Well it is OK to borrow a name from a neighbouring tribe. Gold Coast borrowed the Ghana name from the defunct Ghana empire in West Africa that was not anywhere near the territorial geography of modern Ghana. Dahomey borrowed the Benin name from the defunct Benin empire in West Africa that is currently within Nigeria. So Dahomey became Benin Republic. So I see nothing wrong that an Ijaw will provide the Igbos the name to call their Igboland, from the now defunct coastal description called Bight of Biafra. 227 Likes 4 Shares

God bless Asari Dokubo aka Alabo-Ediabali for saying this raw truth and fact. Biafra as a name belongs to Ijaw. Ask all these Igbos shouting biafra the meaning of it they don't know just that Their fugitive leader told them to be calling biafra. How can I be part of what I doesn't know the meaning and something that has links to Ijaw people ( James Manager comes to mind)...A name with no single meaning in Igbo language.

This pig is right, the Bight of Biafra (officially called the Bight of Bonny, is a bight off the West African coast, in the easternmost part of the Gulf of Guinea. It was where slave traders ship slaves to Europe. Ojukwu in his greed to have the oil included ijaw lands to the igbo nation but he was betrayed by Ken saro wiwa and the ijaw kingsmen who did not want to be second class citizens. Ojukwu chose the name Biafra to please the ijaws. My advise for the igbos is to accept their five states and move on. The oil in Nigeria is a curse. the world is moving towards clean energy and the igbos are enterprising. 57 Likes 2 Shares

All these divide and rule tactics are all for selfish reasons. The defunct Biafran nation had an Igbo President from Anambra state (present day South East) and Obong Philip Effiong as Vice President, from Akwa Ibom state (Present day south south) . The so called " IGBO COUP" that led to the counter coup and ultimately the declaration of biafra was led by Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu, an Anioma man from present day Delta state in South South region. He wasn't even from the south east but was conveniently labelled an IGBO MAN. But the same people will tell you that Igbos only have five states, Igbos are landlocked bla bla bla. 99 Likes 9 Shares |

Asari Dokubo by this envious clarification has further made me to believe that Nnamdi Kanu has been right all along that d Ijaws and d greater part of South South are Biafra. Nnamdi Kanu has never faulted that an Ijaw man coined d name Biafra nor has he pushed for an Igbo Biafra but has pushed for a Biafra whose components are d geographical space that constitute d old Eastern States. Nnamdi Kanu is surprised that rather than all d people from this area joining force with him to restore d defunct Biafra they are filled with envy, jealousy and hate and infected with d divide and rule mentality dia oppressors always throw at them. It's on record that Nnamdi Kanu always said that Igweocha which is Port Harcourt will be d Capital of Biafra he is pushing for. 90 Likes 6 Shares |
