BIAFRA IS NOT A DREAM!!! Asari Dokubo adds another etymological direction to Biafra - "It is a Kalabari word"

BIAFRA IS NOT A DREAM!!! Asari Dokubo  adds another etymological direction to Biafra - "It is a Kalabari word"
Ijaw freedom fighter Asari Uzodinmma Dokubo yesterday affirmed his strong believe in Biafra, while opining that the name Biafra originated from an indigenous Kalabari word. Dokubo used his Facebook wall reaffirm his support for the restoration of Biafra. 

Dokubo asserted that the word Biafra, is corrupt version of BIAFULO, which Kalabari people named the estuary of Santa Barbara River, from where the Portuguese corrupted the name. According to him, this justifies the ned for Ijaws as well as Binis to join the Biafran restoration project.
