Tunami:Aguyi Ironsi acts and greed for power was/is part if not the main cause of Nigeria's problem, whereby people in government want to get to top even if it means killing their follow country men and expect people to worship them for it. For his actions dia was a reaction, an eye for an eye makes Nigeria go blind sha. 23 Likes 5 Shares |

Knowing the undercurrents of the coup and all the sentiments, Aguiyi Ironsi should NOT have taken over leadership at that moment in time, it only fueled speculations and the resultant commotions from Jan 1967. 4 Likes |

ManMountain: You are wise. But the fact was that he was the most senior officer at the time. In addition, he led the counter operation against the main plotters of the first coup which led to its eventual failure in Lagos and Ironsi's subsequent assumption of office. 32 Likes 4 Shares |

Jombojombo: Danjuma led the assault that foiled the Dimka coup against Murtala, he was Chief of Army staff, he refused to to assume leadership role, to some people, they will labeled that as an act of cowardice, but to a sensible one, it was a wise decision knowing that Dimka is a Middle Belt man like Danjuma. Sometimes, the right thing is not always the wise or moral thing. 40 Likes 4 Shares |

Expecting the same persons that killed him to celebrate him? Where is TY Danjuma? The man that led the operations. What of (then) Capt Martin Adamu? Killers and bloodsuckers who thrive on mediocrity and quota system. I don't seek for this country to divide, but we must have a total fiscal federalism Shikinan! 6 Likes |

ManMountain: It was (then) Col Ibrahim Babangida that led the assault, not Danjuma. Why did Danjuma not take over? 1. They tried to avoid what happened when Ironsi was killed that led to the war by refusing the next in rank, Brig Ogundipe to take over. Obj was next in rank and ought to take over. Having Obj in power then was really nothing to them, because he was an appendage of the north then. 2. Why was he not made second in command to Obj? He is a christian and from northern minority. They needed a muslim from the core north to pair Obj to placate the 'owners' of Nigeria that they have not totally lost power. 26 Likes |

Jombojombo: Very correct! People don't know that while other officers ran into hiding, it was Ironsi who came out and crushed the coup and assumed command. Being the most senior officer, he had to take over. Now an igbo coup was crushed by an igbo officer. No one talks about this. 39 Likes 4 Shares |

Truth be told, Aguiyi Ironsi had the golden opportunity to do the right thing upon assuming leadership after the abortion of the so-called Igbo coup. But he failed to bring instant justice to those officers who brutally murdered notable Nigerians (while sparing those from a particular region of the country). This was the case against Ironsi. Perhaps the events which led up to the Civil War would have been averted and millions of lives saved. 18 Likes 4 Shares |
