aribisala0:yeah there is also that angle to the story. some say he was born in the carribean and some say he was born in virginia or georgia. its like how the founder of the hebrew israelites rabbi matthews claimed to be from nigeria to get fame. its something spiritual about nigeria that makes people of old always lay claim to it. even the guy who mentored moses mosiah garvey moved to nigeria. duse ali. all the revolutionaries of this world are connected to nigeria. malcolm x got his name omowale when he was in nigeria. they all come to nigeria. nigeria is the spiritual ground of the world. we dont understand what we have |

Ngozi123: Very true my dear. On previous threads, i tried hard to silence the benin lie. Its good to shoot it down early. Had equiano not spoken igbo language and narrated igbo culture in his book. We would be in trouble today arguing his tribe. The benin scholars never claimed him. It is the yolobats, unable to find an educated yoloba slave before equiano, that manufactured and propagate the benin lies. Thank God he narrated his culture which clearly is igbo. Else, we would be arguing endlessly with envious and vicious yolobat. 10 Likes 1 Share |
