lol I am telling you igbos are being programmed with this whole biafra thing. you are like sleeper cells waiting to be activated and the bait is this whole biafra thing. your elites know the truth. they know your real history. but they need you commoners as their weapon so they have you emotionally vested in this whole fake biafra thing. very soon another 3 million of you will walk into your death trap based on lies. i am here to open your eyes bro, LAND BELONGS TO NO MAN. WE ARE ALL MIGRANTS.
So you knew all along yet you opened a thread to tell us the land on which we stand doesn't belong to us.

so am looking at this map of nigeria in the 1800s and it shows yoruba and hausa and nupe territories and there is no mention of igbo. the igbo territories belonged to Niger protectorate and coast. my question is are igbos really from nigeria ? I am starting to think they migrated from cameroon to that region in the late 1800s. so the question is if they are Cameroonians why do they want to form biafra in nigeria ? look at this map and tell me i am wrong

Actually, both the yorubas and the hausas territories had been conquered as at 1800, the igbos were yet to be taken over hence, they were not yet included in the map. The igbo territories were the last to be subdued of all Britain colonial territory of Nigeria. Part of why they dislike the igbos because the igbos were stubborn and hard to crack..It took Britain 40yrs to subdue the igboland totally
the Igbo territories were farther in. Had nothing to do with being stubborn.

Nigeria was created in 1914. Were the Igbos occupants of the British territory called Nigeria in 1914? Yes they were.

End of story.

I am loving this thread, for the actions and the inactions of the enemy will help in revealing the truth.
One truth that the enemies of biafra have revealed in this thread is that Biafra is much more older than Nigeria but what is not established yet is the territorial boundaries of Biafra.
All historical evidences presented so far showed that Biafra is/was always East or Southeast of present Nigeria.

Sources were even provided from IPOB website that showed the Cameroonian origins of the Biafrans.

@oladeebo Where in my post was Biafra mentioned? Where did you find that,sir? If the ibos have changed the name of their tribe to biafra then I am afraid I ain't aware of that. The tribe has always been known as ibo from earliest record and I don't think much has changed. The Biafra issue is a new dimension. What the Portuguese named or christened biafra was a region stretching from the Kameruns(or perhaps parts of eastern Nigerian coast in my opinion) to what is today Gabon. With time the water body south of that region(stretching from the eastern region of what is today Nigeria to Gabon) somehow came to be known as the bight of biafra(today bight of Bonny since the end of the civil war). When the time came for Ojukwu to name his country the name of the water body south of the Eastern region came in handy and he called it Biafra. So,as Nigeria got its name from a water body(a river) so did Biafra get its name from another water body(a bay/bight) this time...

@oladeebo When he called the country Biafra,he was not trying to admit the bogus claims like the ones we have here that the ibos were or are not from somewhere in Cameroun or wherever he merely named it after a geographical feature-in this case,the Bight of Biafra. A name had to come from somewhere. Infact,I read somewhere where it was stated that the name "Biafra" just tickled his fancy and he picked it.

@sukkot Even the yorubas will tell you that their ancestors moved into what is now Nigeria from Egypt(or Arabia). The Kibakus(of chibok fame) will tell you they migrated from outside the borders of this country to where they are today. The ancestors of the Kanuris lived East of the lake Chad(present-day Chad) before moving to where they are today. And there are many tales like that as far as the tribes in this country are concerned. So,even if the ibos moved to where they are now from Cameroun,burkina faso or wherever how is that a problem. How the constitution defines who a citizen is is what we,as educate as we are,should be looking at. Not some derelict piece of cartography that goes way back to the 1800s. For that reason I will refer you to section 25. Case closed. Besides trolling ain't a mature thing to do since it merely exposes you. Nothing personal. Got nothing to lose or gain from this baseless topic. Salaam. I'm out.

I believe no one is too old to learn.











Nigerian constitution.
