[size=13pt] I usually don't comment on this kind of _stupid thread,but its evident that many of our young generation of igbo are also ignorant of their heritage. The word Biafra is coind from two IGBO WORDS 'bia' which means COME and 'fara' which means LIVE. NOTE: the "fra" was coind from the word "fara" . [/size] |

Omololu007: [size=13pt] I really feel sick by your stupidity. For the benefit of others. Ama throw more light for my brdas. The word "biafra" was coind from the two word "bia" and "fara" which is pronouced as biafara in 1642. But the colonial masters had problem pronouncing it has "biafara",so it was changed to "biafra" . The word "fara" means "join(I prefer to call it live)". It's very common in Imo. Anambra says "soro" but it could mean "soro ha" meaning "follow them". "fara" means join in the sense that *even though the space is small, we will try to accommodate you. Hope that gives you some sense..kid[/size] |

Biafara don't consist of only the Ibo tribe. Its a combination of tribes which includes most of the south south and extends into Cameroon. Now we have to think outside the box here, The Europeans made these boundaries and not around tribal borders. Just because you see a dot or a river that says Biafrara on an old Portuguese map doesn't mean the settlement of the Arabia people don't extend westward beyond the borders of Nigeria. On another note: The old Portuguese maps that people always refer to is total incorrect and can't be used as reference. the map was drawn with very little information. example, where is river Niger and river Benue? What is the river going across the desert etc. the attached map can also be a reference.
