1966 First Coup; Betrayals.. by Nobody: 9:44pm On Jul 06, 2020 |
This post link was shared by Igbochief001..... Pls other shud follow.. He claimed the 1966 coup was to bring awolowo into power... Let's read What do you think was wrong with the then government that instigated Nzeogwu to plan the coup? The first thing was the census . There was no doubt that we were fed with wrong figures ; that was the major defect in the running of government then, Nzeogwu did not like it . Secondly , those who were in government then were not doing well enough . We had mismanagement of public funds, some of them were semi- illiterates . Although some of them meant well for the nation but not all of them . Since Nzeogwu grew up in the North he knew most of them . He could speak Hausa language fluently because he was born there and knew them very well . He didn’ t want a change in government simply because he wanted to kill northerners , it was those who came and supported his effort that did that . Not only that , he ended up putting Ironsi , an Igbo man, as the Head of State . It then looked as if he killed the Hausa soldiers and put an Igbo man there . This was why Brigadier -General Ogundipe did not succeed Ironsi . It was a sergeant that told Ogundipe that they were not going to take orders from him , that they would rather take orders from a captain who was a northerner instead of Ogundipe . |

Igbochief001: Now, from the same link u sent me, lemme Tutor u... I hope u listen boy. From the link u sent me oo The coup seemed to have been targeted at military officers from a particular part of Nigeria and it was also tagged , ‘ Igbo Coup ’ . Why ? It later turned out to be so, although all the six majors who plotted it were Igbos except one — Major Adegboyega from Remo, Ogun State |

Arrewa Igbochief001 kinematics sageb see this ooo I want to assure you that , that was not Nzeogwu ’s intention . As I told you , the coup was planned as far back as 1964 . Maybe between 1964 and end of 1965 , he changed his mind . I can ’t say why he did so but those that showed interest in the coup turned out to be Igbos . Even his utterances when the coup took place on January 15 , 1966 , showed that he didn’t mean it to be an Igbo affair but unfortunately, it turned out to be so that an Igbo man could also become the Head of State . 1 Like |

Igbochief001, I always knew u r dumb... Thank God u posted this link I am using now.... U r not good at arguing, I av noticed that Did he tell you that he planned the coup to become the Head of State ? No . Infact what attracted me to Nzeogwu at the early stage when the coup was being planned was that I asked him if he was going to make himself the Head of State and he said no . He said he was going to bring a civilian who was more knowledgeable and who had what it took to make Nigeria great . I then asked him who that person was and he said the man was in Calabar prison . I said is it Chief Obafemi Awolowo ? He said yes . That was why I gave him my support but when he told me it was going to involve killings , I said no I was not interested again. |

Few months after the first unsuccessful coup, General Ironsi was killed, what was going on in the military then ? Before Ironsi was killed, he brought about a lot of changes in the structure of the country . At that time , we had a federation of three regions . He cancelled the regional arrangement that we were practising and people saw this as the idea of Igbo domination of Nigeria and that it would be a question of time that the prediction of an Igbo leader would be actualised. Many top Yorubas were killed but majority of those killed were northerners . After this , an Igbo man was installed as the Head of State and this Igbo man surrounded himself with Igbo senior civil servants , who wrote most of the ideas for him , including the cancellation of the regional government , and adoption of the unitary government to the detriment of those people who thought otherwise. In addition to that , there were many Igbo people in the North , and they were rejoicing. It would have been an easy thing if they had done that secretly . But for them , it was an occasion that the Sardauna was killed, they were telling the people in the North that ‘ we have killed your leaders and now we are in charge . ’ So it was annoying to the northerners . That type of thing did not happen in the West because not everybody supported Akintola . I am sure that if it was Awolowo that was killed, it would have been another story entirely in those days . 3 Likes |

A Yoruba man defended an igbo man with his life How did you feel when you heard about his death as a military officer then ? When I learnt about his death , I felt very bad and sad as a military officer . I felt bad that a colleague of mine shouldn ’t have been treated or killed that way. As a Yoruba man, I felt proud that we had somebody who gave his life in an attempt to save his guest because that was what happened . He told those boys who came , the northern soldiers , that there was no way they could take Ironsi away because he was his guest . He was reported to have said that much . I am sure there were some people who would looked the other way when Ironsi was being taken away . You will find some Nigerians who would say that a Yoruba man looked the other way but he was not that type of person at all . He was brave, there ’s no doubt about that, he was one of the very brave soldiers we had then. He displayed bravery and valour in Congo and that was the reason he was awarded the Military Cross for his exceptional bravery in the face of enemies ’ fire . He was the first Nigerian to get a Military Cross . |

Constantjohn:All these can't change the northern and western ancient perception that it was an Igbo coup.Also read it the man said he met awolowo in 1964 at India to discuss while as at that time awolowo was in prison serving 10 yr jail term leave the igbochief to believe whatever he feels till this day northerners admit it was Igbo coup and keep tellk g their children same as yorubas so all these won't make any difference at all.Legendhero nailed it. |
