It was because Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe (president), Author orizu ( Leader of the parliament - our equiv. of senate president), Michael Okpara, Aguiyi Ironsi and others were Saints cleaner than angels.

Those who believe other Nigerians are fools still want us to believe it was a coup for a better Nigeria. That's why the corrupt leaders from other regions were killed.

Some of you idiots probably don't even know that out of the 5 majors that masterminded the January 1966 coup, one was Yoruba and even the leader of the coup Kaduna Nzeogwu was more of a Northerner than Midwestern Igbo, the guy was born, raised and trained in the North, spoke more Hausa than Igbo and had no connection to the birthplace of his parents in Okpanam, present day Delta state.

Secondly another fact idiots here don't know is that there were more Northern soldiers who were under the command of Nzeogwu when he went to marched to the residences of Sir Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa the night of that fateful coup, there are various documented articles written about this available to read on the internet as well. If this Northern soldiers were unwilling to participate in the coup against their Sardauna and Balewa, they would have easily resisted and simply even turned their guns on Nzeogwu, but they marched with him and participated in all the military exercises and actions.

Lastly soldiers from various ethnic groups participated in that coup; please look at this list of the participants in that coup and tell yourselves the truth if it was dominated by Igbos? Nigeria is truly a shit-hole, that's why we don't teach history in our school curriculum.

1. Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu(Igbo)
2. Major Adewale Ademoyega (Yoruba) author of "Why we struck"
3. Capt. G. Adeleke(Yoruba)
4. Maj. Ifeajuna(Igbo)
5. Lt. Fola Oyewole(Yoruba) author of "The reluctant rebel"
6. Lt. R. Egbiko(Esan)
7. Lt. Tijani Katsina(Hausa/Fulani)
8. Lt. O. Olafemiyan(Yoruba)
9. Capt. Gibson Jalo(Bali)
10. Capt. Swanton(Middle Belt)
11. Lt. Hope Harris Eghagha (Urhobo)
12. Lt. Dag Warribor(Ijaw)
13. 2nd Lt. Saleh Dambo(Hausa)
14. 2nd Lt. John Atom Kpera (Tiv)

Abeg for those that have sense, can you explain how the Bleep this list is Igbo dominated?

Earthstorms:


Why do I have this strong urge to yab you?

Was okotie eboh, the then finance minister huasa or Yoruba?

You just create a thread for ethnic bashing

The question is ,


WHY THERE WAS NO IGBO LEADER KILLED IN THE COUP?

garykoeman:
The question of patriotism, I’ll show here that the leaders were rather selfish. Of course one would concede that many of our leaders gave their lives for the country: Akintola, the premier of Western Nigeria, Sardauna, premier of Northern Nigeria, Sir Tafawa Balewa and a few others.

However, a letter from Nnamdi Azikiwe, who was in London during the first military coup of 1966, to Aguiyi Ironsi, the first military head of state, left an impression in a young Nigerian like me that even at the top, there were individuals who didn’t care much for the country. “Since this is a Herculean task which must be undertaken by all of us who are interested in the peace and stability of our Federal Republic,” Azikiwe wrote in the letter to Major-General Aguiyi-Ironsi, “I now inform you of my desire to return home immediately in order to be in position to discharge any duty, constitutional or otherwise, in which my services may be required.”

Constitutional or otherwise! You may note that while Zik scribbled his letter in England, two premiers were already killed. His prime minister was still missing, yet there was nowhere in the letter where he mentioned them. But he wanted a role for himself – constitutional or otherwise! Now take a deep breath and ponder that. It’s my opinion that this puts a question mark on Zik’s patriotic credentials.

Volksfuhrer:


Okotie-Eboh was deemed a traitor, he was too close to Balewa.

Belafonte:

Just musing here tbh. Anybody with answers that can do justice to my curiosity should please come to my aid. Thanks

aswani:


I don't know how other Igbo senior Officers and Politicians escaped the cull but I know one of the coup plotters was said to have leaked the coup plot to Zik. I won't repeat the name of the person but it is out there for those interested.

It was not a good look at all, after the dust had settled, that majority of the coup plotters were from the same tribe that was left practically unscathed by the deaths that cut across even minority tribes.

The irony was Ojukwu himself was one of those that scrambled to restore Order and prevented the coup plotters from getting hold of Army ammunitions in Kano or whatever Northern city he was based.

He effectively kept the country together, fast forward some months post reprisal killings and he "had to" lead the secession attempt.

What a mess caused by one solitary person that wasn't detribalised enough to keep his mouth shut.

raumdeuter:


4 Premiers in Nigeria. 2 Ibos 2 non Ibos

The 2 non Ibos were killed the 2 Ibos spared

Was it this solitary person who spared Dennis Osadebey and Michael Okpara too

sharpsecret:
In your rubbish write up you said the coup plotters was from a particular region and looking at that list Yoruba made up that list...so I am wandering why they killed their own leaders

orion7:
The people the compost killed where all useless fools. Simple. Another set are in power now. If they get what they deserve I won’t flinch.


Yoruba people are the problem of Nigeria. Due to thier cunning, cowardly attitude. Northeren Nigeria messed this country up because of them


Ibb handed over to shonekon because the northern men knew that they can chase him out like a goat in the barn and nothing will happens. And that was what abacha did


If an Igbo man was in shonekons place you literally have to kill him before you take power
Bunch of cowardly spineless fools

Be careful of you of whom you call your friend. Even, Kaduna Nzeogwu was very close to Sir Ahmadu Bello.

Is that so Mr. Cityman?
