As the story continues to build and become more insightful about the people of the Abuja - Nigeria, some narratives of the origin of the Gbagyi seem to be based on the Bible.
If Gbagyi people are from Nimrod lineage, what are the archaeological traces as a base to such assertion? What are the linguistics similarities to concretise such belief? What are the anthropological study and what blood link to such school of thought?
I think the Gbagyi scholars have more work on their hands to go deeper in finding out their origin.
A conflict of thoughts exist in societies but beyond an armchair assertion, there must be concrete base for the school of thought. Studies help to reduce illusions and not to mainstream fallacy to a dominant belief.

Linguistic similarities can't be the yardstick for ascertaining the origin of the Gbagyis or their claims of ancestry to Nimrod.
As for the history being based on the Bible, yes. Other tribes are free to trace their origin outside of the Bible. It's okay for them so long as they can prove it. We believe in the story of creation according to Biblical historical accounts.
Of course there's a need for further research based on anthropology and or archeology and that has been stated in the documentary as well.
There's no attempt here to streamline any fallacy or armchair assumptions. This work is based on oral history which, of course, varies as the Gbagyis migration was not a single moment of Exodus like that of Israelites from Egypt.
Thank you for watching and dropping your comments.
We appreciate it!

Well, a people’s story is based on their lived experiences. As a spectator, I find the biblical claim out of the line. It is also good that the producer played both schools of thought. I will rather align with the claim that the Gbagyis are indigenous where they are as the autochthonous people rather than migration based on biblical accounts.
Many African tribes relied on oral stories passed from a generation to the next but then, some stories passed down should be questioned and analysed.
My comment does not undermine the amount of work done in this research. And of course, it is also a part of further examination to the history of the Gbagyi people.
Thank you for undertaking this study.

The 7 Illegitimate Children of Bayajida his is not a true narrative of the minority tribes of the North, as clearly shown in the Gbagyi story. Another clear example was Kwararafa, which was neither Hausa nor an illegitimate son of Bayajida. While Kwararafa was a powerful confederation of many minority tribes in the Middle Belt, each of which had its history, notably Jukun, Idoma, Ibira, Igala, Alago, Nasarawa Toto, Kwande, Akweya, Saminaka, etc.
As we can see, the Gbagyi are a distinct tribe with their own history.
The 7 Illegitimate Children of Bayajida is similar to the false narrative that said the Tiv and the Fulani were brothers. While Tiv originated from the southern part of the continent, the Fulani originated from Futa Toro in the Futa Djallon region of West Africa.
