For the avoidance of doubt, Biafra spans from Itsekiriland on the western boundary with Oduduwa to Bakassi on the eastern boundary with the Cameroons. Biafra also stretched from Idoma and Igala lands on the northern boundary with Arewa or Northern Nigeria to the Bight of Biafra which is south of the beautiful island of Bonny.

In 1966,  more than 60,000 Biafrans  were murdered in the streets of the Northern states.  In May 29, 1967 alone, about 200,000 Biafran men, women and children wer
