wadetaw202: Only Ironsi knew why he refused to kill the coup plotters, cos I remember that they were all punished by being jailed, though I assume that wasn't enough punishment for you guys. You were always fishing for non existing evidence of Igbo coup, so every little detail became twisted as an evidence. Ironsi never had an Igbo union meeting with Ndiigbo where it was decided that the coup plotters should be spared, if you had evidence of such a tribal meeting, provide it here. Ironsi was acting out of his own free will, he wouldn't even take Ojukwu's advice. Ironsi wasn't a democratically elected person, he represented no one but himself and his own whims and caprices. |

tucky200: See ignorance. Ojukwu didn't have international support. The closest thing to international support Biafra received was when Gabon and Tanzania officially recignized Biafra as a country. And also when France stated their sympathy, although france did not recognise Biafra. It was Nigeria that had all the help. Go and do your homework well. The British and Russians provided Jets and bombers and pilots to Nigeria. Before the war, the Nigerian airforce had less than 10 planes, but due to foreign aid and such that number grew significantly. |

The summary of this great discourse is that we have nothing like one Nigeria.. We all are just deceiving ourselves.. The earlier we realize this the better for us... Hatred is all I see here.. Nothing like unity at all.... |

Equalizer:please is Nzeogwu and Igbo man? Am asking this question because Igbos in South South said they are not Igbos. They claim histories their masters wrote for them. And pass it down to their brainless children. Major Nzeogwu a man from mid-western Nigeria (Today Delta state in South South of Nigeria) committed offence and Igbos from Eastern Nigeria (today‘s south east) are the ones paying for it. Aguyi Ironsi is from Imo State (south eastern nigeria) he died because of foo.lish ambition of some soldeirs of the mid western extraction (south south). Until all the igbos in Nigeria unite as one to fight their enemies things might never work out for all of us in this country. The foolishness of the whole thing is that the igbos in DELTA, RIVERS & BENUE have been so brainwashed by their yoruba & hausa/fulani masters to believe that they are minority group in Nigeria. While the minority tribes in the north are all officially claiming to be hausa/fulani. They just want make sure that these igbos that live outside south east never come to terms with their really history. They keep telling them that they are from Bini. It is funny how these people believ these things. Your ancestors are from bini but your dialect, your name & even culture are do not look like that of the binis. Your name & culture sound & look more like the people you claim that are your enemies. You run into the arm of your enemies & they keep making you see how little you are. You shout haliluya because you are proud minority. Listen to me; “it is better to beenvied than to be pitied“ Shame on all of you. 1 Like |

umar745:point of correction nobody have dominion over igbos apart from God that is why we excel in any circumstance, but you yorubas are slaves to vagabonds, just look at the Yoruba society today you will see that the vagabond life is rubbing off on them you,will see a yoruba man marry more than 3 wifes with nothing to train the children, making the children touts, while the girls will get pregnant at home increasing the population beyond redemption, and the wifes will be giving birth from one family to another, if care is not taken you a child from a broken family or you don't even know your father or mother, or your mother may be the third or forth wife, the almajiris in yoruba land is increasing and very soon it will become a problem like the north. And in the North that is the confirm vagabond location, where everyone live like Animals. And Animals don't have dominion over Human. 1 Like |

Super1Star: Just noticed the Oyigbo part of your post. For all its worth, Oyigbo remains an Igbo territory, they are officially recognised as Igbos by the Rivers state government. No Igbo man lost any property in Obigbo, as the indigenous tribes of Obigbo are the Asa and Ndoki people. Ndoki people are the Indigenous Igbo tribe also found in Ukwa East LGA of Abia statewhere the majority of the Ndoki tribe are found. The Asa's are also mainly indigenous to Ukwa West LGA of Abia state, they spilled over into Oyigbo LGA of Rivers which they share with Ndokis too. The kings of Ndoki and Asa towns in Oyigbo LGA like those in Ukwa East and West of Abia state are indigenous kings known as "Ezes", not Emirs. The losers in the Abandoned property saga are the Ikwerres, they now have to share PH with the Ijaws, thanks to abandoned property. That's their problem, not the Igbo mans problem. No part of Igboland had ever been lost to a foreign force, never! |

pazienza: Story for the gods. Y was obigbo changed to oyigbo, just like all umus to rumus? They have Ezes and the name of their ancestors towns were being changed and they were looking like lookman. Says it all. So if it is ikwerres loss, why do igbos always cry and whine about their fathom properties that were hijacked. That means, you never had any property, you were just trying to be dubious. You and I know better. Struggle to collect your houses streets and towns back , that were declared abandoned and hijacked, before you can talk of Ilorin. 1 Like |

pazienza: Please Stop this misinformation. BELLO was the last man standing at that gory scene and the truth he sworn to is Fajuyi pleaded for Ironsi's life to be spared but I guess the soldiers did not want a repeat of the mistake made during January coup they refused to accept his plea despite that he volunteered to be killed alongside with IRONSI. Only God knows why Fajuyi opted to die for IRONSI but the assumption was may be the soldiers would spare them but I guess he assumed wrongly. But the fact remains Captain Andrew never witnessed the exact gory scene he only heard the shots that killed Fajuyi and IRONSI. Fajuyi was killed first before IRONSI probably the shot that Captain heard was meant for IRONSI but it actually killed Fajuyi for begging for Ironsi's life before they finally executed IRONSI. People should not come and rewrite history and distort information to suit themselves when in actual sense they did not behave like gallant soldiers that die for and with their superiors. And please cowards should stop calling themselves ADCs . 1 Like |

superstar1: Oyigbo is the name of the Local government,the Ndoki towns and Asa towns in the LGA retains their names as has always been. Their towns names were never changed. To us, the loss of our property in PH was temporary, we had since bought other lands in PH, for the Ikwerres, the loss is permanent, they must now share PH with Ijaws. Read the ending part of this article, to understand more about the Abandoned property saga if you are indeed interested in learning the truth. http://www.elombah.com/index.php/special-reports/16602-ikwerre-is-igbo |

umar745: The writer of the above crap is one of the major reasons Nigeria will continue to remain under develop. Ironsi cannot just execute coup plotters when such action was not warranted in the constitution or even in the army code of conduct. Ironsi constitute an armed forces panel that included acting IGP to investigate issues about the coup including anybody who was not arrested. 1 Like |

There have been many subsequent coups in Nigeria yet none of the coups has been named after any ethnic group.

superstar1: Who are they? The town people decided to change the name of their town for reasons best known to them, the rest of the towns in the LGA decided to keep theirs, what's the big deal? Name changes are the norm in modern Igbo land. Awka etiti was Originally Awka- nkagwu, Abatete was originally Olokwu, Umuchukwu was previously Nkerehi, etc. People change their towns name in Igboland for whatever sentimental reason. As long as Asa people are not about breaking away from the Igbo nation to form Asa ethnic nationality, they can give their town anything they like, no one cares, it's their right. Moreover, Oyigbo and Obigbo are used interchangeably, even by the natives of the town. for example http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/06/gruesome-murder-at-obigbo/ |
