LOVEALAIGBO:U IGBO MUST LEARN TO BE STRATEGIC AND LEARN TO PLAN AHEAD AND BE PREPARED. MY LAST PARAGRAPH IS FOR IGBO TO KNOW AND SEIZE THE MOMENT. TINUBU HAS SEIZED THE MOMENT TO UTILISE FEDERAL FUNDS FOR A ROAD THAT BENEFITS LAGOS STATE. A ROAD THAT COVERS THE FULL LENGHT OF THE ISLAND WITH RAILWAY IS NO SMALL UNDERTAKING. SECONDLY, UMAHI IS A MERE EMPLOYEE THA\T CAN BE SACKED AND REPLACED BY TINUBU, SO LEAVE HIM ALONE. IF ANYTHING HOLD HIM TO COMPLETE THE FEDERAL PROJECT IN SE ZONE. |
WHOEVER AMONGST US THAT MAKE IT TO ASO ROCK FIRST, MUST PRIORITISE BUILDING THE THIRD AND FOURTH NIGER BRIDGES WITH ROAD AND RAILWAY, 1 SOUTHWARDS OF THE PRESENT EXISTING FIRST AND SECOND NIGER BRIDGES AND THE 2 NORTHWARDS OF THE PRESENT EXISTING FIRST AND SECOND NIGER BRIDGES. WE MUST KNOW WHERE TO TOUCH AND START WORK WITH ALL SERIOUSNESS FROM DAY 1. DONT PLAY POLITICS WITH THIS PROJECT, IT IS OVERDUE AND SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN BUILT A LONG TIME AGO. |
MY NUMBER ONE CONCERN WITH ROAD BUILDING IS THAT, THEY DO NOT DESTROY NATURE. WE HAVE SO MANY EXISTING ROADS THAT ARE EITHER DIRT OR DESTROYED, INSTEAD OF BUILDING NEW ROAD, WHY NOT BUILD THE ALREADY EXISTING ROUTE TO TEN LANES WITH RAILWAY. WE NEED TO PUT ON OUR THINKING HAT AT ALL TIMES. |
ebufa:THAT PROJECT HAS THE INTENTION OF DESTROYING DEEP SEAPORT DEVELOPMENT IN SS REGION. JUST AS THE EASTWEST ROAD BRIDGE DESTROYED ANY HOPE OF A SEAPPORT IN ABIA STATE. THE POSITIVE NOTE IS THAT, THE PROJECT WONT AND CANT BE COMPLETED IN 3 YEARS LEFT OF THE TINUBU ADMINISTRATION. WE MUST MAKE IT CLEAR TO THEM, THAT DESTRUCTION OF VIRGIN FOREST AND WASTING OF LAND IN SSZONE OR ONDO STATE WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. THAT PROJECT WILL DESTROY SO MANY FOREST RESERVE. THEIR ARE ALREADY EXISTING ROADS THAT SHOULD BE UTILISED AND EXPANDED INSTEAD. AS FOR SE ZONE, ONCE THE ROAD REACHES DELTA STATE, IT CAN BE DIVERTED TO ONITSHA AND A CAR/RAILWAY BRIDGE CONSTRUCTED SOUTHWARDS FROM THE POSITION OF PRESENT NIGER BRIDGES, CONNECT IT TO THE ONITSHA/OWERRI ROAD(EXPANDED TO 10 LANES WITH RAIL) AND DOWN TO RIVERS STATE EASTWEST ROAD FOR PEOPLE HEADING TO BAYELSA OR AKWA IBOM. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ao82W9RnBs8 |

Almaiga:U ARE IN ALL THOSE STATES AT ONCE? |
Almaiga:U SAID AS THEY MAKE PEOPLE THINK? WHO ARE MAKING YOU THINK? ANYWAY, KEEP THINKING. LOL |
STEWpid:IGBO ARE HUMAN AND ALL THIS INJUSTICE IS ACTUALLY KILLING THE VERY WEAK AND FRAIL AMONGST US. If Tinubu’s presidency is allowed, it will result in unwarranted negative consequences - Ezeife https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MdwMi6IZ5g |
IF THESE MEN COULD HAVE LIVED ANOTHER 5 TO 10 YEARS, THE HEART BREAK AND INJUSTICE THEY WITNESS IN NIGERIA IS SUFFICIENT TO KILL THEM. THIS IS WHAT I SUSPECT HAPPENED HERE.

Eliana Saks and Moshe Nwafor in Nigeria. |
https://jewishstandard.timesofisrael.com/its-a-growing-community/ https://jewishstandard.timesofisrael.com/its-a-growing-community/ Ms. Saks wanted to learn more about the Nigerian Jewish community. “Like a lot of Americans, who are not aware of Jewish communities other than in America, Israel, and Europe, I was curious, especially because he seemed very passionate about Judaism,” she said. From that message on Facebook, a relationship began to build. First, she followed Mr. Nwafor. Then he sent her a friend request, and they began to message back and forth. Those messages graduated to phone calls, and then to Facetime sessions, eventually every day. The “romantic relationship” kept growing. The more she learned about Moshe, and the more she learned about Nigeria and Moshe’s Jewish community there, the more she wanted to meet him in person. Eventually, interacting with each other virtually wasn’t enough; Moshe and I needed to figure out if we could make our relationship work. In November 2020, the United States Embassy in Abuja remained closed due to the pandemic, so it was impossible for Moshe to obtain a tourist visa to visit me. The only option was for me to go to him. I had to travel to Atlanta to get a visa, since Atlanta had the only Nigerian consulate still issuing them. I had to scramble to find a flight to Nigeria after my first one was canceled and arrange for pre-flight Covid testing as well as Airbnb quarantine accommodations in Abuja for after my arrival. And, because I was traveling to Western Africa, I had to obtain the standard vaccinations and medication. When I landed and saw Moshe waiting outside the airport with a huge grin on his face, I knew I had made the right decision despite the difficulties. Eliana and Moshe plan to establish an organization to aid Jews in Nigeria and elsewhere in Africa. Before my trip, I had reached out to several Philadelphia-area synagogues as well as the Israel Center of Conservative Judaism in Flushing, N.Y., led by my father, Rabbi Moshe Saks, and the Huntington Jewish Center in Long Island, N.Y., led by my brother, Rabbi Ari Saks, for donations of tefillin, mezuzot, mahzorim, siddurim and tzitzit. I even managed to locate a large shofar to ring in the Jewish New Year, a special request from Moshe. So when Moshe brought me to his family’s compound in Kubwa, I didn’t arrive empty-handed. The first to greet me was Moshe’s father, whose warm, infectious smile instantly made me feel at home. The warm welcome carried over into my first Shabbat in Nigeria. It was amazing to see people whose existence was unknown to me only months before daven and read Torah beautifully. Most of the tunes were unfamiliar to me, so I hummed along while reading the tefillot, letting the melodies and spiritual warmth wash over me. I was particularly impressed by the synagogue’s hazzan, a role filled by the most recent bar mitzvah boy. Watching 13-year-old Shmuel Ben Baruch daven Shacharit—the hazzan leads the morning gathering while others take turns running the other services—made it apparent how devoted the community is to educating its youth. We gathered for kiddush in a small room next to the sanctuary, which is housed in a building on Sar Habbakuk’s property. The challah had been baked over a coal stove by Moshe’s mother, Hulder, who is the “ema” of the shul, a role similar to a rebbetzin. The unbraided loaf was smaller and darker than traditional Ashkenazi challah, and its texture was dense—and delicious. Lunch was spicy fish stew with rice, a typical Shabbat meal for the congregation. As the special guest, each Shabbat I spent in Nigeria, I was tasked with giving a dvar Torah, something I hadn’t done since my bat mitzvah. I consulted with the rabbis in my family via FaceTime to come up with something new to teach my hosts and their congregants. But each Shabbat, most already knew the midrash or commentary I shared. Each Shabbat, it was me learning from them. I encountered that same feeling later in my trip, when Moshe and I traveled 300 miles south to the state of Anambra for the wedding of his sister, Shiloh. We visited five synagogues in Anambra and at each, the locals asked if they were making any mistakes in their practice of Judaism. They weren’t. Jews in Nigeria have expended so much effort to study Judaism that the longer I spent with them, the more I felt like an imposter. Moshe with bar mitzvah boy Shmuel Ben Baruch One reason for this perpetual state of learning is because Nigerian Jews realize that, whatever the exact nature of their religious origins, for centuries, their ancestors had not practiced Judaism. Ultimately, they feel that they must convert to become halachically Jewish—and that takes study. Over the last 15 years, rabbis involved in kiruv organizations, most notably Kulanu, which supports emerging and returning Jewish communities around the world, have visited the Igbo Jews, bringing with them religious items and teachings. But few Nigerians have undergone conversion because usually only one clergy person—such as Franklin of Temple Emanu-El or Rabbi Howard Gorin, retired leader of Tikvat Israel Congregation in Rockville, Md., after whom Sar Habbakuk named his own synagogue—visits at a time, and conversion requires a three-person beit din. When I learned of the congregants’ desire to convert, I reached out to my father, Rabbi Moshe Saks, who offered to form a Conservative beit din for their conversion this summer. His first action was to ask Rabbi Gershom Sizomu, the leader of the Abayudaya in Uganda, to head the panel. (In 2008, Sizomu received smicha from the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies at the American Jewish University.) Sizomu is a familiar face to Moshe, since he traveled to Uganda in 2014 to study at Sizomu’s yeshiva. During Moshe’s time with the Abayudaya, he underwent conversion, making him one of only six Nigerians to do so. But soon, there will be more converted Jews in Nigeria. Tikvat Israel members are busily preparing for a mass conversion—of approximately 50 people—in August that will be overseen by Sizomu, my father and Rabbi Gerald Sussman of Temple Emanu-El in Staten Island, N.Y. Bonita Nathan Sussman, Sussman’s wife, will also make the trip in her capacity as a Kulanu vice president and liaison to newly emerging, returning and isolated Jewish communities. All that studying, all those years of living Jewish lives, will formally bring these men and women into the Jewish tent. Their determination is understandable: I have heard from many in Moshe’s community that while they primarily want to convert to self-affirm their Jewish identities, they also struggle to validate their Jewishness to the rest of the Jewish world. In addition to getting to know Nigeria’s Jewish community during my trip, Moshe and I spent the time getting to know each other, spending every day together—and falling further in love. Toward the end of my trip, on the eve of his sister’s wedding, Moshe proposed. I was still in my pajamas when he planted the ring inside my breakfast of eggs with spicy indomie noodles, which have a similar texture to Ramen. I looked up with startled eyes to see Moshe on a bended knee. I happily said yes! Shofar in hand, Sar Habbakuk stands outside the synagogue he founded with (from left) his children Chizoba Magen Bat Habakkuk and Moshe; congregants Japhet Echegwo and Yitzhak Ben Avraham; and (in front) Shmuel Ben Baruch and Eliana. I will be returning to Nigeria with several family members in August for the conversion. It was heartbreaking to have to leave Moshe at the beginning of January, right after we got engaged, but we were able to reunite in Rwanda at the end of April for a quick visit and to prepare for the conversion. Meanwhile, Moshe and I will continue working to obtain a K-1 visa for him to travel to the United States—still challenging due to the pandemic—where we will legally marry and stand under the chuppah for our Jewish wedding, which I want to celebrate surrounded by my family. Beyond that, our happily ever after includes establishing an organization to aid the Jews of Nigeria and other African Jewish communities. https://www.hadassahmagazine.org/2021/07/07/finding-love-judaism-nigeria/

"The Jews originated from the Igbo tribe": Ooni of Ife says, Nigerians react Updated Wednesday, November 29, 2023 at 10:08 AM by Bada Yusuf The Ooni Adeyeye Ogunwusi of Ife has said that the Jews, the dominant tribe in Israel, originated from the Igbo tribe In a viral video, Ogunwusi claimed that contrary to popular opinion, the existence of the Igbo predated that of the Jews and the world needed to correct that Before now, the Igbo have always claimed that they migrated from Israel and that they were originally from the Jews PAY ATTENTION: Follow our WhatsApp channel to never miss out on the news that matters to you! Ife, Osun - Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, the Ooni of Ife, has claimed that the Jews, who are the major tribe that occupied Israel in the Asia continent and found in some parts of Europe, came out of the Igbo tribe of Nigeria. The monarch made the comment in a video seen by Legit.ng, where he also said that the Igbo were the first to discover commerce and wealth in the history of the human race.

PAY ATTENTION: Share your outstanding story with our editors! Please reach us through info@corp.legit.ng! The Ooni said: "There is this mistake that the world usually makes; they make this mistake that the Igbos came from the Jews. No, it is the other way round. "The truth be told, the first human race that existed was the Igbos before the Jews, and we were all living together at the centre of tropical rain forest, which is the heart of the whole thing."

It also came at a time the Jews were killing the Palestinians in Gaza. History has it that the Palestinians accommodated the Israeli after the first world war just as many analysts believe Lagos accommodated many other tribes.

"Igbo’s as we are known today in Nigeria didn’t start here, most west Africans today migrated downwards from the North Africa after the Invasion of Arabs who now occupy the whole of North Africa, they even went as far as destroying some of the status that could give them away. "This is reason I get annoyed when I see some Igbo’s trying to fans Israel to see them as Jews, black race gave birth to every other race in this world today, if you go to South Africa today, you will see a tribe that looks like Chinese Africans. You can’t say they came from China, instead it’s possible China came from them."
