For those of us who have been falsely claiming that the 1966 first military coup was led by Igbos to exterminate non Igbo leaders in order take over the country and branded it as an "Igbo coup" should go back to history and facts to help themselves out. This was the reason they claimed the whole country rallied against Igbos to wipe them out in a genocide. This is a malicious and cheap propaganda contrived to make their claims stick. But the more you try to bury facts and truth, themore the inconsistences of your hypocrisy and lies continues to surface. You cannever murder history. It's not possible! The truth is that, those who led the military putsh were motivated by the injustices, prejudice, nepotism and the lopesided nature of federal and military appointments the behemoths in power then were doing to subjugate and dominate others by force, arrogantly promote one section over another. It was never an Igbo affair as is being peddled to find relevance. Now take a look at the list of the '66 coup plotters and render your own judgement; 1. Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu(Delta Igbo) 2. Major Adewale Ademoyega (Yoruba) author of "Why we struck" 3. Capt. G. Adeleke(Yoruba) 4. Maj. Ifeajuna(Igbo) 5. Lt. Fola Oyewole(Yoruba) author of "The reluctant rebel" 6. Lt. R. Egbiko(Esean) 7. Lt. Tijani Katsina(Hausa/ Fulani) 8. Lt. O. Olafemiyan(Yoruba) 9. Capt. Gibson Jalo(Bali) 10. Capt. Swanton(Middle Belt) 11. Lt. Hope Harris Eghagha (Urhobo) 12. Lt. Dag Warribor(Ijaw) 13. 2nd Lt. Saleh Dambo(Hausa) 14. 2nd Lt. John Atom Kpera (Tiv). So, to an unbiased observer, what evidence can one provide to show that Igbos actually carried out the coup in order to exterminate other tribes and take over the country? It is very easy to sell falshood, but it is very difficult to provide facts to buttress your claims. It is now clear even to a suckling, that the imperialist genocidists crammed up this murderous lies against the Igbos to find reasons to perpetually keep them under hate. One even wonders why the nigerian state and perpetrators of the gruesome genocide have been preventing the proper documentation of that episode for the benefits of her posterity. Terrible!! 3 Likes |

The coup plotters might not all have been Igbo;however there was no representation of any top igbo political big wig among the casualties of the coup in contrast to the yoruba and hausa ethnic group.This anomaly must surely have led to the suspicion that it was an igbo coup considering the overall number of igbo officers that participated in the coup... 3 Likes 1 Share |

The Millitary Government under Gen. Ibrahim Badamosi Babaginda was so convinced that Obafemi Awolowo was a tribalist that his government refused giving Awo a national burial and the Yorubas never forgive him for that. Then, why condemn Achebe for butressing this point? "....But Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu was given a full national burial. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Names of actors These were Majors Nzeogwu, Ifeajuna, Ademoyega, Okafor, Anuforo, Chukwuka, Obienu, Onwuatuegwu and Chude-Sokei. Shortly before the coup, Chude-Sokei was posted overseas. On the coup day itself, Obienu failed to show, leaving seven Majors as participants. When it came to execution, the Majors designated five officers as regional commanders for the coup’s execution. Of Nzeogwu’s "five", there were "the two of us in the North" (Nzeogwu and Major Tim Onwuatuegwu), and three more in the South. Names of victims.

Our fighting here won't change d truth, wole soyinka was imprisoned for several years for opposing d war by d awolowo regime. If he was d one that wrote that same book, would d yoruba be shouting themselves hoarse over it. Pls everybody should stop this postings. It's becoming childish.

Don't understand why the igbo's are trying to deny involvement in the coup when it was led by an Igbo man. The fact that it was led by an igbo man and the fact that no senior igbo military officers were killed is enough evidence, no need for any argument again. If we're still on this Achebe thing bby proxy, then I must say that it's no point joining issues with an 80 something year old man who has never hidden his sympathies for Biafra.The most painful observation I've made however is that Awolowo, a one time federal commissioner and federal minister was denied a state burial and ojukwu, who masterminded the deaths of hunderds of thousands of Nigerians was accorded a state burial. And the Igbo's still feel they are the oppressed ones? 7 Likes 2 Shares |

The fact that it was led by an igbo man and the fact that no senior igbo military officers were killed is enough evidence, no need for any argument again. It is either you are irredeemably dumb or a pathetic functional illiterate. Unlike Yoruba, Ndigbo have never denied that Igbo son was involved in the coup Nigerian soldiers precipitated on January 15, 1966. However, Ndigbo have bravely maintained that Igbo officers led the military putsch but the idea it was an Igbo coup is simply moronic. If no Igbo senior military officer was killed during coup according to dumbass such as you, then Lt Col A. Unegbe must be a Yoruba or army recruit. Achebe does not need to hide or have sympathies for Biafra because he is a Biafran like most Igbo people. If your expressed knowledge of events of January 15, 1966 in Nigeria granted you the impetus to spew crap, I pity your idiosyncrasy. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Chidi4u: For those of us who have been Another irrefutable evidence of the conspiracy against Igbos to justify their massacre in 1967. I knew Igbos didn't lead that coup. If not, why would Ironsi threaten to arrest Major Kaduna Nzeogwu after he secured Lagos, if they had been co-conspirators? Why didn't Lt. Col O.Ojukwu (GOC Commander in Kano) not know about the coup, yet Mallam Hassan Katsina had to tell him about what was going on? It all just didn't add up. Nigerians with their short memories just felt it was convenient to blame Igbos for the 1966 coup because it was led by Nzeogwu and conveniently forgot all the other major actors who were non-igbo in the group. 2 Likes |
