Innocent question please to my so called south south people.


what is Niger delta, what commonalities does an urhobo, a benin or an itshekiri have with an ibibio, ikwerre, efik or even ogoni over an igbo man, who is not only a direct neighbour but shares cultural similarities... For the records, Abiriba people in Abia state today are a mixture of Ibibio and igbos.Also to note Aro-Ndizuogu in Imo state, Aro-Chukwu in Abia state, Aro-Ikot ekpene in Akwa ibom and Aro-Echie in river state are of the same descendant of the biblical Aroli(younger brother to Eri in Anambra state) who are all the children of Gad who is also the first son of Jacob, that is why you see Arochukwu people and ikot ekpene people wear the same dress and their men tie wrapper. igbos and efiks shared the Nsibiri writings, the ekpo festival in some parts of igbo land originated from the efiks, the igbos,ijaws and ibibios all worship Amadioha and were always going for pilgrimage in Arochuwku all before the white man came and all through our history, there has never been a case of enslavement or fighting rather we traded with our neighbors, lived peacefully and intermarried ourselves. I want someone to tell me something similar that had happened like that in the so called identity crisis suffering Niger delta....An ibibio man jumped over the whole of igboland in southeast all the way down to benin, itshekiri,urhrobo and became Niger delta and one people..yeye dey smell.... I need answers

Good write up but point of correction,Aro people have nothing to do with ERI/NRI and Gad.Aro people are proud of their Igbo heritage and never for once claimed to have come from Israel.Nri people should stop attaching Aro and Abia people as a whole to their Jewsih claim because its nothing but falsehood.

Do you have any historical proof to support what you have said?

Is up to Nri Jewish claimers to provide archaeological and historical proof that they came from Israel and not some silly similarities in our cultures.
There is always some similarities in all human cultures.Stop claiming Jewish origin on be half of all of us.
Last year, DNA test was carried out in Anambra state, out of hundreds of people tested none came out to be a Jew and you are still looking for proof.
