The reason why we say its not an Igbo coup is not because Nzeogwu is from Delta State, its because nobody voted for him. The generality of Igbos did not meet somewhere and decided to carry out a coup then sent Nzeogwu. Those military boys of about 30yrs old acted on their own.

How difficult is it for you guys to understand this?

How convenient. Nobody sent Nzeogwu to do coup on behalf of the igbos, but the generality of yorubas sent Bola Tinubu to go and steal election votes. So every Femi, Wale , Dayo that you guys see must be called names and all sort.

Who is bothered about these ones?
They have crawled out from their holes since three days, making noise all over the place.
When chips are down they crawl back to their holes.
Did you hear that one of their own was called upon to take over after the death of Murtala, what happened, he ran away.
Their concern these days is who killed Ahmadu Bello? who killed Tafawa Balewa?
The cowards can't ask IBB who killed Abiola, Kudirat, Dele Giwa etc
A COMMUNITY OF COWARDS!

IBB..Speaks about the Coup as an active participant.

FFK...Speaks as what?
RENO.. Speaks as What?


All these Agbado miscreants can never change the narrative..

Beriberi can never change facts .

Una don fail..

Sorry I am just curious. And note, I am for nobody on this topic.

Rufia Oseni of Arisetv speaks as what?
David Hundeyin speaks as what?
Those that support their narrative/posit... Speaks as what?

You in particular speaks as what?

Me speaks as what?

But we are all have our opinions even without our active participation.

We all are miscreants.

Nzeogwu had zero votes, Tinubu has millions of Yoruba votes so yet, Yorubas sent Tinubu

Like I have written many times, Igbo an Yoruba cannot unite; therefore, it is better for the two ethics to part ways in peace. This is a confirmation.

They don't call him Maradona for nothing

So it is the past we are at now. Chai..This IBB book have brought distraction

Look at the he-goat calling his grandfather brainless! Mugu!
Have you read the so called book?

Call your fada what you like and the coup remain an Igbo coup. Shey dem shit for your sense?

I think u quoted the wrong person o 😀

Thank you for this clarification.

tunapawizzy:


Because the coup was spearheaded by igbos, non-igbo leaders were major cansulaties while the igbo leaders were coincidentally away on vacation or just "miraculously" unavailable to be killed. The coup was botched and the the Senate President-Nwafor Orizu an igbo man who could have called for the formation of another civilian government, decided to hand power over to another Igbo man. Then an igbo man became president - beneficiary of the coup. The people that carried out the coup-mostly igbo majors were caught but the new head of state, an igbo man(beneficiary of the coup) decided not to try them after pressure from other officers of non-igbo extraction to have the coup conspirators tried.

In summary, igbo soldiers led a coup, that targeted and killed non-igbo leaders and spared igbo leaders, an igbo man caught the coup plotters, the senate president who is a also an igbo man then transmitted power to the igbo man that caught the coup plotters, the caught copu plotters were not tried as expected and demanded severally..... DOes this not look like igbo coup?

seunmsg:
Igbos planned a coup and wanted to blame everyone but themselves for it. IBB was even emphatic in his opinion that it was an Igbo coup.

Now Nzeogwu is Igbo but the Delta he is from r not Igbos, how can u people be speaking from both sides of ur mouth.
What of Ademoyega who wrote " Why we struck". Y didn't he say why Igbo struck or r u people going to say Ademoyega is an Igbo person?

I am still looking for the soft copy of Adewale Ademoyega's "why we struck" so i can post it here for these clueless bigots to read and instantly go mute.

In actual fact, Ademoyega was the mastermind of that coup. NZEOGWU was the face!

Ademoyega did the recruiting of officers into the plan. In addition to the fact he was the most senior in age, he appeared to be the most educated and strategic.

He it was that drafted Major Theophilus Nzegwu, the first igbo air force officer to organise the aircraft that would bring Awo from Calabar prison after the success of the coup.

I will find the soft copy of "why we struck".. I lost my physical copy unfortunately but I'll definitely find it and have it posted here.

PS: Nzeogwu is an igbo man in one breath and his people in delta state are not igbos in another according to these cursed ronu twats 😂... keep spinning your double mouthed selves into a corner.

PSS: Maybe we should also term the obasanjo coup as a yoruba coup and the Buhari/Abacha coups as fulani coups 🤦🏾‍♂️

let me share an excerpt from Wikipedia on this issue

"The coup was later tagged an "Igbo coup" by other ethnic groups in the country based on the following:

The killing patterns – only Arthur Unegbe of the 22 casualties is of Igbo origin, while notable Igbo politicians like the Premier of Eastern region, the senate president Nwafor Orizu(which was convicted for corruption years before) and high ranking military personnel like Aguiyi Ironsi were unharmed.[20]
The handing over of the government to Ironsi by Nwafor Orizu (the acting president and the senate president who could have called for the formation of another civilian government) made it look like it was planned out all along.[21]
The unification decree of May 1966 promulgated by Ironsi, leading to the abolition of regional power and the unification of the regional civil service into a federal civil service [22] – Historically speaking, the West and North have always believed in the regional system of government as the best form of government for a multi-ethnic country like Nigeria, however this was taken away by Ironsi, leading to a massive outrage and pogrom in the North in May 1966.
This happened a few months before the counter coup by Northern soldiers, which lead to the death of Ironsi, Fajuyi and many officers of Igbo origin.
The coup plotters, though kept in jail, were never court-martialled and punished according to military procedure. On other occasions unsuccessful bloody coups meant death of the coup plotters, we can see the example in the coup attempts under Obasanjo(where Diya and other mutineers were killed by firing squad) and Babangida( where he had to kill Mamman Vatsa, his old time friend)
Other participants of the coup including Major Ademoyega, a Yoruba, Captain Ben Gbulie,[23] Colonel Nwobosi,[24] and others later came out to refute the idea that it was an "Igbo coup" through book publications and interviews.[citation needed]"


You can't fault those who see the coup as an Igbo coup especially when u look at it from the lens of the casualties. How come of the 22 casualties only 1 person was of Igbo descent? why was Nwafor Orizu (the then acting president in the absent of Zik whom many believed was hinted of the coup) spared? why were there no coup related activities in the east? why was Opara and Ironsi spared when their counter part from the North and west were killed?

Maradona.

My questions remain...

My the consistent need to twist and taint an already bad history as ethnic?!!

Is Nigeria not terribly divided as it is?!!

I thought the progress of this deteriorating nation lies in UNITY?!!

Who really stands to gain from a completely schismed and ethnically divided Nigeria?!! Definitely not you average citizens of Nigeria.



It would be great if Nigerian youths start asking the right questions.

Na Igbo coup and Northerners showed them serious shege in return yet the cowards are fixated on Yorubas refuelled by IBB's classic Maradona leg-over

Is this what dey argue about in the UK or China ?

Why ?

It's like u are not aware that the black has a problem. USA and others fourth a more brutal war- go there and see if they are still engaged in hating one another because of that war.

Tigernut101:
Nzeogwu is now a full blooded Igbo man but Ngozi Iwuala is not Igbo.

Stupid set of people.

LOL, I just dey laugh since... All these useless tribes surrounding igbos from Afonjassss to the janjaweedddds are all worthless around igbos. Inferiority and fear of unknown is taking toll on them. At this point, Nzeogwu must be igbo by fire by force but every other person from that area is Delta igbo or non igbos or south south... Idiottts everywhere

Since IBB's book came out Yorubas has become online historians 😂😂.

No wonder IBB said "If I am asleep and wake up hearing Yorubas beating the drumbeat of war, I will go back to sleep because they are all cowards". 😂😂

Only tribal bigots whose brains are infested with hate will believe fools like Reno and FFK who can cook any lie to stand on their beliefs than IBB and their so called Ademola. Tribal bigots shame no dey catch una

You're deflecting. Tinubu rigging election was done by him and his supporters. Tinubu has actual voters who mandated him. Nzeogwu wasnt even know in the East before the coup. He had zero votes and zero mandate and as such represented nobody.

I know you badly want it to be an Igbo coup but no, it was a military coup

Don't waste your precious time on idiots!

Adewale Ademoyega said it clearly in his book "why we struck" as early as 1981 but the yoruba lagos/ibadan print media mafia have done everything in their power to revise history 😂

But no wahala... truth cannot he hidden... When Gowon pens his own memoir, get ready to have an instant stroke on reading his 😂

Igbos planned a coup.. that's the narrative you enjoy pushing but go blind, deaf and dumb when you get to the partof the story were it was the same igbos that foiled the coup.

Ademoyega himself owned up to the fact that AZIKIWE WAS NOT IN THEIR PLAN TO STRIKE! And like Awolowo, the coup plotters probably believed Zik should have been at the helm

These were a group of disgruntled miltary officers who were very unhappy with the unbridled corruption in the polity. Massive corruption perpuated by POLITICAL UNREST THAT BEGAN IN THE SOUTH WEST! Military officers who were highly educated with very rigid social/political values and ideologies. Unlike officers of today.
Some even believed them to be devout, practicing socialists which would explain why Awolowo was their choice of a leader.

Akintola was a very corrupt,cantankerous and recalcitrant premier who turned the south west upside down, went head to head with Awolowo and culminating in the famous cross carpeting and upsetting of the polity.

The Yoruba can attest to the character of Akintola if they are being truthful with themselves but I won't hold my breath. See how they foisted an incompetent Tinubu on the rest of the country and are proudly defending that idiotic move knowing fully well the fellow is not the best they could have presented.

Today, the same yorubas who started this madness have carefully rewritten history and painted themselves saints.

Look at what is happening in Lagos and Osun today! It is a well known fact that when it comes to political rascality and thuggery the south west is UMATCHED!!!

These 5 majors saw all these in the polity and decided to put a stop to it.

Awolowo and Azikiwe must have been the only leaders they thought should have been at the helm and explains why they were spared.

You folks should go and read history and stop pushing nauseating propaganda.

The Problem is that FFK who is talking here was just a child when the civil war began. what does he think he knows about the civil war apart from telltales

You can keep up the brain gymnastics all day long but one Question you all have failed to answer wisely is ??

why were the east spared ?? aftermaths of the coup Aguiyi ironsi became military president ... explain that

1966 is not the only coup in Nigeria history, it is logical to colorize becos it happened within the time Akintola was pushing for a coalition with the north, AGP merge NPC it would have being synonymous to APC of today, the igbos would have being relegate like now ...

Akintola was not the head in west but he was a target, why ??

Coincidentally the most affected political members assasinated in 1966 coup were from Northern peoples congress do 1 + 2

show me i am not making sense

Coup in inilitary has no ethnic colouring,its simply.as it is coup. what made 1966.coup stood out was the calibre of people assisinated and the non chalant attitude of Ironsi in punishing the coupist,not to to talk of how the Igbos were rubbing it on the face of anyone that cared to listen.Ahmadu bello and Tafawa Balewa shouldnt have been killed.

You guys will cry till eternity..the fact we already knew has been publicly expose by the real participant there's nothing you can do about it..nothing at all . absolutely nothing..hahaha
