thank you.

by the way, when the igbos soldiers were disarming the hausa soldiers and the fight started. would that not be viewed as an igbo coup? when they were arming, disarming and fighting eachother were yorubas not killed unnecessarily (since it all happen in the sw mainly lagos, ibadan and abeokuta). i say some biafrans are selfish and only think about themselves that is even why they invaded!

Nice question,

That vid is 1.5 hours long. Can someone provide a summary? Or at least hit the key points?

You guys are something else, so it is only ironsi's death you gys can pick from that interview.

He did not say much of what we never knew before, you don't expect the earlier story to include his own personal account like the journey in the ship. He even said somethings about the role he played that made me to be disappointed in him but i am relieved today that it has comeback to bite him in the recent middle belt crisis.

All in all i still admire his person because he gave those accounts truthfully to a certain extent except in some cases. Can you guys point out what is different between his account from his earlier account we already know. He still did not answer the big question which was " Why did those guys plan the first coup since he rightly told us the reason behind the second coup".
