Losing ikwerre land was the greatest lost of Igbos in course of the war not just the war. It still pains them to date.

Whalis:

They had cornered it before the war. See ikwerre land was already occupied before the war. All they needed then to own any land they desired in Ikwerre land was to travel to Enugu. A document would be issued to that effect Viola! The land belongs to the Igbo person and it didn't matter if crops were on the land. The Igbo person would just walk up to you and serve you papers to quit.

It was never their property to begin with. Same way the Nazis were pained after losing Paris lol.

Those who kill by the sword die by the sword ⚔️.

A lot of blood shed by the military... You see some of them in their old age suffering terrible conditions because the government they fought for never truly cared about them.

This is how Tinubu wants to do his restructuring. By sponsoring his e-rats to be selling false narrative ahead of his forcefully annexure of Igboland and it's resources.
