einsteine:I tire for these people oo. The guy is from Edo state, he had knowledge of igbo and spoke it to igbo slaves..All of a sudden he is now Igbo. Just like the guy that is running for governor in anambra state, his name is Oseloka Obaze. He speaks igbo but he isnt igbo. 4 Likes 1 Share |

TheKingIsHere: Nigerians, being a very ignorant bunch never cross-check any news they read, especially if it fits within their parochial worldview. Olaudah and his sister were kidnapped from etsako area of Benin in present-day Edo state and were sold to slave merchants. Olaudah eventually got to the USA as a slave. He left the USA after being freed and settled in Britain as a freedman, he was not a British slave. 1 Like |

Amarabae: Lol, you guys should stop riddiculing yourself online. The name is clearly not igbo and he stated that he is from Etsako which is in Edo state. Because someone speaks igbo doesnt mean he is igbo. A typical example is Oseloka Obaze, the guy is currently running for governor in anambra state. Is he igbo? We know he isnt but he speaks igbo. There are several igbos that speaks hausa or yoruba, does it mean that the are from there. Na wa for una level of reasoning. 1 Like |

TheKingIsHere: 1. He is from Edo state but with an Igbo name and speaks Igbo. 2. His word for year is similar to the Igbo word for year: afo. 3. And his name (Olaudah) has no meaning in Bini/Edo language. 4. Dullardism is dealing with your seriously 2 Likes |

ivolt: Infact eh, I tire for nigerians o....Some just read that he spoke african laguages and Eboe, and all of a sudden concluded that he is igbo despite the same article says that the guy is from Etsako in Edo state. Dont we have people today that are igbos and can speak hausa? DOes it mean they are from hausa tribe? Seriously, nigerians need help espcially the ones that want to take advantage of everything to make themselves feel good. 2 Likes |

giftq: Which Igbo name? What does Ola in Olaudah mean in Igbo? The article you read stated clearly that he is from Etsako in Edo state yet you are taking otherwise without providing facts.... He spoke igbo doesnt mean he is igbo. I have several igbo friends that speak hausa, does that mean they are hausas not igbos? Na wa oo. This cry for silly attention has eaten deep to all of you. |

TheKingIsHere:indeed the education level in Nigeria is very low. Read this equaino biography below, his eboe identity was very very highlighted, there were Igbos in the ancient benin empire, no where was etsako written in his biography, read boy read up. He identified himself as eboe, whats wrong with you guys, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Interesting_Narrative_of_the_Life_of_Olaudah_Equiano |

Lol! Funny thread. Look at them. The white man creates a story, throws a crumb and predictably theyre fighting like ants. This was how africa was conquered. This guy was kidnapped, dehumanized, defecated on himself in slave ships. Went through hell and was propped up as the face of slavery by the abolisionists. But we are more concerned abt where hes from, like theres any glory for d black man in this whole thing. 2 Likes |

TheKingIsHere: Oseloka Obaze is the second of six children born to Anthony Chukwunweike Obaze and Rosemary Omuluzua Obaze. His father Anthony was a Senior Local Government Administrator while his mother Rosemary was an educationist both in the former Eastern Region of Nigeria. He spent his childhood Onitsha, Ogidi, Aguata, Umuahia, and Uzuakoli, where his father served at the various County Councils. He attended Christ the King College Onitsha from 1967 to 1973 but his education was interrupted between 1967 and 1970 due to the Nigerian Civil War after which he attended Dennis Memorial Grammar School in Onitsha from 1973 to 1974. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oseloka_H._Obaze |

Amarabae: Am happy that you agree with me that the educational level in Nigeria is very low because you would have noticed where it was stated that he was from Etsako which is Edo state. So my question now is, is Etsako an igbo village? Does speaking other african languages and eboe means he is eboe? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olaudah_Equiano#Freedom
