DIKEnaWAR:
God! Why did it not happen?


He (Danjuma) enjoined accurate record keeping to avoid distortions by those who know not what happened.

That statement is for Obasanjo who we heard was hiding under the bed somewhere in another man's home. He emerged from his hideout to tell the story better than those that witnessed it first hand. Just like he did in the civil war.

Three coups I regret their failure:

1. Nzeogwu coup of 1966: that Coup was ready to give us a clean slate in this country.

2. Dimka Coup of 1976: it was also meant to give us a clean slate and yank off the emerging power hawks within the Military.

3. Orkar Coup of 1990: that coup would have redefined Nigeria and set us on the path of true federalism or disintegration. Whichever way, we would have been better than this loosely cemented fragments called Nigeria, run like a herd of cattle.

Sending Danjuma to hell was one big favor Dimka could have done for Nigeria.

Testimony time. T Y is one of luckiest guy in the Naija military setting. For a guy that betrayed and masterminded his boss's death leading to pogrom and civil war, escaping assasination , retiring meritoriously and in the twilight of age getting oil well for free and thereby making so much money without stress. I think what is left for him now is to draw near to God and just like zacheus make restitutions and prepared to meet the LORD.

cg053:
why is it that all bloody coups in Nigeria were led by Christians from Kaduna Nzeguo to Dimka and to Orka why all Muslims led coups were bloodless from Muritala to Babangida to Abacha? I hope someone can honestly answer this.

So u think ur justified in hating danjuma - because he killed aguiyi ironsi but northerners like danjuma were not justified in hating aguiyi ironsi & the igbo officers for killing ahmadu bello. Ecspecially since ur side drew first blood. You igbos will always be colour blind. Wake up!

You better move on from hatred. It gets u nowhere but cycles of meaningless retaliations. If vietnam and japan had continued to hold on to everything america did to them and their countries during world war 2 and the vietnam war, they would be nowhere today. They are american allies today and dont even like to talk about the past. Kontinu!

Read your post again and tell me how it made sense.

So Danjuma is justified in mutiny against his boss, murdering him in cold blood because of the sins of others?
And that is OK with you?

Have you ever met an Igbo person that justified the bloody of 1966 coup?
The coup was not directed against the named Northern leaders. It was not tribally motivated. In fact, ojukwu and Aguiyi Ironsi were penciled to be killed as well, but an accident of history made it distorted their plans and made appear so.

The millions of IBO people did not send their sons to kill Northern leaders, neither did they voice their support for it.
The 1966 coupist actually wanted to install Awolowo as president because of his visionary ideas.

I am shocked that, in this day and age, you can justify the cold blooded murder of Aguiyi Ironsi and tens of thousands of Igbos for the crimes of less than ten coupist from southeast, Midwest and even Western regions.

Well then, can you see that we cannot ever have something in common?

Can you see why we still loath to be tethered with people like you that think and murder in less than human terms ?

criminalmindz:
Look at them all criminalz. Murtala was one of the major cause of nigerias problem. He destroyed the unity of this country with that bloody counter coup, those who live by the gun must die by the gun. GOD allowed dimka to get rid of the rubbish , wish he got TY.

WhoRUDeceiving:
Danjuma knows his time is near and is trying to smuggle himself into heaven. He will fail. Oga, what happened to Ironsi your senior and GOC? Why did you decide to activity cause the civil war because of greed? Look at your country today and that of England that toyed with you and Gowon. They have airline, steady light, hospitals, schools, etc, and your people are there suffering, some looking at going to UK or Yankee for medical treatment or for blue passport.

Nonsense

You did nt regret vasta mamman failed coup bcus it dosnt favor republic of biafra typical of you flat heads twisting history to suit ur own purpose

gartamanta:
Nigeria is a strange country. How can anyone explain how a man like Danjuma who went and kidnapped Fajuyi who was the Military Governor of western Nigeria and Ironsi who was the head of state, tortured both men and executed them but this same muderous Danjuma is relevant in Nigerian soceity? How can someone kill a head of state and get away with it simply because he is a 'northerner'? Chei!! Nigeria has a very long way to go.


If it was a civiised country like America or Britain, Danjuma would have been in jail a long time ago for committing murder. But it's Nigeria we are talking about.................

janellemonae:


Install awolowo ko, reform awolowo nii! Lmao! Actually millions of igbo voiced their support for the 1966 IGBO coup. You cant rewrite history. If u have the right to hold a grudge for massacres, the north also has a right to hold a grudge for massacres.

Now i see u have completely IGNORED the point of the post. If the japanese can move on from hiroshima & nagasaki dt affected generations unborn and called the US allies 20yrs after, why cant igbos move on from a self-imposed war. You can keep roasting in hate, doesnt bother me anyhow.
