Everybody spit on Igbo, everybody! Even the smallest minority in Nigeria make fun of Igbo and mock you. You are the rug underfoot, every ethnic group wipe feet on you.

That is so stupid. How do people think that we are not better together. Whether or not you understand it the bigger the country's land mass, the better chances a country can succeed. The Hausa's have vast land for farming. Igbo's have oil, and the yoruba's have infrastructure and technology. How do you not realize the beautiful things the three cultures can do for the country. Only older folks are stuck with this stupid mentality. The younger Igbo's, yoruba's and Hausa's dont engage in this petty nonsense. We have found a way to live peacefully in Lagos and become productive with the help of everyone. What is wrong with Your generation. If White people can get along with black people in ghettos in the USA. What excuse do you have. Lets stop this ridiculous infighting and and find a way to get rid of our corrupt leaders of every tribe, and move foward.

I saw your update.That is actually the general version;that fanikayode was taken to lagos;even if your earlier version is incorrect,that illiterate specimen was also wrong by saying fani was rescued by an igbo army officer.On another note,it seems everyone who had written a book about the events of that period has been economical with the truth.we will never know everything about that time.

laudate:


It has been published that Fani-Kayode was abducted by Nwobosi's men, and driven to Akintola's house. He escaped death from there, while gun fire was being exchanged by both parties. So how was he rescued or recaptured? In what way did Ademoyega do justice to my questions, please? You are the one who made an assertion, so the onus is on you to prove it. Guy, is it that you did not understand my question, or you are deliberately playing the ostrich? That page from Ademoyega's book did not contain the actual blow-by-blow details of how Fani-Kayode escaped death, and your claim that 'he was rescued by soldiers controlled by an Igbo man?' So can you please provide the url link or source showing the exact details of how Fani-Kayode escaped death on the night of the coup, and the name of the Igbo man who rescued him with soldiers? Still waiting!

Here is an excerpt from another article, on what eventually happened to the late Chief Fani-Kayode:



I do not even want to talk about Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh the late Finance Minister who did NOT resist arrest but was also killed by the coup plotters.

Haba!! You are too harsh! Stop judging every Igbo person by the antics of the clowns on this thread, who like to spread falsehood and misinformation. The chap you are responding to, was raised on a diet of propaganda. Just ignore him.

blues2022:

Niga, if you got the balls, face me directly and stop acting bitchy. Who is raised on a diet of propaganda other than you that derived orgasm in spreading falsehood against Indi'Igbo? On every Igbo thread, you must be there, either to cheer your cohorts up, or throw in your skeletal jabs. I've ignored you for too long, I don't mind loosing my moniker, but I'll make sure you get it dirty right here. Anufia.

It's interesting that some posters here like to say that Anioma Igbos and Onitsha Igbos aren't really Igbo yet when it comes to this coup, their only too happy to claim that the likes of Nzeogwu and Ifeajuna are full-blooded Igbo men. Which one is it?

Typical ipob, always frustrated and throwing insult over nothing. Smh

laudate:


One fact that can never be rewritten, is that during that coup the only soldiers that fired the shots that killed political leaders from other ethnic groups, were Igbo. Fact!

Igboid:
What we know so far from history:

1. Fajuyi mentored and supported Nzeogwu and co coup. He obviously never saw it as an Igbo coup.

2. When the coup failed, Fajuyi still never saw the coup as Igbo coup, he shielded Nzeogwu and co from execution as he pleaded their case before Ironsi.

3. Ademoyega one of the key actors of the coup at no point called the coup Igbo coup, even after it failed

4. The propaganda of "Igbo coup" as propagated by treacherous elements from south west could not stand without first exonerating Fajuyi from the coup, and this they had to do by propounding the Matyr falsehood story for Fajuyi, but we know better.

You just shot your argument in the foot.On one hand you say Fani-Kayode escaped from his captors while Akintola was being shot at, on the other hand you quote Akinjide's account which states that Fani-Kayode was taken from Ibadan to Federal Guards Mess, Ikoyi, Lagos! There he was released by "Loyal Troops". Who was in charge of the loyal troops in Lagos that morning?

Was it not General Ironsi, a confirmed Onye Igbo?
Stop weaving stories you cant defend

You have easily confirmed what Ademoyega said in his book and on the page I uploaded. Like I said you are welcome to your prejudice but your narratives are dropping dead faster than flies in a baygon factory. Just accept you are driven by hate not facts stop stressing yourself

escapefromusa:
Your base you entire argument on Fajuyi . Your logic is as follows:

Since Fajuyi is Yoruba and supported a largely Ibo coup plotist, the coup could have never been an Ibo thing.

However, if it were not an Ibo coup an eastern leader would not have emerged. Neither would a majority of the post be given to easterners

In line with your logic, the officers that overthrew and shot Murtala and others in 1976 were predominantly from Plateau State so why was the 1976 coup not branded a Plateau/Angas Coup? You dont harbour hatred for them so automatically the ethnic angle should not stand abi? Abeg park well you cannot bring case and judge yourself winner in your own case Thats for kids...

... Smart observation. When one 'ikenna' from Anioma or Ikwerre or an indigenous igbo from rivers state committed a crime, the igbo ethnic group will be crucified but when such a fellow did outstandingly well in his chosen profession, they will denied his igboness because according to them Anioma, Ikwerre are not igbos. Hypocrisy is a dangerous sickness. The greatest gift God almighty gave Ndigbo that always sets us apart even in the midst of persecution, outright falsehood and deliberate distortion of facts by unscrupulous elements is our Human resources and productivity, resilience and entrepreneurial acumen.I took solace in those qualities because they are indelible, immutable and irrevocable. God bless Ndigbo.

laudate:

So many people from other ethnic groups (including minority tribes like my own) settle in Lagos, and live amicably with their hosts. But why is it always your own people that stoke the embers of conflict? If in your view the people of the South-west (i.e. the Yoruba) are tribalistic, doesn't it make sense for you chaps to stop populating their cities in droves? All the money you make in Lagos, can still be made by your people if they stay in the East, not so? Why not stay back in your own districts or regions, to avoid the tribalism you keep talking about? Just saying.


Guy, Awolowo's free education was enjoyed by the Western Igbo people who formed part of the old Midwest region. Please never forget that. Many of them would NOT have become the successful people they are today, without the benefit of Awolowo's free education programme. Do your research.

Ngozi123:


Because it did not fit their agenda. It's not just that poster who's guilty of this; you rarely hear any Nigerians refer to that coup as the Plateau coup. They tried so hard to paint the first military coup as an Igbo coup because they needed an excuse to 'cut the Igbo to size'. Essentially, that coup and, by extension, the war, gave Nigerians a reason to 'blame' the Igbos for their misfortune as a nation. This enabled them to marginalise the Igbo with the support of the majority and if the Igbos complained, they would just claim that the "Igbos are trying to dominate again". It's a very worrying trend- the Nazis used the same tactics against the Jews.

Newmanluckyman:
... In your deliberate bid to buttress your points that 1966 coup was an 'igbo coup', you have unwittingly let the cat out of the bag. So you have finally believed that there are indigenous igbos in Midwest now South South? Also, that Osadebe Dennis the former premier of the Midwest is also an igbo man? So you won't deny anymore that there wasn't any indigenous igbos in Niger Delta? If you answer yes to those questions objectively, do you now see why igbos referred to themselves as SE/SS? Hope you won't continue making caricature of igbos or saying that they are attaching themselves to SS. It is only the truth that will set us free and it begins with you now. Goodluck bro.
