In southeast Nigeria, many Igbo people keep kosher, pray in synagogues, and celebrate Jewish holidays. Known for their advanced metalwork and democratic traditions, as well as ancient Israelite customs including circumcision and scapegoat rituals, the Igbo have blended ancient African and Jewish traditions for centuries, sparking debates on their true identity.
When British colonialism introduced antisemitism into Africa, leading to the persecution of the Igbo people and the brief secession of the Republic of Biafra, the question of to what extent they should be accepted as part of the Jewish people became all the more pertinent.

About Explainers: From ancient Jewish traditions to the modern State of Israel, we explain it all. Diving into anything and everything related to Jewish culture, history, and even religion.
Understand Jewish holidays, Israeli politics, Jewish diasporic communities, and more. Learn about Judaism in pop culture, debunking myths about Jews, and explore obscure Israeli landmarks. We’re asking questions as basic as “What is the Talmud?”, and as obscure as “How did hip-hop boost Kosher wine sales?”, and everything in between.
About Unpacked: We provide nuanced insights by unpacking all things Jewish. People are complex and complicated - yet we’re constantly being pushed to oversimplify our world. At Unpacked we know that being complex makes us more interesting. Because of this, we break the world down with nuance and insight to drive your curiosity and challenge your thinking.

Maybe you want me to talk about world famous Jewish professor Adam Meyer. I can go on and on with this because all of your own world famous scientist and historians have written articles on the subject matter, and that you are converts and NOT blood born Hebrews. You don’t even know your own real history lady it sounds like to me. Give me your prove that you are so you say your are because I have read your books and jewish and cyclopedia and your own rabbis are saying something totally different then what they have brainwashed you to believe and you don’t look like Ethiopians to me as the Bible has stated. How did you hide in Mizraim being the color that you are? How did you live and in Mizraim for so long there were no air conditioners back then and we all know you can’t even take the heat of the Middle East without air conditioners. How did Europeans hide on a totally Black continent? You say a lot of things but none of you can prove them to be a fact. The Tanakh does say that YAH The Mighty One of Yisreal will expose all of you before the end. YHWH is going to repay all of you for the damage you have done to the world.

I was born in Lagos Nigeria. I grew up knowing that we were hated despite not having been to Igboland. Our teachers constantly tell us how we can never become presidents or the vice president of the country. I moved back to my village, learnt ancient customs and traditions (Omenala, or Omenana) without reference or knowledge of the Hebrew traditions. Surprising to me, they are in tandem with the Hebrew traditions. Circumcision, burial, sacrifices, scape goats, customs about women on their mensural cycle, weddings, marrying from only your kin, etc. I am glad and proud to be Igbo... Whether I am from ancient Israelite is something I do not know or care about. I am just proud to be Igbo despite the hate I get for it. You just gained a follower.

Lets not forget that many Igbos were sold into slavery during the trans-Atlantic slave trade, as were my ancestors. I am British, of Jamaican descent. Found out through a DNA test that I am Igbo (and also, oddly, related to Ramses III of Egypt). My DNA test says I share ancestry with Ashkenazi Jews also.

Judaism Was The Religion of Slaves Brought To America “The study of customs and rites and the analysis of the semantics of these African tribes have led many of their observers to propose some hypotheses and even to draw some conclusions. Doctor Allen H. Godbey reached the following conclusion: ‘These factors have a very specific significance if we consider the presence of Judaism among the American Negroes. Hundreds of thousands of slaves were transported to America from West Africa during the trade which started some 400 years ago. What traces of Judaism still remained among the Negroes of West Africa at that period? To the extent that they were persecuted they were more likely than other Negroes to be seized during wars and sold as slaves. It is virtually certain that many part Jewish Negroes were among those sent as slaves to America. How many of them would have been able to conserve some Jewish customs is another question. This conclusion put forward by Godbey, which argues for the existence of a more or less recurrent Judaism in West Africa in the same places as those from which the Negroes were taken, is shared by others, such as Maurice Delafosse. But most significantly it has been adopted by a class of educated Black Americans as a key argument to demonstrate that the Jewish religion is the traditional religion of Africans brought in slavery to the American continent.” (p 235 - 236)

Thank you very much for this exposé. Note also that in 1917, European missionaries dug up ancient artifacts in Igbo land which left them puzzled. These artifacts included the "star of David" . The Igbos were believed to not have had any encoounters with Europeans prior to the British as they were the last to be conquered by the british after decades of raids in which the British used other conquered tribes to ravage Igbo land. Consequently, the star of David became a feature of the colonial era Nigerian flag. The missionaries also noticed many similarities between Igbo and jewish traditions including; male circumcision, child naming practices, widows marrying brothers of deceased husbands and many more. I wish your documentary explored more. There's so much more. Good job though.

As I even type from school pit eyes have been opened most of us are just trying to work and earn a living... They dared belief they would wipe us all out then wipe out our history.. Haha! "THE WAR NO ONE CARES ABOUT" Ever wondered why we have the best literary genuises, medical and money minded business folks.. Study the history of the recognized Jews, for every persecution they have suffered we have suffered even more. From the time of their sojourn in Egypt to the promised land to Babylon, persia etc... See Grecian history, the crusades, the Mohammedians, the first world War, the second world war, the Jewish holocaust, etc... For us we have the TRANS ATLANTIC slavery... Most of the slaves en route that were Igbos, don't let the deceive you, we were so hated they had to start the mass incarceration of anyone with the particular features they described, the STUBBORN tribe, we never bent our backs to them.. ABA WOMEN'S RIOTS beautiful read... Our mothers protesting their taxation they were shot in the thousands they kept coming waving their palm fronds... "It is easier to die than to live in chains." they taubyed the white men.. "a white man was just buried whee you are standing with dat your wretched catapult you call a gun" " you must not have mothers where you come from but we are here to correct that mistake"... They were usually enslaved on mass this was easy because the IGBO have no KINGS, EZE BU ILO, literally meaning A king is the Enemy best describes out philosophy... Who could rival their coolness and bravery... These women perished but the message was sent.. The slaves who dreamed themselves rather than suffer the fate of a slave.. IGBOS! THEY fought the British and won the brisyish the the British left and said to them EFF YOU.. Then handed the country over to the CALIPHATE whom they knew were the abomination of desolation and wound want to utterly destroy the IGBOs their kewsih enemies... Except their Igbos are almost a 100 percent Christian.. Then the POGROMS of the north, before that there have always been riots, you know a few hundreds every now and the just to remind them not to be too comfortable.. The the film scale pogroms even upon assurance from the Same caliphate, it was clear they had masterminded some of the bloodiest bloodbaths in history... Pregnant.or not... Baby or not no distinction... Slice! Pieces! Slays shall sha! OMO IBO today is your day kwo, your kwup is pull... Noted for their beauty and fairness the Igbos are quick to serperate and and quick to murder.. They don't belive in unjust killing and infact abhor the shedding of innocent blood in their sacred traditions... And strangers are the most guarded and protected in the Igbo central belief... A guest is seen as a god to be treated with piety and kindness.. Then the genocide called war the one the UN never will recognized because it dwosnr fit their ISLAMIC aganda as sponsored by the rulers of this world... We are watching..

The Igbos didn't miss the Holocaust. It was delayed and innacted by the Nigerian government. The Biafran genocide is just one more on a long line of Holocausts.

I remember that terrible Biafra War I watched on the French State TV when I was a 10-years old.

My country Portugal, France and Israel gave direct support to Biafrans. Portugal sent weapons and transported women and children to Sao Tomé, helping them escaping the siege imposed by the Muslims Hausa-Fulanis, in a covert operation called Air Lift. Egypt and the Soviet Union supported the Hausa-Fulanis. Unfortunately and shamely the UK covertly supplied Nigeria with weapons and military intelligence and may have also helped it to hire mercenaries, because of oil politics.

@@pmflov you very right, we still got countries in record that supported us and those against us. Today you mentioned the UK funny how that country converted my ppl to christainity and still behind us support a more Muslims population to annihilate us. Well one thing for sure was our oil the UK needed badly and now that oil is usel3ss we would see what they gonna do about. Low key they been ethic cleanese done in Nigeria esp in the North part where christains are killed at ease. In Biafra land it was happening and we had to form our own defence force to protect our mother's and daughters in the farm. You can research about the fulani herdsmen militia the 4th deadliest terrorist group in the world under the USA deadly terror group. How this bastards get their weapons surprised us. Like a leader of the militant last video he posted he was holding an American sophisticated weapon. Rumour have it weapons sent to Ukraine are finding their way to northern part of Nigeria to this terrorist group. And helping to eradicate non Muslims just like the protest arround the world with the Palestine movement from the river to the sea. Well its the same move by this militants trying to deep their quran into the sea surrounding biafra and river.. But now they finding it hard and using the cover of the Nigeria military to operate and funny how those caught by the military where they said they repented and recruit them into the military. During the day they act and work with the military uniform and at night take off the uniform and act like the militia they are by killing woman and children in the homes and unlive them.... Then the Nigeria state will cover the stories with their media. Thank God for social media like X as that the only place such can be posted and goes viral for the world to see. If you post here on RU-vid or Facebook or Instagram it will be taken down immediately as govt pays this apps to help them sensitised the media air as not to allow those videos gi viral.

I feel insulted when the present day Israel try to vet us Igbo people. We should be the ones vetting Israel. I am an Igbo man and our practises suggest we are an older Hebrew tribe. Its like a child(present day Israel) trying to claim he is the source of his fathers ancestry. All Igbo traditions are old Hebraic practises. The Bible even speaks of the direct effect of Gods actions towards his children...part of which is that they would be sold to slavery. Slavery did not happen to the present day Israel. The prophesies of the last days affect the lands where the Igbos inhabit currently, more than it does the state of Israel. Every-time the state of Israel has been attacked, there is a spiritual attack on the Igbos in Nigeria. Our culture and traditions have been there since way before the British came to Africa. It is quite insulting to say the British brought Judaism to us. Its actually the other way around...The British stole Judaism and aspects of tested civilization from us. They took part of our culture and made it a religion. Judaism is not our religion. It is our culture. The British came and traded Christianity to us calling even more of our deep Hebraic practises uncivilized. To suggest that Britain "taught us Judaism" is crazy and annoying. Go and read about the escapades of British generals that touched on Eastern Nigeria. We are grandparents of the present day Israel.

They have already been confirmed as direct descendants of the Israelites. As such, Rabbis have been actively trying to convert them to Judaism away from their Israelite heritage. And they have had some success at this, with Igbo’s and Lemba tribes. Remember, there is a difference between being Israelite and being a Jew who practices Judaism. To be Israelite is a bloodline lineage as descended from Jacob and the 12 tribes, and are the Chosen people. Judaism however, is a religion in its simplest form. And this author has it incorrect in one point: One isn’t an Israelite who keeps Jewish customs. The customs originated with the Israelites. So the Jews are keeping Israelite customs, and NOT the other way around. This is VERY IMPORTANT to understand.

Haiti was the only country helped the igbo people from Biafra after the war and took more than 15000 Igbo people to haiti give them shelter, food and social status. In the southwest of Haïti ( grand-Anse, Jeremie) I am one of them. We were all worshipping the same deity with Avraim until today. Akobi(Yaakov) known as ours forefathers. We called ourselves IGBO LELE Igbo, Bantu, Yeruba, dahoméen, Congo, kwamboka, Ashanti, Edo, seree, peules and Mandingue were the native chosen people on mount horeb. The true so- called Israelites now but the real name were Akobites, offspring of Yzaka(Isaak) I am a rabbi. Directly from LEVE (Levi) tribe and yeruda the truth Igbos and Yeruba native bloodline.

From that day you will believe or know that igbos are the Real Israelite.

Back to my root and i have now found peace as it is my root... See there is a rebirth happening now after covid, my people are waking up as we dont mix our religion with culture. Our culture over see every religion and now Judaism have been known with our pure culture untapped.

Like Israeli Jews, Igbos are LOATHED. Igbos are an independent-minded, industrious, enterprising and brave people that fear no one. These attributes attract jealousy and hatred towards them. During the era of prime minister Yitzhak Rabin, he commissioned an inquest into the Jewish origin of Igbos. The Rabbi's that came were convinced of the Jewish origin of Igbos but upon returning to Israel with the report, no recognition came out of it. The report was essentially buried.

Ancient Israel lands are west Africa and America not Palestine. The Igbo are Hebrew through and through. Asking the Igbo to convert to Jewish is an insult because we are the true ancient Israel who wete taken out of their lands during the Assyrian empire and taken to the Levant. We are the same people who sre spoken about in Deuteronomy 28:68 as we erre taken into Egypt America been USA in ships from Bight of Biafra something European jews can not point as their experience according to the book. We and our brothers in Kongo and the true Israel and will not beg to be identified as Hebrew because we are the people of the book by nature and facts.

As a sephardic jew, this is something I criticize about the israeli jewish system, mostly the rabbinic and orthodox part of it. It has become so closed and politicized, so strict and absurd, that instead of welcoming and sharing our heritage, it has blocked access to many members to form part of the community. That's precisely why for some people, jews around the world are viewed as racists and xenophobic. This mentality needs to change if we want to make a sense of logic between what we say and what we do.

Thanks to the content creator. This is a topic most Igbos can identify with. I was privileged to grow up in the homes of a grandfather and an uncle both of whom were not Christian. I participated in some of their rituals; including those for atonement and special feasts. Although the word then was that we were Israelite, I did not develop any real interest in the subject matter until high school where I read Leon Uris', Exodus. I've since discovered on an ancient map the spot where a particular Igbo community may have lived. It's in Samaria. There are also practices we engage in as Omenana which can only have come from the sojourn in Egypt. I sincerely believe that at least one of our many practices was instituted by Moses, himself. And that his descendants and those of Aaron are alive and well in Igboland. But, first things first; we must get Biafra and everything else shall be revealed. Daalu nu! Ka, I nu!!

I have to say that there were differences between Jews and Christians in the nineteenth century. So, if the Igbo had Jewish practices, they got those from Jews, not Christians.

Of course recognition from the State of Israel is a tricky thing, as there are already so many Rabbinic laws governing who is Jewish 'enough' to do certain things, like get married. A new lost tribe will need to really prove that they are Israelites. (Im not talking about this case, but any and all future cases)

Hi!!! I would like to share something very precious with you ; John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” 💕 We have all sinned against God (lying, stealing, dishonoring parents, having other gods, coveting, adultery, murdering, not keeping the Sabbath, taking Gods name in vain, and making graven images) which means we are deserving of Gods wrath and we are on our way to death and hell. But because God loves us, If anyone repents and places their faith in the Lord Jesus, they will be saved. Salvation is from Gods grace through faith. Jesus is the Son of God and He is One with God. He came to the earth and paid the price for sins by being crucified on a cross for us to atone for us. He is sinless, He didn’t deserve to die but He did it so that those who place their faith in Him will be saved through Him. He rose from the dead on the third day after His death so that we too will be raised to eternal life who are in Him. The Bible is Gods word. Jesus is the promised Messiah, He was predicted many times in the Old Testament. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John in the New Testament in the Bible are all about it Jesus’s life and teachings. Jesus is the lamb who was slain for us. Through Him we can have the forgiveness of sins. John 3:18 “Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. Luke 24:36-49 Jesus Appears to the Disciples after His Resurrection 36 While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” 37 They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost. 38 He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? 39 Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.” 40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. 41 And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and he took it and ate it in their presence. 44 He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.” 45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. 46 He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, 47 and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. 49 I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.” He saved me, changed the direction of my life, He helps me daily, He has shown me mercy and forgiveness, and He has given me a lasting hope. God bless you ❤

I believe what Igbos really need will be brotherly, cultural, economic cooperation with the Jewish nation, the land of our ancestors. In Nigeria, Igbos have land that is uncontested. I don't believe there is any need abandoning good land. To make matters serious, Igboland has many natural resources, and is very rich in oil and gas. In fact, Igboland has more gas reserves than any other country in Africa. It makes sense for the Israelite people to still keep hold of these treasures. It was obviously given to us by G-d.
