Does your ADMISSION mean that the igbos eyes are on ijaw Oil? That's why the attache by force has been on effect for some time.

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.

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

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.

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

deantimes:


Brother, Igbos will never leave their kinsmen annexed to other geo-political zones and go with five states, if you guys don't want SS to be dragged along de-annex those indigenous Igbos annexed to the SS.

Besides who cares about oil? Is it not the same oil in Anambra, Imo and Abia? What's the cacophony about?

ubaobi:
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.

Thinktwicemybro:

Also add igbos in Lagos to Biafra.

Coldie:
Originally it's true, the original bight of Biafra is the coastal areas of the southsouth, since southsouth and south east used to be one in the past, they gave the defunct country a name from the southsouth to show solidarity apart from that the name was brought about by an ijaw man.

They did this to ensure togetherness.

Many people don't know that the original name of Bight of Benin was bight of Biafra, but it was changed by the Nigerian government to erase any traces of the Biafra

Throwback:


And the Bight of Benin is named after which Benin?

So whatever route you take, you will still arrive at the fact that Republic of Benin is a borrow of the name Benin from the defunct empire that is in present day Nigeria.

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.

GerogeI:


You are simply saying same thing, they borrowed the word, why does not matter. By Asari Dokubo's standard it should have been Bight of Iteskiri, since they were at the coast, lol.

Further more, The name Benin, formerly spelt Benen is also Portuguese, in case you are wondering. The real people actually refer to themselves as "Edo"

Newton85:
It was named because it's located on the so-called "Bight of Benin". It wasn't named after the Benin empire, end of. But then, this is social media where people hold on tenaciously to the erroneous information they disseminate.

BornRicch:

Why won't you learn instead of being arrogant. I'm sure you're an Afonja man.

Seerade029:


The map of that Benin empire is wrong.

I can see it covered Ondo state

DuwaRepublic:


It’s not wrong, Ondo state was part of the Benin empire

naijapips04:


who is the Nnamdi fool to determine where the capital of the Biafra would be? Who is he to lord what should happen and what shouldn't in an arrangement that has people from other clans, entities? isn't that madness?
