ‘Ezu na Omambala’. When Eri and his devotees arrived at this place, dressed in Usman Dan fodio kind of regalia and were so tired, they tried to settle there.

Though this area was every small and there were no commercial activities there, they decided to stay there. But they did not settle at the front water because of their previous experiences of attacks. They moved five miles inside the region of the confluence and settled in the interior.

They were only four in number and they cleared a small space and started life there. They named the place Eriaka, meaning the home of Eri. Eri begat children there and assimilated the people living around despite their civilised exposure.

Already, the first question posed to Eri by the people living there was: “Who are you?” Actually, there was difficulty in language but when the question was thrown, Eri answered them, ‘We are Igbos’.
