Omambala99:
In AGULERI, they have the house of OBU GAD TEMPLE which has survive thousands of years, which Eri himself built in remembrance of his father GAD son of Jacob. At OBU GAD you will see the onyx stone bearing the name of GAD written in acient hebrew. Rememeber onyx stone was given to isreal in the bible by moses, in Exedos 46.
At the OBU GAD temple, floor you will see a hebrew written in crowries, rememeber even soon pages of bible was written in cowries before in was translated.
At confluence of Eze and Omambala river you will see twelve onyx stones in the mouth of river, this represent twelve tribe of isreal.
Eri grave is still marked in AGULERI till date.
Visit AGULERI and see things for yourselves.

Do you have pictorial evidence? I have heard this story before but never seen pictures.

You must be out of your natural mind if you think Nigeria's terrible reputation is from drug trafficking. See this village buffoon trying to speak about international affairs. I actually Live outside of Nigeria thus get branded daily by that shithole terrible repytation. Nigeria is known for two things and two things alone...SCAM and TERRORISM. Thsee are the two things that shithole gets branded for. Nigeria reputation in terms of drug trafficking is nothing but a scratch an infants butt. There's a reason why you don't see drug lords coming to Nigeria for drugs because that nation's reputation in that criminal lifestyle is highly insignificant. Even trafficking drugs to Asia is the stupidest thing known to men as Asian countries, most specifically Malaysia and Taiwan, is known as the drug capitals of the world. Your shithole gets branded for SCAM which you yoruba out beats everyone by a thousands. Hence whenever Nigerian scam is ever mentioned on TV as a joke here in USA, the names associated is always yoruba. That has been only one country in the entire world which have offered to build prison in Nigeria so they can start deporting Nigerians due to the Nigeria'so overpopulation in the country's prison...Guess what country that was? Britain. Guess who outnumber everyone by a 1000 in that country... you Afonja. There's been 13 Nigerian people in FBI most wanted list, 10 of those people are yoruba. 2 igbo and finally 1 urhobo. You people have scammed so much that the urhobo was labeled as yoruba by FBI due to over excess amount of your people they've looked for scamming. Let's not forget the two times Nigeria made world record for crime, both drug dealing and scamming, both times the culprit was yoruba.

Since you speak of drugs, unlike your incompetent ass I actually deal with statistics, not here say or individualism.

Stats don't lie MF.
Almost every of your current leaders were past drug lords. Last checked, wasn't your Tinubu, a well known DRUG LORD.

lol, you are comparing your region to another region that is double (SW) and triple (NW) your population in number of cases?
lol.

The Igbos have been practicing circumcision of the male child just like the Jews for thousands of years before the whitemen came with the Bible just as God commanded Abraham do to Isaac in Genesis 21:4

So if Igbos do not have Jewish link or ancestry;then who taught them to circumcise exactly like the Jews?

So, circumcision has to be taught by only jews?
No two cultures in the world can have the same stuff?
SMH

The key things in Igbo - yam significance, market day, kolanut reverence, wine carrying are missing in Jewish culture

Amarabae:
What you know now as IGBOS is the coming together of two people. 1st is the aboriginals called ADAMAs who were bantus and migrated into Nigeria where they settled at Okigwe/Uturu axis, the second people are the ERI Migration from Israel, they fled during the islamic conquest of North Africa/Middle East, Israel tribes were scattered, Lemba people of Ethiopia have the israeli link.
Eri migration into West of Alkebula(now Africa) had them settled at North of Igboland via Omambala River.
The coming together, intermarriage, intertrading, Socialisation etc btw Eri and Adama gave rise to early Igbo settlements.
I will open a thread on this with history resources.

Quick question:

The Semites are members of the Caucasoid people including Jews, Arabs, and Babylonians in some cases, they're not dark skinned like Africans, why are Igbos with quintessential black African features?

However, Ethiopian features are quite different from that of black Africans because they're light-skinned, and so its plausible that they are Semites that migrated from middle east, but years of cross-breeding w/ blacks makes their descendants in modern Ethiopia darker.

AlPeter:
which Eri? Hope you know That Eri lived
more than 8000 years ago

My guy, I have tried to correct this set of deluded Igbos severally that the source or origin of their much talked about "ERI" lies in "Ancient AKA Kingdom" [from which Benin Empire emerged] during the OGISO Dynasty. ERI [meaning "supernatural" or "spirit"] was a powerful and influential high priest in the kingdom of the Ogisos. But following the collapse of the Ogiso dynasty around 900AD and 1000AD, there was widespread chaos, lawlessness and anarchy, and many people fled the kingdom and settled in far away regions. Among the people who migrated out of Ancient AKA KINGDOM along with their households during that era were Eri [a high priest of Aka Kingdom] and the ancestors of the Urhobo-Isoko, Epie-Attissa, Egenni and the Ikwerre peoples. Eri was a great and popular high priest believed to have strong spiritual powers. Eri was so revered that he was later deified. And even up til today among the Edoid race, people still bears names that begins with ERI also pronounced EHI [Urhobo-Isoko pronounce it "ERI", while Bini and Ishall call "EHI"], signifying divinity or reference to maker of destiny. The name Eri is also often exclaimed to express surprises, just as one calls JESUS. In summary, Eri was a royal high priest to the Ogisos who left Udo the capital [near Benin] in about 900AD [following the fall of ancient Aka kingdom], crossed the River Niger into Igala land, and finally possibly settled in Aguleri/ Umuleri region of present Anambra State.

I'm sorry but I fail to see what this has got to do with you. Are you Igbo? Are you Jewish? Like I said, even if it's proven that we are Jewish, we won't leave our lands for any land grabbers to profit from.

Anything you wish on me, may it return back to sender x7 IJMN.

Sure I have Eri in mp3, and Jacob in blue ray.

This needs to stop. This is just an attempt by the ultra Zionists to subjugate Igbo people. It's well known that Israel has been trying to expand their Jewish population and presence in Israel against the Palestinians.

Igbo people should be proud of their historical achievement and not be fixated with the Zionist mission to distort your history and culture. First the British, now the Zionists. Archeological evidence suggests that the first iron casters in the world likely came from Ala Igbo based on the iron slags and furnaces at Lejja dating back to 2000 BC and Opi to 800 BC. This laid the foundation for Igbo Ukwu bronze work in the 8th and 9th century. Igbo people also used Nsibidi, which is one of the few indigenous African writing which could date back to 2000 BC. Let's not forget states like Nri and Arochukwu.

Don't be fooled by tales of the promise land flowing with milk and honey because the reality is different today. Israel today is filled with division caused by hatred and social stratification and aggregated by violence and extremism. Not all Jews are treated the same. First of all, there are Ashkenazi, Sephardic, Mizrahi, Beta Israel, and Indian Jews.

The first class Jews known as Ashkenazi are European Jews that survived the Holocaust and they control much of the government since the British partition in 1947. The next class is the Sephardic Jews whose ancestors left Spain. The third class is the Mizrahi Jews, which are the native Jews since many of them never left Jerusalem even after after it was destroyed by the Romans. And last, the bottom of the bottom, the Ethiopian Jews (Beta Isreal) and Indian Jews who are discriminated against because Zionist hardliners do not recognize them since they are apparently too dark to be Jewish. There are schools run by Ashkenazis that won't even accept a black Jew. There are segregated neighborhoods based on different sects of Judaism. Being a Messianic Jew is not even a compromise, because you are still discriminated against.

While knowing that there is racism in their country, the hardliners are faced with a dilemma because at the same time they need more Jews to off balance the demographics between them and the Palestinians, because as of right now it's 50-50. So they scavenge the world on their quest to find the lost tribes of Israel.

While I cannot control someone's wishes, this is just something that I need to say.

Ashkanezes are very modern compared to the rather long history of Jews.
If Igbos have any relationship with Jews, it's probably because Jews came from Igbo, and the other way round.
And if the Sahara used to be thickly inhabited, you can understand how a civilization could spread from west to north Africa.

I don't follow. I thought Abraham was the father of the Jews who migrated west to Israel from Ur, Mesopotamia. I'm aware of the Ashkenazi. I also mentioned the Mizrahi, many whom continued to live in Jerusalem after it was destroyed.

I got you
That idea has been advanced to possibly explain the very similar traditional practices of the Igbo vs Hebrew culture, such as circumcision and the day of performance, week days, number system, belief in One main God, inheritance, and even penalty and sacrifice. The similarities were just too many to be ignored or called a coincidence.

This statement irks me. No one brought an inch of land to Nigeria. It's safe to say anyone who wants out & wanting to identify ancestry with a distant cousin, stands the risk of losing their land occupation to other waiting tribes to occupy.


I could hear your mom footsteps coming for your phone..

Kiss the truth!

Would have saved the people of Nigeria from criminals, the people of Thailand from drug pushers, the people of Indonesia from wasting bullets executing them, the prisons in Malaysia from congestion the people of South Africa from wasting time protesting against immigrants.
In short it'd have saved the world a whole lotta drama

If i had fifty million dollars I'd have given you SIXTY million dollars!

Male circumcision is practiced by hundreds of ethnic groups across the world. The idea of one God exists in other cultures too, it's not limited to Abrahamic beliefs alone. Religious sacrifice is practiced by lots of ethnic groups in Southern Nigeria, Benin, Togo, Cameroon, etc. I can speak on those similarities. I'm not well versed in the similarities in inheritance, number system and calendar.

If you look carefully, there are numerous overlapping similarities across cultures around the world. Correlation doesn't equal causation necessarily. Humans tend to think alike.

No one brought an inch of land to Nigeria because Nigeria was set upon us by the Imperialists. It wasn't initially agreed to by the different ethnic groups in the country. By your logic, since Nigeria was not based on a general consensus of its peoples then it stands the chance that any group who disagrees to such a union can do so without losing their land.
