bigfrancis21:Clap for yourself. I believe you since you said people from nairaland went to edit it. Good of you. But you people have been saying he said he's igbo. Now as a university graduate that you are. Can you bring out his quote where he said he's igbo? Once I see the his quote, then I will give up. |

rufychuks: I stated that the Wikipedia article is similar with the picture you posted. You replied that it wasn't. Now I ask you to point out the part that isn't similar, you are diverting the question. How can you say Wikipedia isn't reliable but the one you claim to be reliable is similar to the Wikipedia article. |

bigfrancis21: Thanks. Atleast your response is more matured than the rest who can't stand a contrary opinion. As for the small part of igbos that were under the Benin Empire, were the people of Onitcha not also under the Benin Empire? The reason I ask is the stereotype response I have received in the past making it look like it was only aniomas that were under the Benin Kingdom which is not so. |

Lilimax: If essaka is in anambra state, what correlation does it have with Benin kingdom because olauadah mentioned essaka or estako in Edo state. |

TheKingIsHere: You are terrible. So a benin man will abandon his own language and write igbo in his biography. A benin man will also ignore his own culture and describe igbo culture in his biography. You are funny, i swear. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

TheKingIsHere:What is the similarity? That Olaudah mentioned the Benin empire? You claim that Olaudah was Edo but the man himself wrote in his autobiography that he was Eboe (former spelling of Ibo and currently Igbo). The Chiefs and elders of his village were the kings he knew. Saying that they were under the Benin Empire doesn't mean they were Bini or that the Oba had any direct authority over them. It was just that the power of the Oba was widespread and all within Southern Nigeria then would have known of his majesty. It doesn't necessarily mean the whole Southern Nigeria were Binis. 2 Likes 1 Share |

rufychuks: This is serious. Now, I stated that the writing in the picture you posted is similar to what was written on Wikipedia page which you claim that Wikipedia isnt reliable. So why is it that the writing in the so called reliable image you provided is similar to what was written on the Wikipedia page. That's my question to you. |

GreenCap: Please do more research on this. Get their 'documented names and pics' if pissible. Yolobats are very terrible. If you cant, write a research proposal and send it to UNN history department on the need do trace and document Equiano's present lineage. Please 1 Like 1 Share |

Fineman87: If you had the patience to read and digest the article, you will understand what's going on. Now, can you provide where I said he was a Benin man? Also, the link provided, olaulah started the he is from estako in Edo state. Is estako an Igbo village? Can you answer these questions. |

TheKingIsHere:"...our subjection to the king of Benin was little more than nominal; for every transaction of the government, as far as my slender observation extended, was conducted by chiefs or elders of the place. The manners and government of a people who have little commerce with other countries are generally very simple; and the history of what passes in one family or village, may serve as a specimen of the whole nation." This should clarify things. He wrote that although the King was known and respected, his influence over them was almost nonexistent. |

A full grown man wrote a book and said he is eboe. He narrated his own culture which clearly is igbo and mentioned some igbo words. Yet some idiots come here to argue rubbish. And what if he is etsako, where is yoloba equivalent of equiano olaudah. Tell us about a greater yoloba man not fighting for the etsakos. The etsako people should come here and claim him. Then i will start. Shameless yoliba people. 2 Likes |
