Who is looking for land?

There is nothing to debunk because no one has ever seriously - note seriously - claimed that West Africans just sprung from West African soil.

Both genetic and archaeological evidence point to a common origin of all mankind in East Africa. Should it be a surprise then if West Africans have a haplogroup that is of probable East African origin?

1. Such writings Haven't been scrutinised as to when it was likely written
And all we see are internet pictures..hmm

2. Nigeria is not igboland pls.
we also have cowrie on some of our currencies, portraying a true African people
We also have Arabic on some currencies..yet we aren't Arabs

3. DNA by who?what are the names of the people specimen was taken from? The names of the geneticist?
Is it the same anonymous DNA testers that said Yoruba have Eurasian gene
Such nonsense

Not at all. "Igbo" couldn't be pronounced by the English and other Europeans so they called it "Ibo" with spellings like Heebo, Eboe
The Igbo man has already coached you on this

Not only is "Hebrew" an European word for "Ivri/Ibri" it means something different from "Igbo"

so find the relationship of Ivri with Igbo
That's where true wisdom lies not all this conspiracy and fallacy

I don't want to hurt your faith on this thread so I won't address this issue
But the bold parts got me laughing tho

absoluteSuccess:
holy serendipity, I'm Lemba too! How are you kinsman? We Lembas have flexible ethnicity. Again we don Port o.

absoluteSuccess:
Isnt it hypocritical to claim on one thread that 'Yoruba, igbo and so on were in Jew business together even when you know thats not what you think'? so it was meant to wade off or bribe an adversary? Now here you are haunting a Yoruba thread dedicated to the same issue? I want to assume you are above petty hypocrisy and inferiority complex cos I'm south African too.

how many promises did ur god fail to deliver on to Abraham?
check out Genesis 15:18-21 for one more failed promise
I would advise you don't let us go down the road of religion and all this god talk


this fleeing you are referring to was always to Egypt as u pointed, today lost Jewish clans exist in Egypt, Morocco and in and around Arabia but not in sub-Saharan Africa

Btw the earth doesn't have corners

Are you still from Ethiopia?

Don't let sentiments betray you,

Stay being Ethiopian, its good for you.

Radoillo:
Blue5, why don't you just come out and admit it. You are Igbo. Or at least Southern Nigerian. You're not Ethiopian at all. An Ethiopian will not be swallowing this much panadol over a Southern Nigerian matter.

Why are you asking me to 'deal with it'? Did I tell you I was hurting because you and some other Igbo call what was originally Obuga 'Obu-Gad'? I couldn't care less if you called it Beth-Yakuv or Nobunaga. I couldn't. I will tell you it isn't the actual original name, but it isn't any skin off my nose if you want to go ahead and call it by the 20th-century Hebrew-influenced corruption. So I don't get why you're telling me to 'deal with it'.

Can you also stop mentioning me if all you've got to present are these evidence that have nothing close to a sound proof that can stand up in the scientific community to back 'em up? I'm getting tired of coming in here to tell you how weak and unsubstantiated your 'proof' is.

What, for example, is this Sephardic Movement, if not an ethnocultural group? It isn't a scientific-scholarly body. What are they doing confirming the authenticity of the Aguleri claims? It makes no academic sense.

Am I supposed to reply to this Igbo-Heebo-Hebrew thing you keep tossing around?

Because the Europeans couldn't make the 'gb' sound, and ended up pronouncing Igbo as Eboe, Ebo, Heebo, you somehow now imagine these European corruptions must be closer to the original form? How is that sensible? I'll have you know that scholars of Igbo studies have a number of theories on the etymology of 'Igbo' which make far more sense that trying to connect the word with 'Hebrew' because some European sailor unfamiliar with African sounds ended up calling Igbo Heebo.

The *gbo root occurs widely in West Benue-Congo languages (to which Igbo language belongs) and connotes either 'forest vegetation' or 'a collection of people.' Igbo would then either mean 'the forest people (a reference to the rainforest vegetation of most of Igboland)' or simply a collection of people.

I've seen the 'hebrew' inscriptions you posted a picture of. The ones I said I haven't seen are the ones you said were inscribed on onyx stones. I have already stated the reservations that have been expressed concerning the 'hebrew' inscriptions above. I do not believe I need to repeat myself. A scholar on ancient Hebrews writings have not confirmed that they are actually 'paleo-Hebrew'. The age of the inscriptions has not been established (we need its age to eliminate the possibility that it could be recent, and thus, a possible forgery).

There IS a process! Claims are not accepted at face value. The memory of Piltdown man is still fresh in the memory of people in the scholarly/scientific community.

This ought to be my last post here. I'm tired of being mentioned only to come here and see the same weak and unsubstantiated stuff over and over. I do not want to snap and say words that could come across as insulting. Carry on, but could you please not mention me again.

Thank you.
