logica: In those times, many places (areas) were represented with a generalized name such as Guinea. Guinea isn't actually an African name so to speak. Fun fact, do you know that Igbo language is listed as one of the recognised regional languages of present day Equitorial Guinea? 1 Like |

TheKingIsHere:Calm down, my brother. It clearly isn't. He stated there that the Benin Kingdom was the greatest kingdom in the Guinea region and that they were supposed to be subject to the King but he never saw any influence of the king in his hometown. Chiefs were the custodians of law. There is no way a great kingdom like the Benin empire would not have been heard of from other places. The people would have been in awe of such a king. However, it doesn't necessarily mean the king had any immediate impact in their lives. 3 Likes |

Pigsandidiots: If you went to the university and you did final-year project then you should know that wikipedia is never a reliable source of research. Anybody can go to Wikipedia to edit articles and some of their information are never verified. Moreover, the Etsako you see on wiki was just edited into the article today by some anonymous person from nairaland whereas 99% other articles on his origin all say 'Ebo', 'Igbo' etc. Now I put it to you. Provide us academic or linguistic evidence, asides unreliable wikipedia, that he was from Etsako. |

TheKingIsHere:What exactly do you want to know? Is it that Olaudah was not Igbo or that the Igbos were under the Benin Empire? If you read the writings on the pictures I posted, you will clearly see that those are customs of the Igbo. Please do not argue without concrete facts. The book is there for all to read. After reading it, then you can make your conclusions. Do not dwell on Wikipedia posts which can be made by anyone. Read what Olaudah himself wrote. 2 Likes |

TheKingIsHere: A small part of Igboland was subject to the Bini empire, especially the anioma region, not the entire Igboland. We all know that. Just as Lagos and some other areas of Yorubaland were under the Bini empire also, do we say that the Yorubas were under the rule of Benin empire and migrated out of Benin? After all the Obanikoro family of Lagos state is from Bini? |

Nnamdi Azikiwe Chukwuemeka Ojukwu Nzeogwu Each of these were born in North, in Hausa speaking territory and they spoke fluent Hausa. If these people had been caught and sold into slavery while still young as Olaudah was, their memory of birth, environment and mode of expression would be nothing but Hausa and Hausaland. If asked about their birth and environment it would all be relative to Hausa culture, even though their true ethnicity and background is non-Hausa. Correct? There are many Ibos today born in North and never stepped foot in Iboland and cant even speak Ibo. All they understand is Hausa. Same with Ibos born and raised in Yorubaland. Olaudah should be viewed in same fate, a man of non-Ibo origin, born and raised in Ibo culture. 1 Like 1 Share |

comos: You would have been taken more serious if you had asked her to consult his biography/book which is very much available for download online rather than screaming Wikipedia. I have the book and nowhere was Etsako or Benin Nigeria, like you have been screaming over the thread mentioned rather what u have there is Essaka. If you are confused about who Essaka people are subsequent pages of his book shed more light on that. So leave Wikipedia and try lay your hands on his book |

MetaPhysical:The way you guys just formulate stories from thin air is astonishing! Olaudah Equiano wrote his autobiography. He stated where he was born, he talked about his father and mother. He wrote about their customs and traditions. Please where did you get this assumption that he was born far from his homeland? Haba! Argument is not by force o! 1 Like |
