Jewish slavers operating from the Port city of Mafra will name a coastal town in Cameroun Mafra.

The adjourning bight waters of the Atlantic were named Bight of Mafra and in old maps written in abbreviation as Bi. Mafra.

The British will later change it to Biafra after they chased Portogesse slavers from the region



Funny how they named their country after a Jewish slave port
