erinalex: 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.

The problem that has always existed is that so many mumu united folks will believe all these lies. The same way Ojukwu used World Council of Churches to talk about one hidden islamic Agenda to get support for the war. So, losing the war, Ojukwu running away, Now Nnamdi Kanu running away, the fact that all the lies, lies and continuous lies has not helped you to gain leadership position in Nigeria will still not make you stop. Why are there a people addicted to telling lies, peddling lies and forever trying to benefit from lies? It has not worked but they will never stop lying. I'm sure Ojukwu would've cried that Gowon was not even Muslim, for the propaganda to work. We had a thriving honest democracy, some disgruntled evil men truncated our democracy, killed our leaders and introduced the Military into our democracy because of pure hate and the same old satanic attitude of "I am better than him". Why should i bow to Adam, i am better than him, the same mindset led them to kill Northerners and they tried to cover it up. It led to a civil war, they lied that Chukwu Okike Abiama has already given them victory. They lost the war and forever keeps blaming it on the North, Islam, Jihadist, Yorubas, South-South people, Oyinbo people, anyone and everyone is responsible etc. Keep the lies coming, Ojukwu died a runaway coward that got pardoned, Kanu is in hiding talking trash and left his fellows in jail......still no sense till date.

FemiMaduka: The coupists were going to release Awolowo and make him the Prime-Minister. Akintola was a puppet to the duo of Sardauna and Tafawa Balewa... Akintola was the man that they used to distabilise the Western region.
Nigeria is a weird country, people see the truth - stark naked - yet feign blind.
Ahmadou Bello himself had played his hands early, probably due to oversight or sheer confidence. He had declared in a famous speech "we will use the minorities as a willing tool and we shall NEVER allow them control their destiny...Nigeria shall be an extension of the estate of our grandfather (Dan Fodio)"... It remains a mystery how people would doubt the account of several witnesses - that the Sardauna had an evil agenda for the rest of Nigeria - even when the Sardauna had confirmed it in the most overt of ways!
Sardauna was a first-class bigot and Tafawa Balewa was his stooge. He had said, in one of his interviews, that instead of the northern establishment appointing a Nigerian from the South (Igbo/Yoruba), he would rather appoint a foreigner. This is a fact! Google it...
People may continue to play the ostrich, but one thing that is clear is that those very things that the coupists highlighted are still very much with us this day: have the minorities in the Middlebelt been able to control their destinies?; have they not been pushed out of their communities and farms? Are they not under a systematic existential threat?
The peoples of the Middlebest can continue to fool around oblivious of what adversity confronts them. They joinned in the genocide against the Igbos (and Eastern minorities) - they are indeed tools.
Are the Fulanis still not overlords of millions of Yoruba people in Ilorin?
Kaduna Chukwuma Nzeogwu was an Igboman that had completely aculturized - he was a stark Hausaman. That coup was not an Igbo coup as we have been meant to undertsand. There was an overwhelming preponderance of Igbos in the officer cadre of the army at that time, and there was no way the army would put together an operation without there being a preponderance of Igbos - common sense. An Igbo coup would never have aimed to free a certain Awolowo (who was jailed by the administration of Balewa) and make him Prime-minister... The coupists did not seek power for themselves, not even for the military as a whole.
Nigeria has a date with history. We can sidestep it as much as we like (History was actually knocked off our curriculum at a time), but it will surely come up...the day is at hand. One of the few niggas on this forum with a functional brain .kudos bro 2 Likes |

The mere fact that Maj. Donatous Okafor was among the ring leaders of the coup put paid to their lies. The same Okafor was found guilty by the Army Legal Officer, Chief Arthur Worrey of stealing his subordinates’ funds. The Federal Guards held a monthly raffle draw and social nights (Wassa). The proceeds from ticket sales and lucky dips were recorded in Army Book 64 and saved in the PRI (President of Regimental Institute) account. For months, false figures were recorded as Okafor was stealing this money and giving a fraction as hush money to the treasurer Corporal Magaji Birnin Kebbi, a NCO in his fifties. It was actually Brig. Maimalari who saved Okafor's ar$e else he would have been booted out of service. Yet Okafor was tasked with the job of taking out the brigadier for corruption
What about the ibo parliamentary leader and Minister of Trade Dr Ozumba Madiwe? In February 1964 for instance, the NCNC parliamentary leader and Minister of Trade Dr Ozumba Madiwe was caught using his office to divert a government land at Ijora Causeway to his private company Afro Properties and Investment Company since 1961. He then assigned the land lease to Nigerpool in return for a hefty annual profit. The discovery generated another media-exposed corruption scandal. Abubakar met privately with Babatunde Jose, the editor of the powerful Daily Times spearheading the intense campaign to remove the corruption extremist if he declined to resign. Mbadiwe never bothered. There were those who were attracted by the durability of rock. They wished to be massive and unmoveable. They wished not to change. Abubakar told the editor: “You want me to remove this man? What he did fell below what is proper. Under British standards, he would go, but the NCNC who put him in my original coalition are solidly for him. Its central working committee had just passed a unanimous vote of confidence in him. If they withdraw, since Awolowo can’t join, the [coalition] government will collapse.’

Re: Emmanuel Nwobosi And Nnamdi Kanu Meet In Israel, Speaks On 1966 Military Coup by imam07: 9:43pm On Jan 16, 2019 |
ChangeIsCostant: Colonel Emmanuel Nwobosi, one of the army majors that planned the first 1966 Military coup in Nigeria, has fully opened up on the issue 53 years after. The 80-year-old former soldier spoke on the coup in a broadcast made on January 15th, from Israel where the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) currently is.
Below is the text of the broadcast.
Dear Biafrans and Progressive Nigerians. I welcome you to this historic January 15th broadcast on behalf of all those who carried out the Januarv 15 Revolution in 1966. I bring to you a message of Truth and Freedom for It is only the truth that can set us free from the bondages of War and Propaganda, which we confuse as history.
My name is Colonel Emmanuel Nwobosi I am 80 years old, It is time to be bold, I am too old to lie. I am not afraid to die. It is time to tell you why, we had to try.
I am the last of the original coup planners of January 15, 1966 with Major Kaduna Nzeogwu. I knew Nzeogwu well. We went to school together. We trained at Sandhurst Military Academy, UK. We lived together. Nzeogwu was our first Head of Military Intelligence and uncovered terrible plans to wreak havoc across the country. We organised a group of progressive military officers to carry out a coup on 15th January, 1966 to stop a Jihad and bring sanity to a Nigeria steeped in nepotism, corruption and mass murders. The Government of Tafawa Balewa, controlled by the Premier of Northern Nigeria, Ahmadu Bello, were using us in the army to repress the Middle Belt and Western Nigeria. Houses and cars were burnt. Thousands were killed. All these happened between 1962-66.
There were nine of us that planned the January 15 Revolution: Majors Nzeogwu, Anuforo, Ifeajuna, Ademoyega, Chukwuka, Okafor, Onwuategwu, Obienu and myself. However, four of us started it. Major Ifeajuna and Major Ademoyega in the South; and Major Nzeogwu and myself in the North. We then united as a single revolution. I am the last of the four original revolutionaries. None published the complete truth. Only me, Colonel Nwobosi, is alive today, to tell the Final Truth, so that the lies will not triumph forever.
They used us to repress the Middle-belt and the Yorubas. When we saw genocide, we began to disobey orders and swore to stop them. For instance, Major Anuforo refused to release mass murderers caught with weapons, and was court martialled. He was replaced by Major Hassan Katsina, a Northern Muslim, willing to act. I was in Abeokuta but refused to repress Yorubas, instead I opened our barracks as a safe place for them to run to. They told many lies about the January 15 boys, to justify their genocide, but it is those of us that planned the revolution that they should have killed, not the three million innocent Biafrans that knew nothing.
For years I kept quiet, blaming myself and wondering whether at 27, I was too radical that my actions led to the deaths of millions. Today, the same evil in 1966 is being unleashed. As I watch, my sense of guilt has vanished, because we were not the evil. We were trying to stop the evil. That Evil is Radical Islamism. I have decided to speak out and warn the world of the impending disaster if we do not stop it.
Each time Radical Muslims plan a Jihad, in their religious mission to conquer the world, they will fail, but in the attempt, thousands and even millions will die. That happened to us in Biafra. At this point let me differentiate between peaceful, law-abiding Muslims and Radical Muslims who want to kill others to force their religion on them. The problem is that wherever peaceful Muslims are, there are some Radical Muslims amongst them. That is why they began a Jihad in 1966. That is why we had to stop it. That is why they killed millions of our people. That is why we declared Biafra, because we are a peaceful people and oil and water can never mix.
My story is a warning to Nigerians. For years, I was prevented from speaking the truth by exile, prison, harassment, poverty, surveillance and death threats held over many of the actors like Ojukwu, Zik, Awolowo, Ibiam and the January 15 boys that survived. But as I watch today, many of the events that led to our revolution are happening again: Boko Haram, Fulani Militia, Niger Delta Militants, Shiites, IPOB and mass murders.
Some people think we acted wrongly in carrying out the January 15 revolution, but they may not be fully aware of the realities then. We were trained by the British to be patriotic, to give the ultimate sacrifice for Nigerian and to stop anyone acting against the nation.
Instead of our leaders using us to defend Nigeria they were using us to suppress citizens. We, decided to arrest them for their atrocities because no one was willing to act. Not Zik, the President, who was powerless, not Ironsi, the Head of the Army, who was a conservative. There were many reasons why we had to act:
1. To stop the killings in Yoruba land and the Middle Belt by NPC the ruling Party;
2. To stop the invasion of Yorubaland on 17th January, 1966;
3. To correct the massive rigging of the 1964 elections;
4. To free Awolowo from Prison and make him the Prime Minister;
5. To stop the terrible corruption, nepotism and regionalism of the NPC, the Ruling Party;
6. To stop Ahmadu Bello’s planned Jihad.
It was good that we acted to save the Yoruba and the Middle Belt people, and we thought that was enough to stop the Jihad. We could not foresee that they would massively attack innocent Igbos. Blame those who decided to massacre our people for their evil. Today we are fighting Buhari. He is killing Shiite Muslims and IPOB members. With the benefit of hind-sight we can see other ways of dealing with such evil, but for us in 1966, we just wanted to save the people from massacre.
I wish to congratulate Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB for the good work they are doing to free our people from Nigeria and Radical Islamism.
Many of our people do not understand how vast IPOB is, as an organisation and the quality of the people that run it. On arrival in Israel, I started meeting high quality professionals and I was amazed. I don't know how IPOB united power professionals abroad, power traders at home and ordinary people from market women to even riff raff all under one IPOB family, with world-wide Radio and Television.
Every Igbo and Biafran should be proud of them. They are the strongest force we have today to achieve freedom for all Nigerians. No wonder they can take on the Nigerian Government and win. However, it is money that makes things work. I shall donate 10% of all the profits of my new book to IPOB. It is my tithe to freedom. Tithing is God’s tax to raise money for the government of the children of God. I urge you all to regularly do the same so we can have the resources to achieve our objectives.
On this day of 15th January, 2019, the anniversary of our Revolution, I want to hand over to Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB, the baton of the January 15 boys, so you can complete the revolution we started. I am the Ogene Obosi, a Chief and elder of the Obosi people. I bring to you the blessings of the Ancients. I fought for Biafra; I was wounded for Biafra and I shall die for Biafra. Iseeee.
We carried out the coup and partially succeeded. We went to Kirikiri Prison with Nzeogwu and other coup planners, where we shared our stories some of which were recorded by Major Ademoyega and Captain Ben Gbulie in their books. I fought with Nzeogwu who died at the Nsukka Sector. I mourned my leader and friend. I also knew Ojukwu well. I was his Chief of Operations in the Biafra War. We went into exile together. On our return he made me his ADC. I put it all in my book, 1966: THE DARK TRUTH.

Western Nigeria...the problem started when Akintola and Awolowo disagreed over the future political direction of the South West....which set off the chain of events that led to Awo being jailed for treason, the Operation Wetie...fighting between Awo and Akintola supporters that got so bad...the government was on the verge of declaring a state of emergency when the January 66 coup happened. Not really, a state of emergency was already declared when Awo lost to Akintola and then arrested him on treasonable charges. But the irony that followed is interesting. Go read about it again, you'll see... 1 Like |

ChangeIsCostant: Colonel Emmanuel Nwobosi, one of the army majors that planned the first 1966 Military coup in Nigeria, has fully opened up on the issue 53 years after. The 80-year-old former soldier spoke on the coup in a broadcast made on January 15th, from Israel where the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) currently is.
Below is the text of the broadcast.
Dear Biafrans and Progressive Nigerians. I welcome you to this historic January 15th broadcast on behalf of all those who carried out the Januarv 15 Revolution in 1966. I bring to you a message of Truth and Freedom for It is only the truth that can set us free from the bondages of War and Propaganda, which we confuse as history.
My name is Colonel Emmanuel Nwobosi I am 80 years old, It is time to be bold, I am too old to lie. I am not afraid to die. It is time to tell you why, we had to try.
I am the last of the original coup planners of January 15, 1966 with Major Kaduna Nzeogwu. I knew Nzeogwu well. We went to school together. We trained at Sandhurst Military Academy, UK. We lived together. Nzeogwu was our first Head of Military Intelligence and uncovered terrible plans to wreak havoc across the country. We organised a group of progressive military officers to carry out a coup on 15th January, 1966 to stop a Jihad and bring sanity to a Nigeria steeped in nepotism, corruption and mass murders. The Government of Tafawa Balewa, controlled by the Premier of Northern Nigeria, Ahmadu Bello, were using us in the army to repress the Middle Belt and Western Nigeria. Houses and cars were burnt. Thousands were killed. All these happened between 1962-66.
There were nine of us that planned the January 15 Revolution: Majors Nzeogwu, Anuforo, Ifeajuna, Ademoyega, Chukwuka, Okafor, Onwuategwu, Obienu and myself. However, four of us started it. Major Ifeajuna and Major Ademoyega in the South; and Major Nzeogwu and myself in the North. We then united as a single revolution. I am the last of the four original revolutionaries. None published the complete truth. Only me, Colonel Nwobosi, is alive today, to tell the Final Truth, so that the lies will not triumph forever.
They used us to repress the Middle-belt and the Yorubas. When we saw genocide, we began to disobey orders and swore to stop them. For instance, Major Anuforo refused to release mass murderers caught with weapons, and was court martialled. He was replaced by Major Hassan Katsina, a Northern Muslim, willing to act. I was in Abeokuta but refused to repress Yorubas, instead I opened our barracks as a safe place for them to run to. They told many lies about the January 15 boys, to justify their genocide, but it is those of us that planned the revolution that they should have killed, not the three million innocent Biafrans that knew nothing.
For years I kept quiet, blaming myself and wondering whether at 27, I was too radical that my actions led to the deaths of millions. Today, the same evil in 1966 is being unleashed. As I watch, my sense of guilt has vanished, because we were not the evil. We were trying to stop the evil. That Evil is Radical Islamism. I have decided to speak out and warn the world of the impending disaster if we do not stop it.
Each time Radical Muslims plan a Jihad, in their religious mission to conquer the world, they will fail, but in the attempt, thousands and even millions will die. That happened to us in Biafra. At this point let me differentiate between peaceful, law-abiding Muslims and Radical Muslims who want to kill others to force their religion on them. The problem is that wherever peaceful Muslims are, there are some Radical Muslims amongst them. That is why they began a Jihad in 1966. That is why we had to stop it. That is why they killed millions of our people. That is why we declared Biafra, because we are a peaceful people and oil and water can never mix.
My story is a warning to Nigerians. For years, I was prevented from speaking the truth by exile, prison, harassment, poverty, surveillance and death threats held over many of the actors like Ojukwu, Zik, Awolowo, Ibiam and the January 15 boys that survived. But as I watch today, many of the events that led to our revolution are happening again: Boko Haram, Fulani Militia, Niger Delta Militants, Shiites, IPOB and mass murders.
Some people think we acted wrongly in carrying out the January 15 revolution, but they may not be fully aware of the realities then. We were trained by the British to be patriotic, to give the ultimate sacrifice for Nigerian and to stop anyone acting against the nation.
Instead of our leaders using us to defend Nigeria they were using us to suppress citizens. We, decided to arrest them for their atrocities because no one was willing to act. Not Zik, the President, who was powerless, not Ironsi, the Head of the Army, who was a conservative. There were many reasons why we had to act:
1. To stop the killings in Yoruba land and the Middle Belt by NPC the ruling Party;
2. To stop the invasion of Yorubaland on 17th January, 1966;
3. To correct the massive rigging of the 1964 elections;
4. To free Awolowo from Prison and make him the Prime Minister;
5. To stop the terrible corruption, nepotism and regionalism of the NPC, the Ruling Party;
6. To stop Ahmadu Bello’s planned Jihad.
It was good that we acted to save the Yoruba and the Middle Belt people, and we thought that was enough to stop the Jihad. We could not foresee that they would massively attack innocent Igbos. Blame those who decided to massacre our people for their evil. Today we are fighting Buhari. He is killing Shiite Muslims and IPOB members. With the benefit of hind-sight we can see other ways of dealing with such evil, but for us in 1966, we just wanted to save the people from massacre.
I wish to congratulate Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB for the good work they are doing to free our people from Nigeria and Radical Islamism.
Many of our people do not understand how vast IPOB is, as an organisation and the quality of the people that run it. On arrival in Israel, I started meeting high quality professionals and I was amazed. I don't know how IPOB united power professionals abroad, power traders at home and ordinary people from market women to even riff raff all under one IPOB family, with world-wide Radio and Television.
Every Igbo and Biafran should be proud of them. They are the strongest force we have today to achieve freedom for all Nigerians. No wonder they can take on the Nigerian Government and win. However, it is money that makes things work. I shall donate 10% of all the profits of my new book to IPOB. It is my tithe to freedom. Tithing is God’s tax to raise money for the government of the children of God. I urge you all to regularly do the same so we can have the resources to achieve our objectives.
On this day of 15th January, 2019, the anniversary of our Revolution, I want to hand over to Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB, the baton of the January 15 boys, so you can complete the revolution we started. I am the Ogene Obosi, a Chief and elder of the Obosi people. I bring to you the blessings of the Ancients. I fought for Biafra; I was wounded for Biafra and I shall die for Biafra. Iseeee.
We carried out the coup and partially succeeded. We went to Kirikiri Prison with Nzeogwu and other coup planners, where we shared our stories some of which were recorded by Major Ademoyega and Captain Ben Gbulie in their books. I fought with Nzeogwu who died at the Nsukka Sector. I mourned my leader and friend. I also knew Ojukwu well. I was his Chief of Operations in the Biafra War. We went into exile together. On our return he made me his ADC. I put it all in my book, 1966: THE DARK TRUTH.

See more; https://www.nationalhelm.co/2019/01/colonel-emmanuel-nwobosi-speaks-on-1966-military-coup-in-nigeria.html This is cock & bull story. This 80yr old Nwaobosi does not respect his age at all. If it wasn't my Omoluabi prevailing on me I would place curse on this man for telling such a big lie and insulting a whole race and the Federation of Nigeria. He was a military man, and so were his co-coupists. There is chain of command in military. Ogundipe was the most senior in rank, and a Yoruba. Ademulegun was the commander in Kaduna. Why did they not follow military code of ethics and report the corrupt civilians that were planning Jihad on MB and Yoruba, to the military heirarchy...or go direct to Ademulegun? Afterall Nzeogwu was a family friend of the Ademuleguns. Nwaobosi must be sick, filthy old creep. Idyot! 7 Likes 1 Share |

Osagyefo98: Igbos saving yoruba since 1950 but what did they get in return....pure betrayal and back stabbing....
Very pathetic, I finally agree that IBB is right about his views on yoruba. You think he can trick yorubas with this lies. He lied they were trying to save yorubas and u killed yoruba leaders in the south west. Let the lier tell us how many people they killed in the south west and northern part compare to the east. The coup was successful in the west and the north but not successful in the east. Does he think he only has the fact. An old man at that age still lying. The man ibos supposed to kill because their greed for power cost many ibos live. He should also come out to tell us those hidden ibo leaders behind the coup. I don't believe Zik was not among. Why was he not in the country during the coup. Nzogwu kaduna was only used to front the coup. Nzogwu kaduna was a patriot then and those faceless ibos who coordinate the coup were thirsty for power. This old man just fall my hand. 1 Like |

WinningSun:
how could a set of people save another nation and couldn't save 1 million of his own kind baffles my imagination... isn't senility a suspect here. That's yibbo's logic for you. Always trying to save others, most especially yorubas.
they were in the same govt that colluded to have Awo jailed on a trumped up charge barely 3years, earlier and now they want to spring out of prison and make him PM.
Same way, ojukwu their rebel leader sent his secessionist rag-tag soldiers to our shores to liberate us from the grasp of the northerners. The same "jihadists", their impish leaders gladly went into coalition govt with, as junior members, in the first republic. 3 Likes |
