Actually Okpanam is an Olukumi Town

Their founding Ancestors were Yorubas from Owo and Akure

They became Igbo Speaking with time

Ask them

tollyboy5:

Stop defending ironsi and other top igbo leaders that miraculously escaped.

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?

tinsel:

That coup started all these nonsense in Nigeria

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.

Awolowo acted solely by himself on whatever thing he was chasing as at the time. But the subject matter in particular here involves over 7 or more Igbo men as key conspirator and orchestrator of one of the greatest dark days in Nigeria history

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?

A Coup that was masterminded, orchestrated and executed by key heartless people like ; Chukuwama Nzeogwu, Anuforo,Onwuatuegwu, Emmanuel Efeajuna, Humphrey Chukwuma, Don Okafor from one tribe and One ethnic group only 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.
And the plain truth is that what happened that day jan. 15th 1966, was more of an organised Ethnic cleans!ng, a tr!bal war not just a coup.

Because after all this, Umunnakwe Aguyi-Irons! (the head of state then) from same tribe, did nothing in bringing this people to justice.

Goodlady:

Egbami, when did I insult you?

lhordspy:


You havent insulted me or anyone. But i know it will surely start again. I know you so well.

I just hope it doesnt. How are you doing by the way. Good to see you are engaging more in political discussions now. I hate romance section.

Goodlady:

I m fine sir. My work made me love politics sha. But it's too dangerous in Nigeria.
Romance section is cool just that there are numerous male kids there now that made the place look rough!

"My work made me love politics" ; I have seen you use that sentence alot. What do you do?

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?

TheGoodJoe:


Nzeogwu did the crime. Nzeogwu is not igbos.

Despite the Northern insecurities, no one has tagged the whole North as bandits.

How can a whole ethnic group answer for one man's crime.

Alpharey:


Look at how " beautiful" your country is since you have been ruling. Let the suffering continue. Thank God the suffering knows no ethnic group from the other. It is survival of the fittest. Regardless of your tribe.

flokii:


If Yorubas hate Igbos as you say.. believe me, the Igbos would have long gone extinct.

ALL the successful Igbos you see today cut their teeth from Yoruba land, some born and bred in the west, grew up among Yorubas, enjoyed Awo's free education like every other Yoruba child and they never lacked in anyway.

Even after the civil war, Yorubas returned all Igbo properties and the rent paid by those who sublet their properties out.

Can same be said about Igbos who are so clannish and unwelcoming to other tribes in Nigeria?

Sensible people know that Yorubaland is the land where everyone gets equal treatment and equal chance to become something in life. In Unilag, UI, OAU and all the schools in South West you have Igbos and other tribes in their hundreds and thousands living life freely, nobody is imposing lockdown or inciting people to go and attack them on live radio.

So tell me how Yorubas are the ones hating.. Omuti Obiano, Okonjo Iweala and most prominent Igbos today lived and schooled in Yorubaland.

hartson:
lol,I have downloaded refugee application forms of key countries so I am fully prepared to japa under refugee route
So any huhuhu on,before or after election I don japa sharp sharp

Goodlady:

Egbami, when did I insult you?

that's why we ate your God like suya..smoke his bolls out.

hahahahahahaha...weaklings

Goodlady:

I think I need to go n explain why I did that.
I feel the name is making me appear like a bad girl. So yesterday morning. I just played with the deactivation bottom n I changed it.

Pityoobi:
I laugh when you all tried to deny the igboness of Patrick Chukwuma Nzeogwu. So what you are all trying to say now is that Anioma people are not Igbo, people that speak variant of Igbos and are referred to as sub group of Igbos...keep on denying your people because of the lies you intend to tell.

Kaduna's greedy actions directly and indirectly led to the civil war. The killing of the northern Oligarch by the Igboitic movement of Nzeogwu gave rise to the killings of the Igbos in the North.

Initially there have been history of serious acrimony between the Igbos and the Northerners over Igbo trying to dominate trade and government...like they are trying to do in Lagos right now, only the Yorubas are more superior in putting them in proper check.

Even though the unrest started during the time of Aguyi Ironsi, a counter coup that led to the murder of Aguyi Ironsi and other Igbo officers aggravated everything. This was the key ingredients needed by Ojokwu to begin his own personal agenda as the North boiled over with their perceived control of government after the coup with enough impetus to attack the Igbos.

The federal government led by the north was complacent because they actually wanted to give their people a breather from the choking effects the Igbos have had on them over the years. Remember the government of Tafewa Balewa was formed by aligning with Nnamdi Azikwe against the Yorubas and the Igbos finally betrayed them by killing their leaders and sparing theirs.

Igbos have the nack to annoy their host by unnecessary show of dominance. Like telling the Yorubas that Lagos is no mans land, I just this will not spill over some day. We are witnessing mass deportation of Igbos from Dubai, India and SA for reasons similar to this. Strange enough, Igbos do not experience this problem at home.

Nzeogwu was a friend of Ojukwu and fought on the side of the Biafrans, in fact he was killed in action during the civil war. It was Ojukwu that released from prison after Aguyi Ironsi sentenced him to a kind of protected custody in Aba prison.

When the Igbos want to start their own narrations, they will begin by claiming the killings was the major reason for starting Biafra, but won't say anything about the actions and activities that provoked the killings. Declaring Biafra was not the major reason to stop the carnage but working on tasking the Federal government to stop the killing decisively. Instead Ojukwu was looking for the control of the region?

tctrills:


Lol, the game here is to look for any Igbo man that has ever done something wrong and blame it on the entire tribe. That's interesting. And somehow, this stupidity is because of Peter Obi. Last year, you did not even remember January 15 but now, it's more important than Christmas. so 7 Igbo men now make up a whole race? Very funny. Awolowo was a Yoruba leader with millions of followers. These men were unknown before the coup.

Again, your claim that January 15 1966 was one of the darkest day in our history is false. We are living in the darkest times in our history. January 15 1966 is broad daylight compare to any day for the last 8 years. We have become the poverty capital of the world. We are the headquarters of 2 out of the top 10 terrorist groups in the world. Kidnapping is an everyday thing.
Don't also forget that there have been several coups after 1966. Your present president is a dirty coupist who destroyed democratic rule yet millions voted for him and no one is holding his tribe responsible for his actions.
To hold Igbos responsible for the actions of 7 men almost 60 years ago shows that you are just a smelly dirty tribalist.

TheGoodJoe:


I tire for you. When did I try to deny the igboness of Nzeogwu. Stick to facts.

It is foolish putting the attack by Nzeogwu on the whole Igbos people. It is rubbish and stupidity.

That is like crucifying a whole family because a child is a criminal. Or burning a whole village because a person there is a kidnapper.

It does not concern the Igbos people. It is Nzeogwu that committed the act. The other soldiers that participated in it did it on their own will. They did not call or ask Igbo people.

Leave Igbos out of it and face the actors.

YeeboMuslim:

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

Until you people start leaving your emotions asides and start believing the truth that the igbo men who were involved wasnt just on a military coup mission. It was more of an ethnic cleansing.

I mean what do you call a coup where the Highest ranking Southwest and North military official were the first to be eleiminated?

Tell me...

Here we go with the emotional victimisation card. What are you even implying? That we should sweep our history under the carpet so as not to hurt igbos feelings? I dont really get you.

The only way what happen 53years ago can be recounted as history is to tell the story the way it is, irrespective of whoever or whatever tribe was involved.
