tonychristopher:It was a fatal mistake! If only Nzeogwu & his January boys had killed both Azikiwe & Orizu. The Hausas/Fulanis have wrong almost every tribe in Nigeria with their animalistic character when their brains switch off. The shout about marginalizing the Igbos could v been corrected in a subtle way than the 1966 coup. What vexed me most was that some Yoruba VIPs lost their lives with Balewa & Ahmadu Bello. Shebi the Igbo's said its Hausa/Fulanis thats their enemy. 2 Likes 1 Share |

sukkot: You do not know your history. The reason is because Ojukwu who was to release troops from Abeokuta to carry out the killings in lagos, refused to release them. He argued that he will not take orders from a junior officer (Nzeogu). Ojukwu was the reason the coup had k-leg. 2 Likes |

nkowaputa: Unbelievable! I don't suppose you're opining that the East and its leaders were corrupt-free as at then? Like I opined earlier, the intentions were good but it was poorly executed and as you know ACTIONS are what ppl judge not INTENTIONS, hence, the reason we saw a counter coup. Today, each of those tribes cannot but give a suspicious look to one another whilst harbouring hate. 1 Like |

nkowaputa:and this same treasonous ojukwu is your hero ? it looks like he is the one who brought all the trouble igbos are having today on you. if he had released the men and they had killed the igbo leaders too then you will not be having these problems. so lets see, ojukwu sabotaged nzeogwu which in turn led to angry northerners taking revenge on ndigbo and then this same ojukwu tried to secede from nigeria because of bad igbo treatment when he is the one who caused it in the first place ? ojukwu needs to be exhumed from his grave and flogged 10 Likes |

Yes, we understand exactly how it feels to have one' Brethren, elders, monarchs, committed atrocities. It's terrible, But do we continue warring? 305-1dollar today, just cos we can't keep it together.. If we can't be brothers, truly and genuinely, with trust and openness, the concept of Nigeria can never work, ever. (quote author=ehemwhy post=42000142] My uncle was part of the coup planners that failed to takeover Lagos alongside Ifeajuna . Igbo officerss majorly planned the coup , it suCceded in the north with devastating effect, partly succeded in the west and did not have any effect in the EAST An igbo officer benefited from the failed coup by becomming head of.State If you were a northern military officer how would you feel ? It is on record that Nzeogwu never supported the concept of Biafra , all he wanted was a one Nigeria .[/quote] |

Ugomba:I wonder how many comments here really captured what transpired that fateful day of the said coup which was the remote cause of the genocide cum fratricide war. Nzogwu, in the book why we struck by one of the coupist; major Adegboyega, was portrayed as an unbiased Nigerian, a very disciplined and religious Soldier. He was feared by both his superiors and juniors. He wanted the best for Nigeria. Nobody can based on the recent happenings in Nigeria fault the reason for the coup: 10 percent corruption, nepotism, ethnicity and the likes. Today, those corrupt politicians who were executed in the 1966 military putsch when compared with their successors, will be raised to the alter of sainthood. The aim of the coup was driven by nationalism, but Nzogwu was betrayed by those stationed in the eastern part of the country. Or how does one explain the hosting of an archbishop by Michael okpara; the premier of Eastern region who was one of those penciled down for elimination? Or the sudden trip outside the shore of Nigeria by the then president of Nigeria; Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe? From time immemorial, the igbos have always shot themselves on their feet in attempt to outsmart the rest of the country. Nobody will accept such blood-letting against his own when yours remain safe. Having seen his revolutionary dream crumbled before his very eyes, worst still crushed by a fellow igbo officer in the person of Ojukwu, he had no choice but surrendered to the federal govt. Taken to lagos and locked up. Even when the war broke up, Nzogwu had not publicly supported any side. It was after he was smuggled out of the heavily guarded prison by Ojukwu that he eventually fought for biafra. A sandhurst trained armoured personnel poacher, he was a loner. At the young age of 30 and still single and celibate, Nzogwu was killed by Federal troops in 1967. He was immediately flown to kaduna and given full military honour before interred. Which ever way one looks at it...Nzogwu was a victim of power play that characterize Nigeria as a political entity. There can never be a revolutionary, upright and disciplined like him. 8 Likes 2 Shares |
