igbos in benue, rivers delta and some parts of edo nko?

we are coming up

The map is funny for different reasons

The first is that the contitution of the federal Republic of Nigeria does not recognise anything like South East, South South or Niger Delta. What the constitution recognises are tribes such as Igbo, Ijaw, Anang, Ibibio etc. So in essense, anyone talking about SE/SS or Niger Delta had better know in what context that comes in because anything not recognised in the constitution is illegal.

Another reason I find this map funny is that both my parents are proud Igbos. But this funny map put my fathers community in Biafra and my mothers community in the Niger Delta. How come? What is the map based on?

The final reason why the map is funny is because the area refered to as Biafra in the map is largely an Igbo area. Biafra has never been an Igbo only thing like many have come to believe. The last President of Biafra, General Philip Effiong, was not an Igbo man. The person who came up with the name 'Biafra' was an Ijaw man called Frank Opigo. The Chief secretary of the Biafran Government under Ojukwu was Mr N Akpan, an Annang man. Biafra is not even an Igbo word.
