There is a difference between Igbo Speaking and Igbo

For example Plateau State is Hausa Speaking but not Hausa

Egbirra are Yoruba Speakers but not Yoruba

Parts of Edo State like Akoko Edo are Yoruba Speaking but not Yoruba

Americans are English Speaking but not English

Nzeogwu is Igbo Speaking but they see themselves as offshoot Of Benin

Nobody in Okpanam claims to be from Benin. Okpanam is short for Okpala-Anam and is as Igbo as can be

Fantastic!

So how come his coup is an Igbo coup?

According to the creator of this thread, he said:
"But what is most interesting is that all of these people are tagging the infamous 1966 coup as an Igbo coup as they have always done; erroneously so."

A Coup that was masterminded, orchestrated and executed by key heartless people like ; Chukuwama Nzeogwu, Anuforo,Onwuatuegwu, Emmanuel Efeajuna, Humphrey Chukwuma, Don Okafor
Is what?

Is it a Fulani coup? Our problem in this country is when the truth is against our interest or affiliations, we always tend to see it as campaign of calumnies against us.

Truth should always be truth, irrespective of whether it favour us or not.

Eleribu ni o! Olodo rapata ni o! Who mentioned Ademulegun?
I am talking about Maj. Adewale Adeomoyega who was Yoruba like us and was one of the coupists that killed politicians and officers. The only coupist that wrote a book about the coup.

You just open your dirty agbado-munching sandy mouth to talk nonsense.
I go use history lessons flog your urchin back tear for here. Werey to nbe bi oya.

Osu ,
Tell us who Ademoyega killed
Your cowardly and treacherous grandfathers could kill other people in cold blood but suddenly developed paralysis when it was time to kill Azikwe , Osadebey , Okpara and Ironsi
Typical ibo mentality .
Your useless forebears more than paid for their stupidity tho .

The thoughtless ibo tribal coup of 1966 led us to where we are today and no osu pig would enter Aso rock until you losers apologise to Nigerians for derailing the country

FreedomfromtheT:
Ebiras are not Yoruba speakers please. Thank you.

AdaojoTheUrchin:


Ademoyega told us he participated in the coup in Lagos and killed Col. Unegbe, Tafawa Balewa etc.

christistruth01:




Thank you very much

Ironsi And Azikiwe were the real brains behind the Coup

Gen Ironsi was the head of the Army and was responsible for Providing Security for those murdered

by his Army boys

For example Ademuleguns Security details were secretly changed in the Middle of the night without his knowledge

Only Ironsi was Authorised to do that

Secondly Azikiwe went Abroad because he knew of the planned Coup

The British intelligence contacted Dr Azikiwe’s Doctors in the UK who confirmed there was

nothing wrong with Azikiwe and he was healthy enough to return to Nigeria, for the

Commonwealth Conference

Thirdly after the Prime Minister was Kidnapped and Several People Killed Alhaji Ahmed Kurfi

Went to the State House to see Gen Ironsi about the Missing Prime Minister

and found him at a meeting with Ifeajuna who had just killed

Brigadier Maimailari and Prime Minister Balewa Present

Ok I will correct that but the Egbirra Language is very close to the Yoruba Language

Doesn’t Ajaokuta sound Yoruba to you ?

Penguin2:


Oh, really?

Now why is Gideon Okar’s coup not Tiv coup?

Why is Buhari coup not Fulani coup?

Why is Babaginda coup not Hausa coup?

Why is Nzeogwu’s coup the only one with that ethnic tag?

YeeboMuslim:

See this osu clown revising history .
Azikwe , Okpara , Osadebey and Ironsi ( yeebos ) were supposed to die in the coup but they miraculously escaped
The good news is that your cowardly ancestors more than paid for their stupidity

omale88:
dont get it wrong,i understand, your point of view concerning this,but all those other coups didn't follow similar rythme as that of nzeogu,if you read history it was the first coup to happen in Nigeria,ironsi didn't have a hard time defeating nzeogu to regain control,as a matter of fact there was hardly any battle,and in the end nzeogu wasn't put in prison as it should be,he was walking as a free man,so many red flags hanging around,not to mention how he converted money given to him for a different purpose to arm his colleagues,also there was a controversial cartoon poster about the northern elites who where killed during the coupe one year after it happened which triggered mixed feelings,you cant talk about other coups with highlighting the first.the first of anything is the best reference because each that follows is an exact replica of the first,nzeogu thought our soldiers a bad thing and they followed same as festus okotie eboh thought our politicians corruption. i understand your pain,its not easy to be always reminded of a hurt or wrong you've done,but history exists so you can prove people wrong.

It is actually Igala that sounds close to Yoruba yet Igalas are not Yoruba speakers. Thank you.

No!

Nzeogwu was not allowed to roam free in the street. He was arrested and imprisoned with his co-plotters.

The only misgiving people had with Ironsi was the fact that he was not swift with sentencing them to firing squad.

Please get your facts right.

Penguin2:


You are the first person I’m hearing accuse Ironsi of masterminding the coup. Nobody has done that before, including scholars.

The only thing that has ever been used against Ironsi was his prevarication to prosecute the coup plotters.

So, where are you getting your narratives?

Roger3D:
It was an Ibo coup. Simple and plain. Nobody should attempt to rewrite history

Thanksful:


So today now there is no place called Niger Delta because Nzogu is from Niger Delta?

I want all those people from Niger Delta to come out and agree with you now.

Like the thousands of piglets that perished with the pogrom or the 3 million that were suyanised subsequently.
Infact, the tiny barren sad east is the poverty capital of the south at the moment with their home grown terrorists running riot

Niger Delta is a place/location, not a tribe.

Penguin2:
Because of this year’s election, this year’s Armed Forces Remembrance Day has taken different dimensions with some elements trying to remind some Nigerians who killed their ancestors.

But what is most interesting is that all of these people are tagging the infamous 1966 coup as an Igbo coup as they have always done; erroneously so.

But it was this same people that would remind the Aniomas of Delta State that they are not Igbos.

So, I want to know what changed… Kaduna Nzeogwu is from Okpanam in Delta State.

Why is Kaduna Nzeogwu from Okpanam an Igbo man but Okpanam is not an Igboland, and everyone else in Okpanam are not Igbos?

tinsel:

That coup started all these nonsense in Nigeria

2elliot:
And what is incriminating about that? He stopped the coup, and therefore thought it was his birthright to rule.
