11) I am pro-Igbo; but, I am NOT pro-Biafra.
Meaning: He is a reprobate Igbo, a coward, an excellent candidate for future anti-Biafra treachery; he considers himself defeated by the Hausa-Fulani and Yoruba; he is scared, afraid that they will practice genocide on him/us, again, and if the Hausa-Fulani/Yoruba want to hear him say that he is "pro-Igbo, but, anti-Biafra," then, that is exactly what he will say; he will appease Hausa-Fulani/Yoruba.

When he says: I was excited to see our people doing very well last time I was in BiafraNigeria.
He means: I am doing a PR job for a lousy Ibo governor, there is nothing in alaIgbo to smile about!

#15) Nd'Igbo have forgiven other Nigerians for the genocide and pogrom visited on Nd'Igbo especially by the Yoruba and Hausa
Meaning: His own personal losses and the losses of persons he truly loved in Biafra were minimal, and his fortunes today depend on whether the North and the Yoruba West can trust him to betray Nd'Igbo.
