Nice. What a time to disown Nzeogwu!

so do you want another coup and genocide?
what are you scared of?
so the millions of school kids, babies, teachers, market women and artisans you murdered committed treason too?
why arent you comfortable in your own skin?

AnonyNymous:

The 1966 Nigerian coup d'état began on January 15, 1966 when mutinous Nigerian soldiers led by
Kaduna Nzeogwu assassinated 11 senior Nigerian politicians and two soldiers as well as kidnapping three others. The coup plotters attacked the cities of Kaduna , Ibadan , and Lagos while also blockading the Niger and Benue River within a two-day span of time before the coup plotters were subdued.

Guy, I agree with you that their deeds was wrong. But never forget that we are dealing with the military.
Just like politicians, there is no permanent friend or superior in the military.
Coups when planned must be executed to the end. To be properly executed, a certain number of people have to die.
I guess they wanted to give her father an honorable death, that's why they took him outside to kill him.
Have you read the IBB and Vasta case, where one killed his best friend after a botched coup? Even Thomas Sankara of Burkina Faso was killed by his child hood friend Blaise Compaoré in a military coup. Blaise had known Thomas since they were kids and used to go eat in Thomas house on a regular base.
That's to make you more alert for most times, it's those closest to you that will plot your downfall.
Finally, I do not think it's a nice idea to see ones parents die in such manner, for that picture of their bleeding dying last moments will forever haunt you.

I posted this for those who always like to portray the murderers who conducted the January 1966 coup as patriots and heroes. They were nothing but low-down dirty murderers and traitors. They used to come eat at Ademulegun's house. They also used to visit the Sardauna often (Nzeogwu for one was one of the Sardauna's pets). A pregnant woman was murdered in front of her daughter. Heroes indeed.

meforyou1:
the coup didn't succeed because one of the coup plotters, Major Adewale Ademoyega, developed cold feet.

AnonyNymous:

I'm not in support of Biafra but it was this same misunderstanding that was among the reasons that led to the Nigerian civil war. Nzeogwu was an IBO by name only, he was born, and grew up in the North, Kaduna to be specific. He lived among northerners and was basically one of them.

giles14:
nzeogwu is not IGBO please.


he is from ANIOMA.

The same person that dinned and winned with the family during the day, went at night to kill the pillars of the family.

Little wonder he was killed and maimed after death.

What else can be a better definition of a traitor than Nzeogwu. Yet, his kinsmen will come here to call Yoruba people Traitors.

...and Ifeajuna is...

Actually , he didn't.

Coup failed largely because the coupists did not get Ironsi, then the head of the Nigerian army, as well as another coupist (not ademoyega) developing cold feet.
