[quote author=IamLaura post=61466151If you dont know the meaning of autobiography, Google is your friend and if you have a better information about his autobiography, quote your source online so i can look it up.FYI am not Igbo or igala. I only care about one nation NIGERIA. 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. Stop being ignorant and read a book.[/quote] |

Anyone who read his book knew his narrative of being eboe (Igbo) in essaka somewhere in the Benin empire. He was Midwest Igbo. 2 Likes |

BakireBulmaker:OLAUDAH means fortune or someone well favored in igbo language,it can also mean someone with a loud voice or outspoken. It's one of those ancient igbo names that sadly modern day igbos have replaced for the "chinedu" and "Chukwuebuka" ones. Other examples are "Olanna" which means my fathers fortune or "Unoaku" which is house of wealth or gold. We need to bring these names back 9 Likes |

IamLaura: Chineke, How did Olaudah translate to Chinedu or Chukwuebuka, Olaudah seems more like a yoruba name which is mostly bear by people from Edo state especially Estako and Afemaih people |

HermajestyQ: It is actually Isseke which is in Ihiala local government area, a 45 min drive to the region that encapsulated the old benin kingdom. There is no 'Essaka' in Benin. He only passed through Benin enroute to slavery with his captors. In his book he translated his name Olaudah as 'loud voice' which is actually what it means in Igbo. He also perfectly mentioned the 4 market day of Igbos as 'Ah-for' 'Ekeh', 'Nkwo', 'Oye'. Please Pick up his book and read (that's if you are not a biased Igbo-hating bigot pretending to be objective). I have learnt on this forum that even if you slap the truth on zombie skulls like a bowl of Amala they will not see it. 24 Likes 3 Shares |

blaqoracle: I understand it a bit differently. He wrote that he was a citizen of Benin Kingdom. But Ibo/Igbo by tribe. That would have been quite normal by them. The Kingdom/empire had many tribes. A considerable number of Yoruba people & a fair amount of Igbo. But in recent decades where tribal supremacy battle got into full swing (see Conini/Igbo spats here on NL), many now say Benin never had Igbo or Yoruba people. Ethnicity became the focus, not nationality that was once anchored on Kingdom/land one lived in. Benin has been gradually written out of Equiano's story. Thank God his original book is still there to read. |

Olaudah was a benin slave, it was clearly stated in his biography. |
