IamLaura:So na people here go edit his wikki to edo right? So wikki also hate igbo that they have to lie he's from edo instead of igbo. You lack wisdom. Why didn't you say wikki just wrote about him yesterday because they hate igbo and wanted to change his tribe. You are a typical bimbo. He's from etsako in edo state. Fact will never lie. I have seen many cases here where igbo claimed another person. 1 Like 1 Share |

TheCabal: Igbo-phobia will not help your case. The "year" was called "ah-affoe" in Olaudah's language. The Igbo word for "year" is áfọ̀ "They calculated our time, and foretold events, as their name imported, for we called them Ah-affoe-way-cah, which signifies calculators or yearly men, our year being called Ah-affoe" ---- The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, page 11 3 Likes |

TEYA: Your muslim anti-Igbo ewedu-dripping mouth can cry to Allah 100 times the truth remains that Olaudah in his book made it very clear he is Eboe (Igbo) without leaving a shred of doubt, he only passed through benin enroute to slavery. We know you this but can't live with the fact that the great Igbo man is being celebrated globally due to your prehistoric envy. Pls die if you want to. Fact number 1. He translated his name Ikwuano (Equiano) Olaudah (which mean loud voice in Igbo). What does Olaudah mean in Edo or yoruba (as you would like to claim by extension)? Fact 2 He mentioned 'Esseke' which is a town actually spelt Iseke in Ihiala local government area Anambra of today. I am from Ihiala and today a 45 minute drive from Ihiala will get you into the region that was the old benin empire. You see the proximity? Fact 3 In his book, he mentioned our Igbo for market days as 'Oye' (Orie) 'Ukwo' (Nkwo) 'Ah-for' (Afor) 'Ekeh' (Eke). Where does benin come in here? Cry till you die, grit your muslim teeth till you quench with hate. Everyone knows Olaudah remain IGBO as every true historian knows. Bitter pill for you right? 9 Likes 3 Shares |

Chukazu: It is not. Equiano said the his place of birth was subject to the Benin Kingdom. If that be the case, do you agree that igbos were subject to Bini? Secondly, I have come across literary works from the days of yore, which describe Eboe as somewhere in Ijaw land. Please see: Narrative of an Exploring Voyage Up to the Rivers Kuora and Binue Commonly known as the Niger and Tsadda in 1854 page 437 By William Balfour Baikie It gives a listing of places terms across Africa and Eboe was described for places in Igarra, present day Edo state (under Benin Kingdom) or Okuloma ijaw. Please do not be swayed by sentiments. Equiano's own narration when juxtaposed with Balfour Baikie easily leads one to the conclusion Equiano could not have been Igbo. Please provide evidence if you disbelieve. |

The muslimumudeen anti-Igbo zombies which they can turn back the hands of time and force Olaudah to claim he is not Igbo in his autobiography. The thing pain the Dumburudeens say Olaudah an Igbo man established his Igboness is his own book, translated his Igbo name, explained the Igbo market days. If he hadn't written any book, ewedu revisionists would have claimed hia name is 'Olarudeen' from Osun. Just the way they claimed a Crowther a creole from Sierra lone who came on a missionary to yorubaland and chose the name 'Ajayi' to get close the people. 2 Likes |

GavelSlam: subject in what form ? expand your horizons when reading. Igbo wasn't subject to Benin,some part of Igbo land "probably" were subject to The greater Benin empire the same way a part of Yoruba land , Lagos in particular was subject to the Benin empire,the same way some part of Present day Benin Republic was subject to the old OYO empire,but that doesn't make an entire tribe subject to Benin as the case may be go do some history,i have done mine from primary secondary days ... the truth ,the world as we know it today has evolved 3 Likes |
