Throwback:
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.

The map of that Benin empire is wrong.

I can see it covered Ondo state

Who cares what this confused man thinks. Millions already paid the supreme price for the name, posterity will forever use that name Biafra to immortalize them.
Their death for the cause of freedom will never be in vain.

FYI, Asari has Igbo blood in him. We are used to our Eastern neighbours speaking from all corners of their mouth. At the right time, everyone must answer his father's name. Ka Chineke mezie okwu

There was no Benin Empire rather Benin kingdom, the only empire south of Niger then was Oyo Empire

Asari dokubo is useless, biafra is not an Ijaw name, ijaws really don't go to school, they always refuse to read

Why fighting on who owns Biafra, why not all the tribes that claims Biafra come together to agree to fight and form a confederal state where component units are allowed autonomy to control their resources and develop at their own pace. I think at the end, even the Coastal region will understand that this is the best approach to freedom fighting. Remember nobody is perfect, no group can say they have it all. Let mutual understandings reign.

For him saying Igbos has no connection with Biafra means this man don't even know the history of Biafra.

Am not a Biafran but Mazi Kanu knows Nigeria very well than this man.

These guys should make up their mind. Bight of Biafra is in Ijaw but the Republic of Biafra is mainly the Igbos. Declare ur own republic or shut up.

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.

We will not accept the 5 Eastern States..
You will not get your hands on Niger Delta oil..

God bless Asari Dokubo aka Alabo-Ediabali for saying this raw truth and fact.

Biafra as a name belongs to Ijaw. As 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.

Alu melu
What is the meaning of Nigeria in Igbo language?
What is the meaning of Africa in Igbo language
What is the meaning of biafra in ijaw language?
