Did Buhari not led a coup? Is he not the president today? In saner climes he would be charged for treason not matter how long! Nigeria is not a serious country

Pls give me example of countries where SUCCESSFUL coupist were charged for treason.

Feel free to research europe so you get enlightened to know difference btw failure and success.

RockHard:


How can you call someone who led the coup that butchered elected regional leaders (with the exception of one premiere of a particular region) the 'hero of democracy'?? No be by force to speak english o.

Actually two premiere were spared.

APCmyheart:


What lead to the coup? Then Nnamdi Azikwe is the President and Tafa Balewa prime minister, this fool kill all Yoruba and Hausa leaders then and spare all the Igbos before he was arrested and killed.


No wonder their cannot be trusted again.

Truth is the IBO man's greed for total control somewhat led to some F up's, But the northerners have taken it too far. The northerners are the most greedy and sentimental sets of individuals you would fine in Nigeria Today. I see no reason whybthe IBO nation shouldntbbe granted BIAFRA if a referendum can effect that,cos Murtala Muhammed wanted to opt out of the union before,but he couldn't succeed. We need each other,but if we would keep having endless arguements,fights,issues, isn't it better to go our seperatenwaus after all couples divorce if they no longer fancy the marriage. Food for thoughts

Nma27:
We all know that Kaduna started the coup because of the deep seated corruption in the north and west, he wanted a better nation for his people but the stark arrogance with which he went about the whole coup incited hatred in the north. Aguiyi Ironsi didn't even help matters at all in d whole mess. He should have brought kaduna and co to justice but i doubt that would have made any difference anyway.

Weldon, corruption was only in d north and west? and all d Easterners re saint?. Even till now all d corrupt leader re from north and west

LordofNairaland:
Justdulla, how dare you call an unstable man as Nzeogwu the hero of democracy. A man who lost it and went on a shooting spree and leading the bloodiest coup the country ever witnessed. And who told you everyone killed in that coup was corrupt? He even killed the wife of one of his targets. Nzeogwu was mad. He wanted to change the corrupt system but he took it too far. There was too much killing in that coup. Too much senseless bloodshed.

he wasn't the only one that pulled the triggers nah. Even he lamented that some overzealous officers took matters too far.

So there was no corruption in the Eastern Region then? The more you guys try to justify the madness of that night, the more untrustworthy other Nigerians see you"

Shortyy:
Why is his name Kaduna Nzeogwu tho?

Cos he was born and bred in Kaduna...

Shortyy:
Why is his name Kaduna Nzeogwu tho?

Because he was born and raised in kaduna.
Nzeogwu was his surname and chukwuma was his name.

Justdulla:

Madam which my people. It it cos am defending Ibos, you now assume am Ibo as well. I laff. Am from the north, a dull fledged one at that. But thats doesnt mean when i see the truth, i shouldn't say it.
Do you know the Idea of the counter coup was to seperate Nigeria, Murtala Muhammed was supposed to assume leadership and do that, but since Gowon was ahead, they settled for him. But power got to his gead, he disrespected the Aburi Conference, the British and westerns wanted the oil, they gave him left over weapons from world war to and he went to a needless war that should have been settled amicably.

You have just given yourself away. You are definitely not from the North. Maybe you come from one of those border communities near the Middle-belt states, that share the same footpath with the SE communities. You are also a very poor student of political history, as your conclusion about Gowon's handling of the Aburi conference shows. Now take your keyboard, go and sit in one corner and watch your cartoons.

BOJO123:

And you really believe tafawa balewa was corrupt?.....that guy is one of the few selfless leaders Africa will ever come across...

Nepotism is corruption.He was elected to build Nigeria. But they started the Northern Agenda

Oga if its matters bothering in Nigerian History,ave studied it back to back. So shut your trap lemme school you.
If Gowon had not dishonored the Aburi conference would there have been a civil war?

Justdulla:

Go and do your research about him.. That guy had no trace of nepotism in him... But as for sardauna I can't vouch for him cos times without number he had stated he was a regional leader

I LOVE HISTORY. I WISH WE COULD HAVE A SCREENPLAY OF THE EVENTS OF 66 AND 67 FROM A NEUTRAL VIEW.MAYBE WE WILL LEARN MORE.I READ 'THERE WAS A COUNTRY' BUT I AM NOT SATISFIED.I WANT TO LEARN MORE...

NaijaMutant:
He was a half Hausa man, Half Igbo man and a full blooded Delta man.
He was originally from an Igbo speaking town called Okpanam in present day Delta state but grew up in the north.

Ehn? Half-Hausa in what sense? His parents were full-blooded Igbo people, o!

With the massacre of Southern Kaduna Christians, I am now convinced that Major Kaduna Nzeogwu actually launched the coup d'etat to prevent a plot to Islamize Northern Nigeria.

Coldfeets:


Dont mind all these children of nowadays.

How or where will you start to explain to them that the numerous problems they are facing today in terms of corruption, nepotism, tribalism, godfatherism, indiscipline, etc. were all envisaged by Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu and he put him team together in a bid to put an end to all that ish.

Sadly, he failed... and we are still suffering because of that to this day!

Chukwuma nwa Nzeogwu o ga-adili yi na mma.

and all the Igbo's political leaders re saint? then that is y he spear them while corruption, nepotism, tribalism......... re only from others tribe, according to u

Do you know Buhari as well is secretly pursuing the Northern Agenda. He is the helmsman he showcases oblivious attitude as one who isn't aware of what's going on,but he is the masterminded,his the one that sends the hatchet men and when it boomerangs they take the fall.
That's how some people were saying that in 83 Idiagbon was in charge,I just laff. Buhari has always been in charge but lurks in the shadows.
That was the same sortbof leader that Tafawa Balewa was,Doesn't talk too much but he was extremely intelligent and cunny.

Nnamdd1:
Nigeria's first coup d'etat was led by Kaduna Nzeogwu on January 15th, 1966.

The Coup was one of the causes of the civil war, 1967-70.

this is the face of the first devil nigeria ever had
brought coup
civil war
tribal conflict
greed for power and above all, the religious dichotomy.

There was a country was sentimental. If you wan the true history. Read the foreigners texts.. There are many books on Nigerian Civil War History. I have read 4

No, you are the one that needs to shut his trap! Gowon came back from Aburi and enacted Decree 8 which gave Ojukwu 80% of his demands in Aburi. A wise man would have grabbed it, accepted its implementation and gone back to ask for the remaining 20%. That decree gave legal backing or legitimacy to most of the demands made in Aburi.

But what did your Ojukwu do? He rejected a decree outright that would have led to the implementation of the greater part of what was discussed at Aburi, ignored all entreaties to be reasonable, annexed or appropriated all FG resources & property in his region, and declared a war that ended up taking over 3 million of his people, to the other side of eternity.

May the souls of the departed rest in peace. And may the like of Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu who think they can resolve issues through the power of the gun, never walk our shores again!

And if Someone from Katsina isn't a northerner,then I guess we would find kangaroos in Ibadan.

Biko, stop telling lies. Maybe you grew up there, but you were definitely not born to Northern parents. You cannot be from Katsina. Look for another lie that will make sense.

BOJO123:
He doesn't even know that sardauna and Ahmadu Bello are the same

Oh, so you saw it too??! That was why I stated that he could not be from the North, when he started waxing lyrical about Nzeogwu!

baby124:
All of them were fighting for their pocket. If he was alive he would have also been hustling in politics like all his 70yr old mates are currently doing now. They were good looking though. Especially his partner in crime.lol. Fine boys hustling gone wrong.

Ignorance is bliss! I know it might be hard, but please go and read the history of your country, and study the history and true reason of that coup. Also read about those set of soldiers and nationalists.

ar u from a remote island?
u seem a cafeman

I'm from the south western part of the country (full blooded) I read so much about the first 66 coup and all I could say his that nzeogwu was never a coward, he stood against the injustice of the northerners and to me he is an hero...

Till date any fight against the blood thirsty, power hungry hausas is a welcome development to me



Feel free to quote me..

the reality you avoiding is that it is that same power of the gun that will eventually destroy Nigeria. 46 years after the war we have not gotten anything right. We are still playing politics of 1960. If you think this democracy would last forever. Then your Alice in wonderland

Hahah oga abeg..I won't argue with yah.

Am sure you are those sortbof Nigerians that expect every Northerner to think and act like an Aboki,sorry ah burst your bubbles.
