In those days there was communal war between the people of Obigbo and their neighboring community in Abia state claiming ownership of Obigbo land. At that time, the Okrikans were known as great warriors. So the people of Obigbo came to the Chiefs and Elders of Okrika of Ijaw community asking for help; that after the war, they will give them large portion of land to build their houses and live there with them in order to protect them from their enemies. It will take you about two hours drive from Okrika to Ogbigbo. So the people of Okrika accepted the offer and went and fought the neighboring Igbo community and defeated them and the Chiefs and Elders of Obigbo gave them large portion of land to build houses and live with them. As a result so many Okrikan built houses and settled there and became a very large Okrikan community till today.
Late Chief Ikiriko was one of those Okrikans and he spent most of his time in Obigbo as a trader in the above mentioned items. There, he met Late Okorie Goodnews Adolphus grand father from Abia State. He took him as his servants or slave boy to work for him in the trading business as a sales boy. At first he lived with him at Obigbo and was transferring some of the items to the main Okrika town for this master. As the Chief was getting older in age, he handed over his business to him and both of them later settled at Okrika; there Okorie took a wife from Okrika within Ikiriko family in order to be integrated into the Iklriko’s family and later married another wife from Igbo land. The first wife he married from Okrika gave birth to two boys and two girls while the Igbo wife give birth to Goodnews Father by name Adolphus Okorie Ikiriko and he was the only son to this Igbo woman. So Late Okorie had three boys and two women in all.
The name “Ikiriko” becomes the family name of all Ikiriko children including the sons and daughters of Okorie's descendants. Today Okorie family is very large which has become part of Ikirirko house in Okrika. Based on the tradition and customs of Okrika, Okorie performed the tradition rites by bringing in another servant or slave from Igbo land into Ikiriko’s family as to gain full Okrikan status. Okrorie was nominated by the late Chief Ikiriko to replace him as Chief of the house based on the fact that he was very intelligent, hard working and was very rich more than his own son who was never in good term with his father and he laid curse on him before he died.
Consequently, Okorie was assassinated by some members of Ikiriko’s family on the way as he was returning from Obigbo market for the fact that he would become the Chief of the house being regarded as a stranger from Igbo land despite all the traditional rites he had performed. Some years later after the Nigerian civil war, the first son of Okorie who was a former Headmaster of several Primary schools, went to Emohia to locate the exact villiage of Okorie but he was told by some men from the neighboring community that he knew the village but had been erased out during the Nigerian civil war including other villages as well and as become a farm land full of trees and weeds.
Okorie home town was one those surrounding villages of Emohia an Igbo land in Abia State of Nigeria that was affected by the Nigerian Civil war. Therefore, the Okorie family in Okrika was cut off from their ancestral land in Abia State as a result of Civil war. Based on this background, the world famous biblical prophet Goodnews Adolphus is an Igbo indigene who had received the prophetic mantle of Elijah as a Nigerian Jew and that confirmed that the Igbos are Jews from Israel. A none Jew cannot possess such tremendous biblical powers that can strike any part of the world and the scroll containing the prophecies of the prophets written in the holy bible which prophet Goodnews Adolphus acquired after he spiritual appeared in the wilderness of John the Baptist in Israel in his dream land as the primary source of this end-time global prophetic power and based on the covenant God had made with the people of Israel being the descendants of Abraham. John the Baptists was the forerunner of Jesus Christ who came in the likeness of Prophet Elijah in Israel like Prophet Goodnews Adolphus of Nigeria.
According to Wikipedia “ Outreach to Nigerian Jews by the wider Jewish world community gained official status in 1995–1997, when Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin sent a team to Nigeria in search of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel.[5] Western rabbis and educators such as Rabbi Gorin have visited the community at times[6] and Jewish communities in the West support those in Nigeria by sending books, computers, and religious articles.[7] However, the State of Israel has, to date, not officially recognized the Igbo as one of the Lost Tribes.”
