1966 Coup...is It Truelly An Igbo Thing ? by tonychristopher: 9:55am On Jan 18, 2016 |
Now take a look at the list of the major participants in ’66 coup plotters and render your own judgement: 1. Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu(Delta 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(Esean) 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). So, to an unbiased observer, what evidence can one provide to show that Igbos actually carried out the coup in order to exterminate other tribes and take over the country? It is very easy to sell falsehood, but it is very difficult to provide facts to buttress your claims. It is now clear even to a suckling, that the imperialist genocide is crammed up this murderous lies against the Igbos to find reasons to perpetually keep them under hate. One even wonders why the Nigerian state and perpetrators of the gruesome genocide have been preventing the proper documentation of that episode for the benefits of her posterity. 2 Likes |

Can one tribe honestly take over a country as big and massive as Nigeria? I dont think we need to read or remind ourselves of these things now that the country is shaky. We need to occupy our minds with ideas of how to solve the problems we find ourselves in and the solution lies and begins with you. |

It was an NCNC coup. But the NCNC was also a proxy for Igbo interests. Hence... |

So Kaduna Nzeogwu is from south south, and only one person from the list is from southeast in the person of Ifeajuna, yet the called it Igbo coup. It's high time we face truth and stop being afraid of the IGBOS as if IGBOS if allowed will outshine every other tribe. Amadu Bello even said in an interview in 1958 that if you put an Igbo man in a labouring camp, before one year, He will want to be the hit man of the camp. My question is, are other Nigerians envying, hating and complaining about the IGBO man because he is more gifted or what....? |
