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.
Hebrew and Jew is the correct terminology. In ancient times, those called Jews were strictly from the tribe of Judah and all the other 12 tribes were considered Hebrews and Israelites and definitely not "Israelis". Israelis are originally from Europe.

Moses was not a Jew, but a Hebrew. These are examples. Somebody born from the tribe of Levi was called a Levite. | Posted: at 12-01-2010 06:34 AM (15 years ago) | Upcoming | |

Scientists are currently investigating this in Isreal since they are trying to locate all the lost Jewish tribes. This would have to be confirmed before the end time. I commend you for asking because most Igbos don't try to research their origins beyond their village. | Posted: at 12-01-2010 09:10 AM (15 years ago) | Newbie | |

Those that come from the tribe of Levi are called Levites. Those that come from the Benjamin tribe like Apostle Paul are called Benjamites. Jews are only one aspect of Hebrews/Israelites. Everybody is answering Jews right now and forgetting the remaining eleven tribes. The chances that some Igbos came from Judah tribe is also there, but some of them come from the other tribes from the Hebrews which are still Israelites. | Posted: at 18-04-2010 07:18 PM (15 years ago) | Gistmaniac | |
