Obi1kenobi, I have disagreed with you on so many issues but on this unsubstantiated jewish claim, you are absolutely right. There is NO evidence that igbos are Jews or related to Israel.

They even did a DNA test last year and proved it wrong. It’s just a myth.

My stance is that if it could help us gain sympathy and support in times of war from Israel, then the myth is worth it. The road to freedom is very messy.

I have said mine. Argue with your igbo ancestors.

I think you lack some brain cells. In the mental asylum where you reside, didn't they tell you to stop ascribing thoughts to others.
There is absolutely no logics to your speech.
You seem to have quoted imaginary people while asking me to take responsability for what your imaginary friends have said.
Your claims are ridiculous, as I have already said, history did not start with the first nigerian coup, but it seems that is all you guys want to talk about. I think we can all face the reality that you guys know nothing about history, all you know about is the civil war and you know it very badly. You seem to have been fed with some heavey brain-dammaging civil war propaganda.




And who told you history started in Benin Kingdom?

Thought as much, the same Edos that masterminded some of the worst ethnic huntings of Igbos in the Midwestern region in the wake of the Federal advance through Igbo towns during the Civil War... I would never forget the heart wrenching stories my popsie told me about their wicked roles in joining federal troops to kill, maim, and destroy lots of Igbo lives and properties... And this idiot has the temerity to even invade this thread to start his "Anioma are Edo" madness... the bleeping disrespect.


I know this story. They poisoned many Biafran soldiers using Esan and Benin towns as camp when they were trying to invade ore. They were the ones who gave out locations to the federal troops. Never did the Biafran soldiers tried killing them until we started seeing our soldiers dying. That was when we raided the village for the culprits but unfortunately, the Nigerian soldiers had already taken an attacking position. We had to retreat after the first fail at ore.

Your civil war propaganda runs deep.
As I said, all you want to talk about is the civil war.
And you keep forgetting that it is your soldiers who invaded the midwest, not the other way around !
It seems you want to blame the invaded for defending themselves.
Craze.

Aniomas are Edos.
Late Ogbemudia and Murtala Muhamed were Edo.
Chief Agho Obaseki was Edo like all Anioma are.
You guys keep claiming things to be merely "Edo-influence" as a way to try and deny Edo-identity.
Edo speak several diffrent languages, including languages very close to igbo or even yoruba.


Biafran soldiers never invaded Midwest. Your state was just at the middle of two warring parties and we had to pass through to attack from that end. Why didn't record a high amount of bloodshed. Because if we invaded you, then we wouldn't have been in ore in less than three days of leaving Onitsha. The Biafran soldiers were told never to attack anyone in the Midwest. So they didn't. The only time that we taught you all a lesson was when started poisoning water your people brought for us to drink. You started snitching to the Nigerian troops about our position. Then we had to make you all shut it.

I've seen a lot of rguments about whether groups like the Ikwerre are Igbo or not and if anyone knows my stand here, they would know that even though i don't buy the whole Ikwerre/Benin BS, i now see Ikwerre as a different group from the Igbo and it's not for any of the reasons that some Ikwerre people give such as different dialect or the fact that they learned Igbo through trade. it is solely because i believe that people are who they say they are. I have interacted with a lot of Ikwerre people and the consensus thati have gathered is that they do not want to be called anything but Ikwerre, definitely not Igbo and they're verbally violent about it too.

The only thing i have noticed about Ikwerres is a soft affinity for Igbos even though they like to hide it. While in NYSC, we were playing a football match among corpers and a fight broke out between two players, an Igbo and Yoruba guy and it seemed like the other Yoruba guys seemed to be supporting their fellow Yoruba guys and a few Ikwerre guys (we had a handful of them in the LGA) took the matter on their head along with some Igbo guys and started fighting the Yoruba guys. At that moment i realize that Ikwerre people think they are Brothers to Igbo people. But not enough to call themselves Igbo. We can be brothers but not of the same ethnic group even thouhg we are related.

To further explain what i mean, i was in Calabar a few days ago for a wedding and the MC of event was greeted people of different tribes. he greeted the Efiks, Ibibios, Annangs, Oron and different people even though these people are of the same stock. These groups know they are related but don't see themselves as the same tribe. It is insulting for Ibibios to refer to Annangs as Ibibio and vice versa just like Ikwerres think it's insulting to refer to them as Igbos. Mind you, these Igboid groups really don't mind a union with Igbos but as long as they are not lumped in to the Igbo umbrella. Infact i confirmed this when an Ukwuani guy on this forum once said that all the "Bia" speaking groups should come together and form something like a union. This made me think that they were more against the Igbo tag which they feel does not apply to them than having anything to do with Igbos.

So, i think some of us need to start vieving this Igbo denial in a different way and similar to how tribes are viewed in the Niger Delta area where almost every village is a tribe. Have you asked yourself why all the Igboid groups in Rivers state are not grouped under a single umbrella? Why do we have Ikwerre, Etche, Ndoni and co as seperate ethnic groups. If they can't do that, how do you expect them to now come under the Igbo umbrella. Let's think about this with a clear head.

Yes Igbo's are of Hebrew heritage, the last time I checked white/present day Jewish people are incapable of giving birth to a person of color popularly known as black people, rather it is the black people that can give birth to white person (Albino or Blonde) and there are some school of thought that believes in ancient Hebrews/Semitics of being a people of color like black people in Africa, Asia, America, Black citizens of modern Europe, Australia, it is quite possible that the whole Jewish/Israeli thing is the other way round, which is Igbo's originating from ancient Black Hebrews that modern day Jew's originated from.

But today, we are told Anioma is Edo, and all I can say is "bah yawa", it is left for the Anioma people to decide, I for one are more than fully contented with Republic of Igboland consisting only of SE.

They know that we are related and Biafra would settle this ..the Ukwuani will have Ukwuani district, the Owerri will have theirs.

Obi1kenobi:


1) Israel's foreign policy posturing is exclusively devoted to the security of their homeland. They are a small nation surrounded by historical Arab and Persian enemies. That threat is all they care about. They don't give a shiit about some black-ass deluded niggas from West Africa claiming to be Jewish. The Ethiopian Jewish population in Israel are victims of large scale resentment and racism.
2) Igbos that make the claim don't do it for its strategic value. They do it because they believe it to be true. They believe it to be true because they've been indoctrinated with the fraud that Igbos are Jews. Hence, you see Igbos adopting Jewish symbols like the Star of David and carrying Israel mini flags around. And Ezes disgracing their ancestors and heritage by claiming their seats to be of Jewish ancestry. No Pan-Igbo Igbocentrist should ever accept that.
3) It embarrasses Igbos before the world. It doesn't matter how long we make the claim and by how many people. Nobody really believes Igbos are Jews. It portrays us as people who take no pride in our heritage and have to adopt an alien one to cure our inferiority complex. The Jewish history and heritage will never be ours to claim. Israel will never be ours to claim. All those thousand-and-one Jewish Nobel laureates and great inventors, authors, filmmakers, industrialists, billionaire tycoons etc will never be ours to claim.

@point 1, I think that clause includes "...and Jews in all parts of the world... " wink

@point 2, you might not be correct on that though.

@point 3, while I won't rush to the conclusion of alluding it to inferiority complex, let me hold my tongue thumb on that argument for now while we see how things pan out.

The question now is, what is the richness of available historical data to prove or dispel the fact that there might be a link between the Igbos and the Hebrews?

The first man who linked the supposed Igbo-Jewish connection, was an Olaudah Equiano a freed Igbo slave who lived in Britain in the 18th


. In his popular autobiography Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, or Gustavus Vassa the African, first published in London in 1789, one finds Equiano, an Igbo, remarking on “the strong analogy” that “appears to prevail in the manners and customs of my countryman, and those of the Jews.” Equiano points to circumcision, sacrifices, and purifications as examples of this resemblance, and concludes that the Igbo and Jews are of the same stock. “

To further explain what i mean, i was in Calabar a few days ago for a wedding and the MC of event was greeted people of different tribes. he greeted the Efiks, Ibibios, Annangs, Oron and different people even though these people are of the same stock. These groups know they are related but don't see themselves as the same tribe. It is insulting for Ibibios to refer to Annangs as Ibibio and vice versa just like Ikwerres think it's insulting to refer to them as Igbos. Mind you, these Igboid groups really don't mind a union with Igbos but as long as they are not lumped in to the Igbo umbrella. Infact i confirmed this when an Ukwuani guy on this forum once said that all the "Bia" speaking groups should come together and form something like a union. This made me think that they were more against the Igbo tag which they feel does not apply to them than having anything to do with Igbos.

So, i think some of us need to start vieving this Igbo denial in a different way and similar to how tribes are viewed in the Niger Delta area where almost every village is a tribe. Have you asked yourself why all the Igboid groups in Rivers state are not grouped under a single umbrella? Why do we have Ikwerre, Etche, Ndoni and co as seperate ethnic groups. If they can't do that, how do you expect them to now come under the Igbo umbrella. Let's think about this with a clear head.

Then you'd best educate your dad on his ignorance. It is people like him that have led youths astray feeding them poison. Tourists will come to a place like Kenya and go home with Maasai regalia and trinkets, or go to South Africa and buy those beautiful Ndebele attire and adornments. Meanwhile Igbo people, including efulefu royal fathers go around looking like clowns like these people:

pazienza

I've seen you peeping in on the thread a number of times and saying nothing about this issue. Perhaps, you could be the voice of reason here that could help redeem those that have gone astray. How do you feel watching Igbos and their obsession with Jews and Israel and claiming to be Jews?
