My dear countrymen, no citizen should have anything to fear, so long as that citizen is law abiding and if that citizen has religiously obeyed the native laws of the country and those set down in every heart and conscience since 1st October, 1960. www.vanguardngr.com/2016/01/50-yrs-after-january-15-1966-coup-excerpts-of-major-nzeogwus-coup-speech/ Cc Lalasticlala Mynd44 36 Likes 11 Shares

Oh wow! Fp already. Well, this coup partly fueled the tribal hate we see in our society today. I mean, how do you claim to be cleansing the society and execute leaders from a certain part of the society. Even though the intentions were good, it appeared different when it was eventually carried out. 27 Likes 1 Share |

What's the motive of bringing this speech now after so many years. This will not add anything other than arguments and tribal bashing. 12 Likes 1 Share |

How I wish he meant all what he said with all sincerity and unflinching sense of nationalism, but events during and after his broadcast pointed out that the coup was more of a genocide and ethnic cleansing. Thank goodness, the perpetrators and their supporters are still paying the price for their atrocities. 53 Likes 3 Shares |

A Major just like every other, who plotted a coup and toppled the regime of Alhaji Tafewa Balewa.... Anyway, It was one of the Political Development in Nigeria before 1979.. Our constitution development isn't complete without examining the military and its influence.... The federal character Principe, creation of states etc were creations of part of military regimes in our country Nigeria.. But I can't acclaim such rule cos various draconian decrees were promulgated ![]() 1 Like |

PRYCE: Yeah. The speech I know & have read about is actually more detailed than what the OP wrote up there. When interviewed by the bbc reporter in 1966, his "juicy" speech led to the massacre of Igbos residing in northern states; which in turn, led to the biafran war. Nigeria can never be one. 17 Likes 1 Share |

Nzeogwu should shut up! He didn't have the interest of Nigerians at heart. He was only trying to depose the oligarchy then and install his own, which he failed in. The problem with political losers is that they tend to request for the support of the people when they are embarking on their selfish interests. The moment they achieve it, they never remember them again I just pity for the silly people who allow themselves to be used and dumped by these class war participants. The biafrans took the bate placed by Nzeogwu and his own Oligarchy build up which led them to losing 3million innocent souls in a senseless war that could have been avoided. The Ojukwu they died because of abandoned the project and still later came back to contest for the Nigerian Presidency. That shows you that these guys don't give a damn about the people 38 Likes |

If Nzeogwu is still alive, He would have been politically under South South as a Delta Igbo. - He led the coup yet The South East Igbos did not deny him, He ran to them for help. It was part of what triggered the war. - Had it been that the S.E Igbos denied Nzeogwu as being Igbo, it would have been Hausa/Fulani vs Anioma. - Thats What You Call A Brother Standing Firmly by a Brother. .. PROUDLY ANIOMA and DELTA IGBO. 125 Likes 16 Shares |
