I lied. I can write general Igbo if I wanted, but I just prefer not to, because I'm not really a fan of general Igbo.

Okay, so by linear programming, I can guess/assume that you're not even Igbo... am I wrong in assuming such?

And where from Igboland are you from? Saa m ajuju.

You can't even begin to correct me, because I wrote correct Igbo. It may not be the Igbo people are taught at school, because I did not go to school for Igbo, but what I wrote is correct Igbo (grammar-wise and lexically). The only difference is that I wrote in my own Igbo tongue, because I do not write in general Igbo (I didn't go to school to learn Igbo, so I'm steadily teaching myself to write general Igbo. As of now though, I find it easier to just write in my tongue).

I will though, attempt to write it in general Igbo... biko, guo nke oma, ka i ghota ihe a na-ede tupu gi kwuo okwu. I think that would be the general Igbo equivalent of what I initially posted. Did that make sense to you?

Also.. [wetere m ife a di ebe a] and [wetele ihe di ebe]... which one did you say was the Anambra one?

Ify9ja.. It seems to me like you misunderstood my initial statement. I stated specifically those from Nri. Are you from Nri? Biko, di-agumacha hwe ke oma ta i gweta nghota tutu gi-adi-akaa hwe. As for her written Igbo.. maybe it could be the way she writes it. Also, all of Anambra does not speak the same kind of Igbo (which I'm sure you know), so just because you don't understand what she writes sometimes does not mean that she does not speak Igbo from somewhere in Anambra.

eyevee, de oda groups no de claim Jewish ancestry (at least, not as a group).

Ify9ja, she's writing Igbo as if she's from Anambra. That's why I asked. As well as the fact that it is mainly people from Anambra [Nri stock] that consider the supposed theory of Igbo being of Jews (to the best of my knowledge).

hehehh... Voltron. I miss that TV show.

and, it isn't about who likes who, for me. Instead, it is about my commitment to my family, and I take family [very] seriously.

Hehh.. sorry ke? No appologies necessary. My life is good, and no loved one can die in my presence/on my watch.

meetashley, where exactly in Igboland are you from? Anambra?

I take back what I said. I wouldn't kill the rapist, because that can never happen in my presence, so long as I can do anything about it, because I would have quarantined the rapist, beat him senseless, and then hand his disfigured self to the police.

I don't joke with family.

It depends largely on the context,but if I am unable to find a way for both I and the loved one in question to continue living, then yes, I do not mind dieing in his/her place. Unless, of course, the loved one in question wants me to continue living. In that instance, I will honor his/her last request, without fail.

My Reaction: Kill the rapist then and there. No long story.
I do not joke with my family, and I never think twice in killing anyone if I feel that I have a good reason to. 

. . .that's considered assault. . .

I don't think the Igbo come from the Jews. Israel is not as old as the establishments in Igboland.

NOTE: I am not a historian/anthropologist. This is only my assumption from what I know, what I know, and the connections that I can make.

Israel - Most definitely not. Israel isn't as old as the establishments in Igboland.
Ethiopia - If I'm remembering what I read correctly about migration routs, this one would make some sense. Igbo could have diverged from around the Ethiopian, geographical area and went west, whereas others could have chosen to still continued going north.
Egypt - If anything, this probably happened after diverging away from Ethiopian, geographical area. Much later though.
Old Oyo Empire - Not as a point of origin, but there may be some Igbo people (a handful at best) that could have come from that area much later on. If anything it could most likely be one of the most recent influx of people (including those that claim to have come from Benin).

There is evidence to suggest indigenous Igbo presence in Igboland as far back as 6000 B.C.E.

Now, in regards to Igbo coming from Israel (or being Jews), I believe people should rethink it and say being Hebrew instead, because being Israeli, or being Jewish, is not the same as being Hebrew. If Igbo people have any ties to Israel and the Jews whatsoever, then most likely those ties would be from the Hebrews. I also suspect that the Hebrew connection came about with the influx of people from around/within Egypt.
