Dr. Ola Udah (literal meaning: Judahs offering or Judahs ornament) Equiano (possibly ekwe alu a) was right when he identified his Eboe people as presenting same manners and customs as the Israelites of the old times as illustrated in the book of Leviticus. This study attempts to be an evidence to this assertion. It is a product of a research that began since 1983 and is barely concluded in 2018. The reader would readily realize that the research on this topic has only begun. Changes, modifications, and even eliminations of manners and customs of people through the generations make continuation of this study inevitable. This would be especially expected when examining ancient cultural issues today. Although the study did not strictly begin as another attempt to prove the identity of the Ibos as the Jews enunciated in the Old Testament designation of the children of Jacob, it has however added a relevant credence to that fact. Some of the manners and customs examined include similarities in the use of words and meanings, ritual practices, beliefs, personal attributes, and aspirations that are common to the Eboe (Heeboe, Ibu, Ibo, Igbo) peoples and the ancient Israelites. The book is basically a call for individual and collective reinvention of Eboes (and indeed worldwide Jews) for collective survival in a hostile world. The book interprets a true present-day Hebrew as the true worshipper of the I am that I amthe G-d of our fathers who singled out Abraham and Jacob, our common ancestral fathers, and chose them for a mission to the world. The book finally suggests a version of Christianity centered on YeshuaJesus the Christand his message in the New Testament, a version of Christianity that would include relevant aspects of our omenala (law) among other recommendations. This is a book no one should ignore as it should be an eye-opener to the facts relevant to finding the solution to a long-standing identity crisis of the Eboe people.
The book agrees with the freed slave Dr Ola Udah Equiano who stated the possible close relationship of the manners and customs of his Ibo people with the ancient Israelites as represented in the book of Leviticus of the Hebrew Bible. The product of a research that begun in 1983 this book explores the similarities in vocabulary, ritual practice, beliefs, personal attributes, and common aspirations that are common to the ancient Israelites and the Ebo(e) ( variously rendered as Heebo(e), Ibu, Ibo, Igbo) peoples. The author uses Ibo to cover the part of Nigeria the Europeans called ''Ibo country.'' On the date of writing, this area covers what used to be the former eastern region, Delta and part of Kogi and Benue states wherever the Ibos are found in Nigeria and elsewhere. A limitation of this book is the difficulty in identifying the full list of countries in Africa where Ibos are found today as they spread as far as to Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and elsewhere. The book describes the various types of Jews in the world but suggests to the Ibo to avoid aligning with any. Rather to keep to their own identity especially as they seem to be the most original today. The book also calls all children of Jacob (Israel) all over the world to reinvent themselves as one people and cooperate with one another for collective survival in a hostile world. It opines that the true people of God are those people who truly appreciate the task Abraham's blessing confers on them as a people and would operate cooperatively to accomplish this task in a hostile world. It then calls on the Christendom to embrace true Christianity centred on Yeshua and as interpreted by Yeshua and his Apostles who handled Christianity purely from the Jewish view of interpreting scripture.
This book is a collection of letters from a religious Jew in Israel to a Christian friend in Barcelona on life as an Orthodox Jew. Equal parts lighthearted and insightful, it's a thorough and entertaining introduction to the basic concepts of Judaism.
This is a valuable resourse book through the Bible, explaining many customs practiced in Bible times. Not only is it easy to understand, but it is also filled with many helpful illustrations.
