Their are other instances of people simply claiming to be jewish despite not being remotely related, its not an uncommon phenomenon.

equiano never said we were conducting jewish practices, where is this coming from? and you do know cultures can share similar practices yet not have anything to do with them.

As for the ethiopians they do have evidence of jewish migration to their place that isnt vague quotes from the bible.

No sensible igbo person that knows of their history is claiming to be jewish, emphasize on sensible.

as for when people even misguidedly picked up judaism, its likely in the 20th century, maybe even the late 19th century. that is when the existence of christianity or even the jews was made known to my ancestors. anyone claiming to be jewish is ignorant of their proud history and clinges to a hebrew myth to cope for their lack of self esteem.

Maazieze:
igbo precolonial society was highly spiritual, it still is in a way, but warped by colonialism and christianity.
he wasnt refering to any religion just to the organised and spiritual mannerism in which our society was orchestrated

His qoute reads as;
"the strong analogy which ... appears to prevail in the manners and customs of my countrymen and those of the Jews, before they reached the Land of Promise, and particularly the patriarchs while they were yet in that pastoral state which is described in Genesis—an analogy, which alone would induce me to think that the one people had sprung from the other.[8]"

Maazieze:
Prior to any colonial contact their is no known proof of judaism as a religion in igboland. the modern assertion of igbo's being a jewish tribe is misattributed from a quote of Olaudah Equiano, who made a comparison but never asserted equivalence.

Rest in peace to her

But if her papa and mama vote Apc and tinubu then am sorry no rest in peace

If you can't handover your daughter or sister for Marriage to a sick old man with dementia not physically and mentally fit and he is not aware of his environment with parkinson disease but you want this same man to head over 220 million Nigerians then may you and your family know no peace

Nobody should quote me and insult me since Nigerians have decided to be sick and always step into the polling unit with tribalism and petty sentiments

Then let everyone be sick

Omi Igbo. How did Peter Obi rule Anambra o.
You will leave your cursed region to come to Lagos to live a better life and have access to basic amenities yet you hate the man that made Lagos liveable for you!.
Tinubu will rule you for complete 8 years by the special grace of our lord Jesus Christ.
If you don't like it you can relocate to Ghana!.

Ogbuefi2020:
While British trading companies had overran yorubaland, arochukwu controlled trading on the bight of Biafra and blocked the British from accessing the igbo hinterlands till 1902

Sunday2021:
Nobody is begging you idiots. Only last month some northern youths tell buhari to give you your Biafra, what did your elders say? Your elders including ohanneze called for the arrest of the arewa youths, some of your people even called it treason.
You igbos are are just confused greedy bastards.

smokinloud:
Whether they own trade or not, he nor concern me. My own be say make dem stop claiming "Lagos is no man's land" and live with us as non-indigene.
We are all one as Nigerians but they should take their superiority complex to their region. Shikena!.

Don’t learn about Igbos

Learn about life beyond tribalism and develop yourself

Don’t be so myopic

Igbo never had an empire

Your small Nri was anabra only
Igbo known as Ebo before colony was under Benin kingdom

Neckpresser101:
Igbos are not colonists

They've never been


Igbos are republicans



There's a popular igbo saying..

Egbé bere Ugo bere

Which means Everyone has opinion to make in the state of matter in the Igbo community.


Igbos are peace loving and progressive


There has never been a time in history Igbos invaded there neighbors which is us in SS for conquering



Yet every day in nairaland we see igbophobic posts


History has it that Igbos work in community style of government

Where all the community has to compete and work together


That's why igbo weeks are all market days

Eke Orie Nkwọ Afọ

All of the neighboring communities must not have same market day so anyone can at any time go to the neighboring community to trade and buy stuff


Trade is an igbo thing their days of the week are named after market days


Igbos are never conquerors but tradesmen
