@therealchinwe Your fellow ibo people are rejecting themselves because they are not from the same state. But you're crying about Yoruba rejecting ibo in Yoruba land politics.

Because you lot chase clout without seeking context, let me educate you:
What happened after genocide or civil war matters almost as much as the violence itself. Countries do not just rebuild roads and institutions; they rebuild reality. They decide whose pain becomes national memory, whose grief is archived, whose dead are named, and whose suffering is treated as an inconvenience to national unity.
In Rwanda after the genocide, the state understood that if memory was left unmanaged, the country could remain permanently combustible. So beyond prosecutions, there was a deliberate architecture of reconciliation:
gacaca courts, memorialisation,
public confession, community confrontation, state-sponsored remembrance, and an official narrative framework about the genocide. One can critique aspects of it, including political control over memory but the key point is this: the trauma was acknowledged as real, collective, and nation-defining. The state did not pretend nothing happened.
Similarly, in South Africa after apartheid, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission functioned symbolically as a national ritual of witnessing. People testified publicly. Perpetrators confessed. Victims were heard. The country staged pain in front of itself. Again, imperfect, deeply imperfect , many Black South Africans would argue economic apartheid survived political apartheid but psychologically, the state admitted there had been moral injury.
Now compare that with Nigerian Civil War.
Nigeria’s post-war doctrine was “No Victor, No Vanquished,” but structurally the country behaved as though there had in fact been victors and vanquished. There was no comprehensive truth commission. No national mourning architecture. No deep public reckoning with starvation as a weapon. No collective witnessing process. No large-scale reparative framework. No emotional reintegration project.
Instead, there was silence layered over unresolved memory.
silence is not neutral. Silence is a technology too. When states suppress grief, trauma mutates and distributes itself across generations like code just like it happened with the agitators. Children inherit vigilance without context. Communities inherit humiliation as atmosphere. Economic exclusion becomes interpreted through historical memory. Every appointment, infrastructure gap, military operation, or political slight becomes attached to an older wound that was never metabolised.
The lingering Biafran trauma is therefore not simply because war happened. Many countries survive wars. It lingers because the suffering was insufficiently acknowledged,
memory was politically suppressed,
reintegration was uneven, and many Igbo people experienced post-war Nigeria not as reconciliation but as conditional inclusion.
The abandoned property policies, the 20-pound compensation policy regardless of prewar bank holdings, underrepresentation anxieties, and recurring suspicion toward Igbo political aspirations all became part of a wider emotional archive. Whether every perception is empirically correct becomes secondary; politically and psychologically, communities respond to lived historical memory, not only statistics. A lot of textbooks have said that the Nigerian state attempted to preserve territorial unity without fully repairing relational humanity. The machine of the nation continued operating, but the emotional operating system remained corrupted.
And when trauma is not ritualised publicly, it becomes mythologised privately. That is why Biafra persists not merely as history, but as: inherited memory, political symbolism, cultural identity, digital resistance, mourning,
and for some, an alternative imagination of dignity.
In this sense, “Biafra” survived militarily defeat because unresolved trauma can outlive armies.

Nothing wrong with an Igbo man becoming President of Nigeria. I have zero issues with them as a people.
But Peter Obi? I have everything against him. After everything I’ve seen and know, I can’t support him and won’t change my mind. We can do better.
Peter Obi intelligence is below par to be considered to lead in the capacity of the Presidency after he failed woefully in the state level.

Cheating is actually too far. Women, and I mean ALL WOMEN have a way of finding out if their Man is a spineless coward or not. She'll intentionally disobey you once to see your reaction or do something so significant to piss you off just to see if you've what it takes to put her in order. Sometimes, it doesn't mean she's a bad person, is just an inbuilt software. And if you fail, most of time, you'll see premium shege that you haven't seen before.
Others will just leave and go for another Man with authority.
