The Igbo are found primarily in the thickly forested southeastern region of Nigeria, especially on the eastern side of the lower River Niger. They are known in Nigeria for their dominance of Nigerian commerce, and generally as a merchant class with hedonism as their main goal. They want to be regarded worldwide as pre-eminent, and thus frequently beat their chests about their population, material wealth and ingenuity. They like to see themselves as valiant, and this is so when money is the target; wealth is perceived as an end but not a means, except in the acquisition of more wealth. They have acquired notoriety for their vainglorious posturing and use of ingenuity in serving negative purposes – profiteering by means no matter how abhorrent.
Prior to Nigerian independence in 1960 they were known not to have kings except perhaps for the Obi (from Oba: king) of Onitsha, hence the common saying: “Ibo enwero eze” (the Igbo has no king). Individual towns, clans and families see themselves as independent as they are very clannish. They are also known to look down on other peoples, hardly integrating with their hosts though also feigning friendliness. Not surprisingly foreigners see little motivation in investing and residing in their homeland. Indeed the name of one of their most prominent settlements, Onitsha, is said to be derived from Onini (to despise) and Ncha (others), meaning “one who despises others.” Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, former Nigerian president and Igbo leader, even described the attitude as supercilious.
Nnamdi Azikiwe: My Genealogy and Nativity
“Thus, in tracing my paternal lineage, I could say that both parents of my father are direct descendants of Eze Chima. As for me, I can trace my paternal ancestry in this wise: I am the first son of Chukwuemeka, who was the third child and first son of Azikiwe, who was the second son of Molokwu, who was the third son of Ozomaocha, who was the second son of Inosi Onira, who was the fourth son of Dei, the second son of Eze Chima, the founder of Onitsha.”
SOURCE – Nnamdi A zikiwe: My Odyssey, Chapter I (Spectrum Books, 1970) “My Genealogy and Nativity” p4“I can trace my maternal ancestry thus: I am the first son of Nwanonaku Rachel Chinwe Ogbenyeanu (Aghadiuno)Azikiwe, who was third daughter of Aghadiuno Ajie, the fifth son of Onowu Agbani, first daughter of Obi Udokwu, the son who descended from five Kings of Onitsha. Five of these rulers of Onitsha were direct lineal descendants of Eze Chima, who led his warrior adventurers when they left Benin to establish the Onitsha city state in about 1748 AD.
” SOURCE – Nnamdi Azikiwe: My Odyssey, Chapter I (Spectrum Books, 1970) “My Genealogy and Nativity” p5“One day I asked her (grandmother) the meaning of the word ‘Onitsha’. She explained that it had historical significance. The terminology meant one who despised another. It is a contraction of two words, Onini to despise, and Ncha meaning others. So that the two words when joined together mean one who despises others. Then I asked her why we despised others. She patted me on the back and told me that it was due to our aristocratic background and tradition. I insisted that she should explain to me the basis of this supercilious social attitude. She told me that we despised others because we descended from the Royal House of Benin and so regarded ourselves as the superiors of other tribes who had no royal blood in their veins, “
“I continued to belabor my grandmother to tell me more of the history and origins of the Onitsha people. She narrated that many many years ago, there lived at Idu (Benin) a great Oba who had many children. Due to a power struggle regarding the right of precedence among princes of the blood and other altercations, there was a civil war in Benin. One day, the supporters of one of the princes insulted and assaulted Queen Asije, the mother of of the Oba of Benin, who was accused of having trespassed on their farmland. Enraged at this evidence of indiscipline and lawlessness, the Oba ordered his war chief and brother, Gbunwala Asije to apprehend and punish the insurgents. In the attempt to penalise them, Chima, the ultimate founder of the Onitsha city-state, a prince of the blood in his own right, led the recalcitrants against his Uncle, Gbunwala. This intensified the civil war which rent the kingdom of Benin in two and led to the founding of Onitsha Ado N’Idu, , ” “As the great trek from Benin progressed, some did not have the stout heart of the pioneer-warrior, and decided to settle at different places, known today as Onitsha -Ugbo, Onitsha-Olona, Onitsha-Mili, Obior, Issele Ukwu, Ossomari, Aboh, etc,

Disputable Foundations
The Igbo people have recently been claiming to be the oldest ethnic nationality in Nigeria, and they point to the dating of certain artifacts in their domain. However, records have it that after a rebellion in 1748 in the Edo kingdom which they started they left in a great migration southwards and eastwards to found new territories. The people of Onitsha remember the ancient name of Edo as Idu (the Greeks referred to Idu as Idumea), and their first king, EzeChima, was called the Obi, which is derived from Ọba, the title of Yoruba and Edo kings. The people of Ekpeye and Agboh also acknowledge that they came from Edo. Therefore, since some Igbo domains admit that they branched out from Edo, it is very possible that all Igbo peoples descended from Edo. Similarly, they admit that they took some historical artefacts with them when leaving Edo; dating such would produce dates as old as the Edo kingdom from which the Igbo branched out. In addition, they do not have any king list that stretches back beyond 1748. They have also not been able to come up with any commonly agreed to account of their history apart from that of the migration from Edo. Curiously, it was when they began to travel to other parts of Nigeria upon colonization by the British slave masters during which they got to know about the rich traditions of other Nigerian peoples that they began to put forth their dubious claims. However, in their quest for attention plus their innate self-glorification, they would not openly admit these inconsistencies as it would deflate their claims to being the ancestors of other Nigerian ethnic nationalities like the Igala, Idoma, and Yoruba amongst others.
According to many of them, a certain Eri was their ancestor, upon noticing that someone of the same name in the Bible is the son of Gad (Numbers 26:16) who is one of the sons of Jacob, they believe that they are of Israel. They also talk of another, Nri as another ancestor. However, since it is known that Igbo came out of Edo which is Edom, and that there should be names in Edo that are similar to Israel, it is very possible that there are similar names in Igbo. Consequently, the Igbo could have descended from an Edo individual named Eri. Unsurprisingly there once lived a certain Edo ruler called Ere (16 to 66 CE) of the Ogiso dynasty who has been regarded by his people as the most popular and wisest of all the Ogiso. Nnamdi Azikiwe of Onitsha had also admitted that his Igbo people, especially Onitsha, descended from the Edo royalty. It is immediately obvious that the names Ere, Eri and Nri are extremely similar but for intonation and spelling. The Igbo have a knack for selective amnesia.
This supercilious attitude is also seen in their individual lives as many give themselves names like Obi (king) and Eze (king) as each wants to be respected.
Before seeking association with Israel they said Igbo is translated as: ndi na EGBO mkpa or ‘those who solve problems’. Nevertheless, many Nigerians, after noticing that the Igbo look down on them terribly, have translated Igbo as:
I = I or I = I
G = GO B = BEFORE
B = BEFORE O = OTHERS
O = OTHERS

- Origin of Delta Igbo indisputable
Craving for human flesh
In the early part of the 20th century, G.T. Basden, a European anthropologist, noted in his book titled “Among the Ibos of Nigeria” that the reaction of the people to meat scarcity in their homeland manifested as widespread cannibalism in which both men and women fully and freely partook. The only restraint was the common agreement not to eat members of one’s own community. Human flesh was seen as a very important component of their diet, very nutritious, and necessary for the cannibals to develop sexy and muscular physiques and a strong mentality of bravery. Unlike some other African communities like the Fang that ate prisoners of war (POWs) to insult their enemies, the Igbo people saw human flesh as the choicest meat though they usually boasted to their enemies that “beware, lest we eat you.”
In addition, there was the title of Ogbu-madu (man killer) to which they attached high importance and sought to attain. A man after capturing another whether fairly or not, would give his young son a cutlass and encourage him to cut off the head of the victim which was needed as evidence. The son would then be given the title.
All POWs were eaten, corpses were bought from middle-men for feasts, human skins were used for drums, amongst others. This craving was so bad that the authorities had to deal with several reports of thefts of recently buried corpses. Heads were reserved for the community leaders – outside of their homeland they express their love for consuming isi ewu (goat head); and they even derogatively refer to Yoruba people as ofemanu (red oily brain). Slaves were purchased in numbers for feasts. Olaudah Equiano, a well known Igbo former trans-Atlantic slave, noted in his memoirs that when he was captured in his homeland he concluded that his flesh was going to be eaten.
On the human flesh preference, G.T. Basden noted the following:
- Solid meat – loin cuts, ribs and rump steak
- Tidbits – liver, hearts and brains; identical taste with ‘those of other animals’
- Choicest tidbits – knuckles
Expert kidnappers
The extent of their cannibalism points to little value for human life since men were seen more as meat than fellows, leading to the acquisition of expertise in kidnapping. When they learnt of the fortune they could make from the sale of their fellow men in the trans-Atlantic slave trade, money displaced cannibalism which had earlier displaced human life in their social priorities, as they began kidnapping themselves to fulfill their craving to be seen as wealthy. The end of the overseas export of slaves meant a closure of an avenue to wealth but many Nigerians, even after Nigerian independence in 1960 still suspected that Igbo cannibalism never stopped. However, when the Igbo noticed that the Niger Delta militants who used kidnap as an avenue to seek redress for rape and environmental degradation were getting success, they revived it as an industry. Right now their homeland is tremendously notorious as they kidnap themselves for ransom almost at will and, to the annoyance of other Nigerians, have been shamelessly perpetrating the act outside of Igboland, even in northern Nigeria where Islam is taken seriously. It is no surprise that they have been the target of terrorist Islamic groups like Boko Haram and repeatedly chased away from and slaughtered in the north, yet they play the victim card and refuse to accept that they have been historical provocateurs. Presently, bandy what they suppose to be actual figures of the sizes of various African populations that were carried away during the slave trade which show that a huge proportion were Igbo and thus boast openly; an attempt to claim fatherhood of African-American slave descendants. Perhaps they are declaring to the world that these numbers are proof of their unmatched expertise at kidnapping!
Morphology
Physically, the Igbo can be identified using certain peculiar features as markers which make them stand out wherever they travel, making them easy targets for brutal attacks by their aggrieved hosts. Somehow the Igbo have refused to note them, thus exposing themselves to such attacks over and over again:
- Males and females appear quite hairy compared to other nearby West African peoples. Their women are noted for their plentiful facial hair (including moustaches and beards) and chest hair – perhaps due to high testosterone levels. Just as yam consumption by the Yoruba has been linked to their world-leading twinning rates, a constituent of the Igbo diet e.g. cocoyam might be linked to the hair preponderance. A genetic factor may also responsible.
- Their skin tone ranges from very light (like that of Mediterranean Europeans) to REDDISH to dark brown (many have pointed to the light complexions as indicators of Igbo racial superiority over others, of being a chosen people, and of being one with the fake jews who are of the synagogue of Satan. Unlike other Nigerian nationalities, they are the ones notorious for claiming to have the most handsome men, most beautiful women, best this and best that; quite reminiscent of white supremacists, false Zionism, Nazi ideology, and apartheid. Piebald patches and albinism have also been reported.
- Both males and females have muscular physiques, and many women have manly-looking biceps, shoulders and calves (cannibalism was tremendously encouraged to attain such looks).
- There is the suspicion amongst their neighbours that they engage or used to engage in head-shaping of their infants, an attempt to explain the presence in their population of what appears as near flatness and corners at the rear of their skulls.
- Their skin, especially of the women, takes on a peculiar textural appearance as they get past their 60s.
- Among Igbo men from, say, 30 years of age and above, the maxilla, that is, the part of the face between the nostrils and the upper lip where the moustache grows to the left and right of the philtrium, appears to take on a bulging shape giving that part of the face a larger surface area like the shape of one-half of a coconut, compared to that of other Nigerian peoples. This feature is easily identified as most shave their moustaches completely. I call it the IGBO MAXILLA.

The Secret Relationship between Biblical Edom and Igbo
Similarities
Hairy and reddish: The Igbo are widely known for their hairy- and reddish-looking men and women, just as Esau (Genesis 25:25).
Inborn Fondness for red: In Nigeria where the Igbo homeland is situated they are the largest producers and retailers of palm oil which is reddish, and are the largest cultivators of the palm tree from which the oil is expracted. Their traditional attires are not complete if the red colour is excluded as seen in the pictures below. Esau’s fondness for the red colour was the reason he was called Edom.

Three Igbo men [http://www.nairaland.com/download/341335]
Living by the sword/cutlass/machete: In line with the blessing pronounced by Ajaka (Yoruba for Isaac) that Esau will live by the sword (Genesis 26:40), the Igbo people are associated with the cutlass and machete with which they frequently threaten at times by scratching wildly across the ground, and at times hack themselves (at times into pieces).
Materialism: Just as Esau did not value his birthright but sold it for something (food) perishable, the Igbo people have acquired a reputation for pursuing perishable wealth by any means necessary, even diabolical, without valuing human life.
Little spiritual understanding: Just as Esau preferred hunting game and other cares of the world (see Book of Jasher) to learning from Abraham how to walk with Yehve, the Igbo people prefer to encourage themselves as mercantile entrepreneurs while boasting about their wealth and wealth schemes. Hardly do they display understanding of the spiritual bases of many aspects of life.
Differences
Cannibalism: While the Igbo acquired, in probably unrivalled gastronomic proportions, a craving for human flesh, commonly available records seem not to indicate such a trait with the Biblical Edomites.
The Secret Relationship between Edo and Igbo
Since the Igbo nation was excised from the Edo kingdom, an examination of the relationship between them should reveal continuous traits.
Similarities
Fondness for red: Both groups have retained Esau’s innate attraction for the red colour which is manifested today in their traditional attires (Isaiah 63:1-2). The largest oil palm plantations established for the purpose of extracting the reddish palm oil are found in the regions of the Igbo homeland, Edo kingdom and other breakaway kingdoms like the Urhobo and Isoko.
Prostitution: Many kingdoms that descended from Edo are located southward in DeIta State and the women therefrom have been regarded as very pretty and easy to bed. Also, it is well known that mothers from Edo prostitute their daughters overseas, especially to Italy, perhaps accounting for the violent crimes like armed robberies and kidnappings in that kingdom (see Leviticus 19:29). With the Igbo it is brazen as they set up brothels in Lagos and other parts of Yorubaland while migrating westward to that region in pursuit of wealth. Their homeland is notorious for baby factories where teenage girls are impregnated and already pregnant teenagers reside, with both eventually selling their babies; some babies are stolen at birth while their mothers are deceived into thinking they had stillbirths. Note also that prostitution is also carried out when mothers encourage their daughters to use the quantity of vanity gifts, both material and perishable from suitors to gauge love and lust. Women all over southern Nigeria including Yoruba, Igbo and Edo are guilty of such.

Differences
Spiritual vs. materialistic: The Edo people have a reputation for taking their orisha traditions seriously of which they engage in vibrant discussions. The Igbo focus on wealth acquisition strategies.
Skin texture: The Edo are not as hairy as the Igbo and have not retained the reddish skin tone of Esau.
Clannish vs. kingship: The Edo people have high esteem for their Oba (royal father) and royal institution. The average Igbo man is said to see himself as a king, hence they are clannish right down to the family unit.
Adulteration vs. honesty: The Igbo people are very notorious for adulterating consumer goods without regard for human life. They are a mercantile people who have established international networks for importing various items into Nigeria, thus it is easy to point fingers at them concerning the entry of fake/adulterated and contraband products. For instance, it is common knowledge that they are almost single-handedly responsible for the near ubiquitous presence of fake pharmaceutical drugs, and that they are the source of adulterated palm oil which is a staple commodity in Nigeria. Edo people are not known to be associated with such. Nevertheless, the Edo have in recent times been coming up with a craftily fabricated story of the origin of Oduduwa, the Yoruba progenitor. The story heftily defies logic.
Slavery: The Edo people resisted overtures from the Amorites (Europeans/colonial masters) to sell their people into trans-Atlantic slavery for which the latter punished the former by stealing Edo artifacts and almost destroying their kingdom. The Igbo people sold themselves into the hands of the Amorites using their kidnapping expertise.
Masculine vs. feminine women: Edo women, unlike their Igbo counterparts, are not known to have manly biceps, shoulders and calves, and hairy faces.
The Secret Relationship between Yoruba and Igbo
Since the British/Amorite colonial masters mischievously amalgamated Nigeria together, thus placing many nations like the Yoruba (Israel), Edo (Edom), Hausa and Kanem-Borno (Assyrians), Igbo (Edom), Ijaw, Tiv, Koma, etc. within the same shared boundaries, the Igbo have faithfully expressed the same pattern of ancient hatred described in the books of Jasher and Obadiah toward the Yoruba.
Similarities
Descendants of Abraham and Isaac: Esau and Jacob are sons of Isaac who is son of Abraham. Since the Igbo are Esau’s descendants and the Yoruba are Jacobs it is obvious that they are brothers. However Yehve (God Most High) chose Jacob and his descendants (Genesis 28:10-17).
Differences
Spiritual vs. materialistic: While the Igbo boast continually about their wealth acquisition profiles and travel round the world even to far-flung lands in pursuit of money, the Yoruba are reputed for their rich spiritual tradition a.k.a. Ifa (the living oracles of God Most High) with an increasing number of those in the diaspora returning to Ile-Ifẹ.
‘Black’ vs. reddish and hairy: The Yoruba are proud of their melanin-rich skin and know that Yeshua (Eṣu), the Redeemer, taught them that He is Edu or the Black One. The Igbo stand out with their distinctive reddish (laterite-like) complexion and much more hairy skin.
Feminine physique: Yoruba women are not known to express masculine physical features e.g. manly arms and calves and hairy faces, very much unlike Igbo women.
Honesty vs. dishonesty: The Igbo have been associated with an innate desire to defraud and inveigle the hearts of others, and trade in contraband and adulterated products. It is even thought in some quarters that they constitute a disproportionately bulk of overseas Nigerian prison populations. They use their inborn craftiness to engage in dishonesty – well described in the Book of Jasher – much to the displeasure of their hosts who have repeatedly expelled them. The Yoruba have maintained for centuries cordial relationships with their hosts and trading partners, and have not been associated with such group-wide deceit.
Respect for borders: The Yoruba as a nation have not been associated with any false claim over ownership of territory and extent of borders. However, the Igbo have consistently done the opposite. For instance, when the Igbo in 1967 decided to secede from Nigeria by carving out the former Eastern region consisting of the Igbo homeland (including the present states of Imo, Abia, Enugu, Anambra and Ebonyi) and some south-south states (including the present states of Cross River, Akwa-Ibom and Rivers) into Biafra, they invaded the Mid-West and Western regions where Yorubaland is situated out of greed and envy. The result was a crushing defeat of the Igbo during the resulting Nigerian civil war of 1967-1970. They have tried hard to rewrite history in claiming that Yoruba peoples like the Ilaje and Ulukumi who have been living in the south-south state of Delta are not Yoruba; the Igbo want to claim the crude oil present in those domains. The presence of these Yoruba peoples proves that the Igbo claim of authority and dominion in the south-south is fraudulent. The Igbo have also not stopped agitating for the nation of Biafra but this time brazenly and unilaterally extending its borders to add the kingdoms of Edo and others south of Edo like the Urhobo, Agbor, Isoko, etc. and Yoruba domains like Ilaje, Itsekiri and Ulukumi, because of their desire for black gold – they see crude oil as more strategic than fellow men. The implication is that they are priming up themselves with their delusional vainglorious posturing for yet another repeat of history in the form of a more crushing defeat. Note that the Igbo invasion of Yorubaland in 1967 during the civil war is after the pattern of the attacks of the Biblical Edomites on Israel.
Cooperation vs. plunder: Just before Nigerian independence (fake set-up of the British Amorites) in 1960 the Igbo were negotiating with the Yoruba to form a government, but the Yoruba were not aware that their brothers, the Igbo, were dealing surreptitiously with the Hausa-Fulani of the north. Eventually, the Igbo aligned wit the jihadist and Islamizing northerners who are mainly descendants of the Biblical Assyrians with the aim of shaming and subjugating the Yoruba. This is not surprising as the Igbo, out of jealousy, see the Yoruba as their enemies, and thus collaborated with the Assyrians – my enemy’s enemy is my friend. About two decades later in 1979 and 1983 the Igbo collaborated with the Assyrians in preventing Obafemi Awolowo, then leader of the Yoruba people, from becoming Nigerian president. Then in 1999 they joined forces again with the Assyrians to prevent Olu Falae, the Yoruba choice for president, from reaching that office but supported the Assyrian-picked candidate of Gen Olusegun Obasanjo (he was brought up Yoruba but it is widely suspected that his dad was an Igbo man; besides he has the Igbo maxilla and has borne Igbo-level jealousy of popular Yoruba leaders like Obafemi Awolowo and MKO Abiola). Later in January 2012, when people in most parts of the country were protesting over fuel subsidy and missing trillions of Naira, the Igbo people in their homeland and many outside did not participate because of their love of money as they wanted no disruption to the flow of money into their mercantile enterprises. The current president, Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan, under whose tenure these protests took place coupled with reports of a never-before seen nor heard monumental fraud, is seen by the Igbo as one of them. This has added to the negative perception of the Igbo people from other Nigerians. Till today the Igbo hold clandestine meetings to formulate and implement strategies on how to subjugate the Yoruba – to take over Yoruba in business, corporate organizations, office politics and the likes – in Yorubaland. They have been migrating westward en masse to Yorubaland with the delusional dream of eventual domination.
Crushing defeats: The Igbo have for a long time been referring to the Yoruba as cowards whereas other Nigerian nationalities have acknowledged the Yoruba as strong and diplomatic. The Igbo perception is deluded and borne out of jealousy as they know that over the centuries, the Yoruba have been engaged in brutal wars, both within and without. For instance, when the Fulani jihadists began attacking the Yoruba to subjugate them as they (Fulani) did to the Hausa, the Yoruba eventually repelled them by Yehve’s mercy. However, the Igbo who like referring to themselves as a warrior nation even though they have no history of warfare or empire-building, lost woefully in their bid to secede as Biafra from Nigeria during the civil war of 1967-1970. They sowed the seeds for the loss but blame others till today. When the war started, they secured their territory of the Eastern region, but they felt it was not enough for them. So they marched westward into Yoruba territory. Previously the Yoruba were not taking sides in the war but then got involved upon seeing the Igbo invasion. This event, the greedy invasion and big blunder by the Igbo, and the subsequent success of the Yoruba in repelling and defeating them just as in 2 Chronicles 20:10, 22-23; 28:17; and Psalm 137:7 marked the end of that Biafran delusion. Perhaps if the Igbo had stuck to their territory they would have won and be regarded till today as elders among Africans. One reason why the Igbo have no history of warfare apart from the civil war is that they are a young nation, having been spliced out of Edo (Edom) in 1748. Their homeland is the thickest forest in Nigeria, and their homeland consists of independent communities and quite local kingdoms. Besides, the Igbo, in their vainglorious posturing, have failed to acknowledge that the middle-belt peoples of Nigeria e.g. Tiv, Berom, have served as a buffer preventing the Assyrians, a people of wicked countenance, from wiping them (Igbo) out. Indeed, if any Nigerian nationality claims to be a warrior nation it should be the Tiv, Jukun, Hausa-Fulani, Berom, Yoruba, and many others but not the Igbo.
Associating with Satan’s people: The Yoruba have not been known to claim to be of Israel and thus seek identification with the fake jews also known as the synagogue of Satan (Revelations 2:9 and 3:9). Rather, people have tried to link them with Egypt and Nubia, but this is changing with the unearthing of various overwhelming evidence showing that the Yoruba are truly of the real Israel, as revealed, by anthropologists like emeritus Professor Dierk Lange, in the Bible, and on this blog for instance. Shamelessly, the Igbo have been shouting that they are Hebrews of Israel for reasons like their fair complexion which is near to that of the synagogue of Satan, but not seeing that the true Israelites have Negro features. The Igbo have also claimed to be both the ancestors and descendants of Satan’s people. One of the proponents of such incredibly fallacious claims is Professor Catherine Acholonu. How could a people carry out such a group-wide memory bypass in deliberately forgetting their Edo history? Well, they manifest their group narcissism by encouraging themselves as the best while despising others. Some have been applying to fake Israel to be joined to them which was rejected. Who would want to be associated today with cannibalism?
Mutual respect: The Yoruba are known for their respect for each other and for others, as seen in their mode of greeting for instance. The Yoruba are highly regarded for their ability to integrate with and respect the traditions of their host. This has enabled the Yoruba to establish centuries-old trading relations. Their peaceful attitude has allowed them to tolerate the presence of the Igbo, which is in fulfillment of Yehve’s command to Israel (Deuteronomy 23:7). The Igbo on the other hand have a notoriety for despising themselves community- and caste- (slave or free) as they kidnap(ed) themselves for food, and worse for despising others. They go to Yorubaland and openly tell Yoruba people not to observe their festivals, out of jealousy and keeping their mercantile enterprises running for money. They even call such festivals demonic. Also, they emigrate from their homeland to buy landed property in the land of their hosts with the aim of taking over. They carry out fraudulent activities, abductions, diabolical rituals and violent crimes in their host communities and hold clandestine meetings to work out delusional strategies aimed at propelling themselves to dominance. Indeed their former leader, Nnamdi Azikiwe, is said to have admonished his people to dominate others but not to let others dominate them. Also, they keep carrying out their nefarious activities as if their hosts are too stupid and docile to do anything, but when they (hosts) react to cleanse their land of guilt brought about by the Igbo settlers, the Igbo cry out ‘marginalization’, ‘massacre’, ‘slaughter’. Indeed the Igbo have been fatally and repeatedly targeted by the Assyrians who brook no nonsense as many are hard-core Islamists, but the Igbo keep going back because of greed. Till today the Igbo shout about how their people have been ‘slaughtered’ by the Assyrians since the 1940s, but they, in their psychotic delusion of self-righteousness have stubbornly refused to confess that they have historically been direct provocateurs. An example is the manner of the first coup d’état (January 1966) in Nigeria. Igbo soldiers killed Ahmadu Bello (the Sardauna Sokoto and premier and religious leader of the Northern region), Tafawa Balewa (political leader of the Northern region and Prime Minister of Nigeria, and Akintola (the traitorous premier of the Western region who collaborated with the Assyrians to checkmate Obafemi Awolowo who was the former Premier but latter put in Federal prison for treason). The Igbo let their own leader who was President, Nnamdi Azikiwe, to escape abroad. This was widely perceived as selfish, wicked and outright tribalistic, but the Igbo openly gloated about the coup (not surprising as they have a history of always boasting). Thereafter they abolished the Federal system of government, thus doing away with the autonomous four regional blocks of Nigeria, and introduced a unitary system with power concentrated at the centre. The new system was to be their tool for dominating all of Nigeria including the Assyrians (Hausa-Fulani and Kanem-Borno), Israel (Yoruba) other Edomites including the Edo, and others. However the Assyrians began to vengefully target the Igbo especially in the north and this culminated in a counter-coup six months later in July 1966 during which the Igbo installed military leader of the country, Aguiyi Ironsi, was killed and the acts of revenge continued. Furthermore, the Igbo installed leader of the former Western region, Major-General Adekunli Fajuyi (Yoruba), who was hosting Ironsi when the Assyrian mutineers came for him, refused to hand over his guest; he was fatally shot. This act of Fajuyi eschewing ethnic sentiments earned further honour for the Yoruba but it was only after about forty (40) years that some Igbo decided to remember him for regard in some way – in Nigeria the Igbo have not been associated with honour and value for human life. In 1967 the Igbo announced their secession of the former Eastern region to Biafra, which was followed by a three-year civil war during which they were soundly defeated. Yet, as a group they have refused to acknowledge that with their own hands they caused their shame.
- Tricycle operators groan under rising cases of theft (an example showing that a big chunk of crimes in Lagos is committed by Igbo; a review of court cases across Nigeria should provide enough evidence)
- The Kwerekwere Testament (a disguised autobiography written by an Igbo man who narrates his experience in Southern Nigeria, including how Igbo people are neck deep in crimes and bringing shame to Nigeria; they are notorious in China as well)
Respect for parents: It is said that an Igbo man can wake his dad from sleep by kicking him. They are also known to speak to their elders as if age mates. The Yoruba are not associated with such.
The Secret Relationship between Synagogue of Satan and Igbo
In seeking to be associated with the synagogue of Satan, the Igbo have noted various similarities among both cultures. These and more are explored below.
Similarities
Claiming to be true Israel: Both the Igbo and the synagogue of Satan have deceitfully and fraudulently claimed to be Yehve’s chosen people despite the tons of obviously contradictory evidence with regard to their histories. While that of the synagogue of Satan is clearly of Satan their father, the Igbo have been making the same claims as Esau their ancestor did. Satan’s people deliberately try to cover up their Ashkenazi (Genesis 10:3), Serphavaim (2 Kings 17) and Khazar (Khazakstan?) roots while the Igbo attempt same with their Edo (Edom) roots.
Despising others: Both have consistently boasted without humility that they are holy (a lie), the chosen people, number one, and admitted that they despise others. The side effect is that they have been expelled severally from their host nations – Satan’s people from Europe and Igbo from Assyria (northern Nigeria) – and slaughtered during the World War 2 and the Nigerian civil war of 1967 to 1970.
Racism: While the synagogue of Satan who actively participated in the trans-Atlantic slave trade derogatively referred to the slaves (Abraham’s descendants, see Genesis 15:13) as ‘schwartzers’, a German term for nigger. The Igbo likewise refer to their Yoruba brothers as ‘ofemanu’, an Igbo term for red oily brain – did they eat some Yoruba people and thereafter concluded thus? Some Igbo also say unabashedly that they are the beautiful ones and that Yoruba are ugly. The synagogue of Satan and the Igbo feign friendship, even mixing and doing business with Abraham’s descendants and Yoruba people respectively with the aim of extracting money from and cheating them while referring to them as ‘schwartzers’ and ‘ofemanu’ behind their backs.
Prostitution: The synagogue of Satan ‘reared’ African slaves as prostitutes and sex slaves across their international slave holdings in the West (the Americas). The Igbo set up brothels in Yorubaland which is west of the Igbo homeland.
Slave retailers: Satan’s people actively engaged in the enslavement (including finance, transportation, etc.) in the millions of Abraham’s descendants. The Igbo still boast about the huge numbers, in millions too, of their brethren and perhaps others that they sold to the Amorites (Europeans and synagogue of Satan in particular) into slavery.
Mercantilist: The Igbo have demonstrated a peculiar inborn knack for quickly acquiring wealth upon setting up a business venture as they are a mercantile people. This is one of the main traits they point out as proof of link with Satan’s people who have a very similar reputation.
Westward migration: The Igbo migrated westward to Yorubaland, which they saw/see as prospering, and later to North America in pursuit of money/vanity via their own sweat, toil and defrauding skills. The synagogue of Satan migrated westward to the Americas in pursuit of money and vanity but via their own defrauding skills and the sweat toil and blood of Abraham’s descendants whom they enslaved. Both sets of migrations culminated in the Igbo and synagogue of Satan populating vast territories and dominating western commercial activities.
Diabolical wealth: The synagogue of Satan serve Mammon, engage in sorcery, and have been rewarded with control over global finance, heads of governments, and the glory of kingdoms (Luke 4:5-8). The Igbo are known to do anything for wealth, including the use of their own body parts and emissions. They are known to establish networks with ologun ika (Yoruba sorcerers) for such purposes. An Igbo man once confessed that if there are over twenty such sorcerers within a Yoruba domain/kingdom, he would have probably known all or almost all while a resident Yoruba may know of only five. Similarly, quite a number of Igbo men have confessed in churches that they used diabolical means for wealth acquisition.
Political religion: It is known that the synagogue of Satan adopted Judaism for political gain, to deceive the world into taking their wealth to them. Before the Igbo learnt of Judaism they adopted Catholicism en masse for political gain as they wanted to be associated with those they perceived as the dominating global power. The Catholic church in Nigeria is dominated by Igbo people as anywhere there is a Catholic gathering it is likely to be filled by them. This has made them easy targets by Assyrian Islamic fundamentalists in northern Nigeria like the Boko Haram.
Faith in violence: While the Igbo have historically believed in the use of machetes/cutlasses (Genesis 27:40), boast a lot about violence, and use violent threats and actual violence to settle disputes, the synagogue of Satan have consistently demonstrated that they are Satan’s very spawn with their use of violence to provoke and sustain conflicts around the world including the deceptive ‘middle east’.
Trade embargo: During the United States civil war (1861-1865) the synagogue of Satan actively supported the Confederate South as both wanted no end to the dehumanizing slavery of Abraham’s descendants. Satan’s people dominated commerce using the slaves to derive huge profits from their plantations and slave ships, and their lives of luxury depended on owning slaves. The Union of the North noted these and thus enforced a trade embargo on the synagogue of Satan while allowing those of Abraham’s descendants who could escape from the South to settle in the north. The Confederates thereafter lost the war. Similarly, during the Nigerian civil war (1967-1970) the Federal government with advice from the then Federal Commissioner of Finance and Vice-President of the Federal Executive Council, Ọbáfẹ́mi Awólọ́wọ̀, who had been just been released from the prison by the Assyrians, placed a food embargo on the secessionist but not-to-be Igbo-dominated nation of Biafra. The Igbo lost the war.
International trade networks: The Igbo can be found in many parts of the world today, driven by their love of money. Taking advantage of these networks, they dominate the importation of various goods into Nigeria. Likewise the synagogue of Satan spread throughout Europe and the Americas dominating international trade and finance.
Preference for cities: Outside of their homeland, the Igbo are mostly to be found in urban developments like cities as they expend their wealth to show off same. In the Americas, the synagogue of Satan have always been associated with upper-middle and upper class residential areas; not surprising as they have controlled finance markets.
Smugglers: In Nigeria the Igbo are seen as overwhelmingly represented in the importation and sale of contraband and harmful goods, and when the Federal government makes to counter such they cry out ‘marginalization’, thus admitting that they have are the culprits. They also carry out sharp practices especially while trading to evade and avoid legal requirements; such practices include product alteration and the falsification of records. The level of dubiousness is so bad that many landlords (including Igbo kinsmen) refuse to let/rent out homes/apartments to them. Looking through the lens of distorted avarice, they desperately allege that they are victims of unfair ethnic sentiments and argue that the laws of the land should be amended (weakened) in their favour. The synagogue of Satan were notorious in the Americas for smuggling as they were the main actors with vast and unrivalled knowledge of smuggling routes and techniques. They also frequently obtained the relaxation of laws in their favour.
Against economic parity: In early 2012 the Nigerian government under the leadership of President Goodluck Jonathan maliciously announced the removal of fuel subsidy, which was a farce for the embezzlement of over ₦1,000,000,000,000. This sparked off massive protests across the country but many Igbo people in their homeland and elsewhere including some parts of the south-south where the President hails from opted out. The reason they gave was that the President has some Igbo ancestry and mostly because they did not want anything, including protests and agitations against crushing poverty, that could disrupt their wealth acquisition schemes. To them, crushing poverty in the country did not matter so far money flows their way. Similarly, the synagogue of Satan supported the determinedly racist Confederates against the Union during the United States civil war (1861-1865) because they wanted no end to their use of slaves (Abraham’s descendants) in acquiring wealth.
Delusional marginalization: Both the Igbo and the synagogue of Satan have been telling the world that they have been victims of genocide, slaughter, discrimination, holocaust, and other forms of unprovoked aggression. But they deliberately do not admit that they have historically stoked the embers of aggression, which are in fact reprisals, with their dubiousness, pride, sharp practices, distorted avarice, ‘take over’ mentality, and desire to drive their hosts into poverty so as to dominate them.
Peddlers: Upon entering the United States via the eastern seaboard and from the Caribbean and South and Central America, the synagogue of Satan spread westward with many peddling various items for sale. Till today the Igbo people migrate westward to Yorubaland with various commodities which many carry on their backs in spilling backpacks, and cover many parts of Lagos (a prominent Yoruba city) like swarms. According to an Igbo NGO leader, the Igbo people of Ebonyi control the traffic jam market of Lagos
Below is a compilation of terms used in referring to Satan’s people, as mentioned in the book: ‘The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews I’. Those who have read it and also interacted with the Igbo would immediately realize many disturbing congruent traits. No comparison has yet been attempted yet with volume 2 of the same book.

The sheer idiocy of the Igbo attitude is compounded by the fact that the Igbo desperately sought to be associated with the people that look down on and enslaved them.
Proposed Actual Origin
Yehve has already informed us that Israel would possess the remnant of Edom (Amos 9:12) and that no man would remain of their house (Obadiah 18). The process of the remnant of Edom being grafted into Israel has already happened (see: Identifying Israel via the colocation of Jebus, Ekron, and Edom as markers) and involved the removal in 1748 of the Igbo and others like the Urhobo and Isoko. This event appears to be the exact fulfillment of the blessing Ajaka (Isaac) pronounced on Esau in Genesis 27:40
Genesis 27:40. By your sword you shall live, and you shall serve your brother; and it shall come to pass, when you become restless, that you shall break his yoke from your neck.
Sword: The Edo symbol of royal authority is a ceremonial sword. The Igbo took this aspect of Edo culture with them when they left Edo, and they have faith in their machetes and cutlasses.

Serving Israel: The advent of Ọranmiyan sitting on the Edo throne and the continuation of his Ọba dynasty was/is a repeat of history (2 Samuel 7:14; 1 Chronicles 18:11-13) as it implied that the Edo began to serve a son of Israel, although this time willingly and freely.
Restlessness: Perhaps when a predetermined level of Jacob/Israel DNA had been introduced into the Edo gene pool to facilitate the aforementioned grafting, the Igbo and other sub-Edo groups led by the Igbo became restless and in 1748 ignited the Edo civil war.
Breaking yoke: The emigration of these groups probably marks the prophecy of Esau breaking Jacob/ Ọranmiyan/Israel’s yoke from his neck.
Igbo and the trans-Atlantic slave trade
The Igbo willingly sold themselves to the Amorites as slaves, developing the notorious Aro slave machine for churning them (slaves) out. This they say is proof that they are of Israel who brought upon themselves the curse of slavery (Deuteronomy 28:47-50, 68). These verses also imply that all victims of the slavery were Jacob’s descendants, but they can be verified upon critical comparison with other similar verses. According to information from Ezekiel 35 and the book of Obadiah, Yehve declared that He would repay Edom for plundering Israel and Judah; and one of such attacks on Israel was carried out when the Greeks and some other nations sought to destroy the people of Judah during the time of the Maccabees . Yehve had also told Jeremiah to make for himself bonds and yokes, put them on his neck, and send them to the king of Edom (Jeremiah 27:1-13) as sign of coming enslavement by Nebuchadnezzar, then king of Babylon. The trans-Atlantic slavery which was insanely more vicious was mercifully patterned after these ancient Egyptian, Babylonian, and Greco-Roman conquests of many nations, not just Israel– for victims to learn what to do to seek salvation from Yehve. The implication is that not all of the nations carried away as slaves are Jacob/Israel’s descendants but they were similarly carried away to the Americas which constitute the Egypt of Deuteronomy 28:68 – the Washington has been said to be modeled after pattern of Egypt with the Potomac representing the Nile, and the presence of similar cults. Similarly, the Americas is the west and Egypt of Hosea 11:10-11 as ancient Egypt, just as the Americas, is west of ancient Israel; and the Assyria of the same verses is Nigeria and similar West African countries today where the Assyrian descendants (e.g. Hausa, Kanem-Borno) dominate.
The Igbo also say, despite the contradictory translations, that their name is derived from Hebrew: Igbo, Ibo, Ebo, Eebo, Hebrew. What they failed to realize is that Hebrew is a deviant transliteration of what the true children of Israel called themselves which is Ewe (or Eve) which is what the Yoruba were also called – discussed in more detail by Mawuli. The true children OF Israel, including the Yoruba and Ewe, acknowledge Ile-Ifẹ as their spiritual home where they settled upon leaving ancient Assyria which was crumbling sometime around 612 BCE.
Putting it all together
Upon considering all these which is just a scratch on the surface, it becomes immediately obvious that the Biblical prophecies of Numbers 24:18; Ezekiel 25:12-13; Ezekiel 35; Joel 3:19; and the Book of Obadiah apply to the Igbo people. However their typical reaction is copious denial by strenuously trying to point out faults in others rather than admit and take responsibility for their actions. Since the life of the Igbo nation is of the exact pattern as the Biblical Edomites including harbouring ancient hatred (Ezekiel 35:5) against and cursing (happens today; Genesis 27:29) the Yoruba and forgetting the covenant of brotherhood and thus boasting against Yehve (Ezekiel 35:12-13), the prophecy about no survivor to be left of the house of Esau which partially happened in the past (1 Kings 11:15) will be repeated but this time they are to be cut off forever. Previously, Yehve had let them escape (Daniel 11:41) from their original homeland Mount Seir (Ezekiel 35). Noteworthy also is the fact that immediately after expulsions and defeats the Igbo strive hard to rebuild their material possessions, but even that will be futile (Malachi 3:4). If Nigerians today decided to fully seek Yehve (God Most High), almost all Igbo people would be expelled and suffer from the Phinehas type of zeal (Numbers 25:6-13) and many even around the world would rejoice (Ezekiel 35:15). The sword is being / has been sent to cleanse the land of guilt, and the recent fundamentalist activities of Boko Haram (Assyrians; rod of God’s anger – Isaiah 10:5) in Nigeria are just a slight taste of the coming terror!
Will the Igbo nation ever take heed?
