Tell us about the January 15, 1966 coup by the i.gbos that destroyed the fabric of harmony and prosperity and sound economy that this country enjoyed.

Your people destroyed the country, destroyed the regional type of government. Set the country back 500 years and come around to claim victimization.

Anyways, the Jagaban is working to resolve the country's challenges very soon.

Saturnalia:


I am sure you did not even read the article.

Your programmed tribalistic mind would never allow you to reason & think rationally.

The article is not talking about the Major Gideon Okar Coup of 1990 that attempted to depose the I.B.B regime, but rather the 1985 Coup that deposed the Buhari/Idiagbon regim.

Besides, if not that your Major Gideon Okar was as dumb & daft as the people (like yourself) who are still singing his praises, why would he ATTEMPT to crop out the Northern Region when Northern Military Officers also participated in the said Coup? Where was he expecting those Northern Military Officers to emigrate to?

It was that shortsightedness & nepotism that cost him his life - as those Northern Military Officers immediately switched allegiance and worked against Major Gideon Okar after he made his foolish announcement on the Radio.

The lesson here is; No Region in Nigeria can singlehandedly execute a successful Coup d’etat or impose a democratically elected President on the people (like your people who thought they could foist a certain OVERNIGHT MESSIAH on Nigerians) - without the active collaboration & participation of other Regions.

Oh dear I love history. Where can I get more information on coups

vacanci:


I dont understand some parts of this article,

are you saying that the Babangida palace coup has Buhari and Idiagbon in support of removing them?

AyakaDunukofia:
Mixed feelings. The truth remains that the socio economic situation of the khaki boys' time has made the so called Nigerian democracy a mockery, big joke. It's very difficult to dispute this reasoning. It's a fact!

Mistake Shagari made in 1979 was not retiring this unintelligent clowns like Buhari, IBB and Abacha. Those one's Obasanjo retired were shocked when they brought their retirement letter to them in their office lol. They thought they were going to be hanging around to plan another useless future coup.

Jayhome24:


Pls ignored him he is a known nuisance here.

Bro that is how they love praising mediocre. As you mentioned about Major Okar dumb Coup, my own people have these stupid and strange mentality by wanting you on their side to fight your own people but they are not ready to be on anyone side to fight their own people honestly this mentality making me go craze sometime.

Imagine they want Vivour who could not speak a single Yoruba to become Lagos gpvetnor and still find a way to coined some Yoruba idiots into their ideology but in our own region(SE) we can never allow stranger to become ordinary market gateman takless of market leader.

Same way they successfully coined Edo into the ideology but when Edo needed them it's then my people will remember Edo are witches.

Pls ignore him bro. Let him go and read the article very well or he shoud keep quiet.

That’s a successful coup is well planned. The coup plotters took that into consideration.

femarse:


The only person I blame in all of this is obafemi awolowo, who was the only reason Nigeria still exist for declaring support for gowon, if Obafemi awolowo has also force us Yoruba to leave the entrapment call Nigeria , we Yoruba will be rivaling the western nation and I strongly believe the south and the east will not be far behind in development, Nigeria as a whole is an entrapment of corruption that will continue to sing development song in years to come

And how do you think Pa Awo could have force yoruba out of Nigeria, at the time in question? Had Awolowo tried anything of such, what happened to Biafra would have been our lot with the attendant destruction of yorubaland and innocent lives.

By so doing, pa awo would havefallen into Ojukwu's trap. What do we have to fight with? Even ojukwu that bragged of been preparing since the " Northerners revenge coup" of July 1966, only had a few guns - relics from the WW1, in his armoury. Coupled with the fact the west & lagos was under siege from Northern troops, still bloodthirsty after igbos had murdered their revered spiritual leaders and also top military personnel.

Interesting enough, ojukwu was going to attack yorubaland anyway, regardless of what steps awo takes.
