bakynes:
Abeg we don argue this thing tire for the other two threads, even articles from Google Search recognize his origin is a matter of controversy whether na Eboe(Igbo) or Eboe (Edo) or Etsako(Essaka) or Isseke in Anambra. Bottom line be say he tried his best to abolish slave trade in Britain.

It must be hard being a Yoruba man today.

Tell us the possible meaning of Olaudah Equiano in Bini language.

RaptorX:
How did millions of people get captured and transported away on ships for over 300 years if Africans have not participated actively in the slave trade. When is Africa going to acknowledge it's role in selling it's own people into slavery and apologize to the descendants of the trade living in the Americas and the Caribbean.

Ngozi123:


Olaudah Equiano was always proud of his Igbo heritage and never claimed that he was a Benin man so what are you talking about here?

sukkot:
olaudah equaino is definitely not an igbo name. it dont sound igbo. its a benin name. it is one of those names that describes your life journey. olaudah means ' slavery ' or ' bondage '
