Igbo History Hebrew Exiles of Eri. Omabala Aguleri
is most important is the proof of the migration of Eri, the founder of Igbo race from the Hebrew state of Israel to Igboland and that the Eri we are talking about is the Eri of the House of Jacob and not Eri from the Sky.
We have also learnt that the work Igbo was neither a name of a person nor a name of the progenitor of Igbo race. The Word IGBO is a mispronunciation of the word Hebrew. The pronunciation was first Heebo and later Ibo, later Igbo.
Eri is the name of the progenitor of Igbo race. ERI, the founder of Igbo race, led the first batch of Hebrew Israelites into Eastern Nigeria. This is why history credits ERI as the founder of Igbo race in Nigeria.
In summary, the author has been able to assemble the works of anthropologists, historians, Bible authors and researchers who made progress in using the creationist and evolutionary theories. These, according to Prof. Onwuejeogu, are standard requirements for tracing the origin and migration of a people. In this case, that of Eri from Israel to Egypt; from Egypt to Sahara; from Sahara to Igala; and from Igala to the Igbo first settlement called Eri-Aka in Aguleri (Anambra East Local Government Area of Anambra State).
