Anthropologist Peter-Jazzy Ezeh asserts there’s no evidence linking Igbos to Jews. He argues Igbo and Hebrew languages lack lexicographical relation, unlike Hausa, which is Afro-Asiatic like Hebrew.
Ezeh dismissed claims based on circumcision and names, explaining that circumcision is a widespread rite of passage. He also noted the distinct linguistic and cultural identities of the Igbo people.
