What does Biafra mean?

I know the name was adopted from Bight of Biafra. Biafra is a composition of two words BI and AFRO, to denote a virtual cutting of Africa into two by the Equator. BIAFRA is the catchy phrase given to the bight below the Delta and Cameroon.

You are running away from Nigeria, a name given by a foreigner, to form Biafra, another name formulated by a foreigner.

Anyway, this Biafra that you are emotionally and egotistically connected to, what bearing does it have to your culture, customs, rituals, aspirations or even history? Unlike Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Bayelsa and Rivers people, you are not even close by it.

You need to come up with a new name for your sovereignty.

@ OP, I think you've run out of oil for your soup. P/s, go to mile 12 market and get more oil from your ewusa/fulani masters and prepare more Yoruba .

Quit that oil soup you eat on daily basis. Look at yourself and see what oil soup has done to you.

Why and how did Oduduwa fall from the sky? Was he pushed by God, by Satan or by some angels?
How did a renegade/rebellious Benin prince become the Yoruba progenitor
How is Yabatech the third oldest institution of higher learning in Africa and 27th in the world.
Why did Awolowo commit suicide?

So many questions, no answers.

Ngodigha,

Nah! Knowing how mouthy you folks are, was he pushed by God you would have said so with so much glee. He must have been pushed down by the devil. Imagine even the devil rejected your progenitor. Then the Benins rejected him too.

This is how Odudunwa came from heaven

Pls @OP get your data straight Biafra is not gotten from any english word Bi Afro such is a product of your lucid dreams. Biafra is an igbo word meaning "Come Ephraim" thats Bia(come) Fra(corrupted form for Ephraim the israelites).

That is logical, but is it accurate? If Fra is a corrupted name for Ephraim, can we say France is from the same root word? How about Frankfurt and Francisco, are all these from the corrupted Ephraim also? Also, how is it that a location outside of Iboland bears a reference to Ephraim, one of your Jewish ancestors when there is not a single reference point on your own land for this honor to him?

Thanks for the enlightenement.

for the sake of clarity the history of the ibo people took various dimension, first during the assyrian invasion of Jerusalem the tribe of Gad(10th son of Jacob) left for safety reason to Ethiopia and sudan before following the river down to the southeast where they settled. They were later joined by the tribe of Zebulun and the priestly Eri(NRI which is the ancestral homeland of Ndi igbo stil in Anambra state today). Archeological in 1917 the most sacred symbol of the jews where found in Nri(igbo land) thats the STAR OF DAVID how does it get there? .do you know that Igbo or Ibo is a corrupt word for Hebrew? It was pronouned HEEBO so the whitemen spelt it Ibo instead of Igbos(hebrews). Awka capital of Anambra is a corrupt form of original pronounciation *ORKA* etc

WOW!! How come you know this and your dumb brothers - ak47, bashr, ngodigha, Fire and the rest - do not? Have you thought about teaching this history? This is my first time hearing of this Ibo relationship to GAD and Jews, amazing discovery.

Thank you dude! . . . . but you still have not answered my question. How come you do not have any honor to Ephraim or Fra on your land but you named the bight for him and the bight does not even belong in your territory? Thats mind boggling, dont you think?

As an original Igbo boy, if u ask me i will say Biafra stand 4 BIA=come n FURU=see. Which means COME n SEE d Gods Own Country, Isreal replica . Am out.

there you are wrong. It is a common knowledge that we are related biologically to the Niger Deltans infact Akwa Iboms are the first counsin of the Ibos. We share many things in common with them e.g The Gov of River is an ikwere man yet he bears an igbo name Chibuike(igbo name meaning: GOD IS My strength) Rotimi Amaechi(igbo name meaning: who knows tommorow). Even mr President is fr Bayselsa yet he bears an ibo name Ebele(meaning Mercy)etc. Therefore, the Niger Deltans are our brother until oil was discovered and brothers began to betray and denial their brothers, dont forget even the greatest igbo God Amadioha originated from River state right at the mouth of the atlantic ocean and the bight of Biafra. So in summary the south south and south east ditchotomy was an artificial creature by the FG to bring disunity in Iboland and ensure that Biafra never rise again because the 1967 boundary by Gowon deprieved the ibos access to the sea and make us a landlock country. Its purely artificial-thanks

Can you now be so kind as to inform us as to how Awo committed suicide and who pushed Oduduwa from the sky?
