He is not jealous of nnamdi kanu. He is worried about igbos trickery way and behavior. This is the main reason why we can never be together with the igbos
@arise: I believe Asari alluded the fact that the name "Biafra" had been there since 1700s. One point he made which I believe you misconstrued in the studio is that the name given to the proposed new republic was suggested by an Ijaw man. This much, Nnamdi Kanu acknowledged in one of his broadcasts
You are right sir. That is how I understood it. Asari did not say that the name Biafra originated from an Ijaw man. He was saying that the idea to adopt the name Biafra for that particular geographical location came from an Ijaw man.
Asari you are such a confuse and corrupt man. His Excellency Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has a class. Do you not see the protests and rallies going on all over the world today just because of this man you call 'empty in the head. Long live MNK. Man of the now
Don't worry your self for the saviour cry and said it is so painful that my people perish of ignorance that man need to go back to secondary school to learn only one subject which is History he lacked that well well
Asari you were begging Mazi Kanu to forgive you last time, today you’re abusing him. Makeup your mind lets know where you stand. Watch your mouth because is getting too big. Everybody should go their separate ways
I speak Portuguese very well but there's nothing like Biafra in Portuguese word but in Igbo there's (come and see) unlike Nigeria which has meaning in Portuguese ( Nigro.. Black, eria.. Locality or Location or Area, "Nigeria" black Area or location of black people).Simply Biafra was given by Portuguese but its an Igbo word.It was gotten from Igbos who called their brothers to come and see the Portuguese ( Bia furu ndi ocha potogiri) then the Portuguese started calling that Area (present day Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea and Old Eastern Nigeria) the name... Bight of Biafra in the 16th to 18th Century. Just as Hausa called Igbo nyamiri ( nyem mmiri... Give me water) this was also as a result of Igbos who were trecking from East to North,when they got thirsty ,they entered Hausa house and asked for water ( nyem mmiri.. Give me water)Then the hausas started calling Igbo "Nyemiri". But during the war Ojukwu called all the Biafrans elites and asked suitable name,then an Ijaw man suggested the name Biafra since it was already placed on the map.
One thing I understand about igbos is that they lack truth they talk or do anything the it will sult them. Where by making the truth to look like a lie why making the lie to be truth. Tell me where and how Biafra means (bia furu) in igbo land? Igbos are full of trickery. God forbid
Mr. Asari, as much as I respect you and what you stand for as man and human, The words you said that Kanu want an Igbo Biafra, you are being biased and prejudice I know for sure you say things like that to air your personal disdain for MNK. But certainly you know you are not telling the truth. MNK must have used a method that seems awkward for many people but the truth is that he's a sincere person who wants good of all. If Kanu want only Igbo Biafra he could have gotten it before now, because the Fulani are willing to let him have it. Now come to the issue of him giving BIAFRA as a Jewish state that is not truth, the issue is that his religion is Jewish, just like you are a Muslim, he only Expresses himself Based on his personal religion. I have never heard him try to suspend others from their right of worship.If you are truly willing to do Biafra I also think that your own method is not working too because you are being unstable.
Dr. Abati and rufai missed it here. They misunderstood Asari. Asari never said the name Biafra originated from an Ijaw man. Infact he pointed out clearly that the geographical location atound the ocean is known as Biafra and even Boro confirmed that in his book. However, the point Asari was trying to make is that the name for the new republic declared by Ojukwu was suggested by an Ijaw man Frank Opigo, and that that republic was not an Igbo -only Igbo republic.
@@gbtalkus that us our people problem they read to reply but not reading to understand it is very sad but what Asari is saying is right I have said it before that we should stick to 5 states of igbo buy I was insulted.
@@godwinejiofor8064 truth bro same to me i have been saying it, let us Ndi igbo go our own, this south South of a thing's are not serious, they said they rather be with the Fulani's then the Igbo's, you can't fight somebody to be with you
@@godwinejiofor8064 God bless you. We should stick to Biafra of 5 igbo states. These people dont want to be part of us and there is nothing you can do about it. They feel safer as minorities in Nigeria rather than being minorities in Biafra. I understand. Let's focus our energy on getting a homogenous igbo nation that will encompass only the 5 eastern states.
Asari Dokubo, I'm from Rivers state, but I stand with kanu, because he is speaking for the oppress people, you never helped or speak for the oppressed. But for your pocket.
Hear your stupid talks.... Some body is killings igbo people you're saying the person is fighting for oppression??? Is him fighting for the igbo people he has sent his terrorist to kills???
I love the analysis on this one, it was concise and straight to the point. However, for posterity case, Mr. Abbati has consistently decided to keep using the word "Arrested" in Kenya. Hopefully, he will have the courage to apologize to over 200 million people that have been deceived in due time. Because, it is on record that the very trait we lack as Nigerians is called "Shame"
He did not say that. He called it "rendition", and that's what it's called legally. Extraordinary rendition is same as kidnap. Abati didn't use the work "attested in kenya ". You need to listen to him again.
Mr Abbati is a stooge leave him alone, he sold his conscience and not redeemable, he is a willing tool in the hands of the fulani, he is a coward, bringing shame to his family, how would your children look at people face and say our father fight for injustice in Nigeria, why can't he be brave for once
When brothers fight to death..strangers will inherit the land. I weep for the people of south east and south south...I hope both parties will find a common ground to free their people from the oppressors.
Nnamdi is our own and Asari is our own. You all need to step back and leave Igbos and Ijaws alone!! You want us to stay here and bash Asari and/ or Nnamdi. God forbid!!! A reasonable person doesn't wash their underwear in the open!! We love both of them!!!Nnamdi and Asari!!! Nigerian press are the ones making Biafra an Igbo affair because of divide and rule. They want to isolate Igbos from other peoples of former Eastern Nigeria!!! Every reasonable person knows that Biafrans are not only Igbos!!! Phillip Effiong is not an Igboman.
God bless u my dear Angelica. BIAFRA isn't solely an Igbo affair. Som ppl just want 2seperate & alienate d Igbos frm Ijaws & oda ethnic groups in d Old EASTERN REGION. They know dat our unity will b disastrous 2dem dat's y they r fighting our unity. Evn d name BIAFRA is an Ijaw name. D original name is BIAGHA FULO meaning soup dat's always boiling, cooking, never calm. Dat side of d Atlantic Ocean usually is rough, waves so Ijaws bin d main occupants of d area called it BIAGHA FULO. Europeans couldn't pronounce BIAGHA FULO & ended up calling it BIAFRA. Wen a name was sought after 2gv d new nation, Sir Frank Opigo, an Ijaw man suggested d name 2 Sir Ojukwu & d EASTERN ASSEMBLY adopted d name. Igbos as well as Ijaws, Efik, Ibibio, Annang all planned & fought 4 BIAFRA. D records & history is there. BIAFRA is not an IGBO tin.
Have you asked about how the SS were unshagled from the former eastern region. All federal money dumbed in Enugu. But today come and see the Enugu. All federal scholarships sidelined from SS today. My mother was a great historian. This is reasons of no more games.
Who is the wife of this man tokunbo, calling another man names. Mazi Kanu is more intelligent, handsome, neat etc, please Mr who knows it all do ur own, why are you coming out now.
Asari Dokubo is right. Nnamdi Kanu's wants to create an ethno-religious homogenious Country just like Hitler, this is a precursor to ethnic cleansing. Afterall all the resources in the so called biafra are in the hands of minorities like Ijaws, Oron and not Igbos. So you want the Ijaws to go from being a minority in Nigeria to being a minority in Biafra where they will be more vulnerable to being wippedout by Igbos and their land, power abd resources taken from them?
@@wonsteinweiser2678 Then get up and fight for a country where you will be the majority, is anybody stopping ? , last time i checked, the resources you are blabbing about is not under ur control, you are good at begging for crumbs, RUBBISH!
There are no warlords in Biafra. We know that's what you guys want to hear. Asari is doing what he knows how best to do,......gas lighting people. Maybe some people are not listening very well, and or they are trying to play dumb. We Igbos have all agreed that we are better off as a homogenous Igbo nation. How others feel about us is there problem not ours. There's no point beefing us because we will go it alone. That small Biafra will be a small independent nation prosperous nation. It's not a nation that will depend on an almost dead commodity like crude oil. For those who think there's in fighting...... Sorry to disappoint you, it won't happen. By the way why do you care. We have never depended on anyone to thrive. It comes natural to us. The less baggage we carry, the better for everyone. Other's are busy hating us, while their real enemies are doing the wiping out. If you're an Ijaw man, i advise you to start thinking about how you will manage without oil in the next 10-20 years. Your creeks waterways, land are desolate. You will sooner than latter realise that oil will be useless 10 years from now. Igbos are not your problem, have never been. Your right to be 'majority' in a new Nigeria, and or your new republic is accepted by Igbo's. There are inherent huge advantages being a homogenous Igbo nation. That u can take to the bank. By the way, Igbo land have enough oil and gas to take care of Igbo land. But you will never hear our people talk about it, simply bcos we are planning for the future. We will thrive, have always thrived oil or no oil. Let Asari be ranting. He speaks more about Kanu than the plight of his people these days. That's so lame and lazy.
@@osakweog so apt brother, I too have over the years seen reasons for a homogenous Igbo nation, Biafra or whatever name we want to call it, and I think, on a personally level, Nnamdi Kanu wants this too but if he should accept an all Igbo Biafra, our brothers on other states will be left behind. I feel that he knows that many of the South South people will not join the Biafra struggle but he is simply asking for Referendum just to get our igbos gerrymandered into other states like Rivers, Edo, Delta, Benue, Kogi, Akwa Ibom etc to be part of the Homogeneous Nation
@@wonsteinweiser2678 with all due respect Sir you sound misinformed and somewhat delusional. You are delusional to compare Kanu to Hitler. Kanu says he wants to restore Biafra that existed as a sovereign state between 1967 to 1970(Nigeria's Former Eastern Region. We all know that Biafra(Eastern Region) was multi-ethnic and multi-religious country and the eastern region is still the same today. You are misinformed because you WRONGLY claim that all the resources in Biafra are in the hands of the Ijaws and Oron. You claim is false, misleading. There is an abundance of Petroleum and Oil in Imo State and Abia(both Igbo speaking states). Imo state also has the largest deposit of Natural Gas in Nigeria. Anambra State is also and igbo speaking state and has Oil and Gas in commercial quantities. Please you need to do your research.
Dokubo’s argument is banality. We have Northern and Southern Ireland, North and South Sudan, North and South America, North and South Korea etc. Nnamdi and this man are two sides of a coin!
North and South Sudan, North and southern Korea & Northern and Southern Ireland It's evident you are ignorant of the histories of these nations you have mentioned. North / South America are continents with many nations with peculiar Franco - Spanish & Portuguese history. North and South East and West are only geographic designations. The division of Sudan has come to hunt southern Sudan
What did he say that confuses you? How can any ethnic minority join a group that want to create a country based ethnic homogenity? You want Ijaws and Orons to go from being a minority in Nigeria to being a minority in Biafra where Igbos can discriminate them freely because they are not Igbos? There is nothing contradictory about Asari.
@@paulchigozie7518 I dont see what is confusing about his stance. How does he sound confused? He categorically stated that Nnamdi Kanu's "Biafra" is not for him and I can see why no reasonable person would board that ship.
Asari Dokubo that has so much sense in his head; what has he done towards actualizing Biafra. Asari is a traitor, looking for attention and some compensation as he always do.
Depending on however they express it,What everyone is asking for is to simply have Tribal and ethnic presence as an identity in this world .the English man has his ethnic identity represented as country, so as the French, German, Polish,Romania, Greek, Italian. Only in Africa does 3000 ethnic groups have no single identity represented as a country
From my understanding, the problem he has with Kanu is religion and nothing more. The said Biafra has not arrived and we are fighting ourselves already. I refused to be confused as this point Bro.
@@akalonumarcillinus3999 why do you think he is fake? Well I dont support his come but I believe Nnamdi doesnt take advise from other people I believe that is the problem.
@@godwinejiofor8064: I believe that you are missing the point. Their problem is, absolutely, has nothing to do with religion. It is a clash of interest, based on jealousy, envy and a quest for self-relevance. When MNK’s father’s Palace was invaded and he started missing, Dokubo was taunting Buhari, saying that Nnamdi Kanu had given him “one blow, seven ‘akpu s’”. Things were going well for them, and even during the first time, that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was in jail, it was revealed that Asari was given some money to train some IPOB members, which he denied, but later admitted, by saying that the money was not even enough. He was saying that others may have started the struggle, but that it was “The Great Mazi”, that catalyzed it. He stated that he would continue to follow him, until he found another person, who is doing it better. When the Mazi surfaced, in Israel and, during his speech, he said, “thanks to my brother, Asari Dokubo, you and I shall see Biafra”. Things were going well. It was after his so-called Senior Brother, Ralph Uwazurike came out, and started attacking the Mazi, that he, suddenly shifted. They are the people that first started criticizing him. You know that his followers will always attach any one that dares to attack him. All there is to it, is envy of jealousy. Again, Dokubo thought that Biafra was, already, at the corner, and then wants to secure his own position, also, as a leader. Unfortunately, this is how he chooses to pursue that. With his utterances, it is clear that he is not fighting for Biafra restoration, but to establish himself as a leader: Saying that Nnamdi Kanu is trying to annex Biafra, for the Igbos alone, is laughable. If so, why is he including all these territories, some of whom are even reluctant? Asari is a joke. If he is for Biafra, what has he done? Whose followers are being killed? Who many times has he ever called up a rallied? He, really, has no followers Is he in control of the Nigerian Deltans or the Avengers, who are busy asking for money, from the Nigerian Government? No way! He was even accused of accepting money and betraying his entire people. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is the man. Look what he has been through and, still going through and, has not relented. How many billions of Dollars and Pound Sterling has he been promised, if he would only denounce Biafra? How many of them would turn down such offers, and take all the torture? These people are a distraction to the struggle and, should go and down. Ndewo.
From my understanding, I have listened to Kanu sometimes. He need to run an inclusive agitation not just focusing on Igbo. This is a very big challenge with the minorities in the region. He also should not give any religious view or concept about it. Me as a Christian, I feel uncomfortable been called into a religion I’m not.
The anchors misunderstood what Asari said regarding the name he said “Frank Obigo sold the name to them to use as an identity “ even though the bight of Biafra is actually far away from the Igbo area they agreed to be called biafra. Look at a map biafra is the coastal area not the upland Igbo area
What I found instructive in this politics of nomenclature is that Biafra , just like Nigeria, is a colonial construct . Many decades after independence, we have not begun to name ourselves. Instead we are fighting over what colonialists created.
@@tobifighter6877 99% of African countries are colonialist constructs but Nigeria is the only one that uses it as an excuse to fight themselves instead of working together to create a better country. The thing about discrimination and hate is that there is always a reason to be hateful. Even if Biafra is created there will still be a mojority i.e Igbos who will run everything and minorities who may feel disenfranchised. Should they also fight to break away? With that mentality every man is his own country.
@@wonsteinweiser2678 nothing but wisdom my friend If u study history before colonial era there was not like igbos. the only empires was Benin ,Yoruba and others when the when the Benin empire fell the were alot of migrations from Benin e.g the urhobo and isokos have similar names and culture to benin ppl. The igbos formed due to migrations of Benin , ijaw igala and some Bantu ppl of Cameroon that's why you see some similarities between igbos Benin, ijaw and igala ppl e.g the beads that igbos use today came from Benin ppl. There was a time i saw a man speaking Igbo but to my surprise it was igala the language sound so similar and they look like igbos. My point being that in human history we have not been in one place people migrate to different places and mix with each other
Why does Arise news call Mr. Kanu a separatist while calling Mr. Igboho an activist? This is despite the fact that Mr. Igboho agitates for the same goal for the southwest Nigeria, this sounds like propaganda by Arise news.
We do not need divisions right now, we must come together and we must work together. We have only two common enemies, the Fulanis and our politicians. No Biafrans should castigate each other.
Namdi kanu is crackhead in London Fulani are your enemies that’s why you will always struggle in west Africa hating on Fulani is not in Nigerian interest
The devil you know is better than the one you don't. Good to work together but history is ....Majority should work with majority hand in hand and minority should work with minority. No games. No more.
I think this guy is executing a contract. I am not biafra in any way but if you truly believe in biafra as you claim it is time to stand with your brother now.
He is a useless man who profits from the pain and suffering of his people. He used the money he got from the nigerian government to build schools and other businesses in niger and sudan. However, his people can't find a job, their lands are polluted with oil spills. He is in there for himself and family. Of what benefit is he to his people?. I hope they wake early to see him for who he is.
Rufai ur very intelligent.... I see a great leader in u...I know some day there will be wind of change... A change that will bring fellows like u into d leadership wagon in Nigeria... And I know u will make a difference... I pray then we will have more fellows like u that have same ideology with u....Ur my hero Rufai..Any time any day..
Asari, from your mouth you have declared your heritage as Igbo, which means MNK was correct that Ijaws and Igbos are one. The only problem I think MNK has with you is your refusal to live up to the expectations of your ancestors, in other words stop sabotaging the existence and development of your people. Stop being petty, this is about Self determination and not who is superior and who is inferior.
Now I know this guy is completely mad. How can he say ijaw is the only Biafra. How come the map of Africa in the 1521 showed the entire eastern region and down to the coast are all regarded as Biafra
The entire Eastern region became known as Biafra only after Ojukwu made that declaration. The present day Eastern States ate not part of the coastal regions that made up Biafra as they do not live within or anywhere near the coast. The entire area of the gulf of Guinea which includes Nigeria, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea and Sao Tome
@@fimsampson6190 please what are you saying? Is ojukwu the father of Biafra? So are you saying if I come today and call IMO and abia a different name means that is what it is? Mind you that ojukwu did not name the eastern region Biafra but consulted all the elders of the region including the minority ethnic group, where an Ijaw man suggested that the region should go back to its original name before the white man came. So what’s this story you’re twisting
@@kingsleyopara9075 The story is that since the old Eastern region is now defunct, why do you still re-enact it without, first consulting other ethnic groups that made up the old region? The old Biafra no longer exists and so you can't create another Biafra when the other groups are opposed to it. They want to remain in 🇳🇬 not your Biafra. It's better that the name Biafra be dropped as the present 5 Eastern States can't lay claim to it.
@@fimsampson6190 The thing we fail to understand is, igbos are not forcing anyone to be Biafra and because the so called elders of today are benefiting from the new created state, they are the ones who do not want to go back to region. The simple way to solve this puzzle is a referendum; That is how you know what the people want and also when you properly sensitization them. Now you made the point that the region no longer exist after the war, was it because we lost the war or was is because we voluntarily agreed for the name to be scrapped? And who scrapped the name off? Was it not the north? And shared us into states in other to create this confusion? Where in the world do you hear the name south south? Why didn't the north name any part north north? Why is it that Nigeria has failed to even recognise that war? Just the way the Jewish holocust as well as Rwanda genocide is remembered? Because they know if this was taught properly in school, this generation of other minority tribes will spit on their fathers grave for betraying their own blood all for oil and gas. And this is still happening today, when everyone knows what is keeping the unity of Nigeria is oil and gas. Please we are educated people, let's not allow this elders that has failed to produce simple electricity for 50 years tell us Nigeria is complicated. What we need is dialogue from the young people between the age of 45 years down to 18years because most of this younger people are doing extraordinary things both abroad and home.
Asari talked about his ancestors and still said he is a Muslim and not a jew, he also said he has Igbo blood in him but he is not Igbo, some of his arguments does not make sense to me, infact many people are confused in that country
You are the one mostly confused a lot. He is Muslim ,that is his religion, He is not a jew , he is a black African man ,that is right. Some of your parents can be igbo or English,but you must be your fathers from father side tribe, So Asari is good man
Yes na. They r 2different tins, bin Igbo is different from having Igbo blood. Me too, I'm an Ijaw woman, but I hv Igbo blood running in me. Ben Murray Bruce is an Ijaw man, but he has Scottish blood running in him. Asari na mumu guy wey dey misyarn sometimes but as per dis talk of having Igbo blood in him, he's correct.

@@bafeiles "literate?!!!" I'm disappointed. You mean the Portuguese went about Africa naming places? They didn't ask "where is this?"

Some ethnicities were illiterate doesn't mean all ethnicity was. And what is literacy? Your oyibo literate women didn't know how to raise children so they needed Africans to teach them some things. "Literacy" can be subjective too.... The Japanese regarded Europeans as savages for 300 years, does it mean they were literate?

Stop being stupid, biafra is not NNAMDI Kalu's glory. I am an igbo man and we are not NNAMDI glory. Have you looked at the Nigerian map? Does your empty brain think igbos alone can form a country? Mtcheeeew
The name was adopted because it was an ancient Africa name, the same thing happened with Ghana, the original name was Gold Coast before they adopted Ghana which was an ancient empire in West Africa, so my point is the Biafra name does not have to come from the exact location we are before we can adopt the name
@@wonsteinweiser2678 what does it mean in portugese then dumbo? ...it was our people who told the Portuguese who we are for them to then write it on the map
The fact is that Asari Dokubo is being used by the Fulanis to frustrate the coming of Biafra and it's easy to use him bcos of his religious background. Unfortunately for him it is late.
If ASARi Dokubo come to be the president of Nigeria everybody else we be happy in Nigeria electricity we come immediately is a good man for ñigeria president God bless ñigeria amen
In as much as I disagree with Asari Dokubo in some issues, but in this context of monopolizing Biafra for South East Chukwuokike Abiama ,he's making sense. Therefore by humble opinion is that for Biafra to succeed, we must separate religion from statehood.
Kanu is not stupid, he is intelligent. He comes across as power-hungry and a man with a god complex in that he seems to encourage his followers to worship him. That type of personality will be a dictator once they attain power.
Thanks guys for referring us back to the history of how Biafra came to be . And it’s important because a lot of this people claiming to be from Biafra, don’t have a clue about the history of this so called Biafra, a lot of them assumed it comes from the civil war . Hopefully they will listen and learn.
@Korean Civilization. . Rather than put forward your argument, you decided to put forward your half baked argument and end it by insulting people who are only doing there job.

@@victoredwards3959 Your ambivalence reeks of hypocrisy to the highest levels. You accuse Igbos of wanting to achieve Biafra through in your own words 'through dictatorship and silencing legitimate view'. While Igbos have told you repeatedly without it getting into the inner sanctum of your cerebrum that a referendum which is a democratic process will determine things. In another breath you forcefully want Igbos to remain in your eternally damned 'one Nigeria'. What does that make you ? A democrat or a tyrant ? I believe it's the latter (a tyrant) and an unconscionable one for that matter. Practice what you preach.
Yes you are getting Biafra while seating in your comfort zone in Ijaw land. What are you doing Asari Dokubo to get Biafra ? Is it by mouth or by attacking Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB.
Asari Dokubo only stood for the perceived injustice to the ijaws & his agitation for the betterment of the the zone ended when they were settled with fat Ghana Must Go bags full of money. Then came Tompolo & the likes who always fall for perks. Nnamdi kanu is focused & reliable, he has not lost touch with his conscience like others in the zone.
We are all Biafrans, Asari Dokubo you are saying the same thing, you are free to worship in your own religion, WE ARE ALL BIAFRANS, MOBOLIZE YOUR PEOPLE AND LETS SEEK FOR REFERRADUM FIRST, BEFORE ANYTHING

Because he isn’t saying what you want to learn
Respect to Arise News for not just the quality of their segments but also their allowing comments from viewers.
What sort of quality in misinformation?
One thing is clear here Asari is only being jealous of Mazi Nnamdi Kalu’s popularity both locally and international.
Jealous? Why?
How
lol 😂 you are a clown
Jealous?? For what?? Sounds funny oo
He is not jealous of nnamdi kanu. He is worried about igbos trickery way and behavior. This is the main reason why we can never be together with the igbos
@arise: I believe Asari alluded the fact that the name "Biafra" had been there since 1700s. One point he made which I believe you misconstrued in the studio is that the name given to the proposed new republic was suggested by an Ijaw man. This much, Nnamdi Kanu acknowledged in one of his broadcasts
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Many broadcasts actually
You are right sir. That is how I understood it. Asari did not say that the name Biafra originated from an Ijaw man.
He was saying that the idea to adopt the name Biafra for that particular geographical location came from an Ijaw man.

My dear MNK is far above you in history, you talking another thing, while dictionary is far from your history.
I speak Portuguese very well but there's nothing like Biafra in Portuguese word but in Igbo there's (come and see) unlike Nigeria which has meaning in Portuguese ( Nigro.. Black, eria.. Locality or Location or Area, "Nigeria" black Area or location of black people).Simply Biafra was given by Portuguese but its an Igbo word.It was gotten from Igbos who called their brothers to come and see the Portuguese ( Bia furu ndi ocha potogiri) then the Portuguese started calling that Area (present day Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea and Old Eastern Nigeria) the name... Bight of Biafra in the 16th to 18th Century. Just as Hausa called Igbo nyamiri ( nyem mmiri... Give me water) this was also as a result of Igbos who were trecking from East to North,when they got thirsty ,they entered Hausa house and asked for water ( nyem mmiri.. Give me water)Then the hausas started calling Igbo "Nyemiri". But during the war Ojukwu called all the Biafrans elites and asked suitable name,then an Ijaw man suggested the name Biafra since it was already placed on the map.
I love your explanation bro but can you give me a reference??
I will be glad to read about it

BEST EXPLANATION BRO 👌
Oh my
One thing I understand about igbos is that they lack truth they talk or do anything the it will sult them. Where by making the truth to look like a lie why making the lie to be truth. Tell me where and how Biafra means (bia furu) in igbo land? Igbos are full of trickery. God forbid
Mr. Asari, as much as I respect you and what you stand for as man and human,
The words you said that Kanu want an Igbo Biafra, you are being biased and prejudice I know for sure you say things like that to air your personal disdain for MNK. But certainly you know you are not telling the truth. MNK must have used a method that seems awkward for many people but the truth is that he's a sincere person who wants good of all. If Kanu want only Igbo Biafra he could have gotten it before now, because the Fulani are willing to let him have it. Now come to the issue of him giving BIAFRA as a Jewish state that is not truth, the issue is that his religion is Jewish, just like you are a Muslim, he only Expresses himself Based on his personal religion. I have never heard him try to suspend others from their right of worship.If you are truly willing to do Biafra I also think that your own method is not working too because you are being unstable.

However, the point Asari was trying to make is that the name for the new republic declared by Ojukwu was suggested by an Ijaw man Frank Opigo, and that that republic was not an Igbo -only Igbo republic.

God bless u my dear Angelica. BIAFRA isn't solely an Igbo affair. Som ppl just want 2seperate & alienate d Igbos frm Ijaws & oda ethnic groups in d Old EASTERN REGION.
They know dat our unity will b disastrous 2dem dat's y they r fighting our unity.
Evn d name BIAFRA is an Ijaw name. D original name is BIAGHA FULO meaning soup dat's always boiling, cooking, never calm. Dat side of d Atlantic Ocean usually is rough, waves so Ijaws bin d main occupants of d area called it BIAGHA FULO. Europeans couldn't pronounce BIAGHA FULO & ended up calling it BIAFRA. Wen a name was sought after 2gv d new nation, Sir Frank Opigo, an Ijaw man suggested d name 2 Sir Ojukwu & d EASTERN ASSEMBLY adopted d name. Igbos as well as Ijaws, Efik, Ibibio, Annang all planned & fought 4 BIAFRA. D records & history is there. BIAFRA is not an IGBO tin.
Have you asked about how the SS were unshagled from the former eastern region. All federal money dumbed in Enugu. But today come and see the Enugu. All federal scholarships sidelined from SS today. My mother was a great historian. This is reasons of no more games.

Biafra hasn’t started but warlords are already taking territorial positions.
Asari Dokubo is right. Nnamdi Kanu's wants to create an ethno-religious homogenious Country just like Hitler, this is a precursor to ethnic cleansing. Afterall all the resources in the so called biafra are in the hands of minorities like Ijaws, Oron and not Igbos. So you want the Ijaws to go from being a minority in Nigeria to being a minority in Biafra where they will be more vulnerable to being wippedout by Igbos and their land, power abd resources taken from them?
@@wonsteinweiser2678 Then get up and fight for a country where you will be the majority, is anybody stopping ? , last time i checked, the resources you are blabbing about is not under ur control, you are good at begging for crumbs, RUBBISH!
There are no warlords in Biafra. We know that's what you guys want to hear. Asari is doing what he knows how best to do,......gas lighting people.
Maybe some people are not listening very well, and or they are trying to play dumb. We Igbos have all agreed that we are better off as a homogenous Igbo nation. How others feel about us is there problem not ours. There's no point beefing us because we will go it alone. That small Biafra will be a small independent nation prosperous nation. It's not a nation that will depend on an almost dead commodity like crude oil. For those who think there's in fighting...... Sorry to disappoint you, it won't happen. By the way why do you care. We have never depended on anyone to thrive. It comes natural to us. The less baggage we carry, the better for everyone. Other's are busy hating us, while their real enemies are doing the wiping out. If you're an Ijaw man, i advise you to start thinking about how you will manage without oil in the next 10-20 years. Your creeks waterways, land are desolate. You will sooner than latter realise that oil will be useless 10 years from now. Igbos are not your problem, have never been. Your right to be 'majority' in a new Nigeria, and or your new republic is accepted by Igbo's. There are inherent huge advantages being a homogenous Igbo nation. That u can take to the bank. By the way, Igbo land have enough oil and gas to take care of Igbo land. But you will never hear our people talk about it, simply bcos we are planning for the future. We will thrive, have always thrived oil or no oil.
Let Asari be ranting. He speaks more about Kanu than the plight of his people these days. That's so lame and lazy.
@@osakweog so apt brother, I too have over the years seen reasons for a homogenous Igbo nation, Biafra or whatever name we want to call it, and I think, on a personally level, Nnamdi Kanu wants this too but if he should accept an all Igbo Biafra, our brothers on other states will be left behind.
I feel that he knows that many of the South South people will not join the Biafra struggle but he is simply asking for Referendum just to get our igbos gerrymandered into other states like Rivers, Edo, Delta, Benue, Kogi, Akwa Ibom etc to be part of the Homogeneous Nation
@@wonsteinweiser2678 with all due respect Sir you sound misinformed and somewhat delusional. You are delusional to compare Kanu to Hitler. Kanu says he wants to restore Biafra that existed as a sovereign state between 1967 to 1970(Nigeria's Former Eastern Region. We all know that Biafra(Eastern Region) was multi-ethnic and multi-religious country and the eastern region is still the same today.
You are misinformed because you WRONGLY claim that all the resources in Biafra are in the hands of the Ijaws and Oron. You claim is false, misleading. There is an abundance of Petroleum and Oil in Imo State and Abia(both Igbo speaking states). Imo state also has the largest deposit of Natural Gas in Nigeria. Anambra State is also and igbo speaking state and has Oil and Gas in commercial quantities. Please you need to do your research.
Give them their Biafra Repubic, Let us take our Niger Delta Republic.
Dokubo’s argument is banality. We have Northern and Southern Ireland, North and South Sudan, North and South America, North and South Korea etc. Nnamdi and this man are two sides of a coin!
Maybe they are still going to be North & South Biafra Lolz...
North and South Sudan, North and southern Korea & Northern and Southern Ireland

What did he say that confuses you? How can any ethnic minority join a group that want to create a country based ethnic homogenity? You want Ijaws and Orons to go from being a minority in Nigeria to being a minority in Biafra where Igbos can discriminate them freely because they are not Igbos?

@@godwinejiofor8064: I believe that you are missing the point. Their problem is, absolutely, has nothing to do with religion. It is a clash of interest, based on jealousy, envy and a quest for self-relevance. When MNK’s father’s Palace was invaded and he started missing, Dokubo was taunting Buhari, saying that Nnamdi Kanu had given him “one blow, seven ‘akpu s’”. Things were going well for them, and even during the first time, that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was in jail, it was revealed that Asari was given some money to train some IPOB members, which he denied, but later admitted, by saying that the money was not even enough. He was saying that others may have started the struggle, but that it was “The Great Mazi”, that catalyzed it. He stated that he would continue to follow him, until he found another person, who is doing it better. When the Mazi surfaced, in Israel and, during his speech, he said, “thanks to my brother, Asari Dokubo, you and I shall see Biafra”. Things were going well. It was after his so-called Senior Brother, Ralph Uwazurike came out, and started attacking the Mazi, that he, suddenly shifted. They are the people that first started criticizing him. You know that his followers will always attach any one that dares to attack him. All there is to it, is envy of jealousy. Again, Dokubo thought that Biafra was, already, at the corner, and then wants to secure his own position, also, as a leader. Unfortunately, this is how he chooses to pursue that. With his utterances, it is clear that he is not fighting for Biafra restoration, but to establish himself as a leader: Saying that Nnamdi Kanu is trying to annex Biafra, for the Igbos alone, is laughable. If so, why is he including all these territories, some of whom are even reluctant? Asari is a joke. If he is for Biafra, what has he done? Whose followers are being killed? Who many times has he ever called up a rallied? He, really, has no followers Is he in control of the Nigerian Deltans or the Avengers, who are busy asking for money, from the Nigerian Government? No way! He was even accused of accepting money and betraying his entire people. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is the man. Look what he has been through and, still going through and, has not relented. How many billions of Dollars and Pound Sterling has he been promised, if he would only denounce Biafra? How many of them would turn down such offers, and take all the torture? These people are a distraction to the struggle and, should go and down.
Ndewo.
From my understanding, I have listened to Kanu sometimes. He need to run an inclusive agitation not just focusing on Igbo. This is a very big challenge with the minorities in the region. He also should not give any religious view or concept about it. Me as a Christian, I feel uncomfortable been called into a religion I’m not.
The anchors misunderstood what Asari said regarding the name he said “Frank Obigo sold the name to them to use as an identity “ even though the bight of Biafra is actually far away from the Igbo area they agreed to be called biafra. Look at a map biafra is the coastal area not the upland Igbo area
History should be taught in Nigerian schools, it’s quite appalling that our youths don’t know a lot of things about the Nigerian History

@@tobifighter6877 99% of African countries are colonialist constructs but Nigeria is the only one that uses it as an excuse to fight themselves instead of working together to create a better country.

With that mentality every man is his own country.
@@wonsteinweiser2678 nothing but wisdom my friend If u study history before colonial era there was not like igbos. the only empires was Benin ,Yoruba and others when the when the Benin empire fell the were alot of migrations from Benin e.g the urhobo and isokos have similar names and culture to benin ppl. The igbos formed due to migrations of Benin , ijaw igala and some Bantu ppl of Cameroon that's why you see some similarities between igbos Benin, ijaw and igala ppl e.g the beads that igbos use today came from Benin ppl.

Now I know this guy is completely mad. How can he say ijaw is the only Biafra. How come the map of Africa in the 1521 showed the entire eastern region and down to the coast are all regarded as Biafra
The entire Eastern region became known as Biafra only after Ojukwu made that declaration.

Now you made the point that the region no longer exist after the war, was it because we lost the war or was is because we voluntarily agreed for the name to be scrapped? And who scrapped the name off? Was it not the north? And shared us into states in other to create this confusion? Where in the world do you hear the name south south? Why didn't the north name any part north north? Why is it that Nigeria has failed to even recognise that war? Just the way the Jewish holocust as well as Rwanda genocide is remembered? Because they know if this was taught properly in school, this generation of other minority tribes will spit on their fathers grave for betraying their own blood all for oil and gas. And this is still happening today, when everyone knows what is keeping the unity of Nigeria is oil and gas. Please we are educated people, let's not allow this elders that has failed to produce simple electricity for 50 years tell us Nigeria is complicated.

If we are divide because of earthly thing's than we are fouling our self.If u don't forgive Don't expect to be forgiven Asari is a Muslim in the of the mix of Israel so we are not surprised Urhobo Ishekiri Isoko waadooo All Hail Biafra
The Arab's are converting at this end time to Christ Jesus around the world
Our prayers may Almighty convert Asari in Jesus name Amen Love your brother like your self
Specify which south. Not fair to generalize. After all careless about your majority status where you survive through minority. Very wrong.
Incredible!!! Imagine this guys rhetoric he can’t even give a clear stance on the situation destroying this country. God help us indeed.
No be Arise news dey give am airtime and to whose benefit? Seriously it’s not needed at all.
The day biafra will be declared that same day there will be civil war if Igbo try to put the formal Eastern region together as a Republic, try to know this, because of WAZOBIA the distrust among the people is very high. The 3 majority have destroyed Nigeria.

“Even though I have Igbo blood flowing in my vein I am not an Igbo man today… your great ancestor was originally an Igbo man”, the story is not really clear to me
Not clear to me too.🤷
Dokubo is drunk...Biafra was named by the Portuguese in 1710 sir, after a town in Portugal 🇵🇹
Just like Lagos was named after a town in Portugal !
It's not Portuguese. Although it can be seen in Portuguese 1600s maps first but it's a West/Central African location. There's nowhere in Portugal called Biafra
@@Reyex7 So if it was not the Portuguese, who ? The locals who were not literate? Let us not run away from the facts of history. It's not an ethnic issue please.
@@bafeiles "literate?!!!" I'm disappointed. You mean the Portuguese went about Africa naming places? They didn't ask "where is this?" They weren't literate in Western writing doesn't mean they didn't have their own ways of communication, writing and reading. Do your research bro. Some ethnicities were illiterate doesn't mean all ethnicity was. And what is literacy? Your oyibo literate women didn't know how to raise children so they needed Africans to teach them some things. "Literacy" can be subjective too.... The Japanese regarded Europeans as savages for 300 years, does it mean they were literate?
He is a confused human being
You will be disappointed at the end of the tunnel , Asari MNK is the light 💡 while Asari is the darkness. Case closed!!! Biafrans choose light 💡
I love the fact that news arise TV Oseni El rufai says things as it is without fear, I know for sure that your truthfulness will continue to fight for you and save you from those wicked APC Politicians. Cudose for u and your co- leagues
Even though I have igbo blood flowing in me, I'm not an igbo today.
Asari Dokubo.
Will don't need u.fools
I thought am the only one that get that part
This man Asari can't be trusted! He says something today the next day he says the opposite.
God WI Punish Asari, criminal insulting Kano. He's a snitch..

The differences are not important but the goal is. Until we realise this, we will continue to kill ourselves for the enemy. I myself would love any option, whether the perfect Nigeria or Biafra as long as it exists as a real nation.
Who is the enemy?? I beg.
A school dropout calling a uk trained historian brain less. Wonders shall never end.
School does not always equates sense... Nnamdi has legitimate claims but actually lack the brains to execute......
@@ejeefe4816 which one is with the brain. The one who is Collecting bribe from the federal government like the man talking and becoming a pipe line guard for the Fulani oil wells at the back of his father’s house. Is that scenes. A man is the one who is ready to die for what he believe in. A. man is not one who is selfish. The man who is talking said ijaW is not Biafra before, now ijaW is Biafra. Does that show ntelligence. He will change his stand at any little confrontation. You may not like Nnamdi Kanu s approach but difficult situations like the one Nigerian government has subjected his citizens requires Nnamdi Kanu s approach that is why your government broke all the laws they can break including their own laws to get him. But don’t be in a hurry to conclude because the end is yet to come.
@@chiomaekeagwu9352 see......take the ethnic map of Nigeria so u see the mappings of the tribes in the south,east and west.... Biafra is a small part in it, so is Niger Delta and other regions. So why do u feel Biafra needs special freedom to form a country and the others do not? My grandfathers compound was bombed in the south during the Biafra war... Sapele is not part of Biafra but we all suffered same faith. So you Biafrians better come back and seek partners and respect others b4 putting all of us in the line of fire. Also u cannot fight government from outside.... U have to be inside to destroy it... Nnamdi Kanu should know that if he has sense.
' historian' lol
I'm telling you na this one off me bro, someone who can even explain something very well
Asari I like your opinion about bight of Biafra. Thank you Reuben Abati
Some media houses should respect public space. Channel tv cannot bring this man into our space.
They should only bring us what you want us to see, right?
This man is talking like a baby...
Are you sure that you are a leader?
Go through your archives, Asare is just a political maradonna. He is simply trying take over the glory that belongs to MNK.
Stop being stupid, biafra is not NNAMDI Kalu's glory. I am an igbo man and we are not NNAMDI glory.
Have you looked at the Nigerian map? Does your empty brain think igbos alone can form a country? Mtcheeeew
Sadly he's right with the territory map of the bight of Biafra
The name was adopted because it was an ancient Africa name, the same thing happened with Ghana, the original name was Gold Coast before they adopted Ghana which was an ancient empire in West Africa, so my point is the Biafra name does not have to come from the exact location we are before we can adopt the name
@@bendavidson3295 It is not an ancient African name.
@@bafeiles what was it then?
@@bendavidson3295 Its Portuguese
@@wonsteinweiser2678 what does it mean in portugese then dumbo? ...it was our people who told the Portuguese who we are for them to then write it on the map
The fact is that Asari Dokubo is being used by the Fulanis to frustrate the coming of Biafra and it's easy to use him bcos of his religious background. Unfortunately for him it is late.
Exactly....you have a point. Because of his religion
Asari we hope you are no working for the enemies of the people's to sink the future of the entire southern part of Nigeria.
Abeg hold your side for biafra no join us for SW
If ASARi Dokubo come to be the president of Nigeria everybody else we be happy in Nigeria electricity we come immediately is a good man for ñigeria president God bless ñigeria amen
chief with due respect, chukwuokikeabiama simply means the God almighty whom you and i serve. thank you sir.
Chukwu abiama means the God of Abraham
Asari is claiming not to know that,just watch his mouth
Old age is taking Asari Dokubo to madness 🙆🙆🙆he cannot longer reason very well any more sorry for him.
Try to listin to a spice very asari dokubo this is saying the truht
In as much as I disagree with Asari Dokubo in some issues, but in this context of monopolizing Biafra for South East Chukwuokike Abiama ,he's making sense.
Therefore by humble opinion is that for Biafra to succeed, we must separate religion from statehood.
Kanu is not stupid, he is intelligent. He comes across as power-hungry and a man with a god complex in that he seems to encourage his followers to worship him. That type of personality will be a dictator once they attain power.
What do you mean
Asari Mujahideed is my and will still ever remain my mentor and my man,hate him or love him. I am unapologetically igbo man
Asari Dokubo the pipeline security man self dey talk. This is where Nigeria is.
Jealousy is this Man's problem, he can never match with Nnamdi Kanu, not even in his dreams,
Any nonsense you wrt prepare for your afterlife
I can see asari dokubo’s hand in d abduction of MNK ...now his claim to be a Biafran is sabotage
This man is a very comfused man
Igbo are the one confused. It is not by force to be Igbo or Biafire
Quite unfortunate that the name Biafra was proposed by an Ijaw (Chief Francis Opigo) of the then Eastern Region and not an Igbo and adopted by Ojukwu.
BIAFRA originates frm BIA GHA FULO. Europeans mispronounced it, calling it BIAFRA.
Lol Biafra has been there since the 17th century Opigo only suggested it
AND ASARI DOKUBO IS A HISTORICAL AND MATHEMATICAL GENIUS AS ALL NIGERIANS KNOW, LOL!
Point less and baseless argument!! Since then what have you done to establish your Biafra.
We are seriously praying for Asari Dokubo. Very soon God will show him that he is just a creature & not creator.
Check the history of the benin kingdom, and Igbo the ijaw
And what do you mean by that
🤣🤣🤣👍
This mad man is one ☝🏾 person in the whole of IJAW LAND…. REFERENDUM will settle all this confusion…. REFERENDUM = One ☝🏾 man one ☝🏾 vote 🗳
Who else feels this is a distraction?
Me I feel this is a distraction
The Most High is already fighting this man.
Igbo man came from Obowu and gave birth to me but am not Igbo .CONFUSED ASARI DOKUBO
That Chukwuka Obioma line is really funny 😂😂😂😂
I don’t know Chukwuka Obioma 😆😂🤣
Nnamdi Kanu the name that shakes the whole Nigeria
Asari is confused
Thanks guys for referring us back to the history of how Biafra came to be . And it’s important because a lot of this people claiming to be from Biafra, don’t have a clue about the history of this so called Biafra, a lot of them assumed it comes from the civil war . Hopefully they will listen and learn.
Exactly
@Korean Civilization. . Rather than put forward your argument, you decided to put forward your half baked argument and end it by insulting people who are only doing there job. Clearly this how some of you guys think , and how you would like to run your so called Biafra, through dictatorship and silencing legitimate view. Good luck , we all know, how that will end.
@@victoredwards3959 go back to school 🎒. Because you are illiterate. You believe every lie you hear.
@@oformaejike5988 . Ok , clearly your emotion is getting the best of you. But let me quickly bust your bubble. Nigeria is not going to break up , you will get your Biafra, as region , not a country, yes their will be a rewrite of the 1999 constitution, it will give every region in Nigeria more autonomy over their own resources, and the management of it, also semi self government. Their will be no civil war , because Biafra can’t win the war. So if you want insult me till day break, please carry on , but this your reality, mark my words. Nigeria is not going to break up.
@@victoredwards3959 Your ambivalence reeks of hypocrisy to the highest levels. You accuse Igbos of wanting to achieve Biafra through in your own words 'through dictatorship and silencing legitimate view'. While Igbos have told you repeatedly without it getting into the inner sanctum of your cerebrum that a referendum which is a democratic process will determine things. In another breath you forcefully want Igbos to remain in your eternally damned 'one Nigeria'. What does that make you ? A democrat or a tyrant ? I believe it's the latter (a tyrant) and an unconscionable one for that matter. Practice what you preach.
Yes you are getting Biafra while seating in your comfort zone in Ijaw land. What are you doing Asari Dokubo to get Biafra ? Is it by mouth or by attacking Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB.
Asari Dokubo only stood for the perceived injustice to the ijaws & his agitation for the betterment of the the zone ended when they were settled with fat Ghana Must Go bags full of money. Then came Tompolo & the likes who always fall for perks. Nnamdi kanu is focused & reliable, he has not lost touch with his conscience like others in the zone.
Not the Ijaw people, he is a hungry man that thinks only of his belle. A little assess to money, he will sell out
Indeed you have proven that you are not fighting for anything.
This Man is confused I see why he is a Muslim.
I was like'no wonder'
Asari you have your people and you will continue
This man is 💯% correct he hit the nail on the head, i like his view when it comes to religion.
Ansari you are always a big full
What are they effort have you made since you said that Biafra is ijo
Nnamdi kanu said that he is not leaving any body behind.chukwuokike abiama is Igbo name for God
Please be steady am tired of your talk I use to respect you but now you lost it
Arise is doing the job.
Asari the living legends
We are all Biafrans, Asari Dokubo you are saying the same thing, you are free to worship in your own religion, WE ARE ALL BIAFRANS, MOBOLIZE YOUR PEOPLE AND LETS SEEK FOR REFERRADUM FIRST, BEFORE ANYTHING
But you were with him in 2017 fighting together for the actualization of Biafra. What were you fighting for then? What's your romance with Uche Mefor and what Biafran region are you both fighting for now? Ijaw Biafra? Confused man.
I love arise tv♥️
