Who killed Balewa
Who killed Bello
Who killed maimalari
Who killed okotie-eboh
Who killed Akintola
Who refused to kill Okpara
and finally who tipped off Azikiwe to proceed on extended medical leave abroad?

I think igbos owe Nigeria a lot of restitution.
Less than 6 years into independence, they went on a killing spree of other regional leaders, conspicuously sparing their own leaders.

After that coup, they proceeded immediately to put in place measures and actions that can guarantee their total domination of Nigeria in their usual greedy nature

The genesis of the ethic suspicions that is still with us till today.
u are so ignorant and it ll be waste of time to argue with you.... Go and read real story of Nigeria by Jide..... Every body owe d country restitution...to ensure we don't talk about tribe but Nigeria writ large

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.

He's not Yoruba!

Yorubas don't differentiate between SS, Delta, Southeast. All they know is that Benin/Bini are separate and everyone else over there in the East side are "Omo-Igbo" and the "Awusa" are in the north. Although sometimes you will find a Yoruba that will separate out the Calabar/Efik.

On his argument though, I agree the coup was devastating for Nigeria but I hold the coup-plotters responsible, not their region - wherever it may be. That coup led to tragedy upon tragedy. And we're still suffering the ramifications.

Is Chukwuma Nzeogwu a Yoruba or Hausa name?

Maybe you need to go back to your social studies. cheesy
Does the name T Y Danjuma make the person a Fulani/Hausa?

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.

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.

nzeokwu was a patrotic man that have nigeria at heart just that he was misunderstood and his coup failed, if u dont know when the coup was planned to kill azikiwe was also captured in the plan just that the one in charge of it failed they just wanted to wipe curruption away but was done with young soldier blood, go and check the plotters, u will see a yoruba man and nothern men so it was just that it did not go as planned

As for the coup, Kaduna Nzeogwu and his officers had very good and genuine reasons for carrying it out. Atleast they had the guts to do something cos the country wasn't gonna go anywhere, trust me it would not have gone anywhere with the way it was being run that much was obvious.

Really? They had a good reason to snuff out the life of public servants who were democratically elected by the people? They ever heard of a bloodless coup? You think civilians would have fought soldiers with guns? No, they were blood-thirsty. And ethnically motivated! Just look at that psychopath Nzeogwu grinning as he talked about cold-blooded murder as if he was taking about happy hour at the officers mess.

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.

Nzeogwu is from the Anioma part of Delta which is about 15% population of Delta and less than 2% of Niger-Delta cum South-South.

The coup was made up of 55% Igbos, 10% Anioma(part of Delta), 5% North and 30% Yoruba.

we were talking about the beginning of coup in Nigeria. The man that started it all was fighting an unnecessary course for the igbos. He is the reason Nigeria has become like this. If he haven't started that coup killing all the hausas/Fulanis and yorubas in power, there wouldn't have bn something like Hausa counter coup which led to several other coups or before coups became a norm in Nigeria. Have you ever wondered why there have never for once bn any true love/love/romance/peace between the Igbos and the nothern people (Hausas/Fulani)? Or why Ojukwu started the agitation for the soverign state of Republic of Biafra? It was all thanks to chukwuma, he started it all, he was the reason why the hausas killed many of your people up front and Aguiyi Johnson Ironsi (The only head of state from the east). Anyway i wasn't supporting any tribe from my initail post and also here. I'm just telling you like others that Major General Chukwuma was the reason for the division in Nigeria. He created the problem the southern part of Nigeria is facing till date especially the south east. Yorubas are only using brain to collect what's ours from the hausas/fulanis up front while you people tagged it slavery. You can continue saying that though, once the hausas/fulanis knows and never mess with our importancy in Nigeria, then we don't care. And you eastern people should start using your brain. What's/ has befell you people is all your fault. The earlier you realize that and find a solution the better. God will help you people in your fight for freedom though. Buh you people should biko take mouth out of yoruba people matter. We are suppose to fight you the way the hausas/fulanis always do because of all what your people did in 1966 buh we didn't. So you people should learn to be grateful. And we are the reason Yakubu Gowon didn't wipe out all the igbo tribe during the civil war buh you'd always tag us backstabbers even when we are trying everything possible to make sure the nothern people don't wipe you out because of the hatred they have for you which you incured upon yourselves though.

how was he able to gather them? And everyone he used for the coup were his surbodinates which could never have disobey his orders. He masterminded the whole thing that even his superior (Aguiyi Ironsi) didn't know a thing about it. Anyway he died a biafran soldier, i hope you know that?

Did you just say, that the Yoruba stopped the annihilation of the Biafran state by Gowon, well think again. Because Awolowo was the large reason why Nigeria won that war because he advised Gowon on the atrocious blocking off of relief materials to the civilians of the Biafran state leading to the countless deaths of children who did absolutely nothing wrong, even against Gowon's church mind.

he fought for the igbos. He killed all yoruba leaders in the millitary and also all hausas/Fulani leaders while he spared all the igbo leaders. And when Aguiyi Ironsi was supposed to jaile him, he was forming familiarity. Just wondering if the yorubas had joined forces to revenge this igbos. No revenge of any sort, we even accomodate them till date without retaliating buh still they are ungrateful pointing to us as one of their enemies. Just imagine, if we decided to treat them the way the hausas/Fulanis are treating them from them till date. Ungrateful people even voted against Abiola. I just laugh at those people. Yet they expected Awo to join forces with them to earn their independence after all the killings of his own people. #Jokers
