Please tell me where Essaka is located in Igbo land
Equiano himself said he is eboe (igbo) from essaka. Isseke is in Anambra state.
The white men could not spell african names well.

I pity yolobats. After all their claims of First in education and literacy, history has proved otherwise. Smh.

Go away. The benin slave history is well documented from the 1700s. They know he is not their son hence the benin people have never claimed him.

Jealous yolobats edited wikipedia to put benin there. Unfortunately, Equiano Olaudah is a purely igbo name. Numerous researchers have studied his life.

SHAME on Yolobats.
They are NOT the First to receive Western education, exposure and enlightenment. Years of lies and propaganda have been shattered.

Shame.

somebody wrote his autobiography and even stated exactly where he was born, yet you are trying to force him to be an Igbo.

Is it because he is no longer alive to clarify his claim

Nonsense. Yolobats can go to any length to cover their shame. Unfortunately, they have lost this one.

SHAME SHAME SHAME. I wont debate this with you. Even your yolobat history profs can not debunk this one. Sorry.

The Igbo man is the first black man to receive Western education and enlightenment. Thus, the Igbo man is the first Literate black creature.

Sorry for Yolobats.

Yolobats claiming First in education since time immemorial is all LIES. Chai

I feel your pain. I first researched Equiano Olaudah about 3 years ago when FFK published his diatribe against igbos. And an igbo historian responded. Than i did my own unbiased checks.

Am sorry but the yoloba man is NOT the first black man to attain Literacy. Sorry

Equiano Olaudah is NOT benin. Benin was a powerful empire for ages and their slave history is well documented from the 1500s. They know he is not their son hence the benin people have never claimed him.

Dont mind the guy. He is pained. I visited Equiano's wikipedia page 3 yrs ago and his roots was stated there as eboe (white man's spelling of igbo).

Today, i visited the same page and i see benin. I immediately deduced that one Yolobat has edited the page. Since they were unable to find an educated yoloba slave before equiano, they resorted to the Benin jargon. Nonsense.

The Igbo people (English: /ˈɪɡboʊ/; Igbo or Ibo.) In some historical books and past literatures they have also been referred to as Iboe, Ebo, Eboe, Eboans , and Heebo.

In Olaudah Equianos book, he said that "our year being called Ah-affoe"

Year in Igbo is 'Afo'



Olaudah Equiano also said that his name 'Olaudah' means a loud good thing. Loud in Igbo is 'udah' and Ola means precious stone or metal.

For those yelling Eboe, Benin, Anambra, Delata, remember, what we had back in the days were names like:

Bini for Benin
Bendel for Benin and Delta.

Esseke could had been Etsako in Edo or Ishieke or so in Anambra.

Equianos could had been Ekwaino in the East.


In addition, those villages were geographically separated by forests, not by boundaries of states.

He could have been born an Edo boy, who was migrated early to Anambra or born in Anambra but migrated to Bini through, of course Delta.

Anywhichway, slavery operations majorly took place on coastal fronts or "cities", not landlocked regions.

In addition, most slaves in West Africa were from southern regions of Nigeria and Gold Coast( Ghana) and maybe Freetown.


Just a simple something I thought of.

Nope that's where ur wrong.
Slavery actually took place in those places you termed as "landlocked" regions,they were captured and driven to the coastal areas before being put on those ships.
Mind you those pple you referred to as coming from "landlocked" regions have deep historical practices and links with their stolen brothers in the carribeans.
Research on the Igbo landing in USA,"jokunnu masquerade" in Jamaica and the carribean and the "obeah spirituality"
Not everyone is ignorant on this forum.
