you're the only wise person on this thread... I don't believe s:lavery happened...

this is another case of something written by whyte people but its attributed to a black person just to correlate with slavery.

anyone can write anything and claim it was written by someone else..



what proof do you have that the man even existed
what proof do you have that the man wrote the book

why would whyte people take people from Africa to America just to add to the ones already in America which would put them at a higher risk of been attacked... Black people in America were already rebelling and you expect them to bring more black people from Africa that they were fighting wars against.

Please stop deluding yourself ==>

"Being the second largest group of slaves brought into Brazil during the colonial period, the Yorubas and their religion, culture, customs, food and music had a strong, visible Nigerian influence on the people of Brazil."

so Olanma was a man in the book?

sukkot:
you and I know what igbo names sound like. your friend chimanda is in america and writing the book for american market. she knows if she uses real igbo names white people will not buy the book because real igbo names are jaw breaking names. so she came up with a softer african name with a yoruba slant to it called olanma so that it sounds exotic to white audience. which white man will buy a book with a character called chukwudimieri ? or emefiele ? or arochukwu ? lmao

Pigsandidiots:
Let them keep claiming him. We all know he's an edo man.
