Omololu007:Pls your carry lies and go! They refers to gabon,eq guines and southern Nigeria as biafrans? Then what do they refers to Yoruba,togo,ghana,ivory coast,cameron,senegal,eastern and souther Africa? And why do they group gabon,eq guines and southern Nigeria differently? You keep exposing ur level of education. The Biafra u see in ancient African map has been there as a kingdom for hundreds of years. |

Omololu007: I'm more interested in what eko means in yoruba. I heard it is a Bini word. The Bini conquered yorrobers and named them. The Fulanis with hausa gave you the name bayerabe like slaves. Unlike Igbos that named themselves Igbokwe, Igbonacho, Igbogadi. There is nowhere 'yoruba' is recorded in their history. The fulanis after naming you, used the hausa slaves to conquer you and put Emirs on your land. How will you explain to your grandchildren that you have an Emir(put there by his ab00ki shoemaker) and not an Oba in yorubaland when his Igbo friend mocks him in school? 1 Like |

GENTLENNAJI:A lot of ibos don't even know the meaning of biafra,yet they keep screaming biafra up and down.Biafra is a word that was gotten from the subgroup biafar or biafada of the Tenda ethnic group who reside in guinea-bissau.the European travellers refer to people from some part of cameroon,gabon and gambia as biafrans,so it has nothing to do with ibos alone or the eastern part of Nigeria. |
Re: The true meaning of the word Biafra by Nobody: 7:06pm On Aug 28, 2015 |
