ednut1:Can you say exactly what was wrong with Ojukwu's orders to Banjo about Yoruba land at the time given the fact that the foremost Yoruba leader-Awolowo, painted the picture that Yorubaland could not protect itself from the north? Earlier, Ojukwu had tried helping Yorubaland by asking that all soldiers leave their regions of posting and returning back to their regions of origin which Gowon rejected. The West had no military leader after Fajuyi was killed by the northern coup plotters. So, Ojukwu sending Banjo with Biafran soldiers and resources for the liberation of Yorubaland was subject to him being able to know those who he could trust to run the affairs of the land. This is how a person without prejudice will interpret his letter. However, most of you will always view Ojukwu and other Igbos with prejudice. Ever since you lots have taken that stance of hating on Igbos, has Nigeria fared any good? In fact, that stance is the reason for the death of Nigeria. The same people your people chose to hate have continued to prosper yet you can't change your position against them. In the same letter, Ojukwu clearly told him to remember that Biafrans were friends with Yorubas and so, care must be taken to reduce acts of violence to the barest minimum with the lowest of casualties. Compare that with Benjamin Adekunle saying that they will shoot at anything that moves in Igboland. This summarizes how Igbos took Yorubas back in the days and how Yorubas started to hate Igbos back in the days. Lastly, do you know it was Adekunle that formed the 3rd Marine Commando without official directive and led mostly Yoruba soldiers into the war even before Biafran army led by Banjo moved close to Yorubaland? Don't just believe me... research on it yourself and prove me wrong by responding to my claim on this post. I'm expecting your response. 3 Likes 1 Share |

shortgun: The coup was spearheaded by 5 majors. In typical igbo lying fashion, you only posted 2 of the majors, removing the other 3 majors who were all igbos, and replacing them with lower ranks who were following their orders. You igbos think others are daft like you. You don't even know how to lie intelligently. You see your life? Now, the 4 most important leaders in Nigeria then were Balewa, Zik, Orizu and Ironsi (3 igbos and 1 northerner). Only one was killed. Guess the tribe of those spared. The 3 major regions then were West, North and East, each having a premier. Only one premier was spared. Again, guess his tribe. You guys love fooling yourselves, thinking you're fooling anyone. 7 Likes 1 Share |

ednut1: Again, you are still buttressing my point. It was a needless war but the reason why it happened was because it was termed "an igbo coup". Nobody called it a "military coup" or "Kadnuna Nzeogwu's coup". It was an "perfect opportunity" for the Nigeria state to exterminate the igbo race. Why not target Nzeogwu/Ojukwu/the actors and kill them? Why must 3 million people die and their collect wealth and social capital destroyed because of this? And why we are at it my people were already being killed before 1966. (1. Jos 1945 2. Kano genocide 1953) and after 1970. 1 Like |

lastkingsman:majority of the dead were civilians who starved to death due to the blockade. The Nigerian side did not go into the war planning to kill 3m people. Mr ojukwu did not mind those people dying, only for him to run like a chicken in the end. The south south people also died and got maltreated by Biafran soldiers too. Both sides were not saints. 5 Likes |

It was tagged Igbo coup because Yorubas and Hausafulanis hated Igbos from day one. Na yorubas tagged it Igbo coup make north hate Igbos more. |

ednut1: Lol. So when you instigate food blockade, what do you intend to achieve? The Nigeria side exactly went into the war to decimate my people and there's no rigmarole around it. It's what it's. When you say Mr Ojukwu did not mind those people dying, you make me cringe. Kai! It was similar to what Kissinger and co did in Vietnam, "bomb them into submission". Like I said, these killings predated 1967 and 1967 was "an opportunity" to decimate my people and Nigeria state achieved their objective. That's why after 1970, the three Rs: Reconciliation Reconstruction Rehabilitation were consigned to dustbin of failed promises/deceit and "surprisingly" the killings hasn't stopped |

Brenbentondiaz:A Yoruba man compiled the list on X not me. I guess you are too blinded by misinformation to notice that. Ironsi was not a politician and was not even in the country when the coup took place and he was never a target, he was called upon to stabilize the country as the highest ranked military officer and was killed. Stop the misinformation! |

ednut1:Like I said, a person without prejudice won't see any wrong in a friendly person offering to come flush off undesirables from their land. It is all prejudice that is colouring your view of Ojukwu's offer. You failed to realise why Ojukwu handed such an important mission to Banjo- a Yoruba man. Ojukwu trusted Banjo to deliver. Igbos never had any ill will towards Yorubas at the time which was why Banjo fled to the East. It's almost impossible selling this points to your type so I'll stop. I currently have adjusted to the type of relationship befitting what Yorubas dish to us. Let fate decide who remains. |

gidgiddy: 1. How many people did Murtala and Buhari's coups killed? 2. Those who became victims of the coup, where are they from? Their ethnicities? Lets start with that. Its high time people accept their responsibilities and put the past where it rightly belongs, not try and justify whatever atrocities the committed and tweak history to suit their warped mentalities. 3 Likes |
