Very true indeed. But who but the original American Indians had their stories start in the USA?

​@@adimchionyenadum2962the aboriginals of the western hemisphere did not originate here. They just immigrated here at an earlier date. Everybody came from the East.

I don’t think that’s true , if you say Igbo are Luos then you mean Luos are part of the lost tribe of Israel . That will be incorrect. Luos are Nilotes , Nilotes were part of the kingdom of Kush. Kush was the son of Ham. Just because the name of Igbo starts with O does not mean they are Luos. The Igbo, Luo culture is different, for example Luos never used to circumcise because that was not the culture but Igbo do

rubbish... humans originated from the east african region.... israel had nothing to do with that... give us all a break... inferiority the bane of the african existence.... why do we think jews and christianity is the origin of all things.. stop it already... we existed before christ...

The Igbo are Israelites.

Based on my years of research, BP in the Americas are the Israelites and the Indigenous Black Americans. Africans were not helping to sell their own people. They were selling the Israelites. Most Israelites are still in Africa. Approximately 300,000 Israelites came from Africa and approximately 25,000 came from Europe. The rest of the Black people were already here.

Same here

I greet you brother. It might interest you to learn that Ibibio originally was 'ibe ibo' meaning 'fellow Ibo". It was possibly turned to Ibibio further down the line. Igbo descendants from Gad are scattered all over but all held on to their culture which should explain the similarities you speak off. It's all interesting. Keep digging.

​@@SankofaPanAfricanSeries hello, you didn't consider the part of history that link the igbos to ile-Ife. I read somewhere that they came from there. That their brothers left behind are the ugbo people in ondo state today. Even the ooni says something similar. Kindly do a research, thanks

​@@heyniranI do not think the Igbos have any links by blood with the Yorubas. What the Ooni may be trying to say is that some Igbo people used to live in Ile Ife and environs and when some of them left their relatives left behind continued to live in some parts of Yorubaland and their descendants are still there today and are now merged into the Yoruba community. The Ooni has a valid point by insinuating that because one of my friends who hails from the Midwestern Ibo area told me that in some Midwestern Ibo villages some Yoruba settlements were in various towns, their descendants are still in the midwestern Ibo areas today but are now from there today. God bless.

Other similarities are: 1). The birth-right bonanza. The first born male takes everything. The rest can go manage themselves! (See the story of Jacob and Esau for comparison in Genesis 25:27-43 and 27:1-40) In the Igbo tradition, the first-born inherits the greater and the best portion of everything, including the family's house and name. He is the head of the family and the one who continues the family's name. The other males become heads of the own families and their first-born(s) inherit them. Anybody with any knowledge of the Old Testament (OT) cannot but marvel at the striking replication. 2). The Igbos give philosophical names to their children. There is no Igbo name without a deep meaning. Just like the OT Israelites, the Igbos use the naming of their children to express their hopes, desires, fears, aspirations, grief etc, or for keeping records, history, etc. 3). Maybe the Igbos are the only other people in the world apart from the two Abrahamic religions, Judaism and Islam, that believe in one God who created everything. The Igbo word for God is "Chineke", meaning God the creator. Wow! There are many more similarities, but these are enough for now. Peace to All. Shalom!

Lol. The Luo are no more intelligent than any other tribe in Kenya.

You are like Igbos of Nigeria. The British said that only 3 groups of people they can't subdued: The Igbos, the Luo of Kenya, the Irish. In Nigeria they do everything through their usual games to make sure that Igbos doesn't rule in Nigeria and that's why Nigeria been going backwards but that is about to change now as Peter Obi is on top now contesting for presidency. The Luo people should fight to get power and set Kenya the way to forwardness. If you are too intelligent they will prefer not to allow you in power because of their selfish interests.

That is the problem of kenya we always reduce ourselves to our mini tribal differences. My ancestral land was in rabai, it does not matter.

@@RealityStand Your thinking is the problem.

Igbos are believed to be one of the tribes of Israel. An Igbo lady told me an ancient Igbo tradition whereby if a married woman fails to bear children, a maiden is brought to the household to facilitate this. And this was the Biblical tradition of the Israelites. The channel Truthunedited is currently doing an interesting series on the History of the Israelites.

@@SankofaPanAfricanSeries I am a Luo of Kenya. Luos are Nilotes who have further been classified as River and Lake Nilotes due to their nature of migration and settlement along the River Nile and at the shores of Lake Victoria. According to oral literature among our people, supported by historical texts, the Igbo and the Nilotes have a common ancestor, Sin Akuru Kuku Lubanga, a contemporary of the Akkadian Empire(in Babylon) before it's collapse during the time of Naram-sin. We are believed to be the "Lost" tribe of Gad who together with Asher, Dan and Naphtali migrated to Kush (present day Sudan and Ethiopia). Sin Akuru was the father of Imbo, Podho, Loiletuk Dhiang', Odongo Bokmoni among others. Podho the father of all Luo's, Odongo Bokmoni the father of the Highland Nilotes and Loiletuk Dhiang' the father of Plain Nilotes. However, Imbo was their half brother who left and went West while the rest went South, following the Nile. Among the Luo's, the direction of West is known as Imbo. It is not known whether the name Imbo evolved over time from Igbo or Imbo evolved in West Africa to become Igbo.

A huge part of Kenyan Luos ancestors were Bantu, meaning were related to West Africans especially South Eastern Nigerians. The luyha are a Bantu group similar to the Luo. Both have Nilotic and Bantu ancestry but one took the Nilotic language while the other kept the Bantu one. See how more "pure" Nilotes like the Dinka are taller, darker, lanker with more specific features and looks way less Bantu/West African oriented than Kenyan Luo

The Igbos are not Nilotes and have no connection to Luos who're Nilotes.

Many tribes in East Africa, notably the Ateker group of tribes, eg Lango, Teso, have it in their oral history that they descended from Ancient Israel. The Iteso say that they descended from Joseph's lineage and migrated southwards via River Nile. The Langi have it in their oral history that they descended from Israel, migrated via Ethiopia onwards to Uganda. That's why today there are some tribes in Ethiopia related to the Langi/Luos ie the Shiluk. Check out the channel Truthunedited. He's currently doing a series (History of Israel) on the true Israelites.

My pleasure

The Lady almost got everything correct but for the following three misconceptions: (i) MISCONCEPTION ABOUT IGBO MAP: it is absolute fallacy for the lady or any other to create the impression that Igbos live in South East region of Nigeria. It is a fallacy propagated by Yoruba and Fulani to shrink the geographical spread of Igbos. Do we not have indigenous Ikwerre Igbos, Ndoni Igbos, through Ogba Igbos up to Bonny and Opobo Igbos? (ii) MISCONCEPTION ABOUT THE INFLUENCE OF NRI KINGDOM IN IGBO LAND: Just like Europeans have a misconception about the statelessness of Igbo people, the Lady has a misconceptiob about the extent of the influence of Nri Kingdom in ancient and contemporary Igbo land. The only interaction between Nri Kingdom and other Igbo Kingdoms is by way of the OZO TITLE. That is all!. Just as we have it today, ozo title is voluntary on the person who is interested. Usually those that are interested are rich to afford the life of an ozo titleholder. The Nri influence is therefore limited to the extent a few wealthy people take the Ozo title. The Ozo titleholders are not kings so they have no influence on others whatsoever. The two issues that I pointed out above are importaant to clarify to ensure that readers who do not have any familiarity witrh Igbo land do not end up believing that the Nri Kingdom ran a STATEHOOD in Igbo land. It is incorrect. All kingdoms of Igbo land believe in peace but the peace was not patrolled by Nri Kingdom but the common culture of ostracizing/banishing people that broke cultural norms of a particular kingdom. (iii) MISCONCEPTION ABOUT NRI KINGDOM SHRINKING DUE TO EXPANSION OF BINI KINGDOM: This is a fallacy. I challenge the lady or any other persons to provide proof that Nri Kingdom lost influence or territory to Bini Kingdom. If the lady or any other would not provide such proof, then the lady should not be spreading such fallacy. Again, as I explained in Point (ii) above, the Nri Kingdom's interaction with other Igbo kingdoms/communities was by way of the Ozo titleship. That is all. Therefore Nri kingdom did not lose any influence or territory to Bini Kingdom. Meanwhile, it should be noted that Bini Kingdom did not advance to the East/Igbo land; there were interactions, cultural and otherwise, but Bini Kingdom did not conquer any parts of Igbo land. In contrast, the Bini Kingdom conquered and occupied large parts of Yoruba land till the Islamic invasion of Fulbe/Fulanis and colonial Portugal/Britain invaded Yoruba land.

Me I disagree on the Obi of Onicha's account of Jewish origin, because if Igbo's were truely Jewish they should had had one of their basic traditional believes.(like circumcision 4 days after birth ) on the Ozo traditional believes she is 💯 correct we practice it in ourside but it's called Alor . On the demise of the Nri Kingdom she's very correct their power reduced because of something at a point their powerful control faded away something might had made reduce . Remember in AGBOR in Delta State some the people had EDO names mixed with their previous names or identity. What made them change names or mixed name's Something happened and that is exactly what she was saying, about other tribal incursions. The incursions of Edo and lgala tribesmen or slave raiders.

I am talking about West African knowledge before Obodo corrupted us.

I think you make sense, the focus is on Nri or Ehri. It is there that he met some locals when he got to the land. Who are those that Nri met on the land? They might be the Real Igbos. I believe Igbos, Yorubas, Ijaws etc are where God created them. Some foreign idiots came into their midst and writing their history to suit his mission. I believe strongly that Igbos have been in existence before Eri comes. The people were not enlightened to document their story, it is the stranger that is making history for them. DNA do not support this claim. Many unpublished DNA testing have been carried out by Israeli which am aware of in the Eastern part of Nigeria. None of them shows any evidence or link with the Jews. The people were not enlightened to document their history QED.

@@lindaroy2321 Sad as it may be, it has been our problem since time immemorial in West Africa that the people who are considered wise beyond words were Sharmans and Charlatans😆😆😆.

In short, everything that exists in a so-called democratic society we had it! Yet we did not write down our own Magna Carta. It's almost unfair, tbh.

@@jamessmith8049 Exactly, In all the stories that these foreigners write about African people, you notice that the new so call founder met some people that are nice that receive them and accommodate them on arrival. In the case of Yoruba for example, Oduduwa met people at Ile Ife when he arrived there. Well organised people, it was when their leader died and Oduduwa have joined them to fight their enemy on few occasions that Oracle choose Oduduwa. He became the king and change the history. I believe Eri did the same thing. Oduduwa children are the paramount kings in Yorubaland today. Only few indigenous who are not from Oduduwa dynasty are kings. That is why the kings in Yorubaland were heavily involved in slave trade, till today, they are always at odds with the people. They don't feel ashamed to sell the people because they are not related. See how they trade Nnamdi Kanu for Jeeps. If the real history can be learned through some oracle or traditional way Ok, but if we have to depend on inputs from any of the invaders, we will never know the truth.

Please don't say igbo,say ngwa, I have heard of this before, my own community in Anambra State being Ozubulu migrated from Ubulu uku in present day Delta state, this migration doesn't represent every Igbo community in general just mine.

Truly interesting. As an Igbo, I have always been baffled by the similarity of Igbo names with those of many East African names, ranging from Kenya to South Africa. I arbitrarily concluded that these were contemporary Igbos who had migrated and settled in these countries. As is well known, there is no country under the sun that you won't find the highly industrious Igbos. For instance, we were only two black people, and I was Igbo, in the European city I settled in almost 50 years ago as a young student.

I am a Luo from Kenya. According to oral literature among our people supported by historical texts, the Igbo and the Nilotes have a common ancestor, Sin Akuru Kuku Lubanga, a contemporary of the Akkadian Empire(in Babylon) before it's collapse during the time of Naram-sin. We are believed to be the "Lost" tribe of Gad who together with Asher, Dan and Naphtali migrated to Kush. Sin Akuru was the father of three: Imbo, Podho and Odongo Bokmoni. Podho the father of all Luo's, Odongo Bokmoni the father of the Highland and Plain Nilotes. However, Imbo was their half brother who left and went West while the rest went South, following the Nile. Among the Luo's, the direction of West is known as Imbo. It is not known whether the name Imbo evolved over time from Igbo or Imbo evolved in West Africa to become Igbo. There are similarities I've come to learn from this video though. The Igbo, just like their Nilotic brothers who settled along the Nile, settled along river Niger. I also notice that the hat worn by Igbo chiefs is similar to that worn by Luo chiefs, with the only difference being the material used to make them. We use beads in stead. The Luo's also were and still are skillful blacksmiths.

Not everyone in Africa came out of Israel but some people from Israel fled to parts of Africa when they faced wars and captivity. Ham and Shem were brothers. Seed of Abraham had a connection with Egypt though his son Ishmael and Joshua son of Jacob(Israel). Solomon and The Queen of Sheba, who’s empire spread from Ethiopia to Southeast Asia.

Igbos speakers aren't Bantu speakers, they're a sister group. They do have assimilated Bantoid related groups though such as the Ibibio. The nsibidi script isn't originally Igbo for example, it's Ibibio/Efik

@@mikailm6934 stated "Proto Bantu", it means the Igbos and modern day Bantus, could possibly trace their origins to a common ancestry. The Bantus, came from a close lineage to Igbos, but are not direct descendants.

@@MKRex Proto Bantu means Bantu founders or direct ancestors. For example when people are trying to reconstruct proto bantu language, Igbo isn't included since it's outside of the Bantu domain. It's simply a sister group. That being said, Igbos are more related to Bantus since they expanded east and assimilated bantoid groups such as the ibibio, efik. It explains why they're culturally closer to bantoid groups from Biafra than they are to Yorubas despite being linguistically closer to the latter. The Nsibidi script for example is originally Efik and they transmitted it to Igbos

@@mikailm6934 Language families have nothing to do with genetic ancestry. With migrations and time, languages change, are replaced or outright extinct. Using languages as facsimile, in the age of genetic advances, is obsolete. That being said, linguistically, Igbos share more in common with Bantus, East and central Africans, than they do with Sub Saharan West Africans, like the Yoruboid, Ga, Akan, Mende, Fon or even Nilo Saharans, like the Hausas or Fulas. The moniker Proto-Bantu, does not mean direct, but benchmark in similarities. No one is claiming that Igbos are the direct ancestors of Bantus, but a sister group, of sorts.

@@MKRex it does in the sense that a language familly or group is originally spoken by a group of closely related people before being transmited to other people but I never mentioned genetics, I talked about culture. I got you but you shouldn't use proto bantu to describe Igbos as their language isn't bantoids. It's like describing cushitic as proto semitic

Maybe you didnt see your Ukwuani clan in the Igbo map she showed in this presentation. Ogwanri is Ogwashi which is expressed in Ukwuani as eshi. When we say eshi ngbe or as someone from Anambra will say ke ngbe eri. It refers to the initiation of time. Because Eri or Eshi was the one to put things together. In all the communities that subscribed to the Nri influence, they start with creating an Ani shrine which is the basis for the system of taboos or nso that the system uses in enforcing social, cultural and religious order. It forbids the shedding of human blood and instituted animal sacrifices for cleansing

Remember that Mungo Park had sailed the River Niger to Onitsha, probably the first European to do that.

@@jamejonesiii5473 you still never understand the Igbos .Concerning the civil war ? We all know what caused it ,it's not hidden .That a few military crazy men did what they did doesn't warrant you to start killing innocent people wherever you find them just because they're Igbo. And you didn't stop there, you seized all they have and gave them 20£ .As if that is not enough, you starved their little children in millions and you didn't stop there , you swore never to let them rule the country you forced them back to and still you complain when they cry .Bro abeg checkam na

@@edwardibeh5267 Edward please let us not talk about the civil war I am 60 year old I am from IBUSA Delta State please there one advise I always give to most people you really don't understand what happened please let us leave all these talks okay. My family members were part of it so I understand it very well all am asking from everyone is if we don't forget and forgive we will never move forward a lot of innocent people suffered the civil war . That's my humble advise. Please it's the best way out.

Exactly!

IF you have ears, HEAR! ...THE TIME IS AT HAND.... REPENT AND FOLLOW THE COMMANDMENTS AND LIVE, STUDY KJV BIBLE TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THE COMMANDMENTS (GOD AND THE WORDS OF GOD)...don't be distracted nor deceived!...neither religion, nor rosaries, nor wealth, nor earthly achievements, nor Vaccinations, nor any tradition can save you! *Please, don't bend my teaching to strengthen your own understanding. I only teach strictly THE 10 COMMANDMENTS (GOD AND THE WORDS OF GOD), not Christianity nor Islam nor any other religion* Again It is written; The message of THE 10 COMMANDMENTS (GOSPEL) will be preached in all the world for a *WITNESS* against you. Therefore, don't love your own life to your grave; FOLLOW THE 10 COMMANDMENTS, creator of the earth and everything in it, and live.

We Igbos don't see it that way the brain used in those technologies was done in Africa but we have belief that migration took place and we have links to Isreal. Today we are proudly Africas. It is like saying that Humanity started from Africa and spread the world so indirectly white people originated from Africa but today they are not known as Africans but Europeans. So Igbos and their technology is credited to Africa and not Isreal.

@@RealityStand, make up your mind. The founder of your tribe was a white jew, right? And the city where the technology was found is named after him, no? We can safely say the technology is middle eastern-influenced. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Could the light skin tone in your tribe come from the white jew who founded your tribe? I think so. Any genetic study supporting your white jew origin? " It is like saying that Humanity started from Africa '' Not the same thing. People that left Africa evolved into other races and evolved genetically. That was around 200 000 yrs ago. Jews are younger than 4000 years old. The white Jewish paternal lineage that gave rise to the Igbos ought to be very common in your tribe.

Education is key

You got it wrong. The Aros and indeed, the entire Igbos were all subjects of the Nri kingdom. Nri's influence appears diminished in some Igbo areas because they don't carry out military intervention or force their subjects to pay tributes. Nevertheless, they have strong spiritual and cultural hold on the entire Igbo land. For one, the initiation of every cultural and social activities in most villages, like the coronation of kings, the announcement and adoption of calenders, the cleansing of the land and so many cultural practices that are uniquely Igbo, are all entirely, predicated on or are preceded by the announcement of the Eze Nri', without whose authority the activities can not happen. Even the Aros acknowledges their sacredness and their authority not just, by the fact that only the Nri indigens, the Oka's and of course, the entire indigens of the Aro nation state themselves, are exempt from being traded in slavery in the olden days, but also, I believe, by the that none of their neighbours or any other Igbo groups for that matter, are able to prosecute wars against them without retribution from other Igbo groups. So, whereas, the Aro influence is renowned for justice, the Nri's are recognized for their spiritual authority and ancient influence all over the Igboland, Aro nations inclusive. And like the Nri, the Aro's influence in Igbo land was similarly, not propagated through warfare but through the exception of justice, Nevertheless, their influence is much more diminished and are still subject to the Nri's influence which is why they are still an integral part of the Igboland despite their close proximity to an obviously strong militant neighbouring Efik kingdom.

@@uzzyvick That is not true.Nri never rule over any community in Igboland and their influence in southern and eastern part of Igboland is almost zero.Nri Kingdom is what we read in internet most of us never knew about its existence.

@@morganleonard5280 the truth is we Igbo are vac and nobody can tell our story better than us, The is a culture we preserved call yifor, it's used to reprint our tall from 900 Ad, Madam you know Nri based on education please puse you don't get the story, look for an old Igbo man that participated in yifor to teach you a little. Thank you ma for bringing up the story.

@@anthonydavid6974 I am a man not a woman.What is Yifor,btw I am an Igboman and above 50 years of age you can't teach Igbo history.

Hey bro, what is wrong with you? The Igbos historical land started from Badagari(Lagos), across Ile ife, Ijebu, bini, (Benin) to Igwe ocha(port Harcourt) . They are the oldest inhabitants of Nigeria.
