Israel is a tiny country and will happily assist Biafra but cannot accommodate Igbo population.

That is why they have remained silent.

Igbo are not seeking for Israel bt assistance in developing Biafra to a formidable state.

Nnamdi Kanu did not start this.

Eze Nri and Eri had religious practice that were identified by they the British as Jewish wen they entered igbo hinterland.

Everybody cannot be wrong.

The first man who linked the supposed Igbo-Jewish connection, was an Olaudah Equiano a freed Igbo slave who lived in Britain in the 18th


. In his popular autobiography Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, or Gustavus Vassa the African, first published in London in 1789, one finds Equiano, an Igbo, remarking on “the strong analogy” that “appears to prevail in the manners and customs of my countryman, and those of the Jews.” Equiano points to circumcision, sacrifices, and purifications as examples of this resemblance, and concludes that the Igbo and Jews are of the same stock. “

Thank God that i'm not the only one calling the Igbo-Jewish link for the bullsh1t that it is. It's inferiority complex that will make a people of over 40 million to be going aabout claiming what they're not.

U SEE THE PROBLEM WITH SOME IGBO PEOPLE TODAY IS INTELLECTUAL LAZYNESS.

IF IGBO INVESTED IN INSTITUTION TO CARRY OUR EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATION, THE IKWERE PROBLEM AND IKA WOULD HAVE BEEN LONG RESOLVED.

Y WILL U BELIEVE IGBO ARE ANCIENT HEBREW PEOPLE WEN U DONT BELIEVE IKWERE AND IKA ARE IGBO.

THERE IS MORE TO THIS IGBO THING THAN MEETS THE EYES.

U NEED TO INVESTIGATE BEFORE U OPEN YOUR MOUTH TO TALK.

THE SIMILARITY BETWEEN IGBO AND ISREAL MUST BE INVESTIGATED TO BE EXPLAINED AND UNDERSTOOD.

ONE THING EVERYBODY AGREES ON IS THAT THERE ARE SIMILARITIES.

SO HOW DO U EXPLAIN THE SIMILARITIES?

We can go around in circle til the Sun rise but those of us that know, know.

I think the entire Israel, Know.

Obi1kenobi:
Ethiopian Jews are actually Jews with thousands of years of proven Semitic links. The Igbo claim is a myth, plain and simple. The very fact you think Israel are just waiting there to rescue you shows you believe them to be your gods basically. You diminish your own tribe and heritage because you consider Jews some master race.

Eze Eri has nothing to do with Jews. Any royal in Igbo land claiming to be a Jew is a disgrace to himself, his people, and his ancestors.

Forget all that tribal talk.

I am not a tribal biggot like u.

I actually believe that us Igbo are ancient Hebrew people.

Many Igbo have since updated to Judaism.

I simply love Israel.

The dynamics of this world is deeper than just the surface.


Israel went to Ethipia to recover Ethiopian jews.


U have no idea the length they will go for their Hebrew people that keep the jewish faith.

Igbos do, they British came and met the establishment of Eze Eri which was religious.

Obi1kenobi:
No they can't cos they are not Igbo and will never be Igbo. Cure yourself of this inferiority complex. Be proud of your heritage and stop claiming one that has nothing to do with you. Your ancestors were never Jews. You are not a Jew. Your children will not be Jews.

So explain wat they are doing with Kanu?

Obi1kenobi:
Really? With which ships? Who charted the course? When did your ancestors tell you they made such a journey? Why do they have no Jewish artefacts? Why do they have no Jewish monuments? Why didn't they speak any Semitic language? Why are they genetically the same as Ibibios or Efiks, rather than looking like Semitic people? Why were they illiterate when Jews learnt to read and write thousands of years ago? Where are their Jewish temples? Why was their religion a polytheistic, pagan one instead of the Jewish religion?

Simply walk along the River bank, u will arrive in Egypt.

River Niger to River Benue and then the Nile River.

Obi1kenobi:
I can make any point out of this. We are Nigerians and Nigerian players represent us which is why we support the team. The Super Eagles are as representative of Nigeria as the flag, or coat of arms, or Nigerian army. Our supporting Nigeria has nothing to do with whether they are winning or losing. Even if Brazil thrashes us 10-0, we will still support Nigeria.



Sorry, but the analogy does not work. Jews didn't have to die in the Holocaust to feel the pain of it. During and after the Holocaust, the European Jewish population plummeted as many Jews fled, and the American Jewish population exploded. But the Holocaust is still their history because it happened to their people. They were born Jews. They were educated as Jews. They were named as Jews. They practised the Jewish faith. They were part of the Jewish community. There hardly exists an Ashkenazi Jewish family who were not affected by the Holocaust.
Igbos share no such history. Had missionaries not brought the Christian faith to us, we would not even know Jews exist and won't be babbling about being Jews.

Even if Jews descended from us, that doesn't make us Jewish either. Tens of thousands of years of separation cannot make you belong to a culture. Africa is the cradle of human civilization, so every race has African roots. That will never make a Ugandan a German, or make a Zulu a Japanese, or make an Efik a Chinese.

IGBO SUFFERED BIAFRA WAR AND SLAVERY.


THE JEWS TODAY CAN IDENTIFY WITH IGBO PLIGHT.


THEY ALSO CAN IEDNTIFY WITH IGBOS AS ANCIENT HEBREW.

Very early on Israel President recognised Biafra in a State Broadcast.

As i said, Nigeria is just buying time.

Obi1kenobi:
No they are not ancient Hebrew people. They're black ass niggas. Judaism is about 4,000 years old and there is zero evidence Igbos have seen the Sahara desert, talk more of the Mediterranean. There are zero artefacts, monuments, ancient literature, anything at all. Gullible people are "identifying with the promised land" because they feel no pride in their culture and heritage and aspire to be like Jews. That will never make Igbos Jewish.

U dont need to see the desert to arrive at Egypt from the east. start with River Niger and then River benue and continue to the Nile Rive, u will arrive at Egypt- Israel.

Obi1kenobi:
In your dreams. I can go on tour to Israel, wear a Kippa, and interact with any Jew and snap pictures. That will never make me a Jew. Israel does not give a damn about some West African niggas calling themselves Jews.

Go on their national television news.

Obi1kenobi:
Anybody can choose to follow the Jewish religion or worship Ifa or become a Hindu or whatever they like. Just stop claiming to be of Jewish ancestry. That is a different matter. That is a fraudulent claim with no basis in reality.

Can u persuade the state of Israel as to your claim with regards to the Igbo(Hebrew)?


U dey here they speak grammar, Israel have already embraced and claimed them as their own.

Israel have been going to Igbo land like mad of present, from business seminar to blood testing and various other things.

They are so close to whisk Kanu off at the drop of a hat.

They are not even hiding it.

This one that we are talking here is long story.

The State of Israel, know Igbo are ancient Hebrew and have since moved on to state creation of Biafra.

Nigeria is presently on borrowed time.

Israel want her brother State.

Abi u think they like to be alone ni?

Obi1kenobi:
Israel is a small country of just over 8 million people. World Jewish population is estimated at 12 million to 15 million. Igbos are around 40 million. Why not let Jews claim to be Igbo? Why Igbos claiming Jews?

And no, Israel's value system is not closer to us than Yorubas.

Igbo are Ancient Hebrew people.

The Igbo claiming Jews are those that have decided to practice Hebrew culture as a religion.

Ancient Hebrew predates Judaism

They are simply getting updated to Jews and identifying with the promise land.(Ancient City of David)

Is like our Igbo brother prefer islamisation from fulani to Judaism.

Did anybdoy force u to Judaism? No!

Islam is being positioned to take hold of Igbo land, in fact the middle belt are the ones holding islam off.

That is y Buhari want to finish them so he can get to Igbo.

If u guys prefer islam which i suspect some of u do, since u now answer muslim names in the north and claim muslim, then continue childish talk and one Nigeria and Presidency bullshit.

I dont know about u guys here but I certainly look forward to a Catholic and Jewish nation than Christian and Muslim one.

Igbo people are not going to change their language or name.

Igbo people are not going to change their religion but expect the Jewish amongst us to drastically increase.

Igbo will naturally go back to dat which better define them.

This is not about any Israel.

It is about a second Israeli state in Africa called Biafra.


It dont have to be big, in fact small is better.


Small but mighty.

Banmeallday:
People attach themselves to Super Eagles that have not gone any step further in 20 years internationally, even losing to countries that Aba is bigger than.

People attach themselves to Chelsea, wasting time analyzing the squad as if their papa owns the team.

People attach themselves to useless pastors, and apparently to Sai Baba crap and Atikulated crap....

Have you complained? Even the attachment to fake hair by almost all AFrican women now....

But as for the attachment to Israel, yes, that one is POSSIBLE and should not give you sleepless night. WHat if, that is, Israel or Hebrew people came from Igbo? What would you say about that? What if the value system is similar with them than with say FULANI or Yoruba?

Kanu never denounced or modified his name and prays in Igbo language, unlike many of the main stream Christians in the ZOO.....

Food for thought

The Igbo language itself has Ancient Hebrew words in it.

Kanu know that.

Obi1kenobi:
You're becoming more and more desperate. What the hell does a word that means "brother" have in common with market?

Actually, brother is descriptive for trade union.

Ahi association.

No straight translation, institutional level research required.

Ahi Ancient Hebrew Ahia Igbo
The passage defined Ahi as u earlier claimed to mean brother but went further to explain that Ahi comes from Aki which means generous.

The article expanciate that Ahi became the major economic, social and cultural system.

Some sort of Trade Union with regulation on who should be accepted for membership.

Adding that, the Ahi way of thinking flourished amongst the artisan, Each Trade had its own Ahi Association.

In smaller towns they would either organise in groups of trades or all the trades would organise under the association.

The history of the Jews in Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye Yahudileri, Turkish Jews; Hebrew: יהודים טורקים‬ Yehudim Turkim, Ladino: Djudios Turkos) covers the 2,400 years that Jews have lived in what is now Turkey. There have been Jewish communities in Asia Minor since at least the 5th century BCE and many Spanish and Portuguese Jews expelled from Spain were welcomed into the Ottoman Empire (including regions part of modern Turkey) in the late 15th century, 20 centuries later, forming the bulk of the Ottoman Jews.

Today, the vast majority of Turkish Jews live in Israel, while modern-day Turkey continues to host a modest Jewish population

Obi1kenobi:
Then link the ancient Hebrew dictionary here, let us see. I won't simply take your word for it. Hebrew for starters for several centuries was a dead language which was revived by Zionists as the modern Israel was being founded. Jews in Europe spoke Yiddish. Link the ancient Hebrew dictionary here.

Today, wen u research Ubal in Hebrew it will tell u multiple streams.


Actually, multiple stream is a variant for multiple sources and translate to wealth. (Uba)

[s]

Obi1kenobi:
Truth hurts, but that is the reality. A lot of Igbos with this attache-by-force mentality to Israel do so because the link flatters their egos. To be descended from the "chosen people" with a glorious heritage. We have to purge ourselves of this toxic illness. It has become to widespread.

[/s]



The Hebrew word for rich is 'ashar and as ... Now let me give you the ancient Semitic definition of rich, “


Ubal and its igbo variation is Uba.

Obi1kenobi:
About the only correct thing you wrote. And it is stretching it to say Anya and Ayin are remotely similar.

There are many more, even from the words u have already discarded.

Ancient Hebrew not Hebrew.

Ancient English is different from English today.

Many Igbo words will sound similar to ancient Hebrew and share meaning.

Obi1kenobi:
Using a Hebrew dictionary, I checked Ada - false. I checked Agu - false. I checked Ahia - false. Everything there is a falsehood. Anybody that knows anything about linguistics knows it is impossible for 2 entirely seperately evolved languages to have commonalities. There is such a thing as language family. Igbo is a Niger-Congo language. Hebrew is a Semitic one. They are about as likely to have common vocabulary as a tiger can have cubs with a cow. Wherever you copied that from, the person that wrote it is a fraud and charlatan.

Try Ancient Hebrew.


U need to conduct institutional level research not basic.


We are going back over 2000 years of history and people.


If Ika and Ikwere Igbo can be so different from Igbo, then dont expect the present Igbo to reveal itself to u as Hebrew precisely.

That is impossible.

ezeagu:
Igbo is also an andmixture of French, moi and muwa mean the same thing (me), beaucoup and bukwu (many) mean the same thing. Igbo people are a Hebrew-French bastard.

I am so busy right now and will oblige u wen i have time and not too tired.

I believe, i came with evidence for wat i posted not this your beer parlor talk.

Anyway, good night bro.

ezeagu:
Lol, what's your point. I'm simply asking why Gad has disappeared as a name among Igbo people.

Gad and God are too close.

I am sure, we have had Igbo people with the name Gad before the British arrived.

ezeagu:
That means your are naive and ignorant about Israel. There is a hierarchy in Israel. It's pointless to give details, because you're convinced white Israeli's care about random black Africans.

Igbo people are not going to live in Israel.

Yes Igbo language is an admixture of Ancient Hebrew, the evidence is there.

Our culture and indeed origin all point to Hebrew. Even our name Igbo sound like Hebrew.

All we want is to build road and airport, wen we want and to our taste, without drama and opposition from Yoruba and Hausa, in our land.
