ViperAda:1 Yoruba major you say? Well even if it were half yorobà major ,it was a Yoruba human after all.. but I'm sure names like wale demoyega,col banjo, lt olofimihan,captain fola oyewole and numerous Yoruba NCOs are not from nnewi. That coup had officers and men from the east,the west,the Midwest and the north..which region had the most participant is irrelevant. U can't compare that with the purely northern preceding coup of July that had 100 percent northern officers and infantry.. with zero casualties from the north.. I'm coming with some proofs to back up all these facts shortly..I'm a bit indisposed now 9 Likes 2 Shares |

I see some Yoloba people here arguing whether the Coup is Igbo or not forgetting what caused the coup. This is why people say that they are backstabbers. They forget how their instability in the western region, their crisis and wrong trial of Awolowo drove the boys to do the coup. Well, that is on the Yoloba side, on the North, it was about the Tiv uprising and the impending ethnic cleansing directed on the Northern Minorities, something we are now seeing today. This is a lesson for those that trust the lamentations of Yolobas. When the shit gets real, they backstab. Just look at Endsars and how it ended. It was a repeat of 1966 in another scale. Endsars that was fanned by Yolobas ended with "Igbo want to destroy Lagos" another variant of "Igbo coup" 18 Likes 2 Shares |

mightyhaze:You are wasting your time trying to explain to someone who doesn't know anything about the coup. Ask him why the coup was done and watch him dance skelewu. The coup is just like Endsars. Instigated by the cries from Yolobas and acted by those with balls (Igbo) then backstabbed by the same Yolobas 14 Likes 3 Shares |

Racoon: until the ibos spoilt it for everyone and they wonder why people dont trust ibos with the Armed forces or presidency. See what they did when they occupied the hierarchy of the Army. in addition, the 1st thing they did when they seized power in the 1966 coup was to centralize government, abolish regional power and remove the right to referendum....what does that tell anyone...that the motive of the ibo has always been to dominate and rule Nigeria. The problems we face in Nigeria today are down to those 2 actions by the ibo....handing the regional autonomy and powers that led to rapid development power to the center and removing the right to leave the Union.... typical ibo short term thinking not factoring that they may not always be in power. 25 Likes 4 Shares |

If only they knew they'd later turn on one another, losing their lives in the process leading to the deadly Nigerian civil war. Whenever I see these pre-indepence picture I just feel a kind of sadness. It would have been interesting to see what Nigeria would have become without those coups and the war. 10 Likes 3 Shares |

BKayy: the trouble in yoruba land was one of the things USED AS AN EXCUSE for the coup but we have since realized that it is simply the nature of the ibos to want to always have things their way and their way only and when they do not get their way (they were increasingly not getting their way in Balewa's govt as they were wising up to the ibos) they scatter things for everybody. One thing the history of Nigeria has taught us is that you cannot solve a problem with an ibo man peacefully. Peacefully to an ibo man means him getting his way. Just look at how they have turned the country upside down since 2015 simply because for the 1st time in the history of this country they werent part of the central govt. 20 Likes 4 Shares |
