The yoruba people form one of the group in the whole world that can hardly pronounce words that start with "SH" correctly. This is what we call mother tongue.
There is also a tribe in Israel that has this shot fall; the Ephraimite.
In Judges 12:5-6, The word "Shibolet" was used to separate the Gileadite from the Ephraimite.
Judges 12:5-6
The Gileadites held the fords of the Jordan against the Ephraimites. And when any fugitive from Ephraim said, "Let me cross," the men of Gilead would ask him, "Are you an Ephraimite?"; if he said, "No," they would say to him, "Then say shibolet"; but he would say "sibolet," not being able to pronounce it correctly. Thereupon they would seize him and slay him by the fords of the Jordan. Forty-two thousand Ephraimites fell at that time.

Even Tola was a judge in Israel.
Judges 10:1
After Abimelech died, Tola son of Puah, son of Dodo, was the next person to rescue Israel. He was from the tribe of Issachar but lived in the town of Shamir in the hill country of Ephraim.

The Yoruba came out of Egypt and Sudan. We are not sure if some of those who fled Egypt were Israelite slaves.

One thing is for sure, aside from those who are indigenous to modern-day Nigeria, Yorubaland has benefited from a successive wave of migrants drawn from more than one place of origin.

Contrary to other African people – such as also the neighboring Igbo in southwestern Nigeria – the Yoruba never claimed an Israelite identity (Basden 1921: 411 – 423; Hodgkin 1975: 218 f.).

Although several authors pointed out the existence of Israelite customs among the Yoruba, they saw them as side effects of Israelite influences and not as the result of a direct cultural transfer through migration from the northern kingdom of Israel (Johnson 1921: 6 f., 154;Biobaku 1955: 12 f.). More recently, reexamination of the Oyo dynastic tradition in combination with a comparison of cultural traits led to the conclusion that direct links must have existed between the northern Israelites and the Yoruba.

However, owing to the incomplete study of Oyo tradition, this conclusion did not indicate the precise nature of the historical connection between ancient Israel and the Oyo-Yoruba. Avoiding the unmentionable notion of mass migration from the ancient Near East, it suggested instead that the remnants of Israelite traditions and culture traits were the result of sporadic influences from Syria-Palestine via Egypt, or of long-lasting trade relations between Phoenician North Africa and sub-Saharan West Africa (Lange 1999: 138 – 140; 2004: 239 – 242)

@OP - what is to say that the tribe in Israel does not owe its origins to Yorubas expatriates?

Armageddon has begun, It is in two parts. First part is mental (which is on-going), after that is the Physical and last war.
Some has just mental flugged you, taking your righteousness and replacing your history with that of evil and devils stories.
Tiamat was just an ancient name for the earth.
Oranya, is not Jacob or Yakub.

I knew that excerpt would be discomforting for those whose only grasp of history is in terms of exactitude.
Words like "sporadic" clearly do not exist in your vocabulary, or why else would you assume that I have been "mental flugged" (whatever the hell that is).

It takes a certain profundity of mind to understand that my post actually offers a number of plausible suggestions.
(1) Successive wave of migrants from different points of origin into Yorubaland
(2) Pre-existing ancestral groups in the area now referred to as Yorubaland
(3) Yoruba migration (from source) into Israel itself.

Most Nigerians are lazy when it comes to reading and doing research. Tell a typical Nigerian a factual information he had not heard before, his first spontaneous reaction is " na lie, it cannot be true". This lazy and unprogressive attitude is working against us in many ways and it is not healthy for intellectual development. We, especially the youths must change from the ways of our forefathers who were unable to research and document many things that would have become useful to us today. I never meant to insult anyone.

I never knew there was such document in existence. I was just relating what I read with the evidence I have seen.

Ogbomosho people have more of this difficulty. They must be the group that came from Israel. Your post confirmed it.

Yoruba is a church where their is neither jew nor gentile but one body in Christ and everyone members one of another.

I thought from another version of the history of Yoruba, due to a civil war then, Oduduwa trekked from Mecca to Ileife, now this is a new one.

Yorubas cannot pronounce "sh". Yet, it is a letter in their alphabets?!!
The OP is an idiot.

Shebi Yorubas want to drag the Jews of Nigeria title with Igbos?

shiningshina:

"Sh" as in Shursh for Church, shampion for Champion, shildren for children, shop for chop etc. Sorry. Its not "ch" I am talking about. I am talking about sop for shop, mision for mission, soot for shoot, sout for shout etc.

You people have started again o...

PS
Am Yoruba and I can pronounce "sh"

I didn't mean mental flugged in terms to abuse or disrespect you, But so to kind of awaken you.
And That awaken begins with the knowledge of who You are as a unique person, The knowledge of who God is, and the knowledge of who the devil is. These are the basic things that you need to know.

We are at war, We as Black People have always been at war and all the while not knowing, and if few of us percieve the sight or saint of this war, we are easily manipulated to fight in the wrong direction (example, My village people are wicked, they may be, but not intentionally and etc).

Few points-
1) God is a Man, He has always been, and He will always be. God can be a Woman too.
2)Devil is a mankind, an image of Man(God), He was made 6 days ago, 1 day=1000years. The first of them is called Adam.
3) You as a Blackman or Black person is a child of Man (not mankind), You are a direct descendant of God, You have the same DNA, only it has weaken for now and for a reason.
Mankind don't have same DNA as Man, or God/Allah because mankind only are composed of only the recessive traits/the brown/light germ.

About We being the tribes of Isreal, isn't all that wrong, Only We are far better and bigger than that. Question is where did these fake jews get their 12 figure from? is it by the children of A person? To them yes, But to Us the Black people, it is mathematically incorrect and imbalanced.
They got it from the Black people.
It is very true that a part of usor most and/or all of us migrated from North east africa which in falsehood is called by the mankind middle east.
Mecca was like Abuja, while Kemet was like Lagos. The migration began from 50,000 years ago until about 500 years ago.

I'll continue a lil later... if you wish to hear it ofcourse.
