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.

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.

First of, I am an ijaw man. Talking about death stats, many Nigerian soldiers died. In fact, over five of my uncles who fought on the side of Nigeria died in the war. One of them who was the most exposed and enlightened in the family was killed by Adekunle, a wicked Yoruba soldier. He was killed because he alerted those of my kinsmen and towns men who were sympathetic to the Biafra course, who were of course on the wanted list of the Nigerian soldiers. When the killing of the ijaw supporters of Biafra got to my place, and when the soldiers could not get the marked me, they accused my uncle. He was subsequently killed by Adekunle.
What I am telling you in essence that, a lot of people died even on the Nigerian side. And if you were wise, you will realise that all most all of those who fought and killed Biafrans are all dead. The remaining ones are on their way to the great beyond. Whichever way, nemesis have caught up with them. And again, the wanted killings and lack of justice in a supposed peace time have resulted in more deaths of Nigerians than the number of Biafrans killed during a war time.

What are you saying

Gen Ironsi takeover of Power was completely unconstitutional

And he frustrated all the British Governments agreement with the FG

to send troops in case of any emergency like they did in Tanzania

and saved Nyerere from a Coup attempt

How did he frustrate the fg that no longer existed.

Why didn’t Gen Ironsi support Dipcherima whom the rump Cabinet has elected as Acting Prime Minister

on the advice of the attorney General ?

Why did Ironsi then insist on taking over unconstitutionally?

Professor of history, can you tell us which politician/military officer did Ademoyega murdered on that fateful morning?

2elliot:
Try to read the real history. The coup failed because some of the soldiers had cold feet. They weren't as brutal as Nzeogwu. In fact, some of the soldiers pulled out when they were told that it would involve spilling of blood.
Again, why Ironsi found it difficult to prosecute Nzeogwu was because he Nzeogwu bargained for that before he accepted to relinguish the power he had in the northern region. Nzeogwu was disappointed when he got the information that the coup failed in Lagos, whereas he had already succeeded in the northern region. Fearing that he would be prosecuted, he planned to pull the northern region out since he held that power at that moment. So, he used that power to bargain with Ironsi for the freedom of his boys, and also asked that those who have been killed should receive compensation (to their families).

"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.

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.Peter obi will never be the president of Nigeria

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?
