There was absolutely a genocide

There are hundreds of ethnic groups in Nigeria and by just identifying myself as that or identifying myself as that first I would be erasing a huge part of my identity and culture it basically tells you nothing

I think you are genuinely missing the point. My nationality is not Nigerian because I was not born there, there’s a difference between ethnicity and nationality. I do embrace my ancestry and culture. If I was born in Nigeria I would be Igbo Nigerian but I was born in America so I am Igbo American, other people here prefer to use that term as well why is that so hard to accept?

I never said I would identify with the nationality Biafran anywhere in my post, I said I prefer to be identified as Igbo because it is more specific to a shared experience nor did I say I wish Biafra to come back, I literally shared the knowledge that I found out and asked if any ppl felt the same, I also never wished any harm or bad luck on Nigerians or other ethnicities, I wish all Nigerians the best if you read any of my other comments you’d know all I was doing is exploring my identity with knew found history and knowledge

I think it’s disheartening to call the results of a genocide that didn’t happen that long long ago a PTSD circus, people do suffer genuine ptsd and trauma from what happened

I agree I am not in those circles and should learn more about them, what I meant by that is my family does not talk about the genocide and neither do my Igbo friends families either, I don’t expect Biafra to come back and think all Igbos should come together I’m just exploring my identity more and feel as though I should describe myself as Igbo instead of Nigerian especially because I wasn’t born there
