Jewish Igbo scholar Remy Ilona presents and analyzes Judaic history, practices and concept within the Igbo culture of Nigeria. Remy has been honored and supported by Kulanu, an American Jewish organization that assists dispersed Jewish communities internationally.
An African American History
Spike Lee's and Steve Harvey's anguish over African American loss of history and culture spurred me to finish this book which I started when I was studying for an advanced degree at Florida International University, Miami, Florida. I began to look at the question of the African American Hebrew Israelites assertion that they are descendants of biblical Israelites, and discovered that in fact some African Americans have Israelite ancestry, and that the founding fathers of some African American religious movements might have known that they were Israelites.This study examines the subject thoroughly. It also scrutinizes how it has been studied, which led to the sidelining of the subject in the media and academia. It dealt extensively and intensively with history of slavery and the culture of the African ancestors of the African Americans who are Israelites, and adduced impeccable evidence that shows that the African American assertion was found on facts.

African Zion
Over the last hundred years, in Africa and the United States, through a variety of religious encounters, some black African societies adopted – or perhaps rediscovered – a Judaic religious identity. African Zion grows out of a joined interest in these diversified encounters with Judaism, their common substrata and divergences, their exogenous or endogenous characteristics, the entry or re-entry of these people into the contemporary world as Jews and the necessity of reshaping the standard accounts of their collective experience. In various loci the bonds with Judaism of black Jews were often forged in the harshest circumstances and grew out of experiences of slavery, exile, colonial subj...
The Institution of the Seminary and the Training of Catholic Priests in South-Eastern Nigeria (1885-1970)
Today, we can no longer hide under the pretence that the grace of God alone suffices to make one a good priest. A close study of the history of priestly formation has shown that not just the training of priests can ensure an authentic priest-product, rather a continuous effort to adapt the training to the current world situation so that priests would be in the position to discharge their duties effectively. Such readiness to adaptability should, of course, not lose sight of the meaning and function of the priest as revealed in the person of Jesus: a service to the world. In the bid to assess the models for the training of priests in South-eastern Nigeria, the author using a historical-critic...
You're Too Late
You will accept the growth expected of you if you are to really be a true believer in the MESSIAH. There are going to be times you’re going to have to feel like you’re being stretched to the breaking point. You can call it toughing it out to see what becomes of your new understanding. That’s why I like to think about being anchored in the LORD.
First-Century Christians in Twenty-First Century Africa
Millions of African Christians who consider themselves genealogical descendants of one of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel—in other words, Jewish by ethnicity, but Christian in terms of faith—are increasingly choosing a religious affiliation that honors both of these identities. Their choice: Messianic Judaism. Messianic adherents emulate the Christians of the first century, observing the Jewish commandments while also affirming the salvational grace of Yeshua (Jesus). As the first comparative ethnography of such "fulfilled Jews" on the African continent, this book presents case studies that will enrich our understanding of one of global Christianity’s most overlooked iterations.

Jewish Identity Among the Igbo of Nigeria
Among the 20 to 30 million Igbo people in Nigeria there is a widespread belief that the Igbo originated in ancient Israel. Recently a number of Igbo Jewish communities have been established in Nigeria. Although some Igbo have made their way to Israel, the Israeli public is largely unaware of the fact that that there are in addition of 20 to 30 million people in Nigeria that are called by some, 'the Jews of West Africa.' This book offers for the first time an in-depth study and a genealogical history of the Igbo's long term narrative of a possible Jewish origin.
God's Love Prevails
In this incredible, true, and inspiring story, Gods Love Prevails, you will discover how God reaches out to the lost and the wounded as he did in the biblical times. It is believed that the Igbos of Nigeria descended from Israel. I was born and raised in Igbo. I remember in retrospect the culture and traditions of the Igbos which I discovered very similar to that of the Hebrews. In my post-primary school, I as well read the trilogy of Professor Chinua Achebe: Things Fall Apart, No Longer at Ease, and Arrow of God. These three books explicitly show and prove the belief that Igbos descended from Israel through the cultural and traditional events that run in the books. These, coupled with the i...
