Madam, which rule was there that the Archbishop couldn't witness the arrest of Okpara? Secondly, did the Archbishop pay a surprise visit to Okpara? You mean they were not aware he had plans to visit Okpara and therefore postpone the operation till a more conducive day? You mean you cannot see how watery these excuses are? I shouldn't be surprised though.

God dey! The coupists could not arrest and execute Chief Michael Okpara because of the visit of a Pastor but they could assassinate Gen. Ademulegun.
His pregnant wife was also executed, when she protested her husband's execution.
It was also easy to track down Gen. Maimalari and
had him executed after his initial escape from the coupists, when they came to his house, but it was extremely difficult to track down Gen. Ironsi.
Ditto for the other Igbo military and political leaders.

Whatever your view of the invasion of the Midwest, it turned out to be a wrong move as most military analysts have concluded. The Federal Forces who were initially dilly-dallying woke up and focused. Secondly it turned the hitherto neutral Midwest and Southwest against Biafra.

The Midwest invasion was more of an ideological war than a physical one, whatever personal ambitions Ojukwu nursed will forever be left for history to judge, but one thing is certain...if the old Midwest and Western region had aligned with the Biafran forces who deemed themselves a "Liberation" force at the time, the southern unity would surely have destroyed the Northern hegemony, cause it's a common fact that the Northern soldiers controlled Lagos and parts of the West and Midwest at the time, as they were still stationed in both regions while they were repatriated from the East...today we now still the same situation where all the administrative, military, and executive tiers of government are controlled by the Northerners with yorubas playing second fiddle in the power sharing formula. I'm not even for Southern unity at these point cause we definitely can't sit around the round table and work out our differences, it's just the Igbos who still invest in all parts of Nigeria in the spirit of some preposterous One Nigeria spirit that I pity the most, cause when yawa gas...it will be "to thine tents o Isreal " all over again.

I am glad you put the "Liberation" in quote because you cannot be liberating anything with a group of untrained, marauding boys camouflaging as soldiers. The Yorubas are no slouches in warfare in any case and needed no liberation. Awolowo was already planning a meeting with Ojukwu on the way forward when he caught wind of the Midwest invasion and quickly backtracked. You claim you want to forge an alliance while your actions say the opposite. Of course as they say, the rest is history.

In war every form of neutrality is truncated the moment you invade another man's land, the Midwest was there for the taking because it was still deemed federal territory at the time, if Nigeria didn't fire the first shot at Ogoja and Garkem, there won't have been a Midwest invasion.
Ore saw no significant battle, Biafran troops stalled there thanks to Victor Banjo who was the worst possible character to even lead an attack of such importance in the first place, it's like asking a demon to lead an army of demons to upstage the devil at the gate of hell...very absurd...in war time and momentum are very important, we lost that by failing to press our advantage and paid the price by buying the Federal side enough time to reorganize and counter attack a force led by a clueless traitor.

We lost the Midwest but Muritala paid the price at Onitsha and Abagana, losing almost 10,000 troops just to capture a town is a pyrrhic way to console yourself as a commanders, little wonder he quit and returned to Lagos a defeated man.

Please try to understand that Midwestern region was never neutral from the point of Aburi, Ghana consultation to the point of police action. The three regional governors of north, west and midwest colluded with Gowon and Nigeria to precipitate war against east. Midwestern region became the launch pad of Gowon and Nigerian federal troops to attack eastern region especially in the capture of Ubani (Bonny).

The war itself was avoidable, it's a sad part of our history that will haunt the nation forever, I wouldn't know why Ojukwu invaded the Midwest, the only thing that makes sense to me would be that reasons could be political, to reach out to the Western and Midwestern regional leaders in an effort to forget a tie for Southern solidarity, if the invasion was simply for his personal gain,then may history judge him..but then he is dead now, and still remains a symbol of heroism and honor to the Igbo nation for at least standing up to for his people due to the cataclysm of killings of his people, all this in spite of his flaws...both sides made mistakes, and unfortunately millions had to die for the obstinacy of two young military gentlemen..Gowon and Ojukwu.

I like your tone; but just to set the records straight, the only obstinate young man was Ojukwu. Gowon did everything he could to avoid war. There was absolutely no reason to push into the Midwest; it was a rash and ill-calculated move especially given the fact that dialog was afoot. It then appeared the move for dialog was nothing but a subterfuge/diversion. That is not how to wage a war.

It is not the most authoritative regarding the first Nigerian coup by a wide margin. The "Five Majors" by the Ben Gbulie is ultra-authoritative regarding the first Nigerian coup.

Please kindly read where my comment says "...one of the most..." I know there are other similar accounts out there like that of Alexander Madiebo and others; that of Adewale is just one of them. We have all been gullible of the make-believe poem the government has fed us over time, thats why I started my research to understand things from "the condenmed" angle. Its unfortunate that most Yorubas out of competitive instinct against the Igbos have refused to read and acknowledge the truth. But to me, its not a problem, Time is all that holds the truth but it cant stop it!

Ngozi123:


He was also, like many other British journalists, working undercover for the British government, which both explicitly and implicitly supported the Nigerian Army. Perhaps, that makes his account more balanced. Read Max Siollun's book about the coups, that is, if you haven't already.



There was a coup in the Eastern region... it just didn't succeed due to various reasons.

how is Frederick Forsyth to Ojukwu?

Ngozi123:


Dennis Osadebay, the Igbo Premier, was placed under house arrest and Michael Okpara, the Premier of the Eastern Region, was also arrested. However, Okpara's arrest was delayed by the fact that he was hosting the Head of State of Cyprus, Archbishop Makarios. Had it not been for this, he would have been arrested much quicker and maybe Ironsi wouldn't have had enough time to send Lt-Colonel Ejoor to the East to quell the coup there. You see, Ironsi was already in Lagos when this happened and so was aware of the coup going on there. Essentially, it's almost impossible to plan these things to perfection.

Also, the main coup plotter in the East, Lieutenant Oguchi, was one of the soldiers who advocated for a bloodless coup so he may have been apprehensive to kill them so quickly. I honestly believe that had Ifeajuna caught wind of this, he would have ordered them to execute them immediately but this couldn't happen because there wasn't enough time. Many of the other military leaders/politicians were arrested before they were executed.

bravo, lovely. You will make a good house wife by covering your husband's mistake.
You mean the coup plotters don't know that the ArchBishop of Cyprus was in Nigeria to have postpone the coup? But they could attacked and killed Akintola who just returned from his visit to Ahmadu Bello?
okpara's ArchBishop meeting was also the reason he helped Ifeajuna escaped to Ghana. Perfect. I love this your moonlight one sided story.
Part of the reasons why no Ibos lost their in the coup except the one who was close to Maimalari and would not realease keys to the armoury(Unegbe) was also the reason why Azikiwe was on a health trip to Caribean? the substantive President, Nnamdi Azikiwe, also of eastern
origin, had left the country in late 1965 first for Europe,
then on a health cruise to the caribbean, after allegedly
being tipped off by his cousin, Major Ifeajuna, one of the
masterminds of the coup and, some say, overall leader. You know they are part of the good reasons why Ibo politicians never lost their lives? More reasons? I still need more from you...
But let me add this to i( reflect on it and they are words from Nzeogwu...
Major Ifeajuna was later to be accused by Major Patrick
Nzeogwu, leader of northern operations, of bungling or
ignoring an apparent understanding to assassinate General
Ironsi in Lagos - an oversight, or "misguided
consideration" (to use Nzeogwu's words) that caused the
failure of the coup. Indeed, Nzeogwu bluntly declared publicly that the execution of the coup in the South was
tribalistic. Captain Emmanuel Nwobosi (rtd), leader of
operations in the Western region, has since corroborated
the view that operations in Lagos were compromised by
nepotism.
For this and other reasons, over the years, some
analysts have come to view Nzeogwu, who was recruited two full months after the plot was already in progress, as a
tool in a plot he never fully understood. Indeed, in offering
condolences for the death of the Sardauna of Sokoto, ex-
Senate President Nwafor Orizu told Alhaji Shehu Shagari
that Major Nzeogwu was "an unknown entity among the
Ibos (sic) in the Eastern region."

Ojukwu was a power hungry boy or young man.

No man can bring you into his course by only invading your teritory.

That is a stupid move. All the herdsmen like ojukwu needs to do is to first dialogue and win the people to their side. Then the poeple will give him passage and support.

Till today, majority of ibo men i know, including our tenants and neighbours like to usurp people's right.
and expect the person to keep quiet.
As soon as the person react, they tag him enemy, onyeojo, afonja, or cow.

What ojukwu lacked is what many of his kinsmen lacked till today, " ability to respect others".

If ojukwu have the right to decide going to war, others have a right to choose where they stand.

The brutality of the coup was only towards the non Ibos. Michael Okpara was drinking tea with Ifeajuna hours later. The same Ifeajuna who was brutally mauling every non Ibos down in Lagos, suddenly found a refuge in the house of Okpara,

All the brutality fizzled out when they saw Ibo politicians like Osadebey and Okpara. Shebi Ibo ministers filled the cabinet how come non of them was killed example like Jaja Wachuku

Below is an exceprt from the Jan 15 night. Now[b][/b] read and understand how treacherous those ibo people are. Balewa was dealing with Wachuku with one mind while him was planning with coupist. Jaja

The Prime Minister, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, who had high respect and a soft spot for Jaja Wachuku pleaded with him to reinstate Blankson and accept another ministry. Wachuku refused. Balewa even asked his wife Rhoda Idu Jaja Wachuku to plead with him, yet he refused and tendered his resignation from Parliament and as an Executive Member of Government midday 14 January 1966. Balewa was yet to accept Wachuku's resignation when the army struck by mid-night; barely 12 hours later – thus ushering in the era of military coups in Nigeria. Wachuku's official residence, at 7, Okotie-Eboh Street Ikoyi, Lagos, Nigeria, was surrounded by soldiers. His younger brother: Kennedy Madu Wachuku, father of Ugonna Wachuku was with him that day, Jaja Wachuku looked through the window in the early hours of the morning and asked the soldiers: "What are you boys doing here?" One of the soldiers replied: "Good morning, Sir. But haven't you heard what is happening in the country?" To which Wachuku replied: "Yes. I know you boys have taken over the Government." And the soldier said: "Do not be afraid, Sir. We have come to protect you for being an honest Government Minister." Jaja Wachuku survived the military coup.

“His orderly who was an Igbo officer led soldiers into the house around 2am that night, and they went straight to his room and knocked. They told him that soldiers wanted to stage a coup and that he should follow them to safety. He said he wasn’t going anywhere and that he prefers to remain with his family, but they forced him to go with them. That was the last time they saw him. He said a short prayer and followed them. For six days, no one could tell us where he was.”
“But the morning after the coup, we all heard that the Premier of the Northern region, Sir Ahmadu Bello, the Sardauna of Sokoto had been killed.

Thank you for reiterating this fact. I already said that he was also the Head of State. The man was supposed to have left by the time the coup started. The delay was only a few hours- how on earth could anyone have prepared for that? Also people don't seem to realise that Ironsi was supposed to have been killed by then so they really didn't expect him sending Ejoor to quell the rebellion, thereby making this delay less important in their view at the time. We all have the benefit of hindsight and should be mindful of such.
