In January 1966, an Igbo man called Chukwuma Nzeogwu led a coup which unfortunately killed 20 people. Today, he is vilified, his coup has been given ethnic appellation 'Igbo coup', some say his coup targeted others besides Igbos 6 months after Major Nzeogwu's coup, Lt Colonel Murtala Mohammed, a Hausa man from Kano, led a coup that killed over 300 people, all Southern Nigerians, mainly Igbo, not one single Northern casualty. Today, Murtala Mohammed is one of the most honoured Nigerians that ever lived. He has buildings, landmarks, Airports, Highways, named after him. He was even given the special privilege of being the face of the 20 Naira note. A coup plotter, genocidal killer and sociopath like Murtala Mohammed was honoured with a place on your national currency just because he is a Northerner Below are some of the people, the over 300 people killed by Murtala Mohammed on 29th July 1966. I would have posted more if not for bad picture quality. No 1 on the list is Aguiyi Ironsi Source: "Tragedy Without Heroes" by Brigadier Hillary Njoku 6 Likes 1 Share

I thought Theophilus danjuma was the one that lead it ? Anyways,who gives a f*ck . A counter-coup was made against coupists and their sympathizers whom are the genesis of much of the issues we are facing as a nation. Why're you acting like it was some democracy that was overthrown If anything, he's a hero 6 Likes 1 Share |

This is Nigeria for you. An evil country full of wickedness. Isn't it clear why she has been decaying ever since? They hide the truth and project falsehood which promotes their own narrative. See how bloody Murtala Mohammed's coup was but they don't teach it. B.S Dimka would get fed up with Murtala and made sure to kill him because he knew the vampire that was Murtala. Till date, no one is asking why Dimka killed Murtala. Murtala was in charge of the army that marched through Benin to Onitsha. A detachment of his men committed the genocide at Asaba. For these reasons, he became the most honoured of all Nigerian military men of all time. He's the first and only military man to have his image on the Nigerian currency. The most important and busiest airport in Lagos was named after him. Major roads in many cities including Gowon's state capital were named after him. 3 Likes |

AbujaCitiBlog: Murtala was served wella by one of his former foot soldiers Dimka.............maga had half his head blown out by a drunken Dimka( himself a fellow july 29 1966 coupists}. Morale of the story , do not shed innocent blood especially when it is not necessary. Funny most of the actors who murdered their victims ..met the same violent end! Nzeogwu, ifeajuna,Murtala,ibrahim Taiwo, Bisalla,etc. |

gidgiddy: You called the killing of 20 high profile men unfortunate? You sound like it was a mistake and not intentional..the Igbo coup was the precedence of the one you comparing it with,the blueprint of all coups hence its on record and regretably so, is the ONLY reason till date an IGBO man will perhaps never see the presidency. It will shock you to know that until that coup, the Igbos dominated the entire forces in Nigeria, there was no marginalization of any kind, but after that coup, the hausas had to take precaution and till date they dominate the entire armed forces. We should not compare evil,it was an Igbo coup, and from there your agitation for Biafra started which led to the death of over 3m IGBOS, the truth is we cant trust you the Igbos with the leadership of this fragile country. 4 Likes |

Curious345:obi gini? Main reason northerners oppose Igbo presidency is because of fear of vegeance of these killings if you don't know. This is not the period to talk about this. I told you SE never understood politics , they are learners |

Igbos felt smart and Hausa treated their stupidity with the same aggression. So next time, before you pick a fight, you use your senses. By the way ... all these articles denying 1966 coup is an Igbo coup will NEVER change Hausa mind. Igbos have 2 Masters - Hausa and Yoruba. Yorubas are foolishly liberal and fair. Hausa are ruthless and merciless. Yet Igbos have already started openly antagonising their gentle Masters. If una no get independence till year 7070, blame unaselves |

TheChameleon: Hope you are aware that Britain, Russia, Saudi, Egypt and France will not be there to help Nigeria again, because they all regretted supporting Nigeria during the civil war. You saw how Bauchi governor was supporting the influx of FULA boys from the Gambia, this is because help will not come from the West this time. Food blockade is not possible anymore because ambazonia has taken over southern Cameron. Pray for peace over the nation and stop bragging |
