enlightened soul, why would kaduna nzeogu an ibo man as well made dat 1st coup?? history will forever tag them as the first group of people that stunted the developmental growth of this country.

ParrishNorwood:


Began in 2007 and set to end in 2015. But in your case, you're cursed forever!

Euro31:
Yoloba people sef

Largas:
development you say? in a time when corruption was worse than what we are witnessing today, with shams held, and called election.

Even Awolowo protested against the sham called election and the corruption evident in the federal government, hence was put in calabar prison.

Once again, research and be enlightened.

IamDino:
And TY Danjuma still walks about the nation scot free.Igbos really need a saviour.The next expository article should be on Don Jazzy's stick.

zendy:


Gabbage! I will have you know that after the war, all those who participated in the Nzeogwu coup which culminated in Ironsi coming to power were all arrested,dismissed from the Army and jailed. What happened to those like Danjuma,Buhari,Murtala,Walbe and Babngida who participated in the far more bloody counter coup that killed Ironsi? They were all promoted and those of them still alive today are billionaires. Selective justice I would say. Another thing about the Ironsi saga was that he had already surrendered. Military ethics dictate that a Soldier should never shoot another Soldier who has already surrendered. Instead, Danjuma and his cohorts took them into the bush and shot them point blank. That is murder. If Ironsi had died in an exchange of gunfire, it would be a different thing. Ironsi was murdered for being an Igbo man.

deebsman1:

u mean corruption was worse in the 60's than now, u must b a joker. And even at that, the military guys have no business in governance, the civilian populace can always sort themselves out.

wingman:


Why dont you go to school and learn to read and write before getting on the internet. You re embarrassing us.

Largas:
in an era where elecyns are rigged and the only chance for civilians populace to sort things out through the ballot box is eliminated. what then is the hope?




If the coup was totally successful. I would be very grateful. look at the level corruption has voucher Nigeria to.

disumusa:
these ibos are natural ly ungrateful and selfish , ironsi new they are hunting for him , and he pretend to visit col.adekunle fajuyi ,and really fajuyi said his going to die with him as loyal army.

Olufemiolaolu:
Patrick Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu ,
(1937–1967) was a Nigerian military officer
and revolutionary born in the Northern
Region ’s capital of Kaduna to Igbo
immigrant parents from the Mid-Western
Region-Okpanam Town, near Asaba in the
present day Delta State . Im now ur histroy teacher , u better salute me ur teacher. When u wont study ur country's histroy well. Ignoramus

Olufemiolaolu:
When did Nzeogwu become a niger delta name? Abeg pack well.

wisdomguy4u:


You be Olodo to the core. Mid-western region is now part of Niger delta .. Mumu

agabusta:


Pls stop this embarrassing whining. Have u ever heard the Hausas say those they lost to the first coup were killed because they were Hausas?

Have u ever heard the Yorubas engage in 'victim mentality' whining that Ademulegun was killed because he was Yoruba or that Fajuyi was killed because he was yoruba.

Fajuyi a great, loyal and brave soldier was murdered alongside Ironsi, have u ever heard such 'victim mentality' whining as regards him??

I don't have the time to reply to ur remaining epistle.

Karlman:


Lolz

It will end when there is no single life left in the North of Nigeria.


You're damned for eternity.

X3n:

So they were there in the bush with balewa killers? how do pple believe such things, u re suppose 2 be more educated than that

ParrishNorwood:


We've seen maitatsine, we've seen the end f him, the end of BH and their insurgency is near as well.

But your curse bro, it's in your dna

Karlman:



LOLZ

KEEP DELUDING YOUR SELF DOOMED FELLOW


NORTHERN NIGERIA NEVER EVEN SEE SOMETHING YET AS WAT U HAV THERE NOW IS THE CHIP OF THE ICEBERG. YOU DAMNED FELLAS THINK INSTALLING BUHARI WILL END THE BLOOD LETTING IN THE NORTH


FYI NOT EVEN YOUR PROPHET MUHAMMED CAN END YOUR CURSE. THATS THE FATE OF THE DAMNED

zendy:


At least you now know why the thinking of the average Nigerian is backward. Anyone willing to condone any sort of killing of anyone regardless of any ethnicity is sub-human. I'm Igbo and if Nzeogwu had been alive today, I would have called for his arrest too for the the death of the Saduana. That people can condone murder is truly astonishing.

ParrishNorwood:


And you're supposed to be educated enough yo know that If a story makes sense, it's probably true. Nothing in that story goes against the character f the igbos!

A foolish igbo man recently tried to play on our intelligence and lie as they do often that he died of asthma, but we know, and we will never forgive.

agabusta:


Beautiful. You are now condemning the crime as it should be and not trying to drum up ethnic sentiments.

I only took u up on one line, where u tried to appeal to ethnic sentiment in your post by saying "he was killed cos he is Igbo".

Both the first set of coupists and the second set are guilty of crime against the state and humanity.

No one is cordoning murder, but the moment u start saying so so person was killed because he is Igbo, people will lay the facts bare for u to see.

You are trying to distort history by saying the man was murdered because he is Igbo. That is totally false as I pointed out. The 2nd coup that led to his murder was the aftermath of the first coup that brought him into office.

Northerners see their leaders as mini-gods. And they believe so much in an eye-for-an-eye.

A lot of people warned Ironsi that he needs to give those coupists a swift trial and accord the normal military punishment to those found guilty. He did not heed the advice despite several warnings that majority of people over there were bitterly calling for justice. Not only were those Northern leaders killed, they were also humiliated both before they were killed and after they were gruesomely murdered.

Ironsi risked his life and those of others by not swiftly according justice. The bitterness arising from his refusal to avenge the murder of their leaders emboldened the 2nd set of coupists to their evil bid.

To you what I just wrote may seem like justification for the 2nd coup. But that is not the intention.

What i'm trying to drum into u is that he was not murdered because he is Igbo as falsely raised by u, but because of his dilly dallying in according justice.

The 2nd coup is equally and definitely a wicked and callous act, but try and condemn it as it is without appealing to ethnic sentiments by claiming he was murdered because of his ethnicity.

zendy:


Let me ask you this. Do you think Ironsi would have been killed if he was from Sokoto? If he had been a northerner, there would not have been a counter coup in the first place. Ironsi's ethnicity was a large part of why he was killed. Yes it is true that the north held a lot of resentment towards Ironsi for trying the coup plotters and for centralising Government but the major reason for the counter coup was what they perceived as a dark plot by the Igbos to take over Nigeria, personified in Ironsi. I stand by what I said that Ironsi was killed for being an Igbo man. If Ironsi had been a Hausa man, he would still be alive today.

X3n:

So they were there in the bush with balewa killers? how do pple believe such things, u re suppose 2 be more educated than that

wisdomguy4u:



Aguiyi ironsi was never in support of Nzeogu's coup, he was ever involve in the reason why the coup failed. Ironsi only became the head of state becus he was the highest in command in the Nigerian army as at the time. Ironsi only spent 6 months on power ... Was that enough time to investigation and capture all the coup ploters and trial and execute them?

zendy:


Don't talk like that. In civilised countries, if a person kills another person, be it in a military coup or not, be it 50 years ago or yesterday, even in self defence, there will be some sort of judicial enquiry into what happened. Even now in The Hague, second world war criminals are still answering for there crimes 70 years after that war ended. So don't try to cover the fact that because your country is backward, crimes should be forgotten.
