Everything started from the Genesis.. Of I they lie (satan) ask those persons (Jesus) below me...

You will never hear them calling Dimkas coup a 'middle Belt coup' despite most the participants coming from that area. You will never hear them calling Orkahs coup a Niger-Delta coup despite most of the participants coming from that area. But as soon they hear about Nzeogwu, it be "Igbo coup!"

The first coup planer was Awolowo. Update your list.

@op

You are very very disingenuous.

We didn't see Buhari's name on that list.

You fraudulently skipped from 1976 to 1986.

As if the Buhari led coup of 1983 and the Babangida led coup of 1985 didn't happen.

How come ?

Revisionist history ?

A coup is an act of treason against the state.

Once a coup plotter, always a treasonable felon, even if still at large.

OP your list is incomplete selective.

Where is Thief Obasanjo's name?
