Ooni of Ife speaks on true identity of Igbo
However, the Yoruba monarch said that the reverse was the case, stating that the race of the Jews is very similar, but the Igbo are older than the Israelites.

The Ooni said:

“There is this mistake that the world usually makes; they make this mistake that the Igbos came from the Jews. No, it is the other way round.

“The truth be told, the first human race that existed was the Igbos before the Jews, and we were all living together at the centre of tropical rain forest, which is the heart of the whole thing.”
