if u dont know history...no come here to expose ur ignorance...go and read about d Igbos...
the Igbos up till date do not have a specific origin ......(Afigbo, A.E.. ‘Prolegomena to the study of the culture history of the Igbo-Speaking Peoples of Nigeria’, Igbo Language and Culture, Oxford University Press, 1975. 28.)...
But certain common languages between Igbo Language and languages in Isreal, Egypt, Sudan etc shows...there ancestral similarities between thess groups (

A Northern Nigerian columnist in
www.gamji.com attested that d enterprising nature of an average Igbo man can only be equalled or compared to a Jew's
d History of the Igbos documented in other great books stated that these people originated frm somewhere in the present day middle east...continued in a massive exodus through Egypt, via Sudan till finally in the South eastern part of Nigeria....
so if an Igbo man tells u the Igbo are Jews, dont doubt it since u dont have a better explanation of their origin.
safe!!

It is wrong of you to call him/her an ignorant person.....thats its opinion. This is the main reason we are democratically backward in Naija....because other peoples opinions are not respected.
That said, you quote all this journals and texts....but have you actually read and understood any fully? What did the conclusions say? What was the premise of the argument studied? Did it mention specific proof of Igbo-Jewish descendancy or its purely of a speculative nature? Have there been further studies to verify the authenticity of the research done and finally where is the DNA test to prove it?
Until you can answer all these questions, you dont even have a case talk less of a solid one. And one more thing....dont gobble up all you read. The fact that it is published doesnt mean that it is TRUE! Learn to be more critical in your quest for knowledge or you might turn out to know less and less at the end of the day.
