I'm yet to get it. The January 15, 1966 was not an "Igbo coup" even though it was led by Chukwuma Nzeogwu (Anioma by tribe from Delta state) but somehow, we should believe the July 29, 1966 Coup is an "Hausa coup" even though it was led by Yakubu Gowon (Angas by tribe from Plateau state). Let's not forget that another "Hausa Coup" removed Gowon exactly 9 years after in 1975.

We are to forget that the Owelle of Onitsha, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe and his Igbo-dominated, NCNC teamed up with "oppressors Hausa-Fulani" NPC not only in 1959, they also teamed up to send political sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, an Ijebu man (leader of Yorubas) to jail in 1962. The coalition to weaken the Western Region with the creation of the Mid-Western Region while Awo was advocating the creation of Calabar-Ogoja-Rivers (COR), Ilorin/Kabba and Middle Belt provinces fell into deaf ears. At no time did Awo complain of "marginalisation of Yorubas" despite the hell he went through in the hands of this formidable coalition. Yet, no one recalls Yorubas calling for the head of Igbos for such shabby treatments metted out on the politician!

In parenthesis, Chief Awolowo warned the actors in the coalition of the consequences of their actions especially when they declared a State of Emergency in the Western Region in 1962. Little did they realise it will shape events that will come later in 1966 and 1967.

The same pattern repeated itself in 1979. Zik led his Igbo-dominated NPP to congratulate Alhaji Sheu Shagari (a Fulani from Sokoto) after the most controversial election in Nigerian history. No one called Igbos betrayers. Even when the Yoruba-dominated UPN was boldly rejecting fraudulent election results in Ondo and Oyo states in 1983, Hausa-Fulani dominated NPN stole Anambra (Zik's home state), yet he led his NPP once again to congratulate Shagari's NPN all to spite Awo. Again, no one called Igbos betrayers!

Somehow, we should forget that Biafran hero, Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu, on his return to Nigeria in 1982, about two decades after the war, joined and contested for the Nigerian Senate under the Hausa-Fulani dominated NPN in 1983. He lost and somehow, we are to forget that.

In 1993, a certain Arthur Nzeribe was used by the military government to scuttle the presidential election was by Chief MKO Abiola (a Yoruba from Ogun State), Igbos were never tagged by Yorubas for this unfortunate incident as betrayers or bad people. It wasn't the case of "Yoruba betrayal by Igbos". Everyone condemned only Nzeribe, not Igbos!

Let's not forget the main arrowheads of the elongation of Abacha's tenure were the Iwuanyawus, Ojo Madueks, Daniel Kanus (the YEYE man) Onyeka Onwenus and the likes were Igbos supporting a Kanuri man's ambition. Yes there were Yorubas too, like Sunny Ade, Shina Peters, Lamidi Adedibu and business mongul, Alao Arisekola, but no one called it an Igbo or Yoruba agenda!

Apart from core PDP supporters in the South West, and I mean the Fayoses, Gbenga Daniels, Also Akalas etc, that supported the Obasanjo's​ infamous third term, it was vehemently rejected in the South West. But in South-South and South-East, governors were trying to outdo each other to be seen to be supporting the Obasanjo's​ agenda.

My point is: takle whoever offends or offended you, not his tribe or where he came from. A bad man gives his tribe a bad name even though the tribe contains a host of angels!
