THE ORIGIN OF IGBO LAND PLS KNOW YOUR ORIGIN IT IS WISE AND EDUCATING TO KNOW YOUR HISTORY AND FAMILY TREE LINE AND WHERE YOU ORIGINATED FROM .
They documented some of our history in your bible but you don't know. IGBOS BIBLICAL GENEALOGY.
Let's begin according to Genesis 29 verse
30: JACOB had
twelve (12) sons namely:
#1. Ruben
#2. Simeon
#3. Levi
#4. Judah
#5. Dan
#6. Naphtali
#7. Gad
#8. Asher
#9. Issachar
#10. Zebulun
#11. Joseph
#12. Benjamin.
The 7th son was GAD.
and according to Genesis 46 vs16. GAD
had seven (7) sons
namely:
Ziphon
Haggi
Shunni
Ezbon
Eri
Arodi
Areli.
Sometime in Middle East, famine struck
and Jacob moved
with his family and about 70 other
relations to Egypt.
But before then Joseph (which was 11th
son of Jacob) had
already been sold to Egypt by his brothers,
where he was
made Governor General under a King
Pharaoh.
As time goes on when the Pharaoh that
knows Joseph died,
they started suffering persecutions from
the hand of
Egyptians but ERI the 5th son of GAD
foresaw the danger,
persecution, and wickedness coming and
he decided to
leave in time with his two younger
brothers, ARODI & ARELI
with one of his half brothers.
They travelled through Ethiopia, Sudan
and down towards
West Africa through river nile and landed
at a place known
as AGULERI today through Omambala river
in Anambra
state, around 1305 BC.
(I) ERI established and lived close to the
Omambala river.
He was wealthy and wise like his great
grand father
(Abiama) Abraham.
That is why Anambra state has the
highest number of rich
people in Africa.
ERI; had five (5) sons:
(1) Agulu
(2) Atta
(3) Oba
(4) Hebrew/Ibo
(5) Menri
(1) AGULU; as the first son stayed back
and established in
the place known as Agulu-ERI (Agulu son
of ERI) in
Anambra state.
(2) ATTA; moved to upward North and
established a place
known as "IGALA Kingdom " and that is
why their overall
KING is known as "Atta of IGALA" in Kogi
state
(3) OBA; left and founded a place known
as Oba Kingdom in
Anambra state.
(4) HEBREW; which have been changed to
mean Hibo or Ibo.
He was very powerful spiritual man and
that is why people
from this area are always very spiritual.
He left and founded Igbo-Etiti, Igbo-
Adagbe, Igbo- Eze
(within Nsukka and parts of Anambra).
(5) MENRI left and founded a place known
as ""AgukwuNRI".
NRI Kingdom.
(II). ARODI moved to a place known as
"ARO- CHUKWU".
Very industrious and good at arts and
crafts.
(e.g: Aba Ngwa people of Aba).
ARODI gave birth to:
(1) Nembe
(2) Ngwa
(3) Abakaliki
(4) Ogoni
(5) Afikpo
(6) Aro-Ikot Ekpene (Akwa Ibom )
(7) Aro- Echie (Rivers state)
( Arondizuogu.
During slave trade Aro spread all over the
world. America,
Cuba, Brazil and "ARO-festival" is always
been celebrated
in CUBA.
(III). ARELI was a man with a lot of
Wisdom. The native
tongue of his descendants is today
known as "Central
Igbo". And people from this Area have the
highest number of
graduates and professors in Igbo land.
ARELI gave birth to:
(1) Owerri
(2) Umuahia
(3) Diobu (River state)
(4) Okigwe
(5) Orlu
(6) Nkwerre
(7) Elele (Mba Ise)
(9) Mba Ano, etc...
ERI half brothers moved and founded
IJAW nationality and
some parts of Edo State and many other
parts of Niger
Delta.
EVIDENCES and SIMILARITIES:
Now to verify some of the things I have
said above.
(1) If you get to Aguleri there is a
particular house known as
OBI GAD (house of GAD).
Remember GAD was the 7th son of Jacob
(Gen 29:30) and
GAD had five (5) sons of which the last
three (3) who were
ERI, ARODI and ARELI and some of their
half brothers left
Egypt to West Africa).
The OBI GAD was the resting or relaxing
place for ERI and
his brothers and they named it OBI GAD in
order to honour
their father (GAD, the 7th son of Israel).
This OBI GAD was
the first house built in Igboland. This is
the reason why
every Igbo man always build a place called
OBI/OBU in his
house in honour of his father and mainly
for relaxation and
in the olden days, there is always a family
shrine or little
oracle, and why they worship Oracle then
was because they
left EGYPT before GOD gave 10
commandments to Moses
for the Israelites, of which one of the 10
commandments is
against idol worship. (even though
modern day Igbos now
build OBI as outside BAR without any
Shrine, while some
Christians don't build OBI anymore
because of their beliefs).
It can also be Called ERI TEMPLE.
The Obi GAD also serve as a Consulting
place for some
royal fathers from other community that
have Direct root to
ERI.
ANOTHER EVIDENCE.
(2) At the Burial place of ERI, there is a
TRINITY TREE
standing on the grave site.
These are three Trees but are strongly
United and
connected by Single Tap Root.
(3) "ADA" means first Daughter in Israel
(Gen 4 vs 19- 20)
and it means the same thing in Igbo
language.
(4) Before an Igbo man makes a
contribution in a public
gathering, he will shout "Igbo kwenu "
and the people will
respond "Yah" and "Yah" is short form of
" Yahweh.
Yahweh is the name of Jewish GOD.
(5) STAR OF DAVID AND some bronze
medals Encrypted
with Hebrew Codes were found in many
part of the Igbo
land.
(6) Israelis (Jews) manufactures 80% the
world weapons
and 70% of USA weapons.
Just like Igbos manufactured 80% of all
the weapons used
during Biafran. Which no other African
nation has done.
Igbos were only defeated during the war
due to Hunger
policy.
By now, we would have manufacturing
war weapons for
Africans, and no country will have to go
outside Africa to
purchase weapons to fight Insurgency, if
not for the bad
policy of Nigeria.
Igbos are the most highly technologically
inclined people in
the whole of Africa.
You will also notice that Igbos always
handle the post of
science and technology and industry in
most Nigeria
ministerial post.
The first West African billionaire is from
Nnewi: Chief Sir
Louis Ojukwu.
The black Indigenous Vehicle
Manufacturers eg:
INNOSON MOTORS AND
COSHARIS MOTORS,
Indigenous MOBILE PHONE AND COMPUTER
MANUFACTURERS eg:
(A) SLOK MOBILE (Orji Uzo kalu)..
(B) ZINOX COMPUTERS (Leo Stan Ekeh).
(C) SLOT MOBILE (NNAMDI EZEIGBO)
(D) Father of internet and founder of the
fastest computer in
the world (PHILIP EMEAGWALI) etc.
(7) We carry home our dead ones just like
the Israelites
(Gen 49 vs 29-50). (Just like the Israelites,
we were led or
ruled by Elders and Priest.
There was no King in Israel until Samuel
appointed Saul as
the King of Israel and that was why
Israelites were led by
Prophet Moses and so many other
Prophets.
CONCLUSION: Isreali Ambassador (Noah
Katz) Confirmed
that Igbos are Jews. (Check Daily Sun
Newspapers 28th
March 2004).
Therefore, Igbo are the Engine Block and
Japan of Africa ,
no wonder an Author with international
reputation,
"Emefiena Ezennia" said that "In Biafra
Africa Died". We are
good people, we love our neighbours, we
accommodate
anybody. We can live everywhere and
develop anywhere. It
is in our blood to develop.
We need Igbos to develop Nigeria, Africa
and even the world
as a whole, we are God's people, a chosen
generation!
Nigeria should stop the marginalization of
the Igbos and the
Biafrans or let them have their freedom.
For the Igbos we should know who we
are, dream and think
bigger, for you are the son of the most
high God, the God of
Abraham (Abiama) believe in yourself and
work harder as it
is in your blood, every Igbo parents should
endeavour to
teach their children Igbo language and
culture all the time! Mba nile nwere ihe ha jiri di EBUBE# EDUCATION AND UNITY IS WISDOM. share this knowledge and wisdom to 1000 people and give me back yes �
you will see the power of God of Israel in 7 day

Na wah oh! Na persin village be this!?

Give an unshackled Ndigbo just ten years and watch them soar!

The funny thing is that some more people have contacted me to mount another new building in this town soon. The whole area is changing, very beautiful school they have.

oilPUSSY:
I love that man for his wonderful performance in Igbo land. If the past two useless governors had done half of what he did, Ebonyi would have been more beautiful than its today. I give kudos to him. He deserves more than second tenure.

I think the whole people of Ebonyi state are solidly behind him, they can see and feel his government policies.

Peaceful, quiet, decent villages. ......

Chukwu goziere m ndi Igbo nile. ..........

This is supposed to be a village

Agbudu Udi is so packed with many beautiful new buildings that you will think you're in the GRA of a state capital. ... ....

The story of Agbudu Udi is the story of almost every Igbo village with varying degrees of development. We salute the Traditional ruler and all the leaders here and wish them a happy Christmas in advance.

Xander85:
Spyder, you're joking right!

This is the first time i'm hearing this! How come he never sang in Ikwerre dialect but always central Igbo?

I was shocked myself when I heard it. I had been under the impression he was from Imo state.

Xander85:
Musical intermission!

Can anyone argue with the fact that the most enduring songs ever to come out of Igboland were recorded in the period preceding and after the civil war? I think it has something to do with the pains and emotional scars of the upheavals and civil war of the time being channelled into music! Same thing could be said about the American black civil rights period of the 60s, as the most enduring and evergreen music was made by blacks mainly during this period; think of Otis Redding and Sam Cooke.

The spotlight in this post is on Harcourt Whyte....an Ijaw man that sang some of the best (if not the best) Igbo gospel songs ever! Another one is Sir Warrior and his Oriental Brothers.

Feel free to add yours...those songs that remind you of your parents or magically transport you to the late 60s and 70s when you listen to them.

How about Joe Nez? He must be from Ikwerre area of Rivers State ?

From the Research Work Of Solomon Iwejuo, Biafra land correspondent of Family Writers Press ress.

I think they need to make more research here, Ozara is not a language on its own. The whole people of Nkanu West, East and Nike in Enugu east all speak the Awkunanaw variant of the Igbo language.

I was in Onitsha the day Autoreports posted the last update last two weeks, I stood there and looked at the bridge and was disappointed in the OP misleading topic which quickly went to front page.

Nothing is happening in and around the Niger Bridge.
