Below is the true image of the ancient Israelites. It is from the British Museum in London. YES, THEY WERE NEGROES. The image you are looking at is the depiction of the Hebrews left by the Assyrians who took many of them into exile

Many sub-Sahara Africans, which include the Yoruba, are the twelve tribes of Israel in exile. The Hebrews are not lost. The Bible makes it abundantly clear they are in sub-Sahara Africa. Consider the following verse.

"From beyond the rivers of Cush My worshipers, My scattered people will bring Me an offering."
Zephaniah 3:10

So there you have it. The Israelites are in the Land of Cush, which is sub-Sahara Africa. They fled there when Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonians destroyed ancient Israel 3000 years ago.

Okay, not all sub-Sahara Africans are Hebrews. But the verse below says the Israelites in exile are in the Land of Cush, which is Africa.

"From beyond the rivers of Cush My worshipers, My scattered people, will bring Me an offering."
Zephaniah 3:10

Many Sub-Sahara Africans are the true descendants of the ancient Israelites. The Bible makes it clear that the Hebrews are in exile and they are in Africa. Consider the following verse that clearly states that the descendants of the Hebrews are in the land of Cush aka Africa.

"From beyond the rivers of Cush My worshipers, My scattered people, will bring Me an offering."
Zephaniah 3:10

Tony Spike: Dudu and energy48, I believe both of you are correct except that onus of the Hebrew proof is being dissected from different views according to your understanding. Energy48, by the way Dudu_negro believes that ancient Hebrews were not the only semitic settlers. Infact, Lange proves this in his research that some elements of Assyrians and Babylonians might have indeed settled here too. However, there is a strong evidence that the Hebrews had a higher population among the migrant lots as reflected by the Yoruba customs and practices. I will appeal that you guys should please agree to disagree. Thanks.
Hi Tony, the people in current Iraq are descended from the Assyrians. They entered Africa as invaders, NOT settlers. So no Africans can claim any links to them and there is no history that says Assyrians settled in Africa. There was no reason for them to do so. Here is a link of their African invasions that might interest you.

LOL! One would have thought if you are Igbo, you will be grateful that the Yoruba are the Hebrews because they are African people that Igbos can trace ancestry links to. Igbos can't do the same to any people in ancient israel . Igbos have to accept, unlike them, the Yoruba can PROVE they are the Hebrews. They have proof in their original name, their oral history as well as their customs and traditions. The Igbo on the other hand have NONE of these to prove any link to the Hebrews. All the Igbo do is speculate and make baseless wild claims about Hebrew ancestry. In fact, your very own words convict you on this. You claim the Yoruba are full of witchcraft and what not and the Igbo aren't. Guess what, that statement proves conclusively that the Igbo are NOT Hebrews. Because the Bible makes it clear that at the time the Hebrews fled to Africa they were HARDCORE idol worshippers full of witchcraft and whatnot. So you see if the Igbo don't have idol worship and witchcraft, then they can't be descended from the idol worshipping Hebrews. It also explains why the Igbo have NOTHING to show to prove any connection to the Hebrews. You get my drift? So if the Igbo wants to show his connection to the Hebrews, they should be looking for ways to show their ancestral links to the Yoruba. Because it is only by doing so that Igbos too can show they are also descended from the ancient Israelites.

This fool, Energy, said British were the first to name us Yoruba. Really?? They named Nigeria from river Niger. What was the root or source from which British colonialists minted the term or name Yoruba?
What are you saying? That the name Yoruba existed before Crowther came up with it? Are you out to embarrass yourself again my friend? Well! It is your funeral. Show me where the name YORUBA existed anywhere prior to Crowther's invention of the name.

amor4ce: My Yoruba is still very poor so I can't yet translate the Yoruba 'EWE' but if it is the same as 'EVRH' then the author's claim that 'EVRH' is same as 'EYEO'/'OYO' and 'YARBA' is not tenable unless it can be shown that they have the same meaning.
Is this some kind of a bad joke? You have blog somewhere out there about Yoruba culture, language and traditions and can't speak and understand the lingo? Have you ever lived among the people and for how long? Granted the language is broken into various dialects but you have to know at least one such dialect to really know what you are talking about. Failing that, you shouldn't be blogging about the language, culture and the traditions of the people, when you lack even the basics of understanding their language. What exactly are you trying to achieve with your blog given the fact, by your own admission, you are deficient in these matters?

Tony Spike: As a diversion, I have some questions to ask you on the tribe of Dan. In the ebook link above, it was mentioned that Dahomey is an offshoot of this group. From my understanding, people from the tribe of Dan were great sailors alongside the Phoenicians. In the time of Solomon and perhaps, David they were the sea-farers and merchants. Today, the name Dan is reputed to be prevalent in Europe, this can be seen in the names like Danube (River), Denmark (country), infact, the whole of Ireland is full of locations starting with Dan and Dunn. Can we safely assume that a substantial number of the tribe of Dan actually settled in Scandinavia and Northern Europe? I need your opinion on this. Thanks.
I wouldn't put the tribe of Dan as great sailors alongside the Phoenicians. I say so because there is no evidence of anything like that in the Bible. The Danites claim to seafarers is only mentioned in the book of Judges. That is all, after that, it is not mentioned again. That does not translate as great seafarers, it is was so, the Bible would have said so. Therefore, anything more than what is stated in scripture, I will dismiss as mere speculation. The Dannites were also gifted craftsmen (Exodus 31:6, Exodus 38:23). Nevertheless, what the Dannites were known for throughout the Bible was their idolatry and this is what I focused upon.
When you say Dan is reputed to be in Europe, again the natural question is; which Europeans say this and what is in their history to back up this claim? Individuals on their own may come up with baseless claims which is nowhere in the history of the people. This is not history but one man’s opinion and opinions are not facts. Therefore, if someone claims a European people are of the tribe of Dan, then the natural question is to know if this claim is backed up in the history of the people. If not then it is mere speculation not worth repeating.
We have top deal with FACTS when writing about our people's history so that the history of the people is not seen as a farce and open to ridicule. What I mean is, if there is no information to back up a claim or a suspicion about a people’s origins, then it is best left alone. There is no European history anywhere I know of that says such and such European people are of the tribe of Dan.

In fact such claims that Europeans belong to the tribe of Dan flies in the face of Scripture. Because the Bible tells us that the Assyrians took the Hebrews into exile in Asia and the remnant of Judah fled to Africa. So nowhere does Europe feature as the home of the ancient Israelites. That being the case it is not wise to overlook the places mentioned in the Bible as the last location of the Israelites and be focusing on Europe to find the Danites.
CultureRe: You Might Want To Know That We Yorubas Are Part Of The Lost Tribe Of Israel by Energy48(m):
Tony Spike: I cannot say for sure where the name Yoruba came from. As a matter of fact, you appear to be somewhat correct on this. The reason I support you on this is because most Yorubas where addressed by the names of their dialectical enclave e.g. we have the Oyos, Ibadans, Ijeshas, Akokos, Egbas, Ekitis, Ijebus e.t.c. It seem the populace split according to their their language intelligibility. Therefore, if the Yoruba people were referred to as EVRH, it must have been a long ago before language dialect identification was applied. I hope you understand, sir?

As a diversion, I have some questions to ask you on the tribe of Dan. In the ebook link above, it was mentioned that Dahomey is an offshoot of this group. From my understanding, people from the tribe of Dan were great sailors alongside the Phoenicians. In the time of Solomon and perhaps, David they were the sea-farers and merchants.

Can we safely assume that a substantial number of the tribe of Dan actually settled in Scandinavia and Northern Europe? I need your opinion on this. Thanks.
The name Oyo or Yor only referred to the original inhabitants of Old Oyo. Therefore, you are absolutely correct that the people have always been known by, as you put it, dialectical enclave names like e.g. we have the Oyos, Ibadans, Ijeshas, Akokos, Egbas, Ekitis, Ijebus e.t.c. However, despite these enclave names, the people collectively had a unifying designation, as people of one nation. This is the name Bello used to identify them - YARBA.

You also mentioned if the people were referred to as ERVERH that must have been long ago. Yes, and No! Is the answer to that. YES, in the sense that ERVERH is the ancestral name and it is thousands of years old. NO, in the sense that the name was in use just a few hundred years ago by their neighbours. Yarba is Erverh being mispronounced by the non-Erverh Fulani person. Try pronouncing Yarba and Erverh and you will find it sounds almost the same. Yer-Berh (Yarba) and Erh-Verh (Erverh)! Did you see how the two words sound amlost the same? It is no secret in Africa we tend to mispronounce our neighbours name. It is rare we pronounce our neighbours names correctly. Hence the Fulani knew the people by the proper designation which is Erverh but mispronounced it as Yer-berh (Yarba). Nevertheless, the people of Dahomey down south being kinsmen of the people of Old Oyo knew the proper or right pronunciation, which is Erverh, the plural of which is ErverhO. This name the Europeans wrote as Eyeo cos they did not have the VAV sound in the alphabet to write it out correctly. Thus, as you can see, it was not so long ago the names Yerberh (Yarba) or ErverhO (Eyeo), the original name of the people was in vogue. 200 years ago the people themselves including their neighbours knew themselves as Yer-Berh (Yarba) or ErverhO (Eyeo).

When Old Oyo was destroyed by the jihadist, most of the inhabitants found themselves on the Slave ships to the Americas. However, a sizeable number escaped and are currently found in the Volta Region of Ghana, Togo and the Abeokuta region. Even though my family is predominatly in Togo, we still have ancestral relatives still living in Badagry. You will find these (whether in Volta Region, Togo or Badagry) have the original history and will readily tell you they are the original inhabitants of Old Oyo or Yor.

Unfortunately the name Yarba became corrupted to Yarriba when other Europeans stumbled upon the name. Things changed for the worse and the name Erverh became lost when after the fall of Old Oyo, the various tribal enclaves sought refuge with the white missionaries to escape the Fulani jihad. The Europeans wanted a unifying name for all the people and they turned to their star protege, Samuel Crowther to come up with a unifying name for the people. Crowther as a good servant of his white masters did not want to stray far from Yarriba which the Europeans were familiar with and coined the name Yoruba. That in a nutshell is how the name Yoruba came about.

I will find time to address your other points about the tribe of Dan.

You tell me! You claim you know Yoruba history past 200 years. So you have a name that we all know started with Crowther. What were the people called before Crowther christened them Yoruba? It is simple answer if you know Yoruba history. And here is a hint. The Fulani in Bello's time NEVER called the people Yoruba. That name started with the colonialists and has since become established.

Yoruba as a term of usage for the people preceeded Sultan Bello. If Bello called us Yoruba, where did he get this term from.? Did he invent it or heard it passed down? People that have no knowledge of who Qahtan was are readily cliging to what was first written about Yoruba, which came down from Bello.....but what about unwritten knowledge that survived oral transmission, should we reject them? Yoruba was not given to us by Bello, it was not guven to us by Crowther and neither was it given to us by British. We have always had and known ourselves to be Yoruba.
My friend, prior to Crowther christening the people Yoruba, that was not their name.

The Hebrews came to settle in Africa THREEE THOUSAND YEARS ago not a few hundred years ago. The mistake you and others make is assume we are talking about 200 years of Yoruba history. The fact of the matter is Bishop Crowther wiped out Yoruba history when he changed the people's name to Yoruba. Hence most Yoruba people can't tell their History past when Crowther changed the name. Despite this tragedy in history some like to maintain the ignorance. Not anymore! The people needs to know their true identity and it is not Yoruba, but HEBREW.
