Uptosomething:Eri had 5 children, each of them are the 5 custodians of offor ndi Igbo, all are known as Eze Nri. All the Eze Nris are regarded as Priest-king, they are all regarded as Divine kings. Eze Chukwuemeka is the paramount ruler and custodian of the biggest offor. Hence he is the only one referred to as 'Eze akaji offor Igbo' and 'Eze ora'. He is the Chief Host of the festival to commemorate the coming of Eri to Nri, and he lives in Obi Gad. The most sacred shrine of Ndi Igbo. It is the Obi Ndi Igbo. It reminds us of our descent from Gad, the son of Jacob. Eze Onyesoh is a subject to Eze Chukwuemeka. Hope you are cleared? 3 Likes 1 Share |

RedboneSmith:Are you sure you know what that festival is all about? It is to mark the coming of Eri, the Son of Gad, the Son of Jacob to Igbo land. Star of David is the symbol of Isreal and Isreal is Jacob. So I don't see anything wrong celebrating a son of Isreal with the symbol of Isreal. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Over 7900 views but few comments and majorly from Igbos. If this thread is on anti-Igbo... Definitely some people are not happy we are reaffirming our origin. #HalaNdiIgbo #GodBlessNdiigboWorldWide #GodBlessEzeNri 2 Likes |

SouthEastFacts: 50 million people don't believe this Israel connection. Even if they did, how is that proof that they are right? Obu Gad in the court of Eze Nri? There is no such thing in the court of the Eze Nri. You are mixing up different towns, sir. The so-called Obu Gad is in Aguleri. Eze Nri is in Agukwu and Oraeri. And Obu Gad is a recent corruption of Obu Ugam. Are you from Anambra? Igbo and Igala do not share root words? LOL. Please go and look at the two languages, sir. The similarities are more natural and plentiful than the forced 'similarities' some of you have manufactured for Hebrew and Igbo. 6 Likes 1 Share |

RedboneSmith:I am from Abia and I know who my king is. Eri had 5 sons and each of them are the Custodian of the 5 ofor of Ndi Igbo. They are all referred to as Divine Kings. Each of them is referred to as Eze Eri or the 5 Kings of Eri. Sorry for that mistake, its Eze Eri not Eze Nri. Aguleri is the headquarters of the Eri Kingdoms, hence Eze Eri of Aguleri, the Eze Akaji Ovo Igbo is the paramount ruler. The Obu Gad is in his palace. There is no corruption of that word. You ain't wiser than The 5 Kings. According to history, Onoja is founder of Igala kingdom, but not an Attah. He is believed to be a son of Eri by his second wife. Igala and Igbos culture to me are not similar. They language sounds same but differs sharply in meaning. 2 Likes |

There's a lot of igbo culture being promoted within the igbo-British community. Have a look at the channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuZjPkvP-C8&list=PL1UutY7_uGmt-RkJ5NRGywNhmIMtIIjw9&index=3 |

SouthEastFacts: Not from Anambra. I thought as much. Suffice it to say that there's is a lot of inaccuracies in this comment. For example, no one is referred to as Eze Eri - that designation simply does not exist. The Aguleri monarch's title is Ezeora. You should check where you're getting your information from. 3 Likes 1 Share |

zenmaster: I have been here practically all my life, lived in Oba, Awka, Onitsha, Enugu. My hometown is just across the Niger in Illah. Aguleri and the whole Omambala area is so close to us, we intermarry, we trade together, we share cultural values and kinship.

RedboneSmith:Sorry, you should be the one doing that? If there is anything like Eri Kingdom, then there should be Eze Eri. They are known as The 5 Eri Kings.

(OBUGAD)- The House of Gad.” He erected his house as well as a temple with an altar. He called the temple OBUGAD, in honour of his father Gad; the temple survived and had been preserved as the most Holy place in Enugwu Aguleri and serves as the palace of Ezeora. It is the palace of the most ancient dynasty in Igbo Land and the general/collective temple of the descendants of Eri. Sometime n October 29 1995, a team of Israeli (Jewish) Researchers stormed Enugwu Aguleri after a visit to Agu-Ukwu Nri, on the previous day and Visited His Majesty, Eze Eri, Informing him that they have come in search of the lost tribes of Israel. According to the visiting team, their research work has taken them to various places in the world Including Sudan, Egypt and Jamaica etc. They were received at OBUGAD Palace in Enugwu Aguleri by Eze Eri and the entire Aguleri Communities. The team visited historical and cultural sites Agbanabo Ezu-na-Omabala (the confluence of Ezu and Omabala rivers) Otutunzu ObuGad Ezeora Palace Odanduli Ama Atta Foot steps of Eri at Agbanabo Ogodo Stream Ama Menri Graveyard of Menri Ngene me ezi ezi Atta Grave yard of Eri Ajana Ukwu Ovilivo e.t.c On the understanding and belief that the Igbo have been traced to the LOST TRIBE OF ISRAEL through Aguleri, His Majesty Eze A.E. Chukwuemeka Eri, Eze Eri, Ezeora 34th, Eze Aka Ji Ofor Igbo was appointed leader of the Igbo-Israelites in West-Africa in May 1996, during a conference of king Solomon Igbo Israelites (Bani-Israel) Federation, held in Philadelphia, U.S.A. the conference was aimed at increasing the brotherly relationship and cohesion among the tribes of Israel Worldwide. Again in 1997, another team of Bani- Israelites from King Solomon Igbo- Israelites (Bani-Israel Federation visited Nigeria and came to Aguleri to fine-tune the research findings of 1995. The team’s discovery at Obugad in Enugwu- Aguleri attracted comments from a renowned historian, Prof. O.Alaezi as follows: “There is a very significant concentration of Eri, the fifth son of Gad (See Gen. 46:16) in Aguleri, Anambra state where recently a very important discovery of a clear evidence of Israel ancestral origin of the Igbo was made in the domain of Eze Eri in Enugwu Aguleri at the instance of the Bani- Israel team which was on a fact-finding mission in 1997. There and then one of the memorial onyx stones for the sons of Israel as the lord commanded Moses (see exodus 39:7) was discovered and identified as such by the team leader from King Solomon Israelite (Bani-Israelite) federation. On the stone discovered in Enugwu Aguleri was engraved the name Gad in the Aramaic language reminding one of the writings in Exodus 39:14, there were twelve stones, one for each of the names of the sons of Israel, each engraved like a seal with the name of the twelve tribes.” The video of the visits, research findings, identification of similarities in cultural activities and other converging factors, which establish the relationship between Aguleri and the Bani-Israel, was later sent to Eze Eri by the research team. https://iduueri./2010/06/18/obugad-the-house-of-gad/ 2 Likes 1 Share |
