BakireBulmaker:Olaude Ekwualo is from Imo State, Orlu District precisely Iboe slave routes at that time: from OnuImo to Uburu next Aro then Calabar or Obuaku to Opobo Bonny and so on his great grand nephews alive today look exactly like him |

This is of lineage of Ekweanua (Equiano- being Americanized spelling ). My late distance Uncle - SDC Ufondu once told the story. Had met with the Equiano family in America, engaged them on their family history. If we are to go by what SDC Ufondu said the Equiano's are from the Ekweanua family of the Ezeoguine - Royal Family - Obiuno Ototlo, Nnewi in Anamabra State. Ezeoguine Dynasty is the Nnewi Royal Family which Orizu Royal family is the head, hence Igwe Kenneth Orizu, is the Igwe of Nnewi. |

bestview:Isseke ko, issiki ni. Check his wikki, no where near anambra was mention. That I was born in a particular village does not mean I am from there. He's is edo man. |

bakynes:I don't think he was confused. I think we are the ones complicating the issue. Reading his autobiography, understanding of geography in his time and understanding of semantics in his time, will point at where he hails from. So I must participate in this thread. Okay. |

Isn't Olaudah Equiano Edo? Most narrations say he was. His knowledge of Igbo language though helped in chronicling the history of the Igbo. Where was it written that he was from Anambra? In any case, where he was from is not of importance. Why is it that some people always want to live life vicariously through the deeds of other people? If your tribesman has an achievement, it's not your achievement. Go and make your own name. |

"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. After changing ownership several times, Equiano met his sister again, but they were separated and he was taken across a large river to the coast, where he was held by European slave trader" That is from his biography. |

blaqoracle:I wonder o! This is a man that clearly said he was kidnapped in his home in Benin but these guys are going gaga about him being igbo. |

Chukazu:Oga, etsako is not igbo extraction. |
| Re: Google Clebrates Olaudah Equiano's 272nd Birthday With Image by Amarabae(f): 12:35pm On Oct 16, 2017 |
STILESGANG:the man in question confirmed it himself that he was a citizen of benin empire and from the Igbo by tribe. Which means he was from the Igbo stock that lived close to benin and his village was under the influence of bini. So whats there to twist? |
| Re: Google Clebrates Olaudah Equiano's 272nd Birthday With Image by IamLaura(f): 12:37pm On Oct 16, 2017 |
bakynes:The person is correct,sometimes a name may have different meanings depending on the pronunciations and intonations. According to his book....

giftq:I don't want this to result to insults I am neither Bini or Igala so why ask me this question. Best way to prove he his Igbo and shut everyone out is to post the link of his own writing of his origin. |

TEYA:you sound so pained, equaino confirmed it in his autobiography that he is Igbo who lived in benin. So why the painment? The world have recognised him as an IGBO MAN and there is nothing you can do about it. |

bakynes:They have been showing you proofs that he is Igbo by Igbo-phobia is not allowing you to process the information. Example ===> The "year" was called "ah-affoe" in Olaudah's language. In Igbo the 'year' is called 'áfọ̀' ************************************************************ "They calculated our time, and foretold events, as their name imported, for we called them Ah-affoe-way-cah, which signifies calculators or yearly men, our year being called Ah-affoe" ---- The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, page 11 |
