This is all nonsense. You cannot give a person an identity that did not exist while they were alive. The woman was Yoruba, she was never Nigerian. When Olaudah Equiano, who was born in Isieke in present Anambra, died 1n 1797, not even Lugard who created Nigeria had been born yet. How can anyone then call Equiano a Nigerian when Nigeria did not exist more 100 years after he died? That's a fallacy

Igbos wee not like this... they want to be everything.

Samuel Ajayi Crowther was a Yoruba man, he was never a Nigerian. Anyone who died before Nigeria was created in 1914 is not a Nigerian. Nationality cannot be given in reverse

You're a fool and a shameless bigot. Below is the entry for Samuel Ajayi Crowther. Why is it claimed he was a Nigerian who was born and died in Nigeria? According to your logic they should write he was born in some African bush of no name. Not so? Just stop talking. See you Igbos have boundary issues and you always offend others because of this. You are arguing foolishly that those born within Nigeria are not Nigerian because the name did not exist when they were born. Professor, then tell us their nation of origin then for record-keeping purpose then since you know more than the rest of the world. Mumu.

explain this

candidtalk:


Stop being ignorant and stubborn. A land will get a name and affiliation in the end and those who originate from there are then addressed as indigenes of that nation. This is why native indians are called the original Americans even as the name did not exist when they did.

Some people are funny. Who said she was a Nigerian? When she died in 1880, it would be another 34 years before Nigeria was created. The word "Nigeria" was not even created until 1897, a good 17 years after she died.

The woman was not a Nigerian

ginaeve:


What a ridiculous and senseless thing to say. That's like saying oduduwa was not a Nigerian.

Theres nothing to explain, who ever wrote that made a foolish mistake. Ajayi Crowther is not a Nigerian because there was nothing called Nigeria in 1891 when he died.

In fact, the word "Nigeria" was not created by Lugards wife until 1897
