The high expectations of members of the Redeemed Israel Community of Nazarene Association (RICON) on a possible ancestral link between Igbo and Jews was dashed beyond reasonable doubt recently...
The international President of Jewish Voice Ministries, Rabbi Jonathan Bernis, announced that the result of saliva samples taken in Nnewi had shown that the Igbo were not Jews.
Members of the group had gathered at Uruagu-Nnewi to collect what would be the confirmation/ Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) test result of Ndigbo’s claims that Igbo are descent of Israel got to the venue as early as 9.00am on Saturday for a result that was to reshape the relationship of Igbo and Israel.
Rabbi Bernis who read the report from a laboratory based in Houston, Texas, the United States of America (USA) said that the result of the samples taken from Nigeria randomly on some people in Igboland bear no semblance with the ones in the data base of the laboratory.
The Israeli in company of three of his compatriots said that none of the 124 specimen taken from Nigeria matched the samples in the Houston laboratory which has 17 years’ experience in DNA business.
He however said that the result does not rule out the claim of Igbo to Israeli descent as more research would still be made to authenticate the claims.
The President of RICON, Bishop Ignatius Orizu (JP) while commenting on the DNA result said that the result would not deter the organisation from continuing to research into the claimed descent of the Igbo from Israel.
He pointed out that the tradition, religion and culture of the Igbo long before the arrival of the missionaries have great semblance with that of the Israelis.
Bishop Orizu who said that there are many books in circulation that collaborated the claim of Igbo to Israeli decency however urged the congregation not to lose hope as science is always in the business of discovery and recovery.
He appealed to the Federal Government to recognise the Jews in Nigeria and proclaim Yaweh’s Feast of Passover, trumpets, atonements, tabernacles among others as public holidays as approved for Christians and Moslems during Christmas, New Year and Easter.
Saliva samples were collected from Igbo community for Y25, DNA test on February 6 and 7, 2017 at Nnewi, Anambra State.

Not Every Igbos are Jews.just a few people
ReplyDeleteMirations held a long time ago(over 6 thousand years ago) not a recent immigrations and there have been a lot of mixes and inter marriage so what do they expect
I am sure if they look further into other people in Nigeria there might be at least 2 to4 percent or 0 points something.Anything above this percentage I mentioned means such people are recent or not very far away mixed.
Igbos aren't the only tribe that migrated from the Middle east just saying
Keep the dream. 💤👄
DeleteThey are two kinds of people in this world, children of God Almighty and the Devil. Nationality is not relevant.
ReplyDeleteSee how Kalu is making ppl make a fool of themselves.

ReplyDeleteI wonder how kanu took this news
We go hear word at last. Because the way they laid claim to this their Jewish heritage eenn even the real jews would be thinking twice about their heritage and source.

DeleteLol.Wetin make them think say them be jews?Do they think cos Bible mentioned the house of Abia?It said the house of Abia not Anambra or Imo or Enugu or is there any other reason they think they are Jews?Mtschew!Even if they had a Jewish history it doesn't justify the superiority complex they have against their fellow citizens!They feel superior already without trying to prove a point and if their jewsih claims now turn out to be true that means that would wipe out the other tribes in Nigeria.The wisdom of man is the foolishness of God.Stella post this comment
ReplyDeleteLol! This is in direct contradiction to another report I read. Let me search for it and paste.

ReplyDeleteJewish scientists arrive Anambra, allegedly present DNA proof that Igbos are Israelites Author: Chinma Ihenacho UPDATED: 12 HOURS AGO VIEWS: 168012 Category: Gist, Local news, Photo SHARE ON FACEBOOK SEND VIA EMAIL SEND ON WHATSAPP SHARE ON FACEBOOK SEND VIA EMAIL SEND ON WHATSAPP Barely 5 months after NAIJ.com reported that some Jewish scientists visited Nnewi, Anambra state to trace the ancestral lineage of the Igbos, they have returned with the result. NAIJ.com earlier reported that the former president-general of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Dr Dozie Ikedife, invited Jewish scientists to carry out some Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) tests at his hospital, to ascertain the possibility of an ancestral relationship between the Igbo people and Jews in Israel. About 5 months later, the scientists led by the international president of the Jewish voice ministries identified as Rabbi Jonathan Bernis, returned to Nnewi where they presented the DNA results of their verification. The scientists whose current visit to Nnewi is said to be their 4th, presented the result which reportedly proves that the Igbos from south-eastern Nigeria are truly descendants of the clan of Gad in Israel. The Jewish scientists returned to Nnewi with DNA proof that Igbos are truly of Israeli descent.

So who do we believe?😀😀😀😀
Personally I quite fancy the idea of a genetic/ancestral link between the Igbos and the Jews. I've always had a soft spot and an affinity for the Jews😊, and I love history and genealogy.
But to be honest it doesn't really matter, doesn't change the price of fish in the market!😅
What I find really odd are these people who are actually converting to Judaism and picking up weird practices!😳😑🙄
so so so and so confused people, very soon now they will start claiming that they are from saudi arabia or pakistan. why cant they remain as igbo and wait until their descendants from israel come looking for them like as brasilians claiming to be yoruba and come here to find their roots
ReplyDeleteHahahaha 😁😁 kanu be deceiving them igbo 😂 yeye de smell
ReplyDeleteIs Kanu planning to relocate them to Israel to settle down as Biafrans or just searching for their root???? Funny people.😂😁
DeleteI am Igbo from Nigeria eastern ABA state traditionally it proof we are , we a very stubborn and determination, we Love God and doesn't want to offend him,we love Nigeria and doesn't want to leave in Israel we hate blood shared ozioma Elizabeth peter
DeleteI don't know where y'all got this idea from.
ReplyDeleteJews indeed!
But we all are from some place.
If every tribe in every nation begins to trace their roots, who go remain?
There are important matters to deal with abeg.
Who Who where we are from, what matters is whe we're going..asin when I die
ReplyDeleteStella don't allow it mess your head. They have studied my Igbo brothers, come see say them be hustlers. They know if they tell the the truth of their ancestry now, before you know it, fiam! They will turn their demands to Israeli government lol, na why guyman gave them fake result.
ReplyDeleteBut on a very serious note, what are we suppose to do with the that information?

Gradually the whole truth about this scam called nnamdi kanu will unveil. At least 1 down, others to follow.
ReplyDeleteIf the result came out that the igbos were Of Jewish decent ,the Jewish communities all over will support and aid the igbos etc .
ReplyDeleteLollll, I hope finally they will let us hear word and stop claiming to be Jews, it's not just a Kanu thing, it's something they've believed for years me myself I was deceived sef, because of how some of them used to have light brown, green, blue and Grey eyes and be fair skinned, they should sha tell us what their ancestry is if it's not Jewish then.
ReplyDeleteEwooooo and kanu has been going round wearing a yarmulke saying he's Jewish. Ehyaaaa. Great IPOB
ReplyDeleteNow we can all rest easy. The way they carried it on their head, you will almost think they were sure. In april i met with an Israeli and she mentioned that Igbos were claiming to have ancestral linkage to Israel, she found that ridiculous. the only black Jews Israel really recognizes are the Ethiopians. Assuming the DNA result proved they were, what then? Nothing wrong with adopting a new religion, but claiming ancestry is another thing.
ReplyDeleteThe mistake IBO's make is, not all are Jewish. I think its only the NRI clan in anambra state.
ReplyDeleteI doubt this report because in 2014, I had mine tested using ancestry.com
I did this because I'm married to a man from Judea
Haters before you start, please read The Life of Olaudah Equiano: Or Gustavus Vassa.

Education is key!!!!!!!
If I'm not mistaken olaudah is the igbo slave trade who bought his freedom from a fair master he was eventually sold to. He was educated ebough to recount his experience and fight for slave trade abolishment. How does that relate to igbos being Jews? Some hausas and Indians have similarities in their culture, but does that mean that they are lost Indians?
DeleteMe i am religious. So I still think that the place in the bible that says 'in the days that the earth was divided' stands true and is a more plausible explanation to the dispersion of people with similar cultures around the world. Igbos are igbos. Jews at Jews. Shikena
Fake news.
