Zik did know about the Coup thats why he stayed away from Nigeria. Emmanuel Ifeajuna was his first cousin and he told him to stay away till the coup was carried out. Otherwise, how do you explain the fact that the Commonwealth Heads of State Meeting was happening for the FIRST TIME IN AFRICA & NEWLY INDEPENDENT NIGERIA BUT THE PRESIDENT WAS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND?!?!?. Ifeajuna wasn't Zik cousin, he was his townsman. You have no evidence of Ifeajuna telling Zik anything, that hallucination only exists in your head. Everyone knew a coup was coming, everyone from the top to lowest rank of the government knew it, the rumour was everywhere, but no one knew who is going to execute the coup or when. Perhaps, Zik was more conscious, alert and careful than others. I can as well claim that Awolowo it was who used Fajuyi his fellow Yoruba man, to groom Nzeogwu and co for the coup and elimination of his arch political rivals. ![]() Of course, like you, I wouldn't have facts to back it up, but if I repeat it long enough like Yorubas had done theirs using the Lagos-Ibadan print media over years, it starts taking the semblance of the truth. ![]() 4 Likes 2 Shares |

pazienza: ‘Yoruba marginalised by Jonathan administration’ Posted By: Bisi Oladele On: February 7, 2013 Nation A Yoruba group, the Yoruba Unity Forum (YUF), has decried the alleged neglect of the Southwest by the President Goodluck Jonathan administration. Urging the President not to see it as another baseless cry, it reeled out data to support its claim. Chief Olu Falae, Bishop Bolanle Gbonigi, Senator Femi Okunrohunmu, Dr. Kunle Olajide and Senator Tony Adefuye spoke with reporters at the Premier Hotel in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, yesterday. They said no Yoruba person occupies any of the top 12 political offices in Nigeria. The positions are the president; vice president; Senate president; House of Representatives’ speaker; chief judge of the federation; deputy senate president; deputy speaker, House of Representatives; acting president of the Court of Appeal; secretary to the government of the federation; chief of staff to the president; national security adviser and the head of service of the federation. They said Jonathan should have appointed, at least, one Yoruba person of his choice into one of the positions to reflect the federal character. YUF said only three of the 36 principal economic and financial agencies, including key ministries, departments and agencies, are headed by Yoruba persons. In the Judiciary and anti-corruption sectors, they said none of the 11 agencies is headed by a Yoruba person. The positions/agencies include: the Chief Justice of the Federation; Judicial Service Commission; National Judicial Council; Code of Conduct Bureau; Attorney-General of the Federation; the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). YUF said the Yoruba head only two of the 17 education management agencies; one of the 10 security agencies; one of the four bureaucracy agencies; none out of three government broadcasting agencies and none of the three election management-related agencies. It said the Yoruba occupy few federal positions in spite of the fact that they account for about 22 per cent of the country’s population. The group alleged “ethnic cleansing and discriminatory acts” against the Yoruba in agencies and ministries. For instance, they alleged that the pioneer Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Accident Investigation Bureau, Dr. Samuel Oduselu, was unjustly relieved of his appointment in 2011 despite his great achievements in the agency. It also alleged that the Minister of Aviation, Mrs. Stella Oduah, sacked eight general managers at the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) last year, six of whom were Yoruba. The Yoruba elders said shortly after, the minister employed 75 workers, 40 of whom were from the Southeast, her geo-political zone. They said the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA), another agency under the minister, has recruited about 107 workers since last August, with 68 per cent hailing from the Southeast, according to the report of a news magazine. YUF said the minister sacked the Rector of the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology, Zaria, Captain Adebayo Araba and replaced him with Captain Chinyere Kalu from the Southeast. Besides the sack of the former Director-General of the Bureau of Public Enterprises, Mrs. Ola Onagoruwa, for “undisclosed reasons”, the Yoruba elders condemned the recent recruitment in the Nigeria Customs Service, alleging that only 45 cadets were recruited from the Southwest as against 68 from the Southeast and 91 from the South south. They said they had made fruitless efforts to discuss the issue with the President privately in the last two years before bringing it to the public. The Yoruba elders urged Jonathan to correct the imbalance, saying: “Jonathan is not just the president of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) or those who voted for him, but the president of all Nigerians. At any rate, the Yoruba voted for him. “Perhaps we should remind him that when a Yoruba man, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, was president, he led as a detribalised Nigerian, even refusing to identify with the Yoruba and frequently short changing them. “We implore Mr. President to rise up to the demands of his office and rule as the president of all Nigerians, including the Yoruba. 13 Likes 1 Share |

This country sha need to separate. I wish many Yoruba people support it, but i hardly see any. Just look at nigeria, there is no future for this country. Like the igbos and the niger deltans, we also have leaders who due to greed, will want the country to still exist. We need to leave this country not for us but for the generations to come. A separate yoruba republic will do far much better than nigeria. Even if we do bad, we will still be able to provide at least 20hours electricity, good roads, massive employment for the youths through indigenous industries, better education system, better health care system. We will not be bothered about other ethnic groups and their hate since we no longer share the same country. I am also certain that corruption will eradicated. This is because there will be nothing like ethnic sentiments, so no leader will be allowed to steal money without being punished. Since we all have a common goal and enemy. I stand by oodua republic!!! I stand by a Yoruba nation!!! 7 Likes |

joeyfire: The Prime Minister, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, who had high respect and a soft spot for Jaja Wachuku pleaded with him to reinstate Blankson and accept another ministry. Wachuku refused. Balewa even asked his wife Rhoda Idu Jaja Wachuku to plead with him, yet he refused and tendered his resignation from Parliament and as an Executive Member of Government midday 14 January 1966. Balewa was yet to accept Wachuku's resignation when the army struck by mid-night; barely 12 hours later – thus ushering in the era of military coups in Nigeria. Wachuku's official residence, at 7, Okotie-Eboh Street Ikoyi, Lagos, Nigeria, was surrounded by soldiers. His younger brother: Kennedy Madu Wachuku, father of Ugonna Wachuku was with him that day, Jaja Wachuku looked through the window in the early hours of the morning and asked the soldiers: "What are you boys doing here?" One of the soldiers replied: "Good morning, Sir. But haven't you heard what is happening in the country?" To which Wachuku replied: "Yes. I know you boys have taken over the Government." And the soldier said: "Do not be afraid, Sir. We have come to protect you for being an honest Government Minister." Jaja Wachuku survived the military coup https://www.revolvy.com/main/index.php?s=Jaja%20Wachuku ================================================================================= Major Ifeajuna, graduate of University College Ibadan, Mons Officer Cadet School trained, was the overall leader of the January 15 mutiny and operational commander of Lagos activities. Along with Major Okafor and Captain Oji he was a member of the original core of conspirators which farmed out to recruit others. Ifeajuna assassinated Brigadier Zak Maimalari, Lt. Col. Abogo Largema and the Prime Minister, Alhaji Tafawa Balewa. When it became obvious that Lagos ops had failed, he and Major DO Okafor bolted for the East, where they are said to have had a meeting with the regional Premier, Michael Okpara. Ifeajuna later sneaked back to Lagos from where he was driven to the border with Dahomey by two federal civil servants (one of whom was his brother-in-law), enroute to Ghana. He was welcomed by President Nkrumah and sent to Winneba to stay with Sam Ikoku. http://www.gamji.com/nowa/nowa32.htm 10 Likes |

Ofcourse, jaja wasn't on Awolowo's way, there was no reason why he should be killed by a coup masterminded by Awolowo. Saraduna, Balewa, and Akintola were the main hit. Okotie was also instrumental in clipping Awolowo and Yoruba grip on Midwest, through his friendship with Saraduna and Balewa he forced Yorubas to let Midwest become free.
