raumdeuter: 1.Azikiwe was out of the country then. 2.The Sardauna may have (allegedly) gotten information about the coup before it happened...but refused the offer of fleeing abroad. 3.Add Arthur Unegbe to the list of generals killed. He was Igbo. Ironsi too nearly got killed. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

Warship: 1. I don't see how 2500 rifles would do the job of jihad against the South 2.The Sardauna was an Islamist...but he was also very pragmatic. I doubt he would have been planning jihad...especially as it would have led to crisis in the old Northern region. 3.Plus the Nigerian Army in the 1960's was made up of mostly Middlebelters...and most of them were Christians (Jack Gowon claimed in his Christmas speech of 1967 that 60% of the Nigerian Army was made up of non-moslems...as counter to Biafran propaganda alleging the Nigerian Army was 'muslim') 4.In 1966 Issac Boro (a graduate of the University of Ibadan)...led an uprising in the Niger Delta .That was the begining of the current Niger Delta Agitation....which by the way failed miserably. 4 Likes |

AK481: Just like Pa Nwobosi, he has nothing to gain. He is old already. Even if wicked tribalist dumbohari arrests the old man it won't change anything. For the records, dumbohari believe the coup was an IBO coup, he once said it in Sun newspaper published sometime in 2011. That's the tribalist some efulefu buffoons want the East to embrace and vote for. Tufiakwa! 12 Likes 3 Shares |

Why should they flee like cowards while their cousins were killing others This was the account of how Jaja Wachukwu escaped 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 The Ibo soldiers knew how to kill others but protect their own people 16 Likes |

Yankiss:Igbos dominated the military then, and Igbo soldiers were the most brutal and dreaded soldiers back then before the civil war. So Nzeogwu knew that most soldiers were lilylivered and won't have the gut to embark on that revolution, so they kept it within few of them that had the mind. And Ademoyega was among them and he is from Southwest. The man is correct, their major plan was to stop Ahmadu Bello's Uthman Danfodio's Islamic agenda in Nigeria and to free Awolowo from jail and install him as Prime Minister of Nigeria. They believed Awolowo was more neutral and non-corrupt to bring development to Nigeria. The coupist hated Zik, Ahmadu Bello, Tafawa Belewa, Akintola and most of the first republic politicians. If Zik had not fled Nigeria, they would have killed Zik too but one of the coupist, Ifeajuna who happened to be a nephew to Zik leaked the secret to Zik and Azikiwe had to form sickness and took sick leave to the Caribbean country, and he couldn't have leaked the secret to his colleagues like Belewa or Akintola because that would endanger his nephew's life that leaked the info to him. My uncle was among the 1966 coupist and he told us classified stories about the coup before he died. The truth is, Islam and Northern Muslims have been the major problem facing Nigeria, they are too troublesome just like Arabs and Somali people ![]() 22 Likes 4 Shares |

theoldpretender: If you are not an illiterate in history, you would have known that the Nigerian military was 10,000 strong and had a sizeable number of Muslim foot soldiers. An additional 2500 rifles in the hands of the Northern Muslims, would have tipped the balanced. Have you asked yourself why Gowon declared Arewa Republic and host the flags for weeks before jettisoning the idea after the British and US ambassadors talked him out of it. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Mikora:the major problem with ur tribe is you "double - mouth" too much. No principle ! In one breath, you will be very quick to condemn PMB for 1984 coup, call him names for truncation of democracy. Strangely now, u are praising the very first coup plotters in Nigeria; conveniently saying they killed corrupt politicians in 1966 coup. I ask u, were the 1984 politicians,that pmb overthrown Not corrupt ? The same tribe lampooned Yorubas for supporting PMB, claiming that Yorubas are slaves to Hausa. Now,who are those rooting for Atiku?and d last time, I checked, atiku is still an Hausaman. Should we now regard the people supporting Atiku as slaves too ? I don't believe in PMB, neither do I have hope in Atiku. My point to u is that, stop changing the goalposts, whenever the narratives doesn't suit u. Always maintain the same sense of judgment, no matter whose Ox is gore. 17 Likes |

Under the law, Orizu became Acting President during his absence and had all the powers of the President. Why was Nwafo Orizu spared?

Warship:I am sharing already above in the comment you quoted. My late uncle was very close to Nzeogwu, they also fought together for Biafra when the war broke out and he escaped so many deaths and raids on his batallion because he was heading Biafran military batallion during the civil war. He had so many medals, both local and foreign. He said Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Belewa were all about Northern Islamic agenda just like Buhari now. He also said if not that Ironsi jailed most of the brutal and smart Igbo soldiers that participated in the 1966 coup after Ironsi took over, that Ironsi wouldn't have been killed because they knew the next plan of Northern politicians and soldiers, and that they would have stalled their midnight killing and cold blood execution of Igbo soldiers at Dordan barracks and other barracks in Lagos while the Igbo soldiers were asleep, which was headed by Muhammadu Buhari, and which made it easy for the Northern led soldiers to invade Western Region's Govorner's office at Ibadan where Ironsi was with Fajuyi and killed Ironsi along with Fajuyi who refused them killing Ironsi the Head of State in his residence 9 Likes 2 Shares |

Biodun556:Nwafor Orizu the then Senate President of Nigeria had no power, had no visible contribution to the corruption happening among the first republic politicians. And mind you, their plan was to kill the Prime Minister Tafawa Belewa, Ahmadu Bello the Northern Emir who was leading Tafawa Belewa on towards an Islamic agenda, and then President Azikiwe who always danced to northern politicians tune. They planned to arrest others until Awolowo is installed as Prime Minister, but you know the man that has gun + alcohol + narcotics can go nuts cos they were under the influence of alcohol too according to my uncle. My late uncle that participated in the coup said they only planned to kill 3 major politicians, namely: 1.) Tafawa Belewa 2.) Nnamdi Azikiwe 3.) Ahmadu Bello Then arrest: 4.) Akintola 5.) Tam West 6.) The man from Edo. Forgotten his name. He said some of them weren't happy with the way some of their fellow coupist handled the coup execution in their assigned region. My uncle also told us that the political tuzzle between Awolowo and Akintola also played a key role in their decision for the coup because that Northern politicians wanted to use that opportunity of political turmoil between Awolowo faction and Akintola faction to invade Southwestern Nigeria and suppress the fast rising influence of Awolowo, a devout Christian, whom they liked and believed would make a better leader for Nigeria. The northern politicians and traditional rulers liked Nnamdi Azikiwe because he played to their request always and remained ceremonious as he was more concerned with being a national leader respected all over Nigeria than fighting for the good of his people unlike other first republic politicians then. 15 Likes 2 Shares |
