How Exactly Did Judaism Enter Igboland? by Brek(op): 8:09pm On Mar 10, 2023
As far as I'm concerned is that igbos practiced Judaism before colonialsation came
I'm pretty sure that igbos weren't mentioned in the Jewish holy book (I'm not Jewish) or the bible.
There were no such Jewish"owner" slaves around that era because Jews were scattered by that time. So how did Judaism enter igboland?

If they weren't Jewish then how did Judaism came there in the first place?
You can't say "internet" because it was largely in use by the early 21st century
DNA also has also been proven wrong

Check your Bible Abia and ASA were mentioned as the descendants when tracking Jesus descendants.

The word ABIA as state is an acronym for the four areas that made up that state. I’ve forgotten the full meaning.

Same goes for Bayelsa. BA (BRASS), YE (YENEGOA & SA (SAGBAMA)

Prior to any colonial contact their is no known proof of judaism as a religion in igboland. the modern assertion of igbo's being a jewish tribe is misattributed from a quote of Olaudah Equiano, who made a comparison but never asserted equivalence.

so when
Olaudah Equiano said they were performing Jewish practises with exact proofs was he lying?
Why is it that Ethiopia and igbo want Israel to accept them as Jews not somewhere else in the country?
Do you see Americans Europeans Asians and Oceanias wanting to be Jews?
The answer is an exact no

If it was just a "comparison" then what religion was that then?

equiano never said we were conducting jewish practices, where is this coming from? and you do know cultures can share similar practices yet not have anything to do with them.

As for the ethiopians they do have evidence of jewish migration to their place that isnt vague quotes from the bible.

No sensible igbo person that knows of their history is claiming to be jewish, emphasize on sensible.

as for when people even misguidedly picked up judaism, its likely in the 20th century, maybe even the late 19th century. that is when the existence of christianity or even the jews was made known to my ancestors. anyone claiming to be jewish is ignorant of their proud history and clinges to a hebrew myth to cope for their lack of self esteem.

igbo precolonial society was highly spiritual, it still is in a way, but warped by colonialism and christianity.
he wasnt refering to any religion just to the organised and spiritual mannerism in which our society was orchestrated

His qoute reads as;
"the strong analogy which ... appears to prevail in the manners and customs of my countrymen and those of the Jews, before they reached the Land of Promise, and particularly the patriarchs while they were yet in that pastoral state which is described in Genesis—an analogy, which alone would induce me to think that the one people had sprung from the other.[8]"

There are many similarities between Igbo and Jewish cultures which the first colonial Europeans observed in their expeditions in Nigeria. Nixon in his classified memo to the white House described Igbo as the wandering Jew of west Africa.Researches are on going on these assertions. Another aspect is the phenomenal successes of Igbo after the war, these are a people who started afresh from zero level in 1970 but today they are not only the richest tribe in Africa/Nigeria but also the most educated in Nigeria since late 1990's.

But other countries don't came to be Jewish but why only igbo?
Igbos didn't colonnize or its sphere of influence didn't reach anywhere need Jerusalem
There weren't even any Jewish slave in igboland

Their are other instances of people simply claiming to be jewish despite not being remotely related, its not an uncommon phenomenon.
