"Bro is trying to say he doesn't share the same ideology as his brother."
@ChilightEmperor went further, writing:
"Na you be the Real PSquare, unlike your brother whose numerous and unending calamities began when he married from a tribe of people who swore to become and remain the enemies of Igbo Nation. I hail your distinction in Cultural Pride 🤠"
@OkosDey4You focused on the broader sibling dispute:
"The beef between Peter and Paul is not ending anytime soon. But why Peter go dey promote French language than its own Igbo language, am Igbo man for that matter."
Not everyone agreed with the implied criticism of Peter. @RodriMCFC__ argued:
"This subtle shade is wrong btw. Its the kids that learnt French & has nothing with losing identity, culture or language. The world is bigger than Igbo language alone & to be able to compete on the global scale, you need other languages as well.".
