Deadlytruth: I am not the author of "Why we struck" ![]() ![]() The coalition of Akintola's AG faction with the NPC (NNDP) was planning to wipe out the coalition of NCNC and Awo's AG faction (UPGA). H.O. Davies exposed it, Ademoyega confirmed it. I understand Its painful for you to accept but eventually it will sink in. |

nku5: "Why We Struck" is a hurriedly assembled plethora of lies and incoherent claims aimed at rationalizing a senseless killing spree by the friends of the author. No author of a controversial topic writes to indict himself of guilt. Therefore when you read a book, you don't swallow everything hook line and sinker, but you read between the lines in order to separate the author's lies from the truth. For example, in one part of the book the author of "Why We Struck" claims that the coup was conceived as far back as 1961. But in another page he claims that the coup was inspired in him and his accomplices by the corruption in government. Now the logical question is this, the dawn of 1961 was just roughly two months into the administration of Tafawa Balewa, thus how could a government that had hardly even settled down to business have within just two months perpetrated a level of corruption that could inspire a coup plot in any army officer? There are many other silly claims which fail the test of common sense as the one I just mentioned above. And how come of all books written about the coup, only "Why We Struck" titillates the fancy of the average Igbo man even though it was authored by a man from the very Yoruba ethnic group which you Igbos accuse of propaganda, lies, revisionism, etc? I have read through why we struck and it didn't take me much to identify too many logical incoherence and chronological defects in the author's averments. 4 Likes 1 Share |
