several million eastern nigerians died from the pogroms against them, such as the 1966 anti-igbo pogrom where between 10,000 and 30,000 igbo people were killed. many homes, schools, and hospitals were destroyed in the conflict, as well. on top of this, the federal government of nigeria denied igbo people access to their savings placed in nigerian banks and provided them with little compensation. the war also led to a great deal of discrimination against the igbo people at the hands of other ethnic groups.
