Obiagu1: "And as you may recall, a number of Army Generals were to be retired because of corruption before the Dimka coup. Also, the late General Murtala Mohammed himself wanted to retire some top people in his cabinet on corruption-related issues before he was assassinated."

GEJ

Obiagu1: It is now clear why OBJ put Murtala Mohammed in our currency when our founding fathers had not made it in any currency denomination.
This was done to becloud any suspicion that he assassinated Murtala Mohammed because he was about to face corruption charges.

Aigbofa:

prove it.

Obiagu1: No wonder Dimka and co were rounded up and executed so that the truth will not be known.
They could have been sentenced to jail!

Executing them was a first in Nigerian history and this was done for a reason; to hide the truth.

Dimka was a pawn that was used and disposed of.

Where was Obasanjo during the purported coup

Ibos and dishonesty.

Promhize:

OBJ is the worst thing to happen to Nigeria since Abacha

lorddeni: Waoh!!!

So, let me get this straight, GEJ in his puzzling ramble of a response inserts a totally defenseless statement of an event when he was, in his own words, still the shoeless teenager of Otuoke and you dumb herd just jump on the bandwagon. Do you realistically think with the Hausa-Fulani dominated officers cadre in the army back then, a counter coup wouldn't have taken place swiftly I mean, this was the army of the Babangidas, Abachas, Buharis, Gusaus as Colonels with the Danjumas and Yar'aduas higher up.

You guys might want to study the counter-coup of 1966 to begin with. You might also want to learn from that counter-coup that if Aguiyi-Ironsi had not detained the Jan '66 coupists in the East & promptly executed Nzeogwu, Ifeajuna & co as northern officers and elders were requesting, just like Obj did with Dimka, Bisalla & co, just maybe he might have been able to prevent the counter-coup by proving he wasn't trying to shield the coupists or even a suspected collaborator of the first coup in the first place.

Lawd, where is the sense of history of some of you

So, middle belt mid-cadre officers with the backing of a Bisalla, who felt slighted by being overlooked in the bazaar peer promotion by Muritala & Obj after the Gowon ouster, struck to kill Muritala to prevent Obj going to jail all with the alleged knowledge of a Gowon who had only been ousted 6/7 months earlier by the same Muritala/Obj/Danjuma group he had so pampered after the war.

Jeez!!! Some people are really so gullible as to follow Jona into a ditch without thinking for a moment.

PS:

Still don't want to believe GEJ wrote that nonsense of a response. The intellect behind such a response to Obj's detailed letter can't be of someone worthy to lead a nation as diverse and complicated as this. The man couldn't even present the budget, can imagine what he will do if the house asks him to come defend the many baseless accusations he's dished out in this letter. It's like the man doesn't even realise the implications of some of the clearly baseless accusations he's made in his response. Hope he hasn't already walked into the trap of those who want to impeach him straight away with his obvious manufacturing of facts like he thinks he was replying a high-school letter.

ISpiksDaTroof: nah, that prize goes to GEJ. He's the worst thing to befall Nigeria, period.

soe: Exactly, the NATIONAL ASSEMBLY must summon GEJ to defend this great accusation that a vp killed his boss to become head of state. Soon, we shall also know who poisoned Yar'Adua to become President. This is a grave impeachable offence if it cannot be proven because its an attempt to divide Nigerians along tribal lines and distort history without any evidence.

Eziachi: Now you are telling us, just after giving him your vote on two occasions. Nice.

That is why I keep saying these people keep burning bridges across Nigeria. They fight anyone with lies, innuendo and blackmail. They fight Yoruba, Hausa, Kanuri, and everyone........ Their end is near as soon as GEJ loses his re-election.

Obiagu1:

I never voted for OBJ.

sincerenigerian:


God bless you for you deep thinking. GEJ keeps denying he's trying to divide the country along ethnic and religious line but his utterances and body language say otherwise. Such innuendo that OBJ killed Muritala is being put in the public to ask questions and cause disharmony. GEJ knows there is no fact to back it up but he puts it out there for people to ask questions but I expect him to fail. GEJ and his apostles are putting themselves in more trouble each time they talk.
