Sukkot, Ivolt, Pigsandidiots and Aribisala (or what have you), you guys should take a break abeg! All over the world there is a consensus that Olaudah Equiano was Eboe (Igbo) born in Essaka in Anambra state; the man spoke Eboe, wrote in Eboe (or tried to), wrote about Eboe and claimed to be Eboe, so should we really be having this argument? The Sun newspaper (UK) did an article on him to celebrate his birthday and it was pointed out that he was Eboe from Essaka in Anambra state. Common sense and a good sense of history would have exposed any body to the fact that some Igbo communities came under the influence of the Bini Empire; and centuries ago, when our indigenous languages hadn't had a standardized system of writing using the Latin/English Alphabet, it was commonplace to see our native names rendered in English as they sound. For example, Igbo was spelled as 'Heebo' or 'Eboe' (up to this present day, Igbo is still wrongly spelt as 'IBO'); Orisa as OrisHa; Ohambala anglicised as Anambra; Shaworo (a Yoruba community in Benin Republic) was called Tchaourou; Wese was Ouesse; and many more of such renditions just to make the name conform to their style. How many of us pronounce Wenger (Arsene) as 'Venga' - which is the authentic pronunciation. I am in no doubt that Equiano was 'Ikwuano'. N.B: Thekingshere (or whatever) I carefully followed your writeups on this thread and came to a conclusion (though I was almost fooled): you don't intend to learn, you just want to troll! 3 Likes |

TheKingIsHere:Guy, I have posted screenshots from the book here so you know its not a lie. I don't believe you are that lazy to Google a book, download and actually read it! I have told you how to go about it yet you want to be spoonfed. I will not post the link here. If you can't find the book yourself, then continue arguing in ignorance. Seems Wikipedia is all you can search on. |

Arondizuogu: You guys are beginning to sound silly. You said Wikipedia is not reliable yet all the images circulating round here is what is on Wikipedia page. I have agreed that he is igbo so that you lot especially the ignorant ones who believe that anyone with a contrary opinion hates igbos. So, the conclusion is he is igbo. |
