Many people have heard about the Biafran nation but not many know much about its history, how it came about and also how the name was coined. Surprisingly, the name Biafra didn't come from an Igbo person, contrary to what many people would be thinking, because the majority of their agitators are from the Eastern part of Nigeria (Igbos) See Who and How the Name Was Created And Why + Photos https://www.anaedoonline.com/2020/02/29/meet-the-man-who-created-the-name-biafra-he-is-not-an-igbo-man/ 1 Like

He was an Ijaw man. That's why Asari Dokubo said Ijaws own them and not a single developer dared utter a word. 10 Likes 1 Share |

PFRB:When push comes to shove, you'd know that khaki no be leather. Ask Igbo PH residents before and during the war how they were identified and had to run away. Most of you don't want to learn from the past and are determined to repeat same mistake of the '60s all over again |

gidgiddy:False. The are was not known as Biafra before the Portuguese came. There was no kingdom or land of Biafra anywhere in recorded history before Ojukwu took on the name for his new country. Some people just assumed that because the Portuguese named the bight - bight of Biafra, it assume there was an actual land called Biafra. It also means there is a land called Good hope, since the English named a cape in South Africa - Cape of good hope. According to the fake map produced (yes fake map because the people living close to the sea (or bight), the Ijaws, never at any time in history called themselves Biafrans, Cameroon should be renamed Biafra, as most of Cameroon is inside Biafra. 3 Likes |
