Biafra doesn't exist

As I said earlier Biafra doesn't exist, it was the name of the breakaway state that existed in the Niger Delta which is the real and official name of the region and is used by Nigerian governments well as internationally. The only ones I've seen calling it Biafra is the Niger Delta separatists. Besides what do you mean there are many ethnicities beyond the main ones? I didn't move it because of any ethnicities.

@Newsboy39:That's what the call is for (otherwise its statist POV). But yes, reading it, youre right (for now). Feel free to move it.Lihaas (talk) 15:50, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

can an admin move this page per above so the history moves too? not controversial move as well agreedLihaas (talk) 17:41, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Never perform copy-and-paste moves - they destroy the page history. I have put a CSD notice on it, and an admin will merge the histories soon.--Laun chba ller 19:01, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Crocodile Smile

It seems this the name of the ongoing counter-operation (counter-insurgency, anyway). Not much coverage of this. Bokoharamwatch (talk) 16:12, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
