I don’t know why some people are just so intellectually lazy to engage in a meaningful argument.
Someone came up with a piece backed up by a fact (reference) why not counter it by your own reference(s) if you are so sure he is wrong instead of shouting “inferiority complex”. I don’t see how someone reading some history about his origin is tantamount to INFERIORITY COMPLEX.

If in 200 or 300 Years to come some clans in Haiti or Jamaica decides to trace their root to a particular place in West African does that make them INFERIOR?

The removal of history from Nigeria curriculum has seriously done lots of damage than good. Nowadays nobody want to make research into the history of things any longer.

Note: I am not from the aforementioned tribe I am just a critical thinker

AbdulSleeky:



You are not a critical thinker.

Sub-saharan cultures are older than Jewish cultures.

I wonder how it is possible to be a descendant of a peoples that you are older than.

I repeat- no Nigerian tribe is descended from Jews or the middle east.

While not holding brief for the Jew connection, This my post goes to Ibibio and Efik people who are quick to dissociate themselves from Biafra and Igbo (largely because of their support for APC than actual beef with Igbo). As you can see, we are one people. We have mingled too much in the past and DNA may reveal that our fraternity is in the 90 percentiles.
There is no point to hate your actual brother because of an abokì that is 1000 km away. There is no point to claim Nigeria identity forced on your ancestors by whites and there is no point to claim Niger Delta identity with Edo and Ijaw nations you had nothing in common before Nigeria 200 years ago.
The Igbo, Ibibio and Efik etc are one nation under God.

My brother, the ibibio in that context mean all the subtribe of ibibio.annang,efik,enyong,,iron,andonis are all ibibio. Pls read books

Blackking98:

So are we Jews? I don't think so

donnie:
The Ibibios have persistently stated that their ancestors were Jews and believe themselves to be related to the greater Jewish world. Same belief is held by certain Igbos.

The "CERTAIN IBOS" are the IBIBIO remnants of OLD IBOM (AROCHUKWU) and other areas where IBIBIOS have been assimilated by the Igbos who migrated and later took over lands originally belonging to the Ibibio.

Instances are cited of similarities between IBIBIO and HEBREW in sentence structure, idioms, proverbs, and word usage. Common social customs, such as certain forms of purification, have also been noted. Were small colonies of Jews deported from Portugal and established along this section of the Guinea coast in the sixteenth century, to be absorbed by the dominant Negro population in later years?

Well, while it's quite possible that small colonies of black European Jews deported from Spain and Portugal did settle along the coastal regions of OLD CALABAR-AKWA IBOM axis, the IBIBIOS have a longstanding oral history of migration from the northern kingdom of ancient Israel through Egypt and Sudan all the way to Cameroon and, finally, Southeastern Nigeria, settling first in the district now known as IBOM (Aro-Chukwu). Talbot estimated that the igbo-group invaded the present day Arochukwu with the help of some Ekoi to drive away the original Ibibio occupants of the area. He suggested that this war must have taken place between 1300and 1400 A.D and caused them to resettle in their present area.

But the Ibibio people had their IBIT ITAM temples as well as PYRAMIDS at NSUDI (NSUDE) near UDI (Itiat Udi) where they practiced SUN WORSHIP very similar to those of ancient Egypt and the Canaanites. This should not be surprising since the children of Israel were known not only to have learnt the customs of Egyptians having lived in and migrated to and from Egypt, they broke the commandments of the Most High in worshipping and burning incense to the sun, even while still in Jerusalem (2 Kings 23:5,11; Deuteronomy 17:3) for which reason they were driven out of their land (Deut 4:25-28).

Ezekiel 8
15“Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see this? Yet you will see even greater abominations than these.” 16 So He brought me to the inner court of the house of YAHUAH, and there at the entrance to the temple of YAHUAH, between the portico and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs to the temple of YAHUAH and their faces toward the east; and they were bowing to the east in worship of the sun. 17“Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see this? Is it not enough for the house of Judah to commit the abominations they are practicing here, that they must also fill the land with violence and continually provoke Me to anger? Look, they are even putting the branch to their nose!

My brother if you read the history well, you would realised that Hope wadell had written this long time ago.there is a whole lot of similarly.jews are God's own and am happy if my heritage has to do with the Jew.this is an external source,not written by ibibio.knowledge reduces our level of ignorance. Good morning brother

The overwhelming over domineering nature of the Igbo is why the Ibibios and sister tribes support the other Nigerian tribes that have enabled them (the Ibibios) attain freedom from Igbo "bond age"

lomprico:
of course there are different varieties, that's why I said you should check on those commonly found in middle east. If am ignorant you won't be replying my posts.

selemempe:
the ibibios have never actually supported other Nigerians against igbos

In the old eastern region the Ibibio supported Igbo and igbos supported Ibibio
During the war the Ibibio were the only minorities who supported igbos and served in Biafra army and government.
Since returning to democracy the ibibios have voted the exact same way as igbos


The only issue is that unlike igbos were support for Biafra is currently overwhelming, in Ibibio and Efik today, it's 50/50....that is the problem. Don't go lying to your self that Ibibio will support you against igbos, they won't. Even the ibibios here will tell you

MuttleyLaff:

PrecisionFx:
Jews in Poland are simple white caucasian Europeans who practice Judaism as a religion.

Was it Europeans that brought terrorism a.k.a Islam to Africa?

Do you know what is comprenhsion?

lucasalves:


So someone else wrote your story and that gives you a sense of pride? God's own people? Show me where the devil's own people are (it shall not be well with whoever brainwashed Africans with religion). Yeah reading the wrong things is even worse than not reading at all. God's own people? Look around your community, does it seem like anywhere God would want his people? I bet southeast Asians will be thanking "God" they are not the so called "God's own people". When literarily every single DNA of any individual alive traces back to Africa, some people are here trying to steal other people's culture. What exactly has gone wrong in your lives to make you this gullible and easy to manipulate? And these are the ones we share country with, this country can divide soon enough for me.

Hi love

emapeteum:

Pls I don't want to drag this with you. Do you believe humanity is one? Pls tell me one thing your forefathers did that you are really proud of?Do you know that this DNA of a thing and carbon dating has been disputed?pls read books

selemempe:
it's not begging. It's diplomacy. Something we igbos severely lack in politics. Gra gra hasn't gotten us anything yet. Check well

OhBiafra:
That begging smells of desperation, it means you have nothing to offer and is only trying to benefit from them, something which has always turned away the Niger Deltans from the Biafran struggle. Your begging seems to prove them right. By the way, why must the Niger delta be part of Biafra?
