ScamDemicEra:
.... Danjuma said the same thing IBB said in several interviews :

it wasn't an "Igbo coup" but quickly became "Igbo coup" afterwards with taunting and chest beating by Igbo officer's wives in the barrack and some music record dissing Bello and praising Igbo officers and some gruesome pictures of Bello. Madiebo's in his book said some Igbo officers were alarmed and were sure a reprisal coup was inevitable.

I wasn't there but this is true to type of some Igbos as noted by Achebe (RIP) and Igbo superiority hubris littered all over nairaland comments:

"Igbo as a group are not without their flaws. Their success can and did carry deadly penalties: the dangers of hubris, overweening pride, and thoughtlessness, which invite envy and hatred or, even worse, that can obsess the mind with material success and dispose it to all kinds of crude showiness."

So all these hatred on the Igbos is because of some random low life Igbos who made abide comments and songs about a coup they themselves do not understand? So, the hate on the Igbos is not about the real intentions of the coup plotters themselves?

chopnaira:
I read and read the pages, and can't find anywhere the boom says the coup wasn't igbo led. Infact, IBB suggested that was hijacked and given an ethnic colourism.

Nzeogwu himself confirmed that the coup became tribal in the South as non Igbos were speared except for 1 out of 22 that was killed due to his closeness to a northerner that was marked for death. Mbadiwe is a good example. Man was very corrupt, but the coup plotters spared him.

Some of you are brain dead. If the coup was aimed at feeling Awolowo, then Why should they kill those who are not remotely connected to the crisis in the western region? Merely looking at the casualities in the coup, one will see that Akintola and Balewa were the main targets of the coup because of their collective actions that resulted in the wild wild west crisis. Before the coup, yorubas were already carrying out "operation weti" against Akintola supporters. The military boys only carried out that operation weti on a grander scheme, because they were obviously in line with the Awolowo philosophy and wanted an end to Akintola madness, which was supported by Balewa.

Once you understand this fact, it becomes easier to see that the coup was not an Igbo coup, even if the participants were majority Igbos. The military was not a regional organization but a federal one. There is no way the Igbo soldiers could have carried out such a coup and hold on to power by subjugating others. They never had the military and man power to do that in a country that they were never the majority. How would they have faced the British and other western countries, even African countries who were in high alert clamouring for end to oppression? It's simply unimaginable.
We can all agree that the coup was sense less and too extreme, but saying that it was an Igbo coup to dominate other Nigerians is pure madness and lack of thinking faculty.

onuman:
Old Soldiers, including Obasanjo, have said what they know about the 1966 coup - it was no coup by an ethnic group..
A bloody civilian like FFK is here on a journey to rescuing himself from his old write-ups alluding that the 1966 coup was an Igbo coup.

Gerraout of here.

Don't mind the treacherous yorubas. Same people including Awolowo who hated Balewa and Akintola and were carrying out operation weti against Akintola supporters, suddenly turn around to idolise Akintola.

seunmsg:
Igbos planned a coup and wanted to blame everyone but themselves for it. IBB was even emphatic in his opinion that it was an Igbo coup.

There is a reason Why Akintola was targeted, and over 80% of the victims were those connected to Akintola, and not those connected to Awolowo. And there is a reason Why you yorubas do not idolise Akintola, except when you want to use his death against the Igbos.

If you’re going to give a rebuttal, at least be creative.

Treacherous vermins. Your lies will catch up with you.

richie240:
1. I've already stated in my penultimate post that Arthur Unegbe was killws bcus he stood in the way of the coup plotters by refusing to hand over the keys to the armoury.

2. The fact that we had some specks of Yorubas and hausas amongst the coup plotters wasn't the reason why it was an igbo coup but by virtue of the casualties.
The coupists targeted mainly ONLY the military and political leaders of the north, west and midwest while NONE from the south east was killed.

Nwokem, rest!

Igbos will outlive you demonic emotionless vermins.

Softmirror:
How can a person who has been referred to as an EVIL GENIUS and a MARADONA for decades tell the truth. Are you called such names because you are an upright person?!

Of course his book is lies upon lies.

He is just being manipulative with the 1966 coup to get sympathy from the one and only EMOTIONAL tribe in Nigeria.

Lol IBB is willing to enter his grave by telling more and more lies.

Why didn't he write anything about the counter coup which he was a participant that targeted mainly Igbo officers?! Why Igbo officers? Were they being killed just for fun?

Late Maj. Gen David Ejoor who was Governor of Mid Western Region (1966-1967) and then Chief of Army Staff made it explicit about the coup and called it an Igbo coup.

Babangida will remain an EVIL GENIUS and a MARADONA till his last breathe.

The whole world can see the emotionless beasts that you and your ilk are. Demonic vermins. You will receive your judgement from God one day, whether on earth or in hell.

Akpabio was spot on.

My female class mate way back in secondary school had one of the best handwritings in the world.
But on the other hand, I have the worst handwriting in the whole world. From primary school, teachers complained tire and gave me countless queries, and I tried to improve too, but no way. Very terrible handwriting wey I get. Despite my terrible handwriting though, I took first position all through my secondary school terms, but except for two terms that I took second and third.
My poor handwriting really affected my grade at the univeristy. Having a great handwriting is a big flex, especially in Nigeria where most teachers and lecturers don't have patience.

...And that have you Igbos gained from fighting within yourselves while claiming to be fighting for freedom?!

Uwazurike, Kanu, Ekpa, etc... What do you have to show for it?!!

Has it improved your lives or made you live better than those you claim are begging for one Nigeria?!!

Good governance will continue to elude one Nigerian supporters because like the idiots all of you are, will not put the hard work or effort to nation building. We never told you idiots that gaining independence from the zoo will be a walk in the park. That is the difference between you low IQ zombies and us.

Nnamdipapa:
Thanks for pointing that out. On the minds of most white voters, she is the one and same as other black immigrants as long as she has the skin. Even Obama with a white mother still got similar treatments in the US.

Conservative Party will never win a majority seat in the UK as long as Kemi remains the leader. Her constituents do not have the power to make her a PM.

Rest, abeg.

your problem is that you aint seeing pass the money

How about the women leave the children for the men? Most men will happily take the children without the need to ask for child support from the women. But we know sey everybody get agenda.

Lol

I have the story of the person behind the moniker. The person always claimed to be from Akwa Ibom but you can never see him arguing in support of Akwa Ibom or South South. He's focus is on South East like this thread.

Make I no derail the thread with full story

Why do you think some of them troll me? Na because I get their story and whenever I burst their bubbles they always go haywire

Half of Africa, Asia and the Middle East want to move to what is basically a tiny island, 3 times smaller than Nigeria.The average oyinbo British hate with a passion this unlimited mass migration, just read their comments on social media. This is actually unsustainable and I predict an explosion sooner or later. London looks like some third world shithole city now, not the London of even 20 to 30 years ago.

Nigerians don't know that they being set up by the Luciferian globalists who are deliberately setting up the entire world for a massive reset. The entire world population will be reduced to just 500 million people, if not less, for them to easily control. The kind mass killings that will happen once the apocalypsic event they are planning is set off.

Chekwume16:
If you stay here in ph you will understand how much the ikwerres detest igbo people. Its quite deep and surely his immediate and lager Community will ostracise him. As an anioma person I don't hate igbos but I I don't want to have any close affiliation with them due to their overbearing behaviour. That aside I cant really do without their food. I think they have the best delicacies in Nigeria

See this IPOB man.

fuke:
Tafawa Balewa resisted arrest?

Brig. Ademulegun and his pregnant wife killed in the bedroom resisted arrest?

Okoiptieboh resisted arrest?

Meanwhile all senior Igbos somehow were outside on holidays.

Ironsi did not allow the person chosen by politicians to take over from Balewa.

He muscled them off,abolished regional government for a unitary one.

You guys accept it, your progenitors messed up Nigeria and for this

it will be difficult for an Igbo man to be president soonest.

You can continue to shine about those leaders from now till eternity, but the truth stands that this country was destined to collapse even before it began. Regional government would have still collapsed with the level of breed and wickedness inherent in the Nigerian gene. It was just a matter of time. At least, the wild wild west was a template to the destructive tendencies in the average Nigerian politician. Regionalism wouldn't have saved Nigeria.

fuke:
Lt. Col Yakubu Gowon routed the plotters.
The mutineers were not killed. Ironsi pampered them.
and this angered the northern officers which led to the counter coup 6months later.

How many mutineers has your country killed? Nigeria was a very young and fragile and experimental country at the time, and no coup had happened prior to that time. No great leader will hurriedly kill those men without assessing the entire situation.

Godwin4444:
dey play

An Igbo coup cos of greed of Igbos to have it all

If that makes you sleep well at night. One will think that it was only Nigeria that experienced coup or some sort of violent changes in their political systems. Not even Rwandans hold onto such grudges against one another. Or even those who fought world wars and killed millions face this kind of hate the rest of the country have against Igbos. They don't even hate the whiteman or the Arabic man who enslaved them for centuries. They don't even hate the Fulanis who continue to kill them in their numbers.
Bloody low IQ beings who can not move past their primitive mentality. Nigeria was destined to fail whether that coup happened or not, with Nigerians' average IQ of 67 or below, no country could become great with that low level. You all just fantasies about regionalism and some corrupt leaders who were of no good and impact. Nothing would have stopped the declined of Nigeria with religious and tribal extremists.

Godwin4444:
so y do u Igbos feel pain when Reno omokri n co call it an Igbo coup that it is?

Ain't u proud of your actions or u are ashamed to say it?

An Igbo coup to stop the chaos in the south west.

aswani:
Point is, Biafra was an overwhelmingly Ndigbo thing, minorities in Eastern Region should have been, as a matter of courtesy, offered a Referendum, same as any prospective Oodua republic should offer Ẹdo, Itsekiri, Olukumi, Urhobo, Ilaje, Afemai, Esan first before attempting to dragg them in.

Notable people kwa, they had to agree or they would shot dead by the next morning.

You heard of Ukpabi Asika?

This is Why talking about history is damn problematic. Don't use your big 2025 IQ and logic to discuss matters about the past. You have to present yourself in that era. Nigerians of that time had not evolved to understand some of this things. Democracy, Referendum, military junta, e.t.c; all these were experimental stuff at the time. No one knew it better.

Godwin4444:
that still wouldn't change it as an Igbo coup

At least it stopped the wild wild west chaos. The coupists achieved their aim.

casualobserver:
Your attempts to appear knowledgeable make you appear very ignorant. Everybody who is a student of Nigerian history knows the background of the coup. So I don’t see what you are trying to achieve by telling me about what happened in the west before the coup.

Do you think you are talking to a millennial who doesn’t know history?

Ayo Adebanjo is somebody I knew very well when I was young. Even though my late parents were not politicians, a lot of the political gladiators of the time were friends of my parents. There is nothing you can educate me on the matter. Trust me!

LA 2191D green Mercedes’ Ben 200 with white interior. That’s the official car given to him in 1977 by the party.

If you have anything intelligent to offer, either facts or opinion backed with critical thinking do so, but nobody cares about all the nonsense you just wrote. Those are weak attempt by someone who is learning his history in 2025 on the internet.

I have already told you I don’t believe it was an ibo coup but unfortunately for them they failed and power fell into the hands of ibo expansionists who then acted in typical ibo fashion.

BTW:

1) if you have to start mentioning your tribe or referencing mine in making a point, you have no point. A truth is truth irrespective of where you, myself or anyone comes from.
2) your choice of heroes shows you are likely just radical for the sake of radical and don’t think through things. The kind of person that changes a government for the sake of it because you don’t like the current state of affairs and plunges the country into a crisis. Kinda the same thing the 15th January coup plotters did.

Nothing I have writen is out of place. Giving you a little background of myself was to enable you understand me better and my points.
I don't see anyone have vested interest in the history and also the future of Nigeria more that as I do. And that is because my resources are used to run this fraud of a country that is destined for doom only.
If the names I have mentioned whose character I admire do not tickle your fancy, then that tells a lot about you.
Well, I appreciate the fact that we both agreed that the coup was not an Igbo coup. There is no greater truth in this matter than this.

You this boy, you're just yapping rubbish to justify the satanic act of your kinsmen. To you, a six year old is a dummy who can't recollect what happened under his nose?. How old were you when you started school?
Also, was Awolowo in charge when the coup happened?.study your history, ignorance is not bliss, boy.

It's either you are lying, or Adebanjo is. https://punchng.com/akintola-travelled-ambulances-protection-wild-wild-west-crisis-ayo-adebanjo/
