Olaudah Equiano, an Igbo man wrote this, about Benin, nearly two and half centuries ago , in his autobiography published in England about the year 1789

"That part of Africa known by the name of Guinea, to which the trade for slaves is carried on, extends along the coast
above 3400 miles, from the Senegal to Angola, and includes a variety of kingdoms. Of these the most considerable is the kingdom of BENIN, both as to extent and wealth, the richness
and cultivation of the soil, the power of its king, and the number and warlike disposition of the inhabitants."

" It is situated nearly under the line, and extends along the coast about 170 miles, but runs back into the interior part of Africa to a distance hitherto I believe unexplored by any traveller.....
This kingdom is divided into many provinces or districts:
in one of the most remote and fertile of which, called Eboe..."

Worthy of note here is the man's acknowledgement that Benin was the most considerable of all the kingdoms or Empires that graced the Guinea /South Atlantic side of the African continent and the fact also that Benin had many provinces that included the Ibo country.

The big question is, why would the erudite and well traveled Olaudah Equiano fail to mention or even consider the other ethnic nations of the region, being worthy of any considerable significance in the whole of the Guinea coast and beyond, other than Benin?
