Lol... Na you get time my sis. Person don talk say e be Eboe. I honestly see nothing worth arguing over!

You have to shut that nonsense down immediately or else they’ll continue to push their propaganda and some may start to believe it to be true. This is exactly what they did with regards to the Igbos in the South-South.

The people that took others as slave are celebrating stopping the slave trade



We thank God it stopped though some people are now enslaving whole nations with bad policies and war mongering.

You see why Jamb had to reduce cut off mark for Yoruba kids like you.

Answer the simple question


If he was a Benin man, where did he learn how to speak Igbo.? Beninland or Igboland

His name is not a Bini name.
His language was not Bini but Igbo.

The anti-Igbo rhetoric does not allow people to reason properly.

Babangida said he's a northerner, even we all know he's from Yoruba. I can say I am from Ghana because I live with them. We all know many footballers like Henry that came from Cuba but was born and spend his whole life in France.
Who are the WE that know this?

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.
but Olaudah is an Igbo name.

Shut the hell up. How many etsako slaves are in the new world?
What is the correlation between etsako and igbo also known as eboes in ancient West africa?
And who is the greatest etsako man in the past 100 years ,that the greatest slave from Africa would come from there?
We hear of the Igbo landing in Virgina where thousands of Igbo slaves resisted slave masters to the death. Give me an example of an etsako landing.?
I know you are a Yoruba trying to be mischievous. Go and resolve your historical servitude to bini kingdom before coming to tell us who is Igbo and who is not.

Olaudah is clearly an Igbo name
