Some time since the past the Igbo tribe has been claiming to themselves and their fellow Nigerians that they have biological link with the Jewish tribe, though they have not proved it historically relating to their Ancestral root but they keep saying they are Jews by origin, this has made some scientist from Israel to fly over Nigerians to see this tribe that has been claiming brotherhood with them. The scientists decided to carry out a deoxyribonucleic acid test (DNA test). The test was carried out at Nnewi, and according to the test the Igbos were never Jews.
Members of the group had gathered at
Uruagu-Nnewi to collect what would be the confirmation/
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) test result of Ndigbo’s claims that Igbo
are descent of Israel got to the venue as early as 9.00am on Saturday
for a result that was to reshape the relationship of Igbo and Israel.
Rabbi Bernis who read the report from a laboratory based in Houston,
Texas, the United States of America (USA) said that the result of the
samples taken from Nigeria randomly on some people in Igboland bear no
semblance with the ones in the database of the laboratory.
The
Israeli in company of three of his compatriots said that none of the
124 specimen taken from Nigeria matched the samples in the Houston
laboratory which has 17 years’ experience in DNA business. He however
said that the result does not rule out the claim of Igbo to Israeli
descent as more research would still be made to authenticate the claims.
The President of RICON, Bishop Ignatius Orizu (JP) while commenting on
the DNA result said that the result would not deter the organization
from continuing to research into the claimed descent of the Igbo from
Israel.
Bishop Orizu said that their are many books that writes about the resemblance of the Igbos and the Israelite both in traditions and way of life, but he did not gave examples of such books for reference purposes, well as we all know books are written but blood and gene can not be written, if truly the Igbos are from Israel then the result from science will prove it one day, but for now according to the present result we have, taken by expacts, THE IGBOS ARE NOT JEWS, SIMPLE so such claims by some Igbos should stop.
Now come to talk of it, if truly they are Jews, they should have the same Language with the Jews or similar Language with the jews, so my beloved Igbos of great intellectual and talents, WE ARE NOT JEWS, provided the DNA test shows negative.
