Nigerian Hebrew Community

Like everyone else, I've heard that some Nigerians, mainly Igbos, believe they are decendents of Jews. However, I didn't realize that there are quite a few that actually practiceJudaism. Anyone know anything about this?

Why are they moving from side to side?

Its a shabbat service. I don't know why they are moving like that, but Hasidic Jews do that as they're reading scriptures in order to have a rythm and kinda be one w/ the text's msg.
