Taking action here
Alot of pages on Lostpedia have been nominated for a rewrite, or a renaming. I'm going to go ahead and remove some of these and or rename or rewrite when nessisary. (I know its not spelled right, get off my back about it.) I think the page should be called Eko Tunde, with a redriect from Mr. Eko.

40 days
could refer to a few Biblical stories
- Old Testament/Torah -- after the flood, Noah and the ark adrift for 40 days and 40 nights before land was again seen.
- New Testament/gospels -- Jesus roaming through the desert for 40 days.
--BrianSTL 15:03, 29 November 2005 (PST)
Or the 40 years the Hebrews wandered in the desert before coming to the Promised Land.--Tricksterson
Church?
According to ABC's Lost diary, Eko and Charlie are building a church. --Jmast7 17:38, 6 April 2006 (PDT)
- yup, see location photo (spoiler) at Papailoa Beach article Santa 18:46, 12 May 2006 (PDT)
eko/locke <-> locke/boone?
just rewatching ? and there's an interesting little parallel there - the locke knocking out boone and discovering the plane... and then eko knocking out locke and rediscovering the same place in a totally different way... --kaini 19:36, 12 May 2006 (PDT)
Related to Ms. Klugh?
Where does THAT theory come from? It's like the theory I see all over the place that the Real Henry Gale is Rose's brother. I don't want to call anyone racist, but it seems a bit like profiling to me. Hey, maybe Jin and Sun are related to Marvin Candle! Maybe Shannon and Claire were cousins, since they're both blond! :: rolls eyes :: -- Amberjet11 09:58, 19 May 2006 (PDT)
==>*rolls eyes* Or maybe you should do your research. Because of a confusing diary entry from the ABC website, some people tried to make that connection between the real HG and Rose, not cause of skin color. And the Ms Klugh thing comes from flashbacks/images seen in the black smoke from Eko's memories, a woman in there resembled Ms Klugh... Again, rolling my eyes here. --Trix
I personally ascribe to this theory as well. In one of the many posts on Spoilerfix.com, it was revealed that "The images in the [monster] smoke [that faced Eko] are ALL very relevant. Some make sense to you now (like the church from Eko's flashback), some will make sense to you LATER (like the woman with the headdress)." Since it's generally accepted that all of the images are from Eko's past, the "woman in the headdress" is likely Ms. Klugh. And he isn't married. He can't be, he's a priest. The "Mr" came from his childhood. It was a nickname that just stuck with him. Levid37 06:47, 23 May 2006 (PDT)
Nigeria
The Yoruba are a West African ethnic group and that is also the name of their language. Has anyone else heard of him being from a specific place in Nigeria? Someone had in there that the largest city in Nigeria was called 'Lhasa' (which is the largest city and capital of Tibet), so I changed it to the correct name of the city, Lagos. Lagos was once a Yoruba settlement called Eko. I have no idea if Nigeria as a whole was once called Eko, but I doubt it. --Allium 16:39, 25 May 2006 (PDT)
Last name
Has it been confirmed that his last name is "Tunde"? I was under the impression that "Father Tunde" was a fake name he assumed while he was a priest in Australia (or maybe even back in Nigeria). He also has a fake name printed on his passport, so it's not far-fetched that he uses several aliases. If he used his real name as a priest, it would be easy for the Nigerian government to track him down and arrest and prosecute him for his drug crimes and murders. --Elvis 20:43, 13 June 2006 (PDT)
I assumed he took that name as he was still pretending to be Yemi - and being brothers I would assume that they had the same surname. I could be wrong.--LostCat 04:48, 29 August 2006 (PDT)
Mr. Eko's presence in Season 3
it is listed on the article page that "Mr. Eko will be in season 3 as he is listed on the cast list on IMDB" or something to that extent. Two issues:
- should this even be listed at all, as it is a bit of a spoiler. is character information on the article pages only meant to include what has been revealed in show?
- IMDB is not official, it should have a ABC affliated official source, correcct?

Rename
- It needs to be Eko Tunde, so matchs all the other main characters. Nobody calls him Mr. Eko excluding himself.--CaptainInsano 18:29, 23 September 2006 (PDT)
- Agree If we have a character's full name, why should the article be called anything else? --Fezir 13:16, 29 September 2006 (PDT)
- Disagree I can't find official confirmation that "Tunde" is anything but an alias. Pkal 12:54, 5 October 2006 (PDT)
- Disagree Agreed with Pkal, no confirmation at all that Tunde is anything more than an alias. He is in Australia under an assumed identity and also trying to procure a fake passport, so it is actually quite likely that he made up the name. --PandoraX 13:00, 22 October 2006 (PDT)
- Half Agree - I think it should be just Eko, no one calls him Mister any more. -Chris[dt7] 13:02, 22 October 2006 (PDT)
- No, Locke called him Mr. Eko in Further Instructions. No offense, meant, but by your logic, we should change Jack Shephard to simply Jack, because no one calls him by his last name. Pkal 09:44, 23 October 2006 (PDT)
- No offense meant either, but it would sound contradictory that Jack's article should be named after his full known name even if people generally don't use it but that Eko's article should be named after a nickname given to him by a mobster because some people still use it occasionally. At this point we know Jack's first and last names, but we don't know Eko's last name. In both cases, the idea is to go with what information is currently available about the character's real name. At first, we used Eko's nickname, because we didn't know anything more about him. Since then, "Eko" has been confirmed as his real first name. That's what we have at the present time. I agree with dt7 that "Eko" is what we should use. If - and when - we learn his last name (be it Tunde or something else), then we can add it. -- Cheers 11:32, 23 October 2006 (PDT)
- No, Locke called him Mr. Eko in Further Instructions. No offense, meant, but by your logic, we should change Jack Shephard to simply Jack, because no one calls him by his last name. Pkal 09:44, 23 October 2006 (PDT)
- Disagree: No official confirmation...--Gateboy42 13:41, 22 October 2006 (PDT)
- Rename to Eko. Per dt7, and reasons given above. -- Cheers 11:32, 23 October 2006 (PDT)
- Agree His name is Eko Tunde. Therefore, the page should be called Eko Tunde. --James W. 08:54, 25 October 2006 (PDT)
Mr. Eko's real name
Can someone please verify that in the flashback episode, Lost: A Tale of Survival, that Mr. Eko told Sawyer his full name?? I swear I heard him say it, but I don't have TiVO so I can't go back to check. It was during the part when Sawyer/Jin/Michael are walking across the island with the Tallies. If they did reveal his full name, then I think Mr. Eko's page should be updated to reflect it. --Ivalum21 06:28, 28 September 2006 (PDT)
- I don't think he revealed his real name on the Island. He says "Mr. Eko", and Sawyer replies with "So what's that like, Mr Ed?"
- Although, we do know he used the name Tunde while in Sydney, but we can't be sure whether this is his real name. -Chris[dt7] 02:43, 30 September 2006 (PDT)
Death?
I think Eko is going to die next week. The preview makes it look/sound like something sharp is thrown at him. And that TV guide spoiler guy said that there would be a major death of a regular male cast member. He also said it wouldnt be sawyer. --TimDM85 (Talk) 12:04 am, 26 October 2006 (PDT) jack dies and the blade doesnt kill him in the trailer
Theory
"Name sounds similar to Enkidu, the wild man of the woods from The Epic of Gilgamesh" Eko and Enkidu sound nothing alike. they share two letters but have differing vowel stresses and a different number of syllables. Following the logic of this theory, "sit" is similar to "surfing". Bad example, but the only one I could come up with. To me this theory tries a little too hard at finding a link. As far as theories go, this is one of the few ones that makes me say "WHAT?" --Mr Vain 07:07, 1 November 2006 (PST)
