OPCNAIRALAND: This thread is very informative. About the bolded, I have read other versions of the execution of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, and find this one less credible. Someone obviously wants Ifeajuna to be heralded as being motivated by patriotism while Nzeogwu is cast as the hothead. While I am convinced Nzeogwu was a psychopath, (watch videos of him smiling while taking about killing other human beings in cold blood, if you doubt me), I don't accept any deification of Ifeajuna. Both were motivated by tribalism and hatred of Muslims, believing that Northerners are lesser human beings and therefore not fit to rule them. Unfortunately many of their fellow coup plotters did not catch on to their true intent until the very end. 4 Likes |

MayorofLagos: Did Yari.ba media houses not report that Brigadier Samuel Ademulegun's teenage daughter claimed it was uncle Major Nzeogwu who used to come by in her father's house for Amala that killed her father and mother? These Yari.ba peeps are downright laughable with the handling of facts. |

Najokee: Please take your case of ignorance to Yari.ba newspapers and propagandists. You can equally search on this forum to see how goofy the story looked. |

Najokee: I count on my fingers the embarrassing stories from Afonja's government gazette. One of the most wicked of them was Lt Col Francis Fajuiyi volunteered to die with Gen. Ironsi. What a useless and laughable crap. |
