After JESUS's crucifixion, some Jews surely came to West Africa. There are about 1,000 Hebrew words in Southern Nigerian languages, some 400 of which we have now published.
Igbo, Yoruba, Ijaw, Ekpeye, Edo, etc, languages still have Hundreds of words derived from Biblical Hebrew language.
For example:
Hebrew: huluku... Law, Commandments
IgboidEkp: Oloko... Law
Nembe-Ijaw: Ologo... commandment
Hebrew: pakkoo'aw... Gourd, calabash
IgboidEkp: awkpokolaw... Calabash
Ife-Yoruba: kpo.o.kaw... calabash type
We discuss many of them here, and invite you to present the ones that show up in your language.
As more examples from more Nigerian languages come in, we will revise the book and include them.
Get the book, and enjoy it's wondrous revelations.
