Bight of Biafra Inlet, Africa Alternative title: Bight of Bonny Written by The Editors of Encyclopædia Britannica Bight of Biafra, also called Bight of Bonny, bay of the Atlantic Ocean on the western coast of Africa, extending east, then south, for 370 miles (600 km) from the Nun outlet of the Niger River ( Nigeria ) to Cape Lopez ( Gabon ). The innermost bay of the Gulf of Guinea, it is bounded by southeastern Nigeria, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, and northwestern Gabon and receives portions of the Niger and Ogooué river discharges and also the Cross, Sanaga, and many other rivers. Within the Bight of Biafra are several islands, the largest of which is Bioko , belonging to Equatorial Guinea. Major ports on the bay are Malabo (on Bioko), Port Harcourt and Calabar (Nigeria), Douala (Cameroon), Bata (Equatorial Guinea), and Libreville and Port-Gentil (Gabon). Between the 16th and the 19th century the Bight of Biafra was the scene of extensive slave- dealing operations, based mainly on the ports of Brass, Bonny, Opobo, and Old Calabar (now Calabar) in Nigeria. By the 1830s the palm oil trade had surpassed slave trading, and it has maintained its importance. Petroleum, discovered in the late 1950s in the Niger River delta, is a major economic resource. http://www.britannica.com/place/Bight-of-Biafra

Are you talking about the old eastern region or the modern day southeast? If you are talking about the southeast of today, it's a landlocked region, except if you want to grab lands from the SS like you are known for doing and make it part of biafra.
