Being objective is really hard especially when one is/was personally affected. Though the write-up was insightful, it was biased.
It concludes that there are many sides to a story but only one is true.
Any idea where I can get that book?

Pavarottii:
Nice info. Clearing out some air, for the youths that don't have such information.

FFK

I think this your quote can't work on this century, the social media, camera phones etc just thwarted this your quote.

To me d coup plotters deserved what they got, but my only grouse about the coup is why would d northern populace attack civilians that have nothing to do with the coup?

omenka:
Lmao!!

He's gradually withdrawing from the far left and drifting towards the center. Very soon, he would arrive at far right and complete what I'd like to call The Political Cycle of FFK!!

Trust me, those guys who have been looking up to him as their hero since Baba was sworn in with his scathing criticism borne out of nothing but sheer frustration at the loss of his free meal tickets would start observing him with some dash of cynicism.

FFK, ride on!

You can get it at your local book store or your local road side book seller. You should also try and get "The Making of an African Legend" by Fredrick Forsythe. Its about the Biafran war. Its very detailed.

Have you read "There Was A Country" by Chinua Achebe? Or even OBJ's book titles "Nzwegwu"? Brother, if you read all this books you'll know there is nothing insightful about what FFK wrote up there. He's just spreading half truths and his narrow mindedness.

For the fact that he omitted Adewale Ademoyega's name shows that his bias is unprecedented.

This 1966 coup was a plan between the northern military personnel and the eastern military personnel to kill the northern and Eastern prominent military personnel. The killing of the Northern high ranked military men were nearly successful and the esaterners wasn't which led to the massive killings of the ibos in the north that led to the war . stop believing what you don't know and not be deceived by anybody.Go and read the history of Nigeria, look for books like 'THERE WAS A COUNTRY' BY WOLE SOYINKA

The Igbo civilians even deserved what they got from the Northerners than the coup plotters. How? As usual, the Igbo civilians started celebrating with the dead pictures of Northerners' leaders on the streets....

They danced and celebrated the wickedness and stupidity of their fellow Igbo brothers on the streets of Kano and Kaduna before law of Karma catched up with them.

The Igbo community in Kano started the infamous pogrom by calling and insulting all the Northerners to their faces with all sort of name calling at every slightest opportunity. If you doubt me, take a look at Igbos' attitude in South West today towards their Yoruba host and tell me what you think. They did the same thing in the North but were fiercely met with well deserved violence which led to their death; the result of their stupidity, arrogance and selfishness was brutal.....

I'll go search for them. But hope 'Nzegwu' is more credible than 'my command'?

Oga,on whose account did you read that the igbo's were celebrating the coup in the streets of Kano and Kaduna?? I want to also read it to get informed.

Or you just came up with that to defend an inhuman act against armless and innocent civilians??

No wonder karma has also decided to descend on the northerners through their brothers Boko haram.They are dying like fowls everywhere even in their worship places.

Karma is indeed a b*tch.

I am from south east . If what FFK penciled down here is truth it means those animals that carried out such brutal acts deserve punishment and currently burning in hell fire. I have never heard such detailed information about 1966 coup. But FFk didn't shed light on what caused them to be so brutal and reasons for the coup. Yet nobody has such rights to terminate life. My heart bleeds.

Cant believe ds frivolous write up came from an educated man( enlightened? obviously not). So in ur twisted sadistic mind d required punishment for taunting nd insulting someone should be violence and death?
And u still wonder why africa is messed up and am sure on Sundays ul be the first to go to church.
All ds self righteous hypoccrites

FolarinLondon:


What an hypocrite!!!

Taunt and insult me to your peril, what my reaction would be is not your business.

Everybody has every right to react to things as it pleases them. Why must Northerners react to the stupidity and wickedness of your worthless kinsmen with praise and celebration?

relax, cowards are quick to front themselves.
for d fact u r justifying genocide, not understanding d meaning of a self righteous hypocrite and also being confused on ur 3rd paragraph shows u r a narcissistic twit.
have come to realize is d frustrated ones dat always start tribalistic comments, a form of transferred aggression to mask d black pit dr lives are.
hope for ur sake dat u r still young

Let me educate you a little bit as regards their reason for killing all these regional leaders mercilessly.

The 98% Igbo military officers with 1% Yoruba and 1% middle-belters claimed that CORRUPTION was the reason for the massacre. But guess what, the corrupt administration was led by Sir Tafawa Balewa and Nnamdi Azikiwe. The Igbo party led by Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe and Northerners party led by Sir Ahmadu Bello formed that corrupt cabinet with Igbos politicians and Northern politicians at Federal level while Yorubas were relegated to regional government as opposition party.

Ironically, guess who and who was killed during this merciless killing; it was Yoruba and Northern politicians and military officers that were mercilessly killed by Igbo coup plotters to pave way for an Igbo man in person of Aguiyi Ironsi to become a president. No single Igbo politician was killed my friend; the likes of Okpara, Nnamdi Azikiwe spiritually escaped the massacre..... let's imagine there is a coup today in Nigeria with 98% Yoruba military officers, loads of politicians from the East and North were killed by these Yoruba officers but Prof. Osibanjo, Fashola, Tinubu and other Yoruba politicians remain untouched, what would be Igbo reaction to this?

Finally, guess what the Igbo man did as soon as he came military president, he practically forced what is obtainable today in Nigeria which is Unitary system of government despite all pleas from the West and North. He single-handedly destroyed our regional system of government with that singular act. Karma has now turned the tide against Igbos.....
