:DNigerians are so funny!!! With the debate whether he was of Igbo or igala origin, i actually went to check him out on wikipedia! Alas, Olauda was neither Igbo nor igala. He's autobiography says he was from Essaka in Benin, Nigeria. Someone please help me with the state where Essaka is in Nigeria. 7 Likes 1 Share |

IPOB sacrificed lives for the future generations of the black race and they were called terrorists today the real terrorist are still going around killing unarmed people and farmers but time will vindicate IPOB 25 Likes 1 Share |

Leez: Can you spot the similarities between the outcome of Turner and Ohamma-dickhead's approach? "The slaves killed approximately sixty white men, women and children, Whites organized militias and called out regular troops to suppress the uprising. In addition, white militias and mobs attacked blacks in the area, killing an estimated 120, many of whom were not involved in the revolt." Between Nat Turner and Olaudah Equiano who is more celebrated today ? Tact and diplomacy beats violence and rebellion any day, any century. Diplomacy laughs at you in Chinese 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Leez: Has Catalonia been successful with their confrontational approach? No? The US and allied forces had the capacity to confront the Brits, yet today they are the best of diplomatic allies. Freedom is best earned through tact and diplomacy, confrontation typically comes with avoidable bloodshed, especially where the oppressor is significantly more powerful. 3 Likes 1 Share |

HermajestyQ:Edo ko bini ni � Lol funny you quoting Wikipedia as a credible source,even I can edit and add anything I want on a Wikipedia page. Nigerians don't read,If you had read his book you'll have seen where he proudly named his village and the culture of his people which clearly showed he was IGBO. Why are you pple so scared of igbos greatness that's you choose to believe lies to make urselves feel good?Quite pathetic I must say.No matter how hard you guys try to distort history,unfortunately the world knows the truth.

Oladuah Equiano was never an Igbo man. Early life and enslavement[edit] Equiano recounted an incident when an attempted kidnapping of children was foiled by adults in his villages in Benin, Nigeria. When he was around the age of eleven, he and his sister were left alone to look after their family's premises, as was common when adults went out of the house to work. They were both kidnapped and taken far away from their hometown of Etsako, separated, and sold to slave traders. source: Wikipedia 1 Like 1 Share |

Leez:First igala claimed him,now edo people ,even Yoruba and Hausa will soon join the bandwagon. This is a man that called himself an "eboe" man in his book and wrote about the market days "afo" or "aho",that described in details the culture of his people in this book. It has even been proven by historians that he was from Isseke which is a modern town in today anambra state. 13 Likes |

Olaudah Equiano, who was known as Gustavus Vassa for most of his life, was a prominent African in London whose autobiography helped to end the slave trade in Britain. Google marks the 272nd birthday of Equiano, who was born in the Eboe province, in the area that is now southern Nigeria, on October 16, 1745.

Olaudah Equiano(c1745-1797), also known as Gustavus Vassa, was an African writer, born in what is now the Eboe province of Nigeria, and sold into slavery aged 11. Equiano subsequently worked as the slave of a British naval officer, link https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/aug/07/the-interesting-narrative-of-the-life-of-olaudah-equiano-100-best-nonfiction-books-robert-mccrum |
