who follow ur argue dat one re they age mate ...nd z far senior to buhari in age nd in the army nd u expect dem to recieve their major general rank at the same time ...jst lyk sayn u n ur younger sibling re in dsame class back in sch ..

AGUIYI IRONSI. The AGU Of Ibeku Land. The Brave Hero. Rest in Peace Sir.

Christane:
sometimes i wonder how he became d head of state wen z jst a 2 star general(major general)compare to others like abacha,abubakar,obasanjo and gowon who were al 4 star(full general) even buhari was a 2star general(major general) wen he became head of state ...r.i.p to major general aguiyi johnson thomas ironsi ...may u rest 4 ever..

He was the most senior military officer then!

Aguiyi-ironsi's is one of the weakest, mediocre, incompetent, tribalistic and useless head of state to rule Nigeria. He really never ruled anyway.
His weakness and tribalism led to the civil war, Nigeria should erase this m0rons from its history!

A criminal
Committed the greatest crime against the spirit of Nigeria founding fathers with Decree 34 thereby creating the big monster of Fed. Govt of today

when major general was major general

ouzo1:
Senior military officer no be rank o lala...he was a major general

And his intention was to turn a country of over 150000000. people to a Unitary state.

sarrki:
One of the best heads Nigerian army ever produced

Thats not true.
This man started the Nigeria wahala, he started ethnic bigotry in Nigeria with his actions during the coup

celestialAgent:
NAWA O!

Using Alligator as staff Jazz man

Aguiyi means Crocodile/Alligator in igbo

mohciz69:
H

for Haram ..B for Boko.

If only he executed the coup plotters from his region as the the military law stipulated ,he would have avoided his death and the Biafran War.

Oh!! So nw major general na vigilante head??

Poor fella. killed only because he was igbo. Ironsi was one of our finest officers, sandhurst trained..and let our peace keeping force to congo in the 60's. I think ironsi also served in WW2. T.y danjuma one of his killers, is still alive feeding fat on nigeria. T.y danjuma was allocated an oil well, and.once boasted of havinh 500m.

So I n d handsome HOS share d same birthday. Hope he wasn't a bad guy, lemme Google.

logica:
Well, Buhari was not even up to Major rank when Ironsi was a Major General.

that's rank, not age. Buhari, ironsi and co were in the same age bracket if I remember very well

The end of this guy should be a lesson to all Igbos and pseudo-jews. Dont fûck with the North.

Aguiyi should have executed Nzeogwu to pacify Nigeria but he didnt. His poor decisions cost him his life his power and thre life of many Igbos

He seized power in the ensuing chaos.

Mustiboy:

See this one When Ironsi was head of state, Buhari was a very low ranked officer probably a Sergent. Ironsi was Head of State in 1966 while Buhari joined the Army in 1962

Thats an age old lie that the Lagos/Ibadan expressway media have been peddling for decades.

Nothing ever appeases the North except power. Even if Aguiyi Ironsi had executed the coup plotters, the Northerners would have eventually come for him.

Northerners are never happy when a Southerner is in power. From the day a Southerner gets into powrer, the Northerners start planning his removal.

We saw this with Shonekon, Obasunjo and GEJ.

Aguiyi Ironsi was just a man who was caught up with the prevailing times. He was warned several times that the Northerners were going to strike, he did nothing. He was still chasing about for 'one Nigeria' when they killed him.

Ojukwu did not repeat his mistake and chose to rise up for the freedom of his people which is why we love him.



I still dont understand why the OP put up a picture of TY Danjuma who killed Ironsi

more power to your elbow sir,

okay.you got your power back eh? then why did you go one killing igbo's in the north back then? may 66' and immediately after ironsi's murder you slaughtered igbo's for no just cause. Nzeogwu and co killed only igbo' officers, but you cowards were killing civilians in the northern region as revenge. This ultimately led to the civil war in which more igbo's were massacred, raped and dehumanized. The first coup wasn't an igbo coup as widely reported, but was a national one. Wasn't ademoyega involved? wasn't abacha involved? the was widespread corruption then.
the second coup wasn't for national interest. it was strictly ethnic..strictly a coup to get back 'our power'. tell me any yoruba or southerner that participate in the second coup? You know nothing.

Unlike the useless Booooohari and his fellow Fulanis who had no honor nor hardwork to deserve the ranks they accorded themselves. My hero Nzeogwu should have finished the job

scholes23:
O boy see rank,medals . Nor be small thing. That's the reward of hard work

... Happy birthday to the great legend. We will never forget you. Worthy of eulogizing is Lt.Col Fajuyi the former military administrator of the Western region. We love you too. Great men!

back2sender:

Point of correction he wasn't part of the coup

He was only used to get at those that plotted the coup

[/b]Inferiority complex is the problem of you afonjas[b],that is how the north is taken over your land and installing emirs without any challenge.
Keep on worshipping the northerners as your god.

Rubbish talk, the Igbos dominated the military pre-independence and before the Civil War, the Northerners were the worst hit by the January 1966 Coup plotted by majority of Igbo officers. You cannot really blame them for killing the Man who refused to execute the coup plotters instead put them in a Jail in the very same region they came from.

The issue with Shonekan, GEJ was because they later Post Civil War control the Military and Political Power back then the Igbos controlled the Military.

Rest on great legend and displayer of bravery
