:DNigerians are so funny!!! With the debate whether he was of Igbo or igala origin, i actually went to check him out on wikipedia! Alas, Olauda was neither Igbo nor igala. He's autobiography says he was from Essaka in Benin, Nigeria. Someone please help me with the state where Essaka is in Nigeria.

An Igbo man who was sold to slavery in Britain, served out his time, earned money, bought his freedom from his master and started agitating for the abolishment of slave trade.

The current crop of lazy parasite One Neajeriya yoots will label him a terrorist for "challenging the Federal Government" and "brainwashing his gullible IPOD terrorist followers" because he demanded abolishment of slave trade.

God bless Olaudah Equianoh and a few othe igbos who resisted slavery with their blood in Igbo landing , men who fought against the slavery and paid with their lives . i am pretty sure thse igbo lsaves were declared as rebellious slaves and trouble makes and were sometimes killed , but today the whole black race is reaping the fruits of their emancipation stuggles .




IPOB sacrificed lives for the future generations of the black race and they were called terrorists today the real terrorist are still going around killing unarmed people and farmers but time will vindicate IPOB

I'm sure as hell Equiano did not negotiate and buy his freedom by calling his master's house a zoo or his family zoo animals, neither did he threaten to burn down his owners plantation if he was denied his freedom.

No master would have freed his slave if he approached him with aggression, no matter how much he was willing to pay. Equiano got his freedom through tactfully and diplomatically engaging his master and paying him off. An attribute lost in his descendants thanks to brainwashing by the Ohamma-dickhead.

Happy Post-humous Birthday Olaudah

Can you spot the similarities between the outcome of Turner and Ohamma-dickhead's approach?

"The slaves killed approximately sixty white men, women and children, Whites organized militias and called out regular troops to suppress the uprising. In addition, white militias and mobs attacked blacks in the area, killing an estimated 120, many of whom were not involved in the revolt."

Between Nat Turner and Olaudah Equiano who is more celebrated today smiley? Tact and diplomacy beats violence and rebellion any day, any century.

Has Catalonia been successful with their confrontational approach? No?
The US and allied forces had the capacity to confront the Brits, yet today they are the best of diplomatic allies.
Freedom is best earned through tact and diplomacy, confrontation typically comes with avoidable bloodshed, especially where the oppressor is significantly more powerful.

Oladuah Equiano was never an Igbo man.

Early life and enslavement[edit]
Equiano recounted an incident when an attempted kidnapping of children was foiled by adults in his villages in Benin, Nigeria. When he was around the age of eleven, he and his sister were left alone to look after their family's premises, as was common when adults went out of the house to work. They were both kidnapped and taken far away from their hometown of Etsako, separated, and sold to slave traders.

First igala claimed him,now edo people grin,even Yoruba and Hausa will soon join the bandwagon.
This is a man that called himself an "eboe" man in his book and wrote about the market days "afo" or "aho",that described in details the culture of his people in this book.
It has even been proven by historians that he was from Isseke which is a modern town in today anambra state.

Olaudah Equiano, who was known as Gustavus Vassa for most of his life, was a prominent African in London whose autobiography helped to end the slave trade in Britain.

Google marks the 272nd birthday of Equiano, who was born in the Eboe province, in the area that is now southern Nigeria, on October 16, 1745.

olauda equano never, in his narration claim Igbo. In fact he asserted his Edo origin. Equano only described the existence of Igbo, as a their person.
Chinua Achebe was the the one that invented fraudulent oluada-igbo propaganda.

Shut up and cure your envy. Lol....

By his own account, equiano stated his Igbo origin. He was eboe (Igbo) who was born in essaka in the Benin empire. He was a Midwest Igbo.
