predictor1: Yoruba sef with their languages. 😂 "Ruin" in English which is similar to "Run" in Yoruba. It means the same thing 😂 "Yawn" in English is similar to Yoruba's "Yan". It means the same thing. "Simmer down" is similar to Yoruba's "Simi" or "Simi Edo". Means the same thing too😂 There are also similarities with the Hebrew languages. That's mystery. For example: Aye (Hayah/Ehyeh) means to exist or life Aanu (Hannah) means Mercy/favour. Orun (Arun) means height. Lale (Laylah) means Night. Binu (Benas) means anger. Melo (Melo) means fullness. Iwa (Iwa) means strong character/righteousness. Eyinju (Ayin) means Eyes. Oluwa (Eloah/Elowah) means Lord. Ara (Raahm) means thunder. Ori (Rosh) means head. Ibere (Barasheet) means beginning. Aba (Abah) - father. Baale (Baale of Judah). There are also similarities with the old ancient kemit Egyptian language such as Wu (Rise) - Wu (Rise) Ere (Python) - Ere (Python) Sueq (a fool) - Suegbe (a fool) Ta (sell) - Ta (sell or offer) Enru (fear) - Eru (fear) Kun or gun (brave) - Ekun (brave) Ma or mi (to breathe) - Mi (to breathe) Budo (dwelling place) - Budo (dwelling place) Khu (to kill) - ku (die) Hika (evil) - Ika (evil) Edjo (cobra) - ejo (snakes) AK (male) - Ako (male) Do (river) - Odo (river) Po (many) - Po (many) I have got two theories which is either the Yoruba are ancient people or could be Hebrews who left Egypt at the time when the Hebrews were still in Egypt considering the Yoruba have got the same names for God as the Hebrews. Recall Moses also left Egypt and would have stayed where he was if not for the fact that he was asked to go lead out the other Isrealites/Hebrews. So either that or the Yoruba are ancient people doing their things. 2 Likes |

DOptical: Speaking of the Hebrew names for God which are similar to the Yoruba names for God. Yoruba : Hebrew Oluwa : Eloah/Elowah. Olorun (Olohun) : Elohim. Eledumare : El'Mareh. Ìyè (Eriwoyah) : Yahweh. Also the Hebrew belief in a messiah to be born of a virgin woman. The Jews are still waiting for their Messiah born of Virgin woman since they already crucified Jesus 😂 While Yoruba had their own Ela, the Word born of a virgin woman, Oyigi. Meanwhile, Elah is also the Hebrew name for God. Ifa also refers to the Messiah as Jewesun, the Lamb. In addition, Ifa also talks about how the Messiah spent 3 nights and 3 days in the grave before reemerging. All these are really mysterious tbh Well, if the Yoruba are Hebrews, I can understand why same events happening in Judea was also happening in Yorubaland because the Hebrews were promised of the messiah. Either that or the Yoruba could be ancient people 😂 |
Re: Hebrew Is Indeed IGBO. Amazing Language Similarity by DOptical: 12:06am On Apr 26 |
DOptical: In addition, let me add that the Jewesun name translate into "let the leaf sleep" which should mean serenity. Well , that was Jesus' character tbh, apart from his powerful nature. Ifa is quite mysterious tbh, considering the mention of the Messiah by a virgin woman and also the name Jewesun mentioned as the Lamb by Ifa. This is similar to Jesus (Yeshua) which Christianity uses today. Funnily, Yoruba also tend to pronunce Y as J sometimes. For example, "it shall be" in Yoruba is "Yoowa" which is "Ye ki o wa" in full expatiation. However, it's also pronounced as "Je ki o wa" in Yoruba. So Yoruba uses J for Y at times. Just as J is often used for Y when it comes to the Hebrew. For example, Yehudah is also called Judah! All these are mysterious though. Whichever ways, Yoruba could also be ancient people doing their things anyway. |

DOptical: Is this a certified pre-colonial belief, or was Ifa influenced by latter-day christianity? |
Re: Hebrew Is Indeed IGBO. Amazing Language Similarity by DOptical: 12:28am On Apr 26 |
Reflect7: Ifa predates Christianity. Meanwhile, Ifa also talks about the Messiah which is the Word born of a virgin woman. As I said, if Yoruba are Hebrews, I understand why same events which happened in Judea also happened in Yoruba land however it could also be that the Yoruba are ancient people doing their thing 😂 |

Why are yoruba muslims the most desperate people who downplays Isreal-Igbo connection? The feel more concerned and I daresay mortified than anyone else in the about the Isreal-Igbo connection, but are the biggest travellers to Arabia from Southern Nigeria. Tell them yorubas are originally from Mecca, they will throw an Owambe party in a heartbeat to celebrate. What is their fear about Isreal-Igbo linkage? |

Sctests: How do you know they are Yoruba Muslims? Going by this thread, it's Ndigbo that are absolutely panning the hyping of any tenuous link as they, like the rest of humanity, think this attache by force is sad and pathetic considering what a proud and great tribe full of intelligent people (minus the Obidients of course ) Ndigbo are. Okay maybe one or two Obidients get sense but dem no reach 10 for all of dem. 1 Like |

Tellmeastory:Igbo is Igbo! Hebrew is Hebrew!! Can we stop all this 'attachee by fire by force' already; it's just ridiculous and speaks less of us as a people. In my view, it reeks of inferiority complex when a person or group, repeatedly tries to 'famz' or 'claim relationship' with another person or a more popular group, most especially when the other group never acknowledges this acclaimed connection. I see absolutely no necessity, no relevance and no benefits in this Igbo = Jew concept; it only brings ridicule. 2 Likes |

Sctests:This entire thread can be treated like an IQ test, one on which you and all the other advocates of this nonsensical claim have performed woefully. Given that every human language has tens of thousands of words, any two languages will have some words which sound alike purely by coincidence! If you and your ilk weren't so stupid, you could have done a simple Google or Wikipedia search, which would have informed you that Igbo is a Niger-Congo language, while Hebrew is a Semitic language, which is part of the Afro-Asiatic superfamily. Guess which other major Nigerian language is Afro-Asiatic? Hausa! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hausa_language Yes, Hausas - who your religiously bigoted remarks betray disdain for - have a far stronger claim to relation with the Hebrews than you Igbos ever will, but they don't feel the need to push the issue because they don't suffer from the intense inferiority complex that drives you to associate yourself with Israel on the flimsiest of bases, even though anyone who has studied linguistics can clearly see the strong resemblance between Igbo, Edo and the Yoruba you seem to hate so much. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volta%E2%80%93Niger_languages If Igbo and Hebrew are related on the basis of a few far-fetched resemblances (most of which have already been shown to be lies), it will be interesting to see you explain away the hundreds of genuinely similar or identical words in Igbo and Yoruba. https://www.quora.com/What-are-some-similar-words-in-the-Igbo-and-Yoruba-Languages 2 Likes |
