So you know the aim of the coup?

What was operation wetie n it's relationship to the coup sir

DMerciful:
.
Saying its an Igbo coup holds the entire Igbos responsible. This would have been the case if they were voted for and given mandate.

Why did Ironsi, an Igbo man move the Igbo Coup splitters to Imo in the Eastern Region and refuse to try them for 6 good months?

You keep getting stuck in the past

OkayDaddy:


When the Midwest minorities pushed for Secession, Igbos in the Eastern Regional government led by that cowardly Ojukwu killed them and quelled their agitation.

You clearly have no point. No Hausa-Fulani was expelled

pquaver:


Do U Not AS igbos in Support of ipob and esn man punish the whole Hausa fulani in the north for the crimes of certain rogue herdsmen downsouth? When u demanded all Hausa fulani should leave igboland?

Practice what u preach oga

Because Ironsi is Igbos means he has Igbos mandate? Did anybody voted for Ironsi?

I don't and defend ironsi.. But he was killed in a coup too should that not be the end?

See this hypocrite.
If secession is past, why are you crying for it today?

You can kill SS people because you were in a position of power but you now want them to support your quest for the very same thing you killed them for.

Una no get shame for that your side.

It was demanded.. some were even killed..or have U forgotten the Woman and her children shot dead?

Because the Point doesn't favor u...oga practice what u preach Stop being a hypocrite

Who demanded it? Who shoot the woman and her children? Same UGM killing Igbos too!

You really have no point

pquaver:

End of what?

Okay, if it was the end, why should Ojukwu declare secession, the very same thing he killed Midwest people for when Adaka Boro declared secession?

The country is not working for anybody.

We can dissolve this union to save lives

No, it is Fulani and Ibibio mandate he has.

You killed elected leaders from other regions, spared your own leaders and then, refused to punish those who killed leaders from other regions. You're asking if he has mandate.

You see ehn, you people from that your side are shameless people. The more you talk about this, the more your folly and hypocrisy becomes apparent.

Nnamdi Kanu campaigned for Jonathan, you didn't know it wasn't working then.

You campaigned for Peter Obi, you didn't know it wasn't working then.

Now that you've lost out, you want secession. The same secession you denied Midwest people of.

So Biafra agitation started today?

Talk like an educated person. Whose mandate does Ironsi have? Who voted for him? Who voted for Nzeogwu?

The people who Northerners, Mid-westerners and Westerners voted for, Nzeogwu killed them and Ironsi protected Nzeogwu and in fact, gave him succour in Igboland.
You are here asking foolish questions.

You people are hypocrites and karma is showing you shege.

DMerciful:
So Biafra agitation started today?

Started when you tried to suppress other Nigerians by killing their leaders and installing your kinsman and you failed.

There was no Biafra mentioned until the counter coup that removed Ironsi. Ogundipe was smart enough to decline and Gowon took over.

That's when you saw that your plans were scattered and you wanted to run away as cowards.

You have no point. Ironsi and Nzeogwu acted on their own.

You see how hypocritical you are?

Anytime we talk of Biafra restoration, you'll say we should ask our elected officials in national assembly to move a motion for it. But you want to hold us accountable for actions of unelected people who died long before we were born

Yes, you will be held accountable for the foolishness of your ancestors. After all, the name Biafra you are talking about today was brought up by your ancestors, not you.

You agitation for secession will be treated just how you treated Midwest people who were agitating for secession.

Ethnic division mercenaries.

Its like if somebody wants to remove those in power today,he plans to take out those holding raw power.By the time he is done..it will be mostly Yorubas.u know why?because Yorubas are holding sensitive positions...then years later,Yoruba people will say they were after the Yoruba race.

Most officers that were intellectuals that time were yoruba and igbo officers.if they wanted a change of govt..then it will be dominated by igbo and Yoruba officers.

The 1966 July coup - why is it not called a northern coup?The planners and beneficiaries were northern the victims were all igbo and southern officers.

The 1975 coup was mainly north hausa against Dem plateau gowon ..why is is not called an hausa coup?

The 1976 coup was mainly plateau and northern central trying to get power back from the hausa /core north boys...why don't we call it the lantang or north Central coup?

Babangida coup against buhari ..why don't we call it the nupe,hausa against the Fulani boys coup?

59 years later we have people like Reno and the resident division propaganda merchinery set up to drive a narrative against a tribe because they want to retain power in 2027.
It's all about power nothing else .they don't care if Nigeria is on fire..what a shame

DMerciful:
I asked you if the soldiers got mandate from the generality of Igbos, you couldn't answer

where did u ask me that one?

Don't b unfortunate

DMerciful:
There is nothing like collective punishment. The coup plotters were long dead before most Easterners were born. They were soldiers and had zero vote to represent anybody.

Why should people who knew nothing about the military take responsibility for military actions?

Even if we wanted to stop them, we do not have the power. There is absolutely no reason to hold the generality of Igbos accountable for action of few military officers

y don't u collectively condemn them as Igbos then?

When gbenga adeyinka grandson realised he had no support he was easily defeated but when nnamdi kanu n ekpa realised they had support they wax stronger

U want us to believe u Igbos didn't support it but u applauded them after d coup

U can't change history

Look at d label of this bread n how Igbos mocked d north

DMerciful:
So you can punish the Kanuri people for Abacha sins?

You think the reprisals attacks were because of songs? What about the killings of the 40s and 50s of Igbos in the North? You're naive

then y did Igbo civilians sing songs to mock north

U want us to believe the military acted on their own, what about d civilians singing n making bread labels to mock?

pquaver:


I am igbo but e get Somethings WE Do that are provocative..was IT the Military igbos WHO Made Songs and bread to taunt the northerners? Was IT Military igbos WHO gloated with the murder of the sarduana.. If IT was northerners WHO did what happened in 1966 will u Take the Same stand U r talking today? Nna abeg come Off IT..let truth be told..ndigbo Made mistake.. Accept IT..

God bless u

All Igbos needed to do then was agreed they made mistake n they would have become president but just imagine how can a wound heal when d person who did bad is still dragging with u n still claiming victim.

It's annoying, every event during n after d coup pointed that it was well orchestrated by d Igbos n instead of apologizing n moving on they keep dragging feets

One Igbo said it yesterday that we must forgive n forget but I told him d person who made mistake have to realize he made mistake first n apologize then it will b easy to forget n forgive

If Igbos had apologize then or now it would have been an automatic shut up for everyone

DMerciful:
You keep getting stuck in the past

if u apologize for d wrong u did then people will move on

It's an insult for u to slap someone, u didn't apologize n u expect him to relate with u normally

mrvitalis:

I don't and defend ironsi.. But he was killed in a coup too should that not be the end?

he was killed because they way he handled d aftermath of d coup exposed him as d mastermind of d coup

Igbo soldiers killed everyone except Igbos n paved way for him

He became president n instead of trying them immediately, he took them to a prison in imo state n delayed their trial

Igbos composed songs to mock people n make mocking souvenirs n he did nothing n u want us to believe he didn't know about d coup?

We aren't stupid guy

Lazy youths creating stale senile threads all over the place like say those who have governed Nigeria since after the war has made it El derado... Una mumu go soon set when looming famine and hunger go finally damage una little unproductive brains left
