Every year, a festival called the Ancient Iduu Cultural (Olili Obibia Eri) festival is organised to celebrate the arrival of Eri at the Agbanagbo-Ezu-na-Omambala (confluence of Ezu and Omabala rivers). This festival was initiated by Eri and is still celebrated.

It is believed that the Igbo people descended from Eri, a divine figure who according to folklore, was sent from heaven to begin civilization

Folklore has it that Eri lived in Egypt as a high priest during the reign of Joseph. When he foresaw the intending slavery of his people, he fled Egypt through the river Nile, crossed the river Benue, transversed across the river Niger, then settled near the confluence. With the people he was able to recruit, he established in that location. Eri had a son there, and he called him Nri.

Now, after the death of Eri, his first son Agulu (now known as Agulu + Eri, “Aguleri”) took over the land and the people multiplied and spread to form more communities. Nri heard of his father’s death and he went back to Aguleri, and stayed for a long period so that one of his demands before his death was to be buried in Aguleri.
Prior to his death, he founded a kingdom which, some say, is a result of his father’s mystical abilities which were passed down to him.

That's one hell of a poor joke.

She is worth more than gold than all aphonja females with unappealing, wide nose with incredible shapeless wide Lips, poor hygiene, and bubonic global odouriferous plagued pants/puna put together!

Some Jews came to take DNA samples of our brothers from the East and the outcome shows that the ancestors ties between the Ignis and Jews is like the distance between the north and south.

The earlier they realize that the Nupes are their ancestors, the better for them.

Aguleri people and twisting of history are like 5 and 6.

Nri-Menri was buried in Eriaka in present Aguleri because he is the firstborn of Eri. NRI was buried near his dad because he inherited that land.

Agulu was not buried near his dad. Obviously he didn't inherit that land. You only get buried in a land that belongs to you. And it is usually the first son that inherits such pieces of land.

Nri-Menri already had a huge expanse of land in present day Enugwu-Ukwu and Agukwu when he was alive, but was still buried beside his father at Eriaka. That proves NRI was the first son of Eri.

This was not the first Eri. There was the land and people of Idu thousands of years ago, ever before the greatness of Egypt and before Joseph/Israel. These people from Idu took civilization to Egypt.

The so called Jews are not descendants of the ancient Israelites. They are Europeans, children of Japheth.

Which of the Jews?

The Jews came from Israel, Israel came from Isaac, Isaac came from Abraham, Abraham came from Hebrew and the Hebrews were descendants of Shem.
