It is a Nation. The word Biafra is coind from two IGBO WORDS 'bia' which means COME and 'fara' which means LIVE. The people are part of the AFAR ethnic group in the horn of Africa, although CHRISTIANS. They are also from NRI KINGDOM and part of the LOST TRIBE OF ISRAEL.They were amalgameted to be part of Nigeria in 1914 by the British government led by Frederick Lugard. The people of Biafra do not see themselves as NIGERIANS.

Definition
Used to be a country for eastern people of Nigeria from 1976 to 1970.
Then the eastern people of Nigerians were called Biafrans when they rebelled against Nigeria and form their own soverignty.
Biafrans are people of the eastern part of Nigeria mostly Igbos.
Background
In 1967, Igbos and other eastern part of Nigeria, lead by then Col. Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu declared eastern Nigeria a Sovereign state of Biafra. This led to the three years Nigerian-Biafran Civil war in which millions were slaughter in a fight for self-determination. The Nigeria underestimated the young country and thought that the war would last for three weeks. Instead, weeks turned months and months turned years. It took Nigeria three years to defeat Biafra. Biafrans were reintegrated into Nigeria again as One-Nigeria
Most of Nigerian oil reserves are located at the Bright of Biafra. That is why Nigeria went to war with Biafra.

Ojukwu still believe that he is a Biafran.
There are a lot of Igbos that still consider themesleves as Biafrans
Nigeria kicked Biafra ass during the civil war

The nation that would have been the star of Africa if not for the evil British. The nation of one of the brightest and most enterprising people on Earth, the Igbos.
Unlike the Igbos, the Yorubas are often content to be the bitches of Hausa-Fulani.
One day Biafra we will be reborn and leave Nigeria's sorry ass.

"Jello Biafra ripped Tipper Gore a new asshole on Oprah."

The lead singer of the bay area punk band, The Dead Kennedys, who's material included some of the most groundbreaking and intelligent music I have ever heard. This is because of Jello Biafra. That man is politically and intellectually informed. And funny while at it. Although the Dead Kennedys were during the Reagan era, his views still speak strong today, and today he works actively for change. Go research the guy, he OWNS YOU.

lead singer of the dead kennedys from their formation in 1978 to their break up in 1986. he wrote a great deal of the lyrics, and is quite possibly the most influential front man in punk history. jello was politically active in the san francisco area for several years, and almost won the election for mayor. currently, jello sits as the president of his record label 'alternative tentacles' and travels around the country on spoken word tours that attack ultra-conservative politicians, free speech bashers, and terminal preppies. this guy is the shit!
jello biafra got his name by combining the completely malnutritious sugary food (jello) with one of the world's most impoverished and hungry nations (biafra).
