False. The are was not known as Biafra before the Portuguese came. There was no kingdom or land of Biafra anywhere in recorded history before Ojukwu took on the name for his new country.
Some people just assumed that because the Portuguese named the bight - bight of Biafra, it assume there was an actual land called Biafra. It also means there is a land called Good hope, since the English named a cape in South Africa - Cape of good hope.

According to the fake map produced (yes fake map because the people living close to the sea (or bight), the Ijaws, never at any time in history called themselves Biafrans, Cameroon should be renamed Biafra, as most of Cameroon is inside Biafra.

That means that Nigeria is much worse. At least with Biafra, it was Africans like Ojukwu and Frank Opigo that chose the name, even if whatever reason

In case of you Nigerians, it was Lugards girlfriend, later wife, that chose your own name for you.

I would rather have African men like Ojukwu and Opigo choose the name of my country, than be you Nigerians who answer the name that the girlfriend of a colonial master from Europe picked for you all

Sure, you'd rather choose a name coined by the Portuguese even if you don't know the meaning than picking a local name you coined yourself. At least, we all know the meaning of Nigeria even if it was coined by the British.Why not pick names like Mars or Jupiter if an African suggested it?

You and your leader Nnamdi Kanu hate Britain but Kanu rushed to get her citizenship and living there at the moment while you're still here as a Nigerian. Las las na you go tire, Kanu seems more sensible than many people.

Many people have heard about the Biafran nation but not many know much about its history, how it came about and also how the name was coined.

Surprisingly, the name Biafra didn't come from an Igbo person, contrary to what many people would be thinking, because the majority of their agitators are from the Eastern part of Nigeria (Igbos)

Bikonu, we the leaders of Igbo's have decided to accept Islam. We have allowed our northern masters to Islamize us in the EAst. We will build mosques in all our Government Houses and every nook and cranny of the East.

Islam has come to stay in the EAst and we are proud to be Igbo MUSLIMs. grin grin May God bless our Aboki masters.

You are pained that we Igbo's are forging ahead. 40% of Igbo's are now Muslims. Two Eastern Governors have also converted. Governor WillI Obiano has converted and he is now officially known as, Alhaji Willi Obiano a.k.a AlhajI Musa Bello. While Governor Hope Uzodinma also converted and he is now known as, Alhaji Hope Uzodinma a.k.a AlhajI Abubakar.

God bless our Aboki masters.

Chief Frank Opigo did not create the name, Biafra. Instead he suggested the name and it was accepted.

Frank Opigo an Okirika man was the one who came up with name Baifra,he was the former Administrative Governor of Yenogoa province in Eastern Nigeria.

I do not think Chief Frank Opigo is an Okirika man. I think he hails from Shagbama in Bayelsa State. Although he had a connection with Okirika.

The crude with which provides the foreign currency with which you guys depend on for your importation and trading business has not helped anybody in Nigeria?
