Wow. If the coup had never struck by now we would have stabilized our nation through democracy. The coup really dealt with our nation.

Fvvck Niger Delta/South South for instigating the first military coup of January 1966.

Ifeajuna and his Delta state where he is from are doomed.

You lack history knowledge.

The first coup was masterminded by Igbo soldiers.

NO. Igbos are only located in South East of Nigeria.

SS are Niger Deltans and not Igbos.

Nzeogwu led the coup and announced it at Kaduna Radio.

Nzeogwu is from Okpannam, Delta state.

He is Niger Deltan. Cursed is he and South South.

All this constant throwback photos we don't need them as they sometimes bring sad memories and "I wish" ...which you can't change.


Looking and moving forward is what we need now.

We Yorubas know there are no Igbos in SS/Niger Delta.

At the sametime Chukwuma Nzeogwu is from Delta state.

So he as a Niger Deltan, led the first coup of January 1966, and not the Igbos please.

We should all do our assignment before making useless posts here ignorant of knowledge.

Military coups have never solved the Nigerian political question but what they feared then are even plaguing us in more worser forms today.
Checkout the over concentration of the heads of the military & paramilitary agencies in the hands of core hausa-fulanis by the Buhari government & the attendant security implication.

Nothing justified what those boys mostly in their 20s did.
Without that first coup somebody like Buhari will never be president and most importantly there will be no civil war.
You guys don't know the extent of damage Nzeogwu and his friends did to Nigeria and I can tell you its very deep.

That bloody coup replaced the likes of Zik and brought in mostly semi illiterate incompetent military boys from the North that have ruined Nigeria.

The January 1966 coup was never an Igbo coup because Ohaneze Ndigbo never held a meeting to do coup.

It was organized by young officers whose stated aim was to release Awolowo and make him Prime Minister.

Remember that at that point, Awolowo was in prison after being convicted for coup plotting in 1962.

Those young officers should have simply resigned and joined their hero's party to campaign for him, instead of trying to seize power for him.

Ademoyega, Nzeogwu, Ifeajuna, why??

from the way you write, and construct your grammar, there is no iota of doubt in my mind that you are no Yoruba, all your past topic centralised of the Igbo ethnic group, you cannot be a Yoruba exhibiting this kind of hate.
