The fact that this Man associates himself with common sense is an insult to common sense!

Bight of Biafra isn't removed or erased from the map, the name of the geographical feature was only changed from Bight of Biafra to Bight of Bonny!

Gathering momentum.

No contradiction here!
You could have got things confused.

If River Niger's name is changed, does that mean the River (Niger) has been removed or erazed from the Nigerian map.

We are talking of a geographical feature of geological formation here, not an artistic feature.

Stop playing smart...the truth is that it was removed (erased) from the map. The map is there but no "bight of biafra" to represent what it used to, simple.
Do if he rephrase it to "change to" will you give an answer? The import of the statement was clear from tge beginning but it seems you want to dodge the question

Where is the connection of Abia. Ebonyi, Imo, Anambra or Enugu mentioned in that write up?

Even looking at the map you can see clearly that the area is in present day SS.

The government tried to delete Igbo/Biafran history. But the internet said...*in Igbo, "Si eba puo"

OAUTemitayo:

the name that existed before your great-grand father was born?

Young man stop publicizing ignorance!

Bight is a curve or bend in a coastal area not people.

Bight is geomorphological, hence physical geography and not human geography. So let the cyber world be free from your ignorance!

AFONJA THE PLACES U PUT UR HEAD CREATES A LIABILITY TO LOSE UR HEAD.

BIGHT OF BIAFRA, BIGHT OF BENIN AND NIGER REPUBLIC, ARE LAND MARK FOR THE THREE MAJOR NATIONS OR TRIBE THAT MAKE UP NIGERIA.

YORUBA ARE FROM BIGHT OF BENIN, HAUSA ARE FROM NIGER REP AND IGBOS, IJAW, IBIBIO, EFIK ETC ARE FROM BIGHT OF BIAFRA.

WHO GIVE U RIGHT TO RENAME OUR COUNTRY, ALL THE WAY FROM BENIN AND NIGER?

Y DID U NOT RENAME URS FIRST?

you think you're smart but you just made yourself look silly

Just like the way they stopped history in schools. What ever their fears are must surely consume them someday.

dont trust halfcast...who made that fool to senator to start with?...

So your great grand father knew anything called Biafra?
Are you for real.

you didn't look at the map properly, an area that extended to cameroun and Gabon.
it includes south South and south east.

haa! something is wrong somewhere, even the senator beging to realize, there is nothing Biafra in Nigeria territory!
God is great!
Anything Biafra exist is in Cameroon, Gabon and Equatorial guinea!
Biafra is smuggle into Nigeria by The counterfeit product smuggler!
when time come, Nigeria would claimed their land either by peace or by force!

OK. kindly tell me which of the 5 SE states shares boundary with bight of Biafra ?

kayzat:

They don't need to share boundaries because they already are in the bight of Biafra.
it was declared a British protectorate in 1849.

They don't need to share boundaries because they already are in the night of Biafra.

Hahahaha.

I caught you LoL, now let me explain things to you to show you how your laughter makes you realize you don't know what you're laughing at. The bight OF BENIN just tells you that this is a bight of the BENIN EMPIRE which the yorubas know so well, therefore the bight of Biafra will mean that this bight is the bight of BIAFRA LAND, There are Canterbury bight which is named after the Canterbury plains in Australia and Bay of Campeche which is surrounded by the Mexican state of Campeche and Flemish bight there are so many bights(bay) and they all link towards where it's situated.

Now let me see that your laughter again

HAHAHAHAHA

cc; whatever

HAHAHAHAHA

I laughed because there is no sense in your argument bro. It is only the SS states that can claim real connection or ownership of bight of Biafra and whereas the main Biafra is even outside of Nigerian territorial border.


I don't know why you guys can't fight over things that you shared significant connections with instead of claiming other peoples property.


What is the meaning of "Biafra" in Igbo ? bight of Biafra is in SS but it is you SE that is make noise over the name. What if the Rivers, bayelsans and Cross Riverians wake up tomorrow to agitate for a country excluding the South Easterners and they choose the same Biafra? You people will now start claiming you picked the name before them?
