Niger Delta agitator, Asari Dokubo says the name “Biafra” was coined by an Ijaw man and has nothing to do with the Igbos.
Asari, who disclosed this during a live TV interview on Wednesday, said Ijaw is Biafra and that the Ijaws are divided between the bight of Benin and the bight of Biafra.
Asari, also criticized the leader of the Indigenous people of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu for trying to create an Igbo nation called Biafra.
“Ijaw is Biafra. Ijaws are divided between the Bight of Benin and and the Bight of Biafra. We are the owners of Biafra. Biafra is an Ijaw name, we own it”
“The territory identified as Biafra is Ijaw. Maybe a little ibibios towards the end and Oron people.”
“The real Biafra, the name Biafra, the geographical location Biafra is Ijaw and a little Oron and a little bit Ibibio,” he said.
