He's right though he didn't put it well
Biāfra is composed of two syllables
Bia - come
Afra - join


The name is said to be a corruption of an ancient term which was B'efrayim(for Ephraim).

Pls your carry lies and go!

They refers to gabon,eq guines and southern Nigeria as biafrans?

Then what do they refers to Yoruba,togo,ghana,ivory coast,cameron,senegal,eastern and souther Africa?

And why do they group gabon,eq guines and southern Nigeria differently?

You keep exposing ur level of education.

The Biafra u see in ancient African map has been there as a kingdom for hundreds of years.

Just other ranks, no commissioned officers included

SFSNIPER:
If you have ever visited 26Battalion Sokoto you'll know what I mean. The CO Lt.Col. OO Ejere has been using soldiers to work on his groundnut as well as cattle/rabbit farms. These same soldiers go to work by 6pm and close by 6am and yet from 7am till 4pm they are working on the farm. Those with cattle close by 7pm and resume by 6am.
That is not military duty. Somebody please tell President Buhari to call him to order oooo. Those soldiers are suffering and are likely to get diseases. I couldn't get pictures so I don't look suspicious.

The name Biafra, its origin and meaning:
There was a Biafra before 1967which lost its sovereignty to colonial powers. “ Early modern maps of Africa from the 15th-19th centuries, drawn by European cartographers from accounts written by explorers and travellers, reveal that the original word used by the European travellers was not Biafra but Biafara, Biafar and sometimes also Biafares.” Now let me correct one impression about the meaning of Biafra as some believed it is a name given by Portuguese explorers. Biafara people are already known and addressed as Biafara people before they came in contact with the first European merchants. The word Biafra has its generics from “Ephraim” as pointed out by Martin Simon Ukegbe (a religious activist who suggested that the new Republic of Biafra of 1967 be called the Christian Democratic Republic of B”Ephrayim) the B there signifies the bay or bight so the word Biafara or Biafar has its root from B”Ephraim but the Europeans at that time called it Biafar-Biafara or Biafares. Researchers hold the view that the region is inhabited by descendants of Ephraim.

Princewill1:
Then if afra means 'to join'

What is the pronounce and meaning of 'Bia-fra'

brize:
Come and join..... Oya what of eko?

Princewill1:
Bi means 'come' in igbo
Afra means 'to join' or 'to attach'
So it means 'come and join'
In other words it means asylum.

Now Yoruba busy body focus more on Odua republic

Meaning is France Come!

It was actually the war of the Seven Sisters, France sponsored the civil war using Elf as front. France needed a share of Africa's largest deposit while UK wanted ownership of the deposit too. So UK sponsored Nigeria side to put Shell BP here.

The war that destroyed us, was actually sponsored by people who wanted to dominate our oil. Research about Seven Sisters, and the harm they have caused the world. From Lybia, to Iraq, Syria, Biafra/Nigeria to Sudan. These wars are orchestrated by the Oil Companies and their countries. Even Boko Haram was sponsored to distabilize Jonathan and give way for continuous depletion of the resources.

PvtParts:
The bastard Yoruba press will never report on this silent genocide rather they will do what their agbereoe fathers are known to do which is to lick Buhari's azz.

Odua this is what awaits you.
