What an idiotic tirade at a an ethnic group. To what end??
Im not attacking any ethnic group, I opened this topic to refute the yoruba claims of being the only ethnic group with a genuine history meanwhile they go about cursing the igbos who claim to be Jewish.

If I may ask, among the two history which of them is reasonable and genuine?

Lol, hypocrisy at its best!

CultureIgbo Progenitor Story Vs Yoruba Progenitor Story, Facts & Fiction by scoleman(op):
Igbo's history


Igbos claim they came to be in present day Nigeria after travelling distant miles from exile in egyp, and cultural/archeological facts supports this .

During the early years of the missionaries, it was documented that the igbos were Jewish, had Jewish like custom and also star of David was painted on doors and walls of the houses, they also said if they told the igbos about the jewish roots it will be hard for them to convert to christainity but if they werent it will be easy for them to become converts because most of the laws of Igboland (odinani) is almost the samething with the jewish laws in the old testament which led to massive conversion across igboland. That is why today igbos are 99.9% christains.

The cultural connection between the Igbo’s and the Hebrews was first made by Olaudah Equiano an ex-slave of Igbo origin in the west indies from Essaka( probably Nsukka) writing in his 1789 book, “The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano made this statement " Such is the imperfect sketch my memory has furnished me with of the manners and customs of a people among whom I first drew my breath. And here I cannot forbear suggesting what has long struck me very forcibly, namely, the strong analogy which even by this sketch, imperfect as it is, 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.” Equiano analogies were based on common cultural practices as circumcision, conferment, purification of women, naming children after specific events and experience as also found in Hebrew culture.

The colonial master arriving the Igbo heartland also saw this similarities hence further comparison. The Igbo origin as defined by the colonial masters has two hypothesis, the Hamitic Hypothesis and oriental hypothesis; the hamitic hypothesis proposed that the Igbo were of Middle Eastern origin, either Egyptian or Hebrew. The most outspoken proponent of the Hamitic hypothesis was the colonial Christian missionary Archdeacon G.T. Basden. The question of Igbo Jewish identity to which many Igbo’s lay claim was a result of the colonial discourse based on the Hamitic hypothesis the oriental hypothesis was borne out of the hamitic hypothesis, the oriental hypothesis proposes that the Igbo’s are descended from the Jews. The proponent of this theorem base their argument from circumstantial and biblical evidence.The exponents of this theory found similarity of culture between that of Igbo and some of the middle Eastern peoples. Circumcision, system and manner of naming children, sentence structure and similarity in some words, religion and ritual symbols, love of adventure and enterprise were used to explain derivation from the East. It is also believed that the word Ibo is the corruption for the word Hebrew.

The star of David was found 500ft deep in the ground in present day Anambra state which prompted the addition of the star of David in the old Nigerian colonial coin.

Neom katz, the isreali envoy said that he believes the igbos are one of the lost tribes of Israel, do you also know that the onyx stone belonging to gad was found in Igboland which prompted isreal to send archaeologist to research about it.


Yoruba history

First version says Oduduwa, the yorubas progenitor was the first man created by God after which he have fell from the sky with the aid of a "chain" and established the present day Yoruba kingdom, making you wonder if this is an alien sci-fi movie, even if it were to be true, what about the woman who bore kids to populate Yoruba land? How did the yoruba population grow? Or is he an hemaphrodite cheesy

Another oral tradition claim that Oduduwa was Olodumare's favourite orisha, and as such was sent from heaven to create the earth.

There is much controversy concerning him and his place and names in the Yoruba pantheon, and consensus on the subject is as elusive as it is with any other "creation myth". However, the Ife are known for telling the following story:

A certain number of divinities were to accomplish the task of helping earth develop its crust. On one of these visits Obatala, the King of White Clothes, took to the stage equipped with a mollusk that held in its shell some form of soil; two winged beasts and some cloth like material. Having made palm wine from the palm trees he caused to grow after shaping the planet, he began to drink ; soon falling into a drunken stupor, he was unable to accomplish the task he was originally given. Olodumare then sent Oduduwa to save what was left of the mission.

When Oduduwa found the Obatala in a "tipsy" state, he simply took over and completed the tasks. The place which he leaped onto from the heavens and which he redeemed from the water to become land was named Ile-Ife and is now considered the sacred and spiritual heart of Yorubaland.

Due to this experience, Obatala is said to have subsequently made it a taboo for any of his devotees to drink palm wine.

Forgiven by Olodumare, he was later given the responsibility of molding the physical bodies of human beings; the making of land in this story is said to be a symbolic reference to the founding of the Yoruba kingdoms, and this is why Oduduwa is credited with the achievement

Another version says he is an Arab who came from Mecca,


Without any bias isn't the oduduwa stories the biggest lie on earth? Even when there are no archeological evidence to support this claim, yet some gullible yorubas believed these stories and uphold it with all seriousness.

The reason why I opened this thread is to expose the hypocrisy of the yorubas who keep cursing the igbos for claiming to be jewish/hebrew even when cultural/archeological evidence support their claim, but looking at both history, you can boldly say, the yorubas are confused people with no history but they hide their shame by cooking up some sci-fi movie like story and feeding it to their gullible indigene. Smh

Now whose history is believable between the igbos and the yorubas?

I guess your answer is staring at you in the face.

Focus on your struggle for freedom my friend, I've got bigger fish to fry.
Lol cheesy cheesy cheesy

I don't blame you, you think you own Nigeria whereas your region is comparable to niger in terms of poverty, diseases and standard of living

Almajiri like you, right from the colonial days, the north have been known to be poverty ridden, you claim we complain about having Hausa versions of BBC, VOA and other bull shit radios, by the way who listens to radio these days, that shows how backward you guys are, oh so thats an achievement eh? FYI the reason why you have Hausa versions of everything is because of the mass illiteracy in the north. You all can't comprehend simple English, even if you were quotarized with 3 marks, you will end up as a glorified illiterate cheesy

Lol like that's a bad thing. The question is how will YOU survive when the SS refuses to join you if you ever get your phantom biafraaud.

I don't even want to remind you who owns and controls the oil blocs as we speak.
Well that's the map of Igboland, FYI we don't need SS because we have indegineous igbos in SS.also we are not after oil because we have massive reserve in the East, currently IMO state has the biggest onshore gas reserve in Africa, I didn't say offshore, i said onshore, so if you think you can blackmail the igbos with oil, Fulani cow, you have failed.

You talk about ownership of oilblocs, I laugh in Igbo, do you think it matters? When igbos have secceded who are you to claim oil bloc's, them born your Papa well huh, meanwhile enjoy it while it last because when the sun sets, not one inch of Igboland will be left for you leaches!

Id created March 2016.

I clicked on the past post and the first thing I saw was the Nigga talking about Osun state university, writing jamb and in addition claiming he grew up in UK and lived in Nigeria for 3 years.

You can Quote me on this and you can TAKE IT to BANK.....there is ZERO DOUBT IN MY MIND the OP is YORUBA


You want to know how I know because the fool actually wrote and I quote Igbo are minorities in delta and rivers state.

Everyone and their mama knows Anioma have the second largest population in delta state..how I know...I'm anioma.

The fact he claims to be from delta state and don't know this well known FACT...screams IMPOSTER

Also Igbo Rivers have the largest population in River state.

Another factor that gave the fool away is the claim "where Is the oil they own?"

Yet again...anyone from.SS knows The largest oil producing area in River state is Oyigbo.

Take this to the bank and cash it.....the OP is 100% YORUBA
No doubt in my mind. I'll even bet money on it[/b]

The OP is an impostor, a Yoruba one at that!

The OP from isoko, why can't you talk for yourselves alone? You claim we have taken you as brothers and sisters I don't remember ever saying an isoko man is related to me an Igbo man, all we are saying is the resource rich Igboland balkanized into SS, we go collect am back whether una like am or not.

Below is the map of Igboland, she's is said to be 41,440 km2 , so not even 1 km will be left out.

Lol I laugh at your crass ignorance,

During the days of the missionaries, it was documented that the igbos were Jewish, had Jewish like custom and also star of David was painted on doors and walls of the houses, they also said if they told the igbos about theor jewish roots it will be hard for them to convert to christainity but if they werent it will be easy for them to become converts because most of the laws of ignoland is almost the samething in the old testament which led to massive conversion across igboland. That is why igbos are 99.9% christains. Equilaino, the educated Igbo slave who was later released also noticed the similarities between the igbos and the Jewish people, and he agreed that igbos were truly Jewish.

Also do you know that the lembe ethnic group in southern Africa are Jewish with the Cohen modal haplotype (decendants of Aaron) and this said gene is more in them than the white jews in present day isreal, making them the jews with the purest Cohen modal haplotype in the whole earth currently, but guess what! they are black bantus, Assuming gene test weren't carried out, ignorant people like you will say that they are deceiving themselves.

Do you know that the star of David was found 500ft deep in the ground in present day Anambra state which prompted the addition of the star of David in the old Nigerian colonial coin, what do you call that, coincidence?
Neom katz, the isreali envoy said that he believes the igbos are one of the lost tribes of Israel, do you also know that the onyx stone belonging to gad was found in Igboland which prompted isreal to send archaeologist to research about it.
It is said that the Igbo custom is the exact copy of the Jewish custom, no additions, no substractions, what do you call that, mere coincidence?

You are filled with hatred for the igbos, you yorubas said your progenitor fell from the sky like an alien sci-fi movie and established the present day Yoruba kingdom, isn't that the biggest lie on earth but yet no one doubt you even when, there are no archeological evidence to support this claim.
