Just 34 Ezes in over 3000years, btw what's ur source for this list?

TheBlue5:
I was reading the CNN news article, that the Igbo could be the lost tribe of Gad.

Wait, wait, 'Could be' you mean they are!?"

Now one of the reporters says that "they lack evidence". Well let me show you evidence!

Argument#1: "The Igbo people started calling themselves Jews in the 18th century, so it's a new theory that they cannot be Jews!"

Well, bible scholars started calling Jesus a Jew in the 18th century as well. In fact the word 'jew' started in the 18th century. Does that mean that Jesus & the Jews in Israel are not Jews? Absolutely Not! In fact the Igbo people use to call themselves Hebrews and not Jews before the 'white' people came, even the slave owners did. The slave owners had a sign they put up that said "Fine...the Heeboes"

Argument# 2: "The Igbo name for 'Eri' does not sound like the Hebrew name for 'Eri'"

Umm haha you do know that the Igbo language and hebrew language are two different languages right? Of course they're not going to sound the same!

Argument#3: "they lack evidence"

HMM

• Evidence # 1:

"Paleo-Hebrew Script has been found in various places in the Igbo Territories of Nigeria."


Paleo-hebrew is Ancient Hebrew language if the Igbo people are not Israelites then how did they get their hands on Paleo-Hebrew Script?

Not convincing? Here is more!

• Evidence #2:

"Drawings like unto the Mogen David, Star of David have been found in various places of Igboland prior to missionary arrival to Nigeria."

If the Igbo are not Israelites then how did they get not one but MANY stars of David in their hands?

Still need some more?

• Evidence #3:

“One scholar who visited Iboland, saw a swastika there and questioned how the Ebos/Hebrews could have this symbol and be Jewish. Sar Amariel answered the question stating, ‘This is an ancient Hebrew symbol that represents the sun…’” – Document: Tabernacle Congregation Prayer Yeshiva to HRM A.E. Chukwuemeka-Eri (Ezerora 34th and KAK Ji Ofor Igbo) King of the Igbos


And indeed swastikas have been found on the reliefs of ancient synagogues in Israel. No wonder the Nazis adopted this symbol to imply they were like the sun and greater that the Star of David."

Need EVEN MORE EVIDENCE?!?!

• Evidence #4 (my favorite):

The Stone Throne at Obu-Gad with the Paleo-Hebrew Inscription at the foot of the throne as well as the onyx stone. It is interesting to note that the stone representing Gad (as well as the other Tribes) in the Priestly shoulder stones was made of onyx, which is black (Ex. 39:6-7). In December 1997 a onyx stone found at the palace of Obu-Gad, the traditional site where Gad’s son Eri settled was found an onyx stone that bore the Paleo-Hebrew inscription “GAD” upon it which the King Solomon Sephardic Federation confirmed the authenticity of the inscription.

This stone throne is reminiscent of Gad’s memorial altar in Joshua chapter 22 in which they did not sacrifice upon but …

In time to come your children might speak unto our children, saying, What have ye to do with the Lord God of Israel? For the Lord hath made Jordan a border between us and you, ye children of Reuben and children of Gad; ye have no part in the Lord: so shall your children make our children cease from fearing the Lord. Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice: But that it may be a witness between us, and you, and our generations after us, that we might do the service of the Lord before him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings; that your children may not say to our children in time to come, Ye have no part in the Lord. Therefore said we, that it shall be, when they should so say to us or to our generations in time to come, that we may say again, Behold the pattern of the altar of the Lord, which our fathers made, not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifices; but it is a witness between us and you. – Josh. 22:24b-28

Conclusion: The fact that the word 'Gad' was written in PALEO-HEBREW and not any other language must mean one thing: The biblical Gad and the Igbo 'Gad' are the same people, because this would mean that the word 'Gad' on the onyx stone has the same meaning of the biblical Gad which means "A troop" since both are written in Hebrew.

Now tell me if the Igbo people are not Israelites then how did they get the Paleo-Hebrew script, the Gad onyx stone, and the stars of David!?!?

Need more evidence? Hmm can I slap you? Anyways Here!

• Evidence #5:

In 1917 the British discovered, about 500 feet below the soil on the palace grounds a solid bronze Star of David indicating the Igbo people may have migrated from the ancient city of David. To commemorate this event, Nigerian kobo coins were minted with a Star of David on it.

Hmm if the Igbo are not Israelites then why do the Nigerian kobo coins have the Star of David on them?!?!

• Evidence #6:

Between 1938-1959 Archeologists led by Thurston Shaw at an Igbo-Ukwu excavation near Oaeri town unearthed what is believed to be a mask portraying an Igbo face. Also unearthed were bronze items, pots, bowls, etc., including a pot believed to be used in the coronation of Igbo Kings. Also found were bronze intricate beads that reflected wealth and artistic skill as well as attests to international trade by ancient Igbos. Some archeological dating tests suggest Igbos have occupied Nigeria as early as 3,000 BCE. Radio carbon dating of the objects suggests that Igbos occupied Nigeria before 800 CE. Much of the items found in this excavation seem to have a modified Egyptian design and or influence which would make since seeing as the first Igbo are said to have come from Egypt in the Pre-Exodus-Exodus.

Hmm! Who else came from Egypt other then the Igbo people? Oh yeah! The Israelites! And also apparently the Igbo people were not always in Nigeria since carbon dating says other wise! So, this would debunk the theory that the Igbo were always in Nigeria. Oh and here is another Argument: "The Igbo are a pre-adaminic race"

If you believe that then I suggest that you at least rip off a bunch of pages from your bible mostly from the book of genesis. No one! I mean No one is pre-ADAM God destroyed EVERYTHING and EVERYONE except for Noah and his family and the animals Noah saved! Last time I check Igbo people are humans! And all mordern day humans came from Noah! And Noah came from Adam, there is no such thing as a 'pre-Adam', Adam was the first man, the first human, Eve was the first woman, the SECOND human.

Rubbish

LAX89:
Lagos is a land for ANYONE that has money to buy land! All these alaye and omo n'oba touts that lay claim to Lagos, how much land/property do they own in Lagos? How much tax do they pay to run Lagos state government? They live in the 18th century, while life passes them by. The Igbo man came to Lagos, Saw and Conquered! Now they own more than half of Lagos, which is why they can win Federal elections in Lagos. The so-called Lagosians are now working as houseboy, gateman, driver, sales girl/boy, cleaner, cook etc. for the Igbo man, so maybe the Yoruba's should get on their collective knees and thank/worship the Igbos.

TheBlue5:
No one really knows, like I did not know that I came from Africa, you had to ask or do some research, besides some rabbi says they're some people that don't even know they're Israelites. And I'm not meaning that your DNA goes straight to Israel, because only the tribe of Judah & Levi can be identified by DNA but the tribe of Gad however. The 10 tribes now can only be identified now with archeologist evidence,culture evidence, historic evidence, reasoning, logic and Parrellel history. And the fact that at the palace of OBU-Gad the stone throne of Gad has a Paleo-Hebrew writing saying "this throne is for my father Gad" said to be built by Eri, and the onyx stone that has 'Gad' in Paleo-Hebrew is giving a good history on we you guys came from, because I'm 100% sure no one knows we're you guys came from like you people just pop out of no where. Here is the Igbo King lineage, I'm sure you know about it, it starts with Eri. Eri

You guys were here way before Jesus.

Ihuomadinihu:
Can you explain what a non negriod dna is? How do we identify them? Are you are aware that blacks in india and australia are negriod but have non negriod dna?
I guess you are Yoruba. But y'all seem to forget that ancestors of Yoruba and Igbos branched out of the same dna. As you curse Igbos,you are only cursing your ancestors and source of origin.

plaetton:
Perhaps you need to reread my post to understand what I wrote and the simple lesson in biology I am trying to get across.

I am bona fide Igbo.
I am cursing all morons, retards and science-illiterates whether Igbo or non-igbo, who perpetrate this gross St.u.pi.dity of referring to the Igbos of Nigeria as decendants of non - black races.

Let me explain it again in simpler language.
A black human being did not, could not ever descend from a non - black human being.

Is that simple enough for you?

This is simple biology, not my personal opinion.

urNIGHTMARE:
My question to you envious tribe is, what if Igbos are truly the lost tribe of Isreal. If I were in ur shoes I would employ common critical or rational thinking. Some of you call your miserable selves "christians", you are no strangers to what God says in the Bible concerning people who hate his chosen people. He says that he that blesses you I will bless, but he that curses you I WILL CURSE.That was and still remains the promise God made to Jacob(Israel). I'm not here to claim Jews or whatever, but my question remains WHAT IF IGBOS ARE TRULY JEWS ? That means you people have already secured for yourselves not only curses from God here on earth but various department in hell fire, including your oba.

whitecat2:
Lorrdddd!

Here we go againnnn!!

Inferiority complex is a terrible thing!!

k2kay:
If u think it's strange, try the sumerian king list where eight kings ruled for 241,200 years...still puzzles historians till date.

Ihuomadinihu:
The simple biology here is not about what you think. You might want to open up your eyes and read! Nobody is claiming that Igbos are Jews apart from one or two people here. The simple biology is that the ancestors of Igbos share their dna with ancestors of jews! Pls read my earlier posts.

soldierdollar:
Eewww! God when will you remove hatred from our hearts ?
When shall Igbos and Yoruba dine without suspicion ?
When shall we see ourselves as friends not enemies.

In south Africa, whites discriminate against blacks .
In Nigeria, blacks discriminate against blacks .
This hatred has no substance

You are very stuupid to add Yoruba people into your madness.
Shameless dogs like you should be packaged and sent to Israel to fight for his father land..as that is what you believe by faith

plaetton:
All humans share similar dna, since we all came from a single mother in central Africa. This is fact.

If you think that Igbo and jews share particular dna traits, then kindly answer the following questions.
1. Kindly show me any scientific study of dna done to show any peculiar genetic traits.
2. Btw, who is actually a jew?
3. Are you even aware that biblical jews and Arabs are the same semitic race?
4. Why are Africans ashamed of their historical, cultural and genetic heritage.?

It is crap like these that make Africans bleach their skins, and spend billions on the importation of germicidal soaps, because, they have been brainfxxked to accept that they need germicidal soaps to clean and bleach their bodies.

macof:
Why Sumeria?? A civilization that was lost before people knew about it and started studying it's remains?
We can assume the list is incomplete or inaccurate

But am curious you think Aguleri had only 34ezes in 3000 years?

Ihuomadinihu:
There are extensive researches on genetic origins. Use your common sense and study the E haplogroup and L mtdna group.

@ OP, I am igbo, not a jew.
Igbo existed long before the jews. Pls u people should stop this madness.
Abraham was from an arab community b4 God called him to start the jewish race.
Most arabs migrated from Africa.

Africa is the cradle of Man.

Pls stop this crazy history burn out of inferiority complex.

It's all over the net. Better still,google Igbo dna and its sister dnas.

plaetton:
With all due respect sister, this is quite silly.
You are here making an argument from facts that you cannot quote?
You want me to search the internet to find facts supporting your own claims?
Seriously

Can you at least tell me which scientists or research institutes conducted this research?

Surely, the least you can do is to provide us with a link, any link.

Or do you think that the best use of my common sense would be to just believe you?

Ihuomadinihu:
You are only being sentimental!
People are talking about the similar dna in Souther Nigeria and you only feel we are making a jest of Yoruba people. My goodness! Maybe the evil i committed was to mention the slight eurasia genes? Am sure you were not aware of that? Make reasonable contributions whenever you want to post your comments.
Why don't you google and make your own research. The people that discovered it also pointed to a northern gene flow from Chadic/fulani regions and it's more of a Neanderthal gene. I thought you would be interested in your proto yoruba origins,alas,you are more interested in what i spent hours to research. This thread was not opened to spite yoruba people.

You can make your own conclusions,everything i have posted is in line with academic findings done conducted by people that matter.
If you are reasonable,you would join me to conduct further researches on the E haplogroup and the origin of Niger congo languages. Nobody cares if you are yoruba or not and i don't expect you to drop tribalistic comments henceforth!

absoluteSuccess:
I remember my first encounter with Gani Adams 2003 at NTA, Tejuosho. We were discussing Yoruba history with him, he said young man, I must commend your effort, a lot of people sit at the comfort of their home to conduct research they often assume as out of this world.

Remove the 'hours' you spent researching my history from the year I have spent being involve in my history. Now has your hour led you to the eureka!

I am not a subject of your science.

plaetton:
Vomiting!

When will these self-deprecating morons stop this nauseating insult on the Igbo people of Nigeria?

The last time I checked, Igbo people are bona fide Negroids, in the truest sense of the world.

Anyone, even a slightly educated slowpoke, should by now understand that a non-negroid DNA cannot, could not, and did not ever mutate to a Negroid DNA.

A 100% Negroid person or race, such as the Igbo s or any other Negroid Race in Africa, did not, and could not ever have been genetic spin-offs from a Non-Negroid race.

Folks, This is simple biology that any and every secondary school graduate should already know.

Pls pls folks, it's time to cease and desist from this grossly ignorant, grossly nauseating, and grossly self-deprecating assault on our sense of identity.

These useless mindfxxks we call religions, from the middle east, have really done irrepairable fxckjobs on us.

Which right thinking Africans wants the middle fxxking east as his place of origin.?

Human life started in Africa, you badly educated morons.
