Interesting what came up from my research... An extract from the 1701 book entitled: “A System of Geography: Or, A New & Accurate Description of the Earth in All its Empires, Kingdoms, and States. Containing the Description of Asia, Africa, America)” by Moll Herman. Page 120. “The Kingdom of Biafar” Your thoughts? 5 Likes

valirex:In those ages there was no concept countries. Europeans were deep into monarchy and had kingdoms and kings. It's not surprising if that's what the author could come up since that's the terminology he is most familiar with. I don't believe this btw, I meant the book. Biafra as we know it started existing just before the civil war, coined from the bight of Biafra. |

If not for queen Elizabeth that dashed Igbo people obi of Onitsha, Igbos normally don't have any culture. Even in the early 1900s, they were still wandering around with leaves, naked eating themselves. 1 Like |

The word ' Biafra ' yes! And that's because it wasn't the original IBO word to start with. |

GidiCars3: ibos should be grateful that the white colonialists came around and helped by upgrading them from being a CLAN to being a TRIBE. Biafra is a cameroun derived word, ibos started using the word around the time of the Nigerian civil war. These guys should learn to be factual and not twist reality we sef sabi histiry nah..... 1 Like |
