There are many myths about the origin of the Igbo people of Nigeria. The most popular is the Story of Eri: which is analogous to the biblical account of Adam. The second is the popular belief that the Igbos originated from the tribe of Gad (the son of Jacob). Most Igbo strongly believe the latter version, but the question is, ‘Are Igbo People of Nigeria Really From Israel?’

Igbo people of Nigeria
In the favour of Igbos being the jews, most propagators of the idea compare the similarities in both cultures. Some of them unearthed similar words and customs shared by both tribes but it did not end there. Of recent, as reported by CNN, the Shabbat Service is becoming popular among the Igbo People of Nigeria. This obsession led to the collection of Saliva Sample from Igboland by a Jewish community. A DNA test was conducted and Rabbi Bernis who read the report from a laboratory based in Houston, Texas, the United States of America (USA) said that:

“the result of the samples taken from Nigeria randomly on some people in Igboland bear no semblance with the ones in the database of the laboratory.”
Yet, most Igbos still stick to their belief that they originated from Israel.

GavelSlam:
They are not.

They are from Alaigbo, a region east of the Niger River.

Many of them are proud of their culture and heritage and rightly so.

Sadly, the emptiest and loudest amongst them have began to hate their skin, themselves and their neighbours.

This is beginning to paint the good ones in a bad light and would require much effort for this stigma to be washed off.

this madness is gradually growing in yorubaland too. Some yorubas are now actively propagating the claim of hebrew ancestry
