EmeeNaka: IIGB0S murdered peace when they carried out the brutal ethnic cleansing in the name of January 1966 coup by wiping out the leaders of other regions while protecting their own fellow IIGB0 leaders. Major Kaduna Nzougwu was brought up by Ahmadu Bello himself and had been northernised by Ahmadu Bello only for the animal to turn around and murder his benefactor in cold blood. Nzougwu even went as far as killing other family members of Ahmadu Bello in his killing madness. |

Softmirror: Bro when you want to lie and use old fonts to print documents to spread lies do it with sense. Victor Banjo never participated in the Jan 66 coup he was jailed for a different offence. Even the list you provided shows clearly that other tribes participated in that coup. Your statement is hollow at best dude. 2 Likes |

Irony1: Who gave Zik the info that made him run? Was it not Ozumba who handed over to Ironsi? Was Ironsi not paying the coup plotters salaries in prison and even wanted to promote them? Start your education from here Reno Omokri @renoomokri Amazingly Igbo Ministers Wanted Mbadiwe To Takeover After Ifeajuna Murdered Balewa After the coup failed, the remaining cabinet members asked the British for military assistance, but the then British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Sir Francis Cumming-Bruce, said that such a request would have to come from either the Prime Minister or an acting Prime Minister. At that, there was a quarrel between the Northern Peoples Congress Ministers who felt that as senior members of the coalition, their candidate, Zanar Dipcharima, the Minister of Transport, should be sworn in as the acting Prime Minister. However, the NCNC Ministers felt Ozumba Mbadiwe, a man who had been indicted for corruption, should be the interim Prime Minister after a coup that was ostensibly meant to rid the nation of corruption. Talk about corruption fighting back! That the NCNC ministers were lobbying to have an Igbo replace Balewa after a coup where Igbos killed Balewa and other top civilian and military leaders is just stunning! As a result of this stalemate, they invited the Attorney General of the Federation, Taslim Elias, who said the Constitution was on the side of the NPC. From there, the rump of the cabinet proceeded to the acting President, Nwafor Orizu, to swear in Dipcharima. But Orizu demurred. And while the ministers waited, Major General Ironsi came to meet with Orizu. The optics appeared to be lost on the two men. Either that, or they were indifferent to it. Two Igbos meeting to the exclusion of other top government officials from other ethnicities, under the very charged and sensitive circumstances at that time. After that meeting, Nwafor Orizu made a national broadcast announcing that the cabinet had 'voluntarily' agreed to hand over to the military headed by Ironsi, an Igbo general. To the NPC ministers, it was just too neat. But they could not voice out their opinions seeing as they had no cover. There is controversy on whether the cabinet actually agreed to do that. The NPC ministers have one version, while the NCNC ministers have another version. What we know for a fact is that the next day, January 17, 1966, Major General Aguiyi-Ironsi announced the formation of the Supreme Military Council and the end of the First Republic. Aguiyi-Ironsi's emergence as Military Head of State caused restiveness in the Army, as he was Igbo, and the January 15, 1966 coup plotters were also mostly Igbos. Northern military officers felt it was too tidy to be a coincidence. The core Northern officers were pacified to an extent after Major General Aguiyi-Ironsi promised them he would try the January 15, 1966 coup plotters. Unfortunately, Aguiyi-Ironsi did not try them. Maybe he planned to do so later on, but up until July, he had not. Then word got out that those arrested, including the most brutal of them, Major Chris Anuforo, were still receiving salaries in prison and, worse, were scheduled to be promoted. That riled the Northern officers. Additionally, Igbos in the North were accused of mocking the late Sardauna, Ahmadu Bello. Some people had printed almanacks of his face on a goat's body. Others had made posters of Major Nzeogwu as Angel Michael, with his sword drawn and his leg on the head of satan, who was depicted as the Sardauna. To add salt to injury, a highlife musician named Celestine Ukwu released a song in Igbo titled Ewu Ne Ba Akwa, meaning ‘the goat is crying’, which Northerners felt was mocking the Sardauna. According to insiders, the chief reason for the coup was the Unification of Assets Decree Number 34, promulgated on May 24, 1966, by then Head of State, Major General Johnson Umunnakwe Aguiyi-Ironsi, which seized all the assets and powers of the regions and domiciled them in the Supreme Military Council headed by him, and perceived by Northerners as being dominated by Igbo officers. |

Wickedfacts: You are not even a sensible person when it comes to spreading lies and twisting facts. People said Zik got a tip off, which till today has not been proven at all. Again on the issue of them receiving salaries, sometimes you people don't have sense. Have they been formally dismissed from the army? No, have they been formally courtmartialled? No they were held in detention not formally charged and not formally dismissed or suspended without pay, based on that there's no reason to withhold their salaries, even the army law is clear on that. Even in civilian matters if a staff of let's say a bank is implicated in a fraud case, if he has not been suspended or sacked he is still entitled to his salary even if he is police detention. On the Celestine Ukwu song Ewu Na e be akwa. The song was released in the 50s it was never composed to mock anyone goat is crying was mischievously twisted to rile up the northerners. Again the so called magazine that drew that Nzeogwu's pic as angel Michael was called Drumline magazine the person who drew that cartoon was known as Cos Idapo and was later identified as a Yoruba man. Lastly Ironsi's decree he never seized any assets, he only consolidated the civil service to the center. The governors still had control over regions. He didn't even touch the revenue sharing formula, he kept it as is. Please stop all this twisting of facts and spewing lies. 1 Like |

Softmirror: We will keep destroying the false and dummiCity of the worthless religion islam. Since it is like this, why is that you muslims especially the yorubastic extract of them, Why do you morons deny The satanic VerSes your false prophet mohammed was pouring out after worshipping thoSe three female medina goddess? Your worthless was engaging in incest and paedophilia, your nymphomaniac prophet had to ban adoption just so that he can taste the puna of his daughter in law, he was a slowpoke to ever have an erection for a 6 year old? Now, back to the coup matter? I know you will run as you, your belief and everything you survive on are all based on lies. It is often said that lies told over and over again without being countered, tends to come to be held as true. But as always, truth always catches up with it. For over 50 years, some section of Nigerians have made it a point of duty to reinforce the narrative that the 1966 coup was an Igbo coup because it was led by Kaduna Nzeogwu, an Igbo man. Even though this same people claim that Nzeogwu’s village and town is not Igboland, and that the rest of Nzeogwu’s kinsmen are not Igbos; a narrative they have vigorously and fiercely pursued and have reinforced for decades. But with their monopoly on the media now beginning to wane due to the advent of Social Media, their control of narrative of events, which they have often distorted to suit their primordial biases, is fading , and a more balanced narrative that captures the wholistic happenings of what transpired is now being told. So, in regards to the 1966 coup which these elements have hitherto painted as an Igbo coup, continually giving only the names of the 7 Igbo officers who participated in the ill fated coup while leaving out other officers from other tribes who equally participated actively in the coup. So, find here the full list of the coup plotters and their tribes:- 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). There you have it. But I’m sure that apart from Nzeogwu and Ifeajuna, you probably never heard of the names of the other guys and the question is why? And it is because some elements deliberately chose to tell a one sided story to further their ill agenda against a particular tribe and people; and after over 50 years the war ended, this same people are still hellbent on selling this same old and erroneous and fallacious narrative for the same primordial agenda. So, I ask you, having seen the full list of the coup plotters, do you still think it was an Igbo coup? And if your answer to the above question is “Yes”. Then tell us why Murtala Muhammed and Buhari coups were not Fulani coups, Tell us why Buka Suka Dimka coup was not a Plateau coup, Tell us why IBB coup was not an Hausa coup, Tell us why Gideon Orkar’s coup was not a Tiv coup, Tell us why Abacha coup was not a Kanuri coup, And only the one led by Nzeogwu was given that ethnic label and reinforced till today? 3 Likes

Irony1: Only one Igbo was killed out of the 22 victims of the brutal and bloody ethnic cleansing of the January 1966 coup. 80% of the brutal coup plotters were Igbos. Major Ademoyega and Lt. Fola were just added to try to make the coup a national face. Besides, both Major Ademoyega and Lt. Fola were not in the inner circle of coup plotters and were not even privy to the details of the coup. IIGB0S will forever pay for the evil and brutal ethnic cleansing of the January 1966 coup |
Re: Meet Malam Umaru Altine; The First Elected Mayor Of Enugu by Irony1: 5:26am On Feb 06 |
numericalguy: Whether it is one that was killed, it is nullifies the thought that no igbo was killed. Saying that Major Ademoyega was not in the inner circle of the coup is the biggest lie ever told because you are trying to spin the igbo coup theory desperately. Haaa fear God oooo, the same Ademoyega defended his action and the actions of the 4 other majors who were the main planners of the coup in his book "Why we struck" in fact the coup was the brain child of both Ifeajuna and Ademoyega according to his book. Note again that even Fola Oyewole defended his actions in the coup in his book" the reluctant rebel" So bros this your lies are stale, it only shows how stupid you are repeating the same thing over and over again while expecting different results. Now this Jan 66 igbo coup lie from you is becoming old fashioned and makes no sense again. 1 Like |

Fola never knew about the evil coup even until the 14th of January 1966. Even Major Ademoyega was never an inner circle of the coup. The evil blood thirsty IIGB0S coup plotter needed a couple of Yorubas to make their evil plan have a national outlook which was why they added Ademoyega and Fola and they were both not in the centre of the coup. I was not one of the master planners of the coup. It will interest you to know that by half past eleven on the night of January 14th, 1966, I had no clue about the coup. No clue whatsoever. -- Lt.

numericalguy: Oga you are using PM News that spreads lies. The same Fola defended the action of the coup. You are cleverly trying to dodge Ademoyega that clearly stated that he conceived the idea of the coup with Ifeajuna, and they were the ones recruiting people for that coup. Bros i think it is you that Thunder should strike your lying mouth here. No matter how you try to rationalize the involvement of Fola and Ademoyega it is still clear that they defended their roles and involvement in the coup. I dare you to deny that Ademoyega didn't write a book "why we struck" to defend the motives of Jan 66 coup. |

Irony1: Irony1: See how you are just disgracing your generation online with your bloody and stupid lies. You claimed Fola was part of your Igbo coup in a book you have never read. Same book that Fola used to deny being a member of the coup. Lt. Fola had no clue there was a coup until 11:30pm of 14th January, 1966 yet Kporu mirri addicts like to paint a picture of him being a master mind of the coup. Even Ademoyega was not a ring leader as he just went with the flow and he was added to make the evil ethnic cleansing coup have a national face. As a northerner, we have a saying for IIGB0S and it goes like this: If you tell an IIGB0 man that you would give him a 100 million naira if he would not lie in a day. I can guarantee you that he would choose to tell a lie and lose the 100 million naira even if it is a silly lie Lying is like the air they breath in the SE The only thing IIGB0S love more than lying is eating of H U M A N meat.
