You obviously don't know who the Jews are, and I don't have the time to lecture you now

Keep running round circle believing it will eventually take you to your destination.

A descendant of Eri son of Gad is saying he is not an Israeli or a Jew so who is?

Interesting, I love the bolded word coincidence.

When u study the relationship between Igbo and Ancient Hebrew that is exactly what u will keep finding, Coincidence are numerous.


I am very optimistic about the capacity and potential for Igboland to develop without Hausa and Yorubas.

That is not to say it cannot develop with Hausa and Yorubas either.


I 'm also more interested in creating an eco-system that will allow the Global Jews to visit Igboland as tourism, bring development and employment than Igbos immigrants running to tiny Israel.


That is not to say, Igbo Jews wont be in Isarel, but it shoudn't be illegal or jakpa, rather official to study, work or marriage. etc

We can actually maintain good relationship with mutual benefits with Israel without falsely claiming to be them.
The Israelis do not build relatioonship based on emotions but rather based on their national interest.

OfoIgbo:


It is Jews that have a right of return.

This makes sense especially as Jews did not have any homeland they could call theirs prior to the 1948 creation of modern Israel.

Igbos are not under such a pressure as we have Igboland which we own completely.

However, as descendants of Abraham Isaac and Jacob, Igbos also have a claim on Israel, and a few may assert that right, if they feel Nigeria is in an irredeemable mess

You keep contradicting yourself..ain't you a lost tribe of Israel anymore?
Aint you descendants of Eri son of Gad again?
Stay one place Abeg. The Gad you claim through Eri is one of the tribes of Israel.
Gad is one of sons of Jacob and Jacob is Israel.
You guys are only making noise on social media lying shamelessly including your kings tufiakwa.

OfoIgbo:


Being a descendant of ancient Israelites doesn't automatically make you an Israeli citizen, but with this ruling an Igbo person can pursue Israeli citizenship.

The Rabbinical court has already made it clear that Igbos and Jews can intermarry without any encumbrances, as we are relatives from the same ancestors.

Please do not consume rat poison tonight. Postpone such activities till tomorrow

It is a lie every Hebrew have right of return to Israel but not identity thieves like you

hammer567:



I already knew u were Igbo, just playing along.

Do u know Abia is an Ancient Hebrew word?

Abia maybe found in English Bible but Abia state is a coined word from the 4 major towns that made up the newly created state which are Aba, Bende, Isuikwuato and Afrikpo.
Any resemblance with any word in the Bible is a coincidence. You can Google how the name Abia came about from the founding fathers of the state.

OfoIgbo:


Illiterates everywhere.

The Rabbinical court was set up by a Sephardic Jewish international organisation with affiliate organisations in Europe, Israel, USA e.t.c
The Rabbis and Dayanim that made this ruling are based in several countries including Israel and the US.

And it may be painful for you to also note that any ruling by any Jewish Rabbinical court cannot be upturned by any other Jewish Rabbinical court
And this ruling is now a part of the Jewish/Israeli law, as a Jewish state

You don't see Umu Nri people running around trying to attach to the Jews. It is the fraudster in Aguleri that adopted the name Chukwuemeka ERI, various decades after his birth, that has been trying to do that with the hope of being seen as the original source for Igbos.

Even the Jewish Rabbinical ruling only acknowledged the Levitical Nris who have never sought any authentication by any group, so I imagine how Chukwuemeka Eri must be feeling right now.

Meanwhile let us not loose focus of the fact that this ruling by this Jewish Rabbinical court is a major source of jealousy by people like you.

Igbos are Israelites. In fact, no Israelite group in the world today, can claim to be more authentically Israelite than the Igbos. Now this is a major fact

But they claimed Nri is son of Eri. Lol
Both Eri and Nri are both fraudulently making false claims of their origin and impotance in Igboland.

And stop being jealous because Jews are desperately seeking to attach to the great Igbo race.

Delusional as usual.Keep contradicting yourselves.The people who champion this phantom Igbo/Hebrew relationship are usually brain washed Biafra agitators.Tell me one prominent Igbo man who goes about celebrating non existing kinship with Israel.
Your last sentence is in the opposite.It is rather some misguided Anambra Jew wannabes trying desperately to attach themselves to the Israelis.
Go to any Igbo reputable group like SE governors forum,Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo,SE traditional council of Ndi Eze etc and tell them they Jews and Eri of Igala origin is the father of all Igbo and see what happens.

Where did igbo migrate from is the question?

Igbos are aboriginals of Igbo land. The original Igbo people were created in Igbo land as their was no trace both in oral story or in songs left by our ancestors that they came from anywhere else.
No trace of Hebrew in our names and language, food, music, dance, marriage and the names of our villages etc....
If the jew migrants founded Igbo land the names of our villages today would have bear their names.

Jewish Rabbinate rules Igbos are Israelites


Published Feb 16, 2022
+ Follow
On the 14th day of January 2022 [12 Shebat 5782], the Jewish Rabbinate of the Obadya Alliance [Dayan Jacob de Oliveira, Dayan Eliezer Tabor, Dayan Yehonatan Elazar-DeMota, Rabbi Hananiah Cohen, and Rabbi Haim Ovadia] ruled that the Igbos of Nigeria are descendants of ancient Israelites. According to the Rabbinate, “the presence of Israelites along the Niger River had been known by Jewish authorities in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Lithuania, and Suriname. Rabbinic letters addressed to the Igbos by Chief rabbis: Dr. Solomon Hershel Lewin, David Meldola, and the Gaon of Vilna (Elijan Zalman), support the idea that there was contact between European Jewish communities and Igbo Israelites. All of the correspondence from the aforementioned rabbinic authorities address the Igbos as “brethren of the Children of Israel.” Accordingly, there is no doubt of their origins, nor of their halakhic status as Israelites.”

According to the Rabbinate, while there is yet an exhaustive academic genetic study of the Igbos, the data of the majority of those who have reported their autosomal and y-chromosome DNA, supports that their ancestors migrated from the Levant Basin, sharing genetic links with Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jews alike. The Rabbinate noted the fact that rabbinic authorities during the Songhai Empires were aware of Israelites in Igboland, which leads to the logical conclusion that they treated Igbos as Israelites.

The final conclusion of the Obadya Alliance Rabbinate was that “Igbos are to be treated as Israelites, in every sense of the word, and also their priestly and Levite lineages should be upheld as valid.” The Rabbinate advised that upon the return of the Igbos to Omenana (what you do in the Land), they should be circumcised [if they hadn’t performed it already], say the sheheḥeyánu afterwards, and partake in the kola nut ceremony with their brethren, as is customary among Igbos.

https://www.facebook.com/maduewesi/videos/10156803565625909

My personal joy with this ruling is the attention it may draw, which may also trigger more scholars to do more research about Igbos, what the Igbos offered the world in the past, what they are offering the world now, and what they would offer the world in the future. As democracy is under assault, the Igbos are democratic to the core and stand out as the most culturally democratic ethnic entity globally. The world may have a look at the Igbo traditional system of government, which has survived despite many years of British rule and Nigeria’s deliberate marginalization.

It is interesting that the Obadya Rabbinate addressed Igbos as Israelites, not as Jews. They also affirmed Omenana (what you do in the Land) as the authentic original religion of the children of Israel. Dr. James Horton Africanus Beal had, in his 1868 book, West African Countries and Peoples, British and Native: And a Vindication of the African Race, described Igbo religion as Judaism mixed with pagan practices. In another book, The story of the Niger: A record of travel and adventure from the days of Mungo Park to the present time, Published 1888, author Robert Richardson observed, "The religion of the natives is almost pure idolatry; but some slight traces of Judaism may be discovered in it - a circumstance which seems to indicate that some stray wanderers of the Hebrew race must long ago have found their way to these regions, and in the gradual course of time become assimilated to the natives both in appearance and customs, leavening the races around them, however, with a few of their own ideas."

With this validation of Omenana as Israelite religion, Jewish and Igbo scholars should come together to fill in the gaps created by years of exile between Omenana in Africa, and Judaism in Europe. With Omenana poised to go mainstream, this learning process between Jews and Igbos would be invaluable for both groups, as they compare notes, as there could well be traces of Christianity in both modern Judaism and modern Omenana.

The Igbo Osu practice (Nethinim), which is rooted in Omenana has been both obdurate and pertinacious to modern Igbo society. These were temple servitors known from the books of Ezra, Nehemiah, and Chronicles. Scholars are divided as to whether they were actually slaves or property of the Temple. While Ezra 8:20 says that they had been set apart by David “to attend the Levites,” 1Chronicles 9:1-2 describes them simply as servitors like the Levites. To the Igbo, Nethinim or Osu are a "caste" that should not intermarry with free-born Igbo. Unfortunately, despite 200 years of Christianity in Igboland, with the creed “There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:28), the Osu still suffer discrimination.

In Talmudic times the Nethinim were put on a level with bastards, and their descendants, male and female, were interdicted from marriage with Israelites for all time (Yeb. ii. 4, viii. 3); this is said to have been established by David (Yeb. 78b) or by Ezra (Num. R. viii.). Nethinim were allowed to marry only proselytes, freedmen, bastards, and foundlings (Ḳid. viii. 3). In tables of precedence they are reckoned very low, coming after bastards in Yer. Hor. iii. 5 and Yer. Yeb., viii. 5. The Igbos may learn how to solve the Osu problem from the Jews. Since Christianity did not solve this problem, maybe Judaism will.

For someone who has worked on this subject for decades, digesting this ruling and its ground-shattering significance would be like peeling the multiple layers of an onion, with tears in your eyes. The most significant, in my opinion, is that the genocide against the Igbos between 1968 and 1970 would now be addressed as genocide against Israelites, highlighting the shared destiny of both Jews and Igbos as descendants of one father, Jacob, whom God renamed Israel.

The Igbos have suffered more genocide, perennial massacres, ethnic cleansing, discrimination, and marginalization in Nigeria. Igbos are perceived as a market-dominant minority, a resented “outsider” ethnic group. In a White House memo dated Tuesday, January 28, 1969, to President Nixon, former Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger described the Igbos as “the wandering Jews of West Africa, gifted, aggressive, westernized, at best envied and resented, but mostly despised by their neighbors in the federation.” Just as the world was called upon to answer the Jewish Question, the world has neglected to even entertain the Igbo Question. My hope is that this ruling may draw global attention thereto.

The ruling was signed by Dr. Dayan Yehonatan Elazar-DeMota, who has a Master’s degree in Anthropology and Religious Studies from Florida International University, and a PhD in International Law from the University of Amsterdam.

You may find the original copy of the ruling here - Obadyah: Igbos Are Israelites



Yeah I'm pretty much convinced

Yeah the so called descendants are over 40 million people world wide while Israel we descended from are merely 15mln people only.
How did it happen? It means Igbos are a very ancient tribe way older than Jewish people.
No tribe can multiple in 10s of million in just 3 to 4 thousands years. Ndi Igbo bu ndi ochie ndi okpu na ndi gboo.
The Jew wannabes in Igboland should go back to middle east to possess their possesion.
