Its okay for a northerner to kill a fellow northerner but not the other way round.

The January 15, 1966 coup has been erroneously declared and described as an Igbo coup.

While the tribal make up of the Jan 15 coup does not bear the hallmark to one single tribe as there where Yoruba and Hausa officers and rank and file involved in the planning and execution of the coup, the backlash of the jan 15 coup led to genocidal attacks on igbos living in the north.


Now if we consider the Dimka coup of 1976 on the murtala administration you will find one striking characteristic in terms of the make up of the coup plotters who were mainly drawn from the Anges tribe from Platuea state and also from other middle belt Christian tribes.


So why was there no retaliatory pogroms by the Hausa Fulani on the Anges tribe and the Christian middle belt on the murder of Murtala by Dimka and his fellow conspirators?

the case of 1966 involved people who only 10yrs ealier had voted for one-Nigeria against the wish of others. So it very hard to compare.

The answer lies with political correctness.

first, it was not called an igbo coup for fun, it was called that in protest to the disproportionate assasination of the leadership at the time.
It is dishonest to say it was called an igbo coup based on the regional make up of the coup plotters that is very disingenuous of you.

people who did so at the time based their insinuations on the sparing of igbo leaders and the fact that an Igbo head of state inherited the government as a direct consequence of the coup.

Now that I presume you understand the basics, you will agree that when Aguiyi Ironsi became the head of state, his first duty will necessitate the trial of the coup plotters and serving justice for other regions who lost both political and Religious leadership (Northern region) that he never did.

It might equally interest you to note that a military court Marshall of that nature at the time takes less than 3 months yet Aguiyi Ironsi blatantly refused to do the right thing.
It took a dumb Kaduna Nzeogwu to grant an interview describing how he killed the Sardauna of Sokoto a supposed religious leader and the mockery that ensued.
That event led to his arrest yet no deadline was set for his trial and others.

That is the most bizzare political insincerity, miscalculation that completely aliegnated the igbos from the Tripartite handed to us by the British.

Let us now Juxtapose with the Murtalla Mohammed saga, he was assasinated, the next in command Olusegun Obasanjo did not wait to get a definition for the coup from the court of popular opinion rather he served his purpose as a head of state by rounding up the culprits and handed them death sentences.

That act of good faith endeared Obj to the Northerners and we saw a replay of that goodwill in 1999.
Obasanjo proved with that 1976 action that he learned from the history of the past decade, he equally proved that he is way smarter than Aguiyi Ironsi.

Rightly put, Obasanjo's ingenuity calmed would be reprisals of Murtalla 's murder.

A society without law, order, justice and rule of law easily degenerates to Anarchy.
such was the reality of the 1966 Nigeria's political space.

Ooops! I am so sorry dude. I didn't know your Momma was one of em flaatThead chicks my Pops ravaged during the war. Well, That's life Bro. Nuff Respecks Mon.

Ooni:
continue telling people lies and half truths. The major problem that resulted to the civil war was not even the killing of ironsi and co. But an organised terrorism in which every northerner participated in killing of armless ibos in the guise of pogrom. If the coup ended in a counter coup the civl war would have occurred. But i am sure the north and middle belt are paying for it. u think all these killings happening in Nigeria today is for fun? North re killing themselves in guise of terrorism while also extending their 'friendship' to middle belt through the herdsmen, and occassionary southwest

Northern nigeria is the only place in the world today were a group of pple are massacaring their own pple for no established reason nd u think it is ordinary?

I only fear for my yoruba pple

Can you give your point without saying trash

@Jpphilips points are nothing but twisted facts which potray falsehood

jpphilips:



Someone gave you a history that obviously you could not afford, im sure that even your parents are bereft of that knowledge else you would have learnt a little of it from home, you come online to call it half truth with zero input to the subject of discourse.
The Op asked why two similar scenarios produced different outcomes and you are telling us what started the civil war, where you asked that?

Give me two reasons why I shouldn't call you a very stup!d person?
