xrisdon: Where is Roman today ? Do you have any idea how many kingdoms have come and gone. Nigeria govt exercised its authority on a location it as jurisdiction. Naming the place bight of Biafra is a gesture of what the Igbo do not appreciate about Nigeria so denying them that privilege by renaming it bight if Bonny is in order. What makes the Igbo think they can wail claiming victim to have whatever they desire in Nigeria is what I do not understand. The ocean that as no link to you was named after you out of respect. You are here claiming victim when it's was named after those with boundary to the ocean. Listen good Igbos your father and forefathers do not have more right than the aaboki next door nor will your future generation yet unborn have more right than any tribe in Nigeria. It does not matter whether you are Jews from the pith of hell or not. I do not care. |

TonyeBarcanista:Even though we know you're an ijo supremacist, I think there's no need to spread lies here. The water body called Owara Biafra(bight of Biafra) is a water body whose coastline runs from palm point in bayelsa to a point short of cape Lopez in Gabon. That shows that its bordered by 4 nations viz 1]Nigeria/Naijiria 2]Cameroon/Kamerun 3]equatorial Guinea/Guini ekuatoria 4]Gabon The Nigerian portion of which you're boasting is ijo is dominated by both Ijoid and Ibibioid groups,of which the greater portion is Ibibioid. And you know as well as I do that the Ibibios would rather have it as bight of Biafra than bonny. At times you Ijos make outlandish claims...and the Ibibios are yet to forgive you guys for dragging a clearly Ibibioid group(the Obolos) with them. 1 Like |

xrisdon: Naming the bight of Biafra is Like many mistakes the Europeans made about Africa. They chose to identify locations with what they are comfortable with. Nigerians are also comfortable with this until a demented Biafra thought of seceding from the federation. The govt was left with no choice but abrogate bight of Biafra we all know as nothing to do with Biafra except the well known recognition Biafra to lesser known bight of Bonny. This rightly put paid to the daydreaming of the Biafrans thinking their land extend to the coastline and at the same time ensure that the natives of the coastline of the bight could have its name associated with their town. This is what the Igbo are bitter about now. There's no opportunity to lay a fraudulent claim that the bight of Biafra which is now bight of Bonny is part of Biafra. I hope Igbos will not commit suicide because FG no allow make una thief bight of Bonny. |

It is FG's prerogative to name its property whatever it so wish. The same way our currency was changed from pounds to naira. |

Ballmer: you are just beating around the bush, the bight of biafra extends beyond Nigeria, ......up to Gabon, so why haven't igbos claim Cameroon and Gabon as part of their territory?? |

TonyeBarcanista:Barca pls some of us respect and adore ur person for ur forthrightness and honest analysis of issues especially on natnl issues but with this ur seemingly Igbophobic cum Biafraphobic display of late; ur sincere fan base might deplete. Someone asked a question about d change of Bight of Biafra (its original name even before year 1849) to Bight of Bonny in 1972 after d civil war and referred u to Wikipedia and d best response u gave is this defence of Ijaw this Ijaw that. One wud v expected d normal Barca to v researched more and eruditely update most masturbators dat Biafra was long in existence before d birth of Nigeria by Flora Shaw but u chose to play local champion. To succeed as a respectable critic, u must not play to d gallery on facts even when it affects ur family. As an advice, refrain from being seen as anti- Biafra as ur argument at best has shown dat Bonny cum ur Ijaw are actually Biafrans and this truth d Hausa/Fulani plus dia SW accomplices will never want u to know by always throwing up their divide and rule mentality against us. 1 Like |
