Genocidal blood thirsty Igbo maniacs brought Nigeria to the very sorry state of mistrust and mutual hatred we are in now.

AminuRano87:
yes Ironsi Was just pretending.
He is likely aware of the coup.

chinedu234:
there is an account by Frederick Forsyth. These accounts and others will actually make us have better views of what transpired in the sixties.

Aigbofa:


Yours is the Biafran version of course. The Biafrans led by Banjo were brutally defeated at Ore, that is the true version. The mid west was already in the hand of the Biafrans and the main road to Lagos was not defended? I bet uncle Uche told you this story.

logica:
Hahahaha. Frederick Forsythe? Ojukwu's close friend?

Aigbofa:


Stop lying, you even suck at it.

people still visit their village in 2017 ? you better upgrade your mindset. nobody cares about village. the city is where its at.

Qelvin:

Pick up the book called "the Biafran story" by Frederick Forsyth a British journalist who covered the events of the war and read dude, I would rather take the version of a neutral party serious than any source from the Biafran or Nigerian side, the transparency of truth should never be tainted by ethnic sentiments, Biafran troops were not brutally defeated at Ore, the Federal garrison defending Ore was routed, Ore and Okitipupa were firmly in Biafran hands on August 8, 1967, the ofusu bridge had to be blown by retreating Nigerian troops to halt rapid Biafran advance while the main vanguard force of Biafran troops were HALTED by Banjo himself at Ore..countless courses from books written by foreign journalist even confirmed this report! Another book worth reading is the "Brothers war" by John De St Jorre...another journalist who covered the war from both sides, that has to be the most neutral version of the war as it spelled in black and white the true events of the Nigerian civil war.

I think it is really stupid for anyobe to say that what a few Igbo officers did on the 15th of July 1966 represents the entire Igbo nation. Where these officers acting on behalf of the Igbo nation? So why call it an Igbo coup? What ethnic group were Major Ademoyega, Captain Adeleke and Lt Oyewole who all participated in the coup? I will never support a coup plotter but people should stop distorting issues. It was not an Igbo coup because the the coupists had no mandate from the Igbo nation to conduct any coup.

malton:


One or two Yoruba men being among the mutineers doesn't make it any less an Igbo coup. Those guys were Yoruba only by name. They were Igbo at heart, through association. People like that can kill their kith and kin just to further their associates' cause.

It was a coup plotted and orchestrated by your progenitors for their own selfish gains.

Isn't it funny that a tribe which had army officers that had advanced so far in ranks could still claim that she was being marginalized?

Till date, they still carry that victim mentality on their heads like galla.

What I find most funny is that you people often turn history on its head and label the Yorubas 'treacherous backstabbers'... If what transpired as narrated above isn't treachery, then I wonder what is.

Aigbofa:


Frederick Forsyth was a Biafran sympathizer and a very good fiction writer. He wrote "the day of the jackal" His Biafran account was probably another fiction too.

Qelvin:

Like I said...I'll take the fictional account of him over any Nigerian or even Biafran version, and I could interest you on so many more books that confirmed the Midwest account from even pro Nigerian sides if you want, I've spent a good part of my youth reading vastly on the Nigerian civil war.

laudate:


I heard about this, too! Please can you provide the name of the book where it was documented? Thanks.

Ugomba:
using a fake internet picture of a black american can't erase ur ugly yoruba face.

The full story of major Okafors corruption is well documented in the above link.

I will take the account of people who were actually there.

" MainMan7: On Youtube, Facebook, etc, and other social media, I've noticed an all-out igbo-led ruthless satanic character assassination, campaign of calumny and nefarious defamation of the Persons of great Yoruba Men of GOD. Unfortunately, some Yorubas that can't see beyond their nose have been brain-washed to join in bringing down the people that have struggled so hard to build Yoruba names and make Yorubas proud and honoured world-wide.
Sad souls called igbos are just too senselessly greedy. They become Nigerian economic Power by kleptomaniacally raking in our Monies in Millions by importing substandard goods to our Yoruba Lands and selling them to us, yet we don't complain or envy their becoming dominant economically. They are the very ones that sells fake roofing sheets to us and still shamelessly turn around to call us brown-roof republic; obviously igbos conscience is monumentally deader than dead. Only satanically directionless shallow-minded igbo being could wish evil and downfall for a so peaceful and humble man like Adeboye. I wonder why Yorubas are saving face in the face of this igbo-led ruthless satanic character assassination, campaign of calumny and nefarious defamation of the Persons of these great Yoruba Men of GOD.
Everybody cannot be traders, while they become filth rich short-changing us selling sustandard goods to us. Yorubas, as the most specially created Spiritual Beings focus on spiritual things and now that it's financially rewarding, the igbos suddenly started suffering chronic insomnia as a result of this GOD-given Yorubas Greatness. Whatever satanically shallow-minded igbos can't have, they'll try to ensure Yorubas don't have it. They are hell-bent on removing every iota of Glory remaining on the Yorubas, the only position GOD place us as the 1st currently in Nigeria, Africa and the World is the Church. I bet my left ball, if igbo pastors these successful ones, all the derogatory evil things being spread
against these wonderful men would never be. Thunder, Lightening and Fire of GOD that called these wonderful Men of GOD shall shatter u evil-
minded igbos to irredeemable pieces!!! Sad souls called igbos shall NEVER find Peace! Ashe wa!!! Ashe o!
The satanic igbos' hatred to see any other Tribe succeed or become great and their nefarious insatiable avaricious desire to hijack whatever belongs to others came to fore right from the 2nd Republic. Despite the fact that igbos headed the largest % of the Topmost political offices and Ministerial positions during the era, they still aimed to totally enslave Nigeria by becoming the Number 1 citizen. This igbo's satanic rapacity for wealth and position made them to mastermind the Very 1st bloodshed Coup (15 January, 1966) ever in Nigeria during which no single igbo died. Hausas quickly used the only language that igbos understand to earn back their respect from the ever myopically senseless igbos, putting them into where greedy people belong by cutting them to size with the help of Great Yorubas. The ever accommodating Yorubas would not get their well-deserved respect from the senseless igbos untill they apply the Hausa treatment on them."
