In view of the above, are there any materials evidence to support the claims that Igbo's are the Jews?
Again, why are many Igbo's embraced Christianity more than any other tribes in the world.
Which shows them far from what was claimed as Jews,.
And above all, if what they claimed was right and just, why have it been difficult for the Jewish-isreal to come to their aid,when ever they are in difficulty, of any kind?
Because,,, brothers helps brothers.

Was it the igbos that wrote the recommended report?
Was it the igbos that sent delegations in 1840 to investigate the igbos?
Was it the igbos that forced the Israeli government to form a committee for igbos and other Jews in diaspora?

Lastly why are you mad at the report and making use of the boded phrase? because i'm trying to understand how they are attaching themselves by force even when it is clear this committee was formed by the Israeli government?

If i may ask again....

why're you angry, jealous, Envious and Frustrated or is it that you just don't see anything good in igbos (even if in this particular case there is nothing to gain from it other than unwarranted attacks from hardcore Islamist since they have Jewish heritage)?

i'm amazed and @ the same time angry that everything igbo always get derailed by some yoruba nairalanders, it is sickening!!!

Roger3D:
No problem. Just make an attempt to visit Israel, body go tell you

They are not jew, they are no where near.
Does jews/isreal eat that soup they eat ofe wetin.
Do they eat human flesh?
Do they drink corpse water?
Do they do ritual?
Do dey abuse? So many like that.

The jews and the igbos share the same hatred for Islamic fundamentalism, aside from both being technologically Inclined groups with an uncommon desire for trade and business.

I have now educated you.

wafersoc:
it is obvious there is a hate-fueled rivalry and a desire to make sure that the igbos do worse than they do. Meaning if they achieve this, they must achieve something else just to match up with the igbos, which is Good, but when healthy rivalry starts becoming a war to put an ethnic group down for fears of domination, then do you expect the new generation igbos to keep quiet and condone such?

Whenever igbos talk of their achievements, they're always accused of "chest-beating". but it is okay for others to constantly talk and marginalize the igbos and also tag them the problems of Nigeria.

Some Yorubas, not all but most, don't want the igbos to go out of fear that they might turn out greater than oduduwa forgetting that the yorubas are one of the most dynamic ethnic groups in africa. So what exactly is the issue?

Most of the thread, topics, articles, automated voice videos to refute phillip emeagwali's achievements are mostly done by yoruba nairalanders/SM even after bill clinton praised his achievements in USA.

WHY THE HATE AND FAKE LOVE?
WHY!!!
Will Nigeria continue holding this people back for fear of domination when other countries are making technological strides?

I'm sick of this UNITY...it is too fake!

If you want to be igbophobic, at least have an education and get a good grasp of International politics and trade.

That way I will have something to work with.

They can only bring igbos down in Nigeria but definitely not in the world

That's why they want Nigeria to continue where Igbos are grossly marginalized to continue to drag foot with them. Despite all the marginalization, Igbos still beat them in everything. Now imagine if we had our own country? Awolowo through free education gave them false illusion they are achievers or genuine competitors to the Igbos. If you look at when Yorubas led in Education, Banking and all other fields in Nigeria, it was right after the war and up until 90s when Igbos and most of SS were seriously damaged by the war and their money confiscated or expropriated by Awolowo, which he used to fund Yoruba scholarships and PLC; what a criminal evil man I must say! But as soon as Igbos and all others in SS recovered from the war in the early 2000s, they have since moved ahead of the Yorubas by a large margin. An evidence that they had no real competitors from 1970 to 1990s. Go and look at education today, Igbos lead by a large margin, just as it was before the war and right after the white colonial masters left. Coincidence? No, it's a pattern. After Igbos today, it's SS, largely Edo and others. Even some Northern states are ahead of them by last 3 WAEC results and JAMB. What about Banking? Igbos have taken it over. Technology? Igbos. Manufacturing? Igbos. Sports? Igbos, followed by SS. Shipping and forwarding? Igbos. Movies and Nollywood? Igbos. Pharmaceutical and Medicine? Igbos. Trade and Commerce? Igbos. So that goes for many vital fields. Only what Yoruba control is media, but that's changing as we now have the age of internet. Yoruba as a people are finished, and they know it. So rather for Igbos to go and build a vibrant country that will be the envy of the world, they want to pull them down in one Nigeria, and continue to enjoy the blanket blame that Nigerians can't help themselves when in fact they know that Igbos can help this country.

There is an ongoing Government research on the Jewish diasporas that will bring israel and her diaspora closer. i read this >>> Report of the Public Advisory Committee for Examining Israel’s Approach Regarding Worldwide Communities with Affinity to the Jewish People on the isreali Ministry of disaporan affairs government's website.

http://www.mda.gov.il/antisemitism/documents/eng200818.pdf

The igbos are considered by the Israelis as the major Jewish group in Africa. but because of certain hurdles and the fear of them being major targets in Nigeria, research has been done at a slow pace albeit being the most researched African Jewish group.

Excerpts below.

In recent years, there has been a growing awakening of various groups with affinity to the Jewish people or to Israel, even though they are neither Jews, nor are they entitled to the Law of Return. This is a fascinating trend with strategic potential for the Jewish people and the State of Israel, since these are tens of millions of people who can constitute circles of contacts, affinity and support for the Jewish people and the State of Israel.

The existence of these groups and their desire for a contact with the Jewish people raised the need to investigate the phenomenon and formulate operative recommendations pertaining to the State of Israel’s treatment of this phenomenon, as well as thinking about the attitude of the Jewish people in the Diaspora towards these groups. As a rule, we do not have a distinct category to which they can be associated, having the Law of Return on the one hand, and the Entry into Israel Law on the other.

That is why I have established a public advisory committee that will be tasked with examining the matter comprehensively and in a far-sighted
manner, and with clarifying both the factual aspects of the existence of these communities as well as the possible long-term implications for any policy that will be formulated regarding them. The committee is also required to formulate policy recommendations to the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs in order to lead their implementation within the government of Israel and among the Jewish people.

Dr. Daniel Lees, Basel University, Switzerland, researcher of Jews and Judaized Africans, mainly the Igbos:

Lees has been studying the Igbo tribe (also called Ibo) since 2006 when he traveled to Nigeria and found four substantial communities of Judaized Igbos. Since then some of the communities have split and new ones created. The Igbo is an ethnic group numbering about 30 million members and is concentrated mostly in South-Western Nigeria, but its members are also scattered in other regions. Owing to the slave trade, some of the blacks in the USA and in the Caribbean are descendants of the Igbo. In recent decades many Igbos emigrated to Europe. Almost all Igbos hold the belief that they are of Jewish descent. The Igbos today are Christians, but even a minority of Igbos who remained faithful to their pre-Christian pagan religion believe in their Jewish origin. Dr. Lees’ impression is that the belief in Jewish origin does not stem from economic motives, since the 20,000 Igbos currently living in Switzerland who hold to this belief do not benefit from it at all. Judaized Igbos currently number several thousand at most.

The Igbo’s belief in their Jewish descent is nothing new, as early as 1840, when a British scientific delegation went out to research the Igbo tribes, the Chief Rabbis of London sent with them a letter of inquiry to the Igbo tribesmen, under the assumption they were of Jewish origin.
Early 1840, Olaudah Equiano, a freed slave who became one of the first and most prominent spokesmen for the rights of colored people, authored a book which noted the many parallels he had found between beliefs and customs of the Igbo tribesmen and those of the Jews. In 1840, when a British scientific delegation set out to research the Igbo tribes, the Chief Rabbis of London sent a letter of inquiry with them to the Igbo tribesmen, under the assumption they were of Jewish origin. It would be advisable to establish an Igbo research and study center, send representatives from Israel to regularly meet these groups, and invite representatives of communities like this one to activities organized by Israeli embassies.

..

Mr. Danny Limor, who was active in bringing Ethiopian Jews to Israel via Sudan, and directed a study program about immigration:

Limor is mainly active in helping the Igbo communities in Nigeria interested in converting, and also other groups like the Lemba in South Africa. He visited Nigeria several times, accessing communities with an active synagogue run by Igbo tribesmen. He estimates some 10-15 communities total up to 5,000 people. The Igbos’ overt process of closer links to Judaism began about 50-60 years ago. Currently these communities include a generation born and wholly living according to a “Jewish” identity. “The people of the Igbo communities and similar groups are interested first and foremost in receiving an adequate Jewish education.” These communities’ main source of information regarding normative Judaism is the internet. Limor helped students from the community establish a Jewish student organization in Nigeria. He organized two weeks of intensive studies on Judaism and Israel for the youngsters of these communities, but this is just a drop in the ocean compared to what is really needed. The people of the Igbo communities are interested first and foremost in receiving an adequate Jewish education. It would be very helpful to establish a school or institute in Israel for Igbo communities and similar groups, allowing the communities’ youngsters specified study sessions offering meaningful materials about Judaism, Israel and leadership so that they can return to their countries and lead
their communities.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The disregard and continued inaction vis-à-vis these communities may have devastating consequences for the future of Israel and the Jewish People, among them: the creation of parallel communities which will be recognized in various countries as Jewish but will have no relation to the Jewish People or the State of Israel, forming a parallel, alternative Judaism; distancing those whose Jewish identity is weakening; missing important opportunities in cultural, economic and informational levels among those who wish to draw nearer and be of help to Israel; creating antagonism among those who could be Israel’s best friends.

The calls for the sack of GEJ wasn't borne out of national patriotism but inherent fear that his government was more closer to the east, they accuse the igbos of taking over everything and i wonder why most of them are mute now, the one who aren't, it took them at least three years before the veil was lifted off their eyes, it begs to wonder, WHAT HAVE THE IGBO PEOPLE DONE?

IS OUR BLESSINGS BECOMING OUR NIGERIAN CURSE?

All these victim cries does not move anybody. 2011 When every Nigerian voted for Gej, yoruba elthers went to him to explain politely how he marginalised yorubas. But you igbos came here to laugh at yorubas, calling them all sort of names. Yorubas did not put any emotion or rant. They calm sow n allowed him do his four years. You were busy mocking yorubas then, nobody shout. But what happened, the table turned. Igbos tried hard to delete that thread to cover their sin so that theu can start their victin cries. You igbos ate the devil behind Jonathan loss.

I can never deny my origin.The Igbos have been in existence before the Europeans came with their religion n education.That was when we knew that there is a people called the Jews.This is slightly over 150 years ago but my ancestors have been fishing the Niger River thousands of years before the White man came.
