The Gad & Eri Lie And The Igbo by chyz(m): 10:33pm On Nov 13, 2017 |
There is this false narrative being peddled around with the claim that the Igbo nation are the descendants of a man named Eri. Each day, this narrative grows new arms and legs. A man who was traditionally known as an Igala warrior who set up a camp at Aguleri, in today's Anambra State, suddenly became Eri, the son of Gad of the Bible, and the progenitor of the Igbo race. This fictitious biblical claim was hatched by members of the Eri lineage in Aguleri. It appears to have been a scheme to achieve the following: http://www.dedechibublog.com/2017/11/the-gad-eri-lie-and-igbo.html?m=1 5 Likes 1 Share |

zenmaster: Igbophobia? You people have used that word so much has lost all meaning. So if someone doesn't believe Oduduwa came from Arabia, like some people claim, he is now Yoruba-phobic. Many proud Igbos believe the Hebrew claims are nonsense, and they are still proud Igbos. 8 Likes |

zenmaster: It was an analogy - you know what that means? This is not a good argument. It is a good argument, in context of your using 'Igbophobia' on Igbos who disagree with the Hebrew story. And stop sharing screenshots from books written when the diffusionist and the Hamitic hypotheses were the only way people could explain the rise of culture in Africa. African history as a robust field of scholarship has advanced beyond that nonsense. 4 Likes 1 Share |

zenmaster: "Bad belle"? LMAO! Over what, bikonu? Whatever functions the Ezeora of Aguleri or anybody else for that matter attends has no bearing on facts. This function was even organised by wannabe Jews of European descent. So it's the ideal place for him to be - among other wannabes. Again, please explain what there is to have "bad belle" about in this matter. 3 Likes |

zenmaster: To normal people, correcting fallacies (which is what I have been doing here and on the other thread) is not "bad belle" and "paining". Maybe you're the one pained by my refutation of pseudohistorical junk. I have a stake in the way Igbo history is told or mistold, because I am Igbo. 7 Likes 1 Share |

zenmaster: NEW fallacies?? LMAO! Your great grand father never knew nothing about no Jewish connection. The pure unadulterated oral tradition of the Igbo people didn't say zit about Israel. It is something Western-educated people sneaked into our story. Tell me again between the two of us who is peddling NEW fallacies? 4 Likes |

zenmaster: Mass of research work from who? The Igbo nation has produced an impressive train of world-acknowledged historians: Dr Kenneth Dike Professor Anene Adele Afigbo Don Ohadike John Oriji. Etc. None of them support this Israel trite. Afigbo, the doyen of Igbo historical studies, explicitly calls it nonsense. Only quacks (many of them not even proper historians) who self-publish because their work is too crappy to be accepted by reputable journals support this Israel myth. So much for "mass of research work". 3 Likes 1 Share |

zenmaster: I have told you this before. Daniel Lis studied a claim. Daniel Lis did not in the book prove or even set out to prove the correctness of that claim. You never even read the book or you would have known this. And Daniel Lis is one historian. I gave you a list of distinguished Igbo historians. You gave me the name of one little-known white man. If it was the other way around now, and I was the one bringing up the name of a white scholar, it is still people like you that will accuse me of believing a white man can tell our history better than our own scholars. 2 Likes |
