It is a lie. It does not work like that in coup because it is against the system they work with. If you plan coup and involve a soldier. If the Soldier is not loyal to the cause.

If it was an Ibo coup, those who partook in it can not be of different tribes of Nigeria based on order. Anyone blowing the whistle can destroy the project.
Guy, like I told the other guy the full report of the police investigation of the coup is online for public reading. It details how the plot was initiated in 1965 up till execution. None of these guys you mentioned was EVER present at any of their meetings. These were mere foot soldiers who were deceived by their superiors to thinking they were following legitimate orders in a military drill.

Jezuz! Where do you get your tales from? The police report of the coup is publicly available on the Internet. Just do a Google search for "Nzeogwu coup police report". Nzeogwu was not just armed (with a machine gun according to the report), he personally shot and killed one of his men (a Yoruba soldier who didn't follow orders), a member of The Sardauna's guard who didn't surrender, The Sardauna and one of his wives. I suppose he killed them with his bare hands?

OMG! You're unbelievable It started as a night time exercise. A casual night time training exercise. Nzeogwu was not armed at that point. While on the exercise he informed the troops with him what the real mission was. He could have been shot at that point if they did not agree with him. He wasn't cause they agreed. Those troops where the ones who shelled the premiers lodge. Before the premier was eventually killed when he was found hiding in his wives quarters.

A body of soldiers drew up with their automatic rifles at the ready. On the order of their officer, they levelled their guns at the bared chests of the four men. As a hysterical mass behind the firing squad shouted: “Shoot them! Shoot them!” a grim-looking officer gave the command: “Fire!” The deafening volley was followed by lolling heads.

Ifeajuna slumped. Nigeria’s great sporting hero died a villain’s death. But he had been right. By 4pm two and a half hours after the executions, the gunners of the federal troops had started to hit their targets in Enugu with great accuracy. The Biafrans began to flee and the city fell a few days later.


This says it all. Nigerians hate anyone who has an opposing view. They will kill or sabotage you if your views are different.

The people did not care if Ifeajuna was right. At the end they paid with their lives. Millions of lives.

Mynd44 pass me the handkerchief. Tears things.

Forget that thing...Nigerian govt used food shortage tactics when they saw that the war was becoming difficult to bear, the used that tactics to kill civilians...they bombed civilians and claimed skillful right? They no try...u accused the people of hating a person with opposing view and u forget to mention why Nigeria hated Biafra for having an opposing view too...u all seems to forget that Nigeria only became Nigeria becus of selfish interest of the whites...for nature's sake, Biafra did no crime, they wanted to opt out from the marriage, was it too much to ask? Just don't get it! Why do we so much beliv in this country that was imposed on us by our evil whites? Must we exist becus they want us to? Both they ran their own nations as confederation and didn't want us to operate same...I av never supported Biafra but we never condemn them! Simple...now see the result of the forced unity! I would av been abusing Biafra if by now, Nigeria has turned Dubia, but since Nigeria only gets worst, I will abuse Gowon and his team for not doing the needful..

And I said, even though the Superiors were Ibos, they can not order soldiers from other tribes to go on a killing spree for an Ibo coup. It is not true.

Even after coming up with the whole coup idea, there would still be planning of the mission, which will take some time. It was not an Ibo coup because they were actors from different tribes who were also high ranking officers.

Oh, a machine gun mysteriously jumped into his hand. And I'm unbelievable? Shoot a superior? This was the Army we are talking about; not the unruly bunch we have now (though eventually Nzeogwu's actions led to the unruliness we now have in the military).

I wonder how Ojukwu felt after killing Ifeajuna and spreading false propaganda against Ifeajuna. Then the City fell in days and a lot of Igbos died.


And so? Ojukwu did nothing wrong! He was no longer interested in the forced marriage and wanted to leave and even told those living in south east to go and join Nigeria if they wished! When will u ppl stop seeing this man as a bad man? Remember Nigeria was never a country...it was a nation ...no b by force to b married to Nigeria so, how did he spread propaganda?

Even our founding father, Britain saw the danger of forcing nations together, no wonder they chose to run a confederal system of govt. Even USA runs true federalism... Haba , Ojukwu has done nothing wrong...what brought us together was colonialism and when colonialism ended, after some few years, a region said they were no longer interested in the country created by British greed, na bad thing they did? He even opted in for peace, he even went to negotiation table with federal govt. Why cant Nigerians blame FG for what happened and leave Biafra alone...it is only in Africa I see that people were created by the whites and were told that they must live together or die ! Now see Nigeria na after many years, see Africa too....no progress...in a sane society, we all should av been apologizing to Ojukwu

Answer is simple, capturing the seat of power in Lagos will give him a better bargaining chip. Remember several meetings were held in Ghana and it gave birth to aburi accord which gowon vehemently refused to implement. So had Biafra republic capture Lagos, we would have been celebrating 59yrs this year

Gowon agreed to implement it until certain personalities from a certain region using Alison Ayida who was a super perm sec to gowon convinced him otherwise. Yet one of the core agreements of that accord would have made Nigeria a better place and it is what every region is today is clamoring for (read the national confab report which buhari does not want). It was called Confederacy and simple was a recognition that Nigeria is in reality a continent.

My question to you is this. Assuming he had a machine gun could he have overpowered all the soldiers with him if they did not agree to the coup? A coup was a treasonable act and yes they would have been justified in shooting him IF he refused to surrender.

The unruliness in the army started with babangida. Go and read former chief of army staff Ali's book, he called it an army of anything goes putting the blame squarely on babangida.

So you yorubas and hausas are now pretending to shed crocodile tears for Ifeajuna an Igbo man? The same Ifeajuna that you accused of killing Hausa and yoruba leaders and sparing Zik? Kai! you lots are evil.

You do this just to discredit Ojukwu for trying to save his people from blood-baying wolves like you.
Why are not shedding tears for Major Kaduna Nzeogwu.


Go away with your crocodile tears, we know you lots like the back of our palms and we were careful not to allow you tell our Biafran story for. God didn't make a mistake keeping Igbos intellectually above you propagandists. We now see why he made it so.

Guy, you are the one who needs to read plenty of materials. The military is nothing without discipline. One of the tenets is obeying orders of a superior. Shoot a superior? As I stated, Nzeogwu's actions (along with his gang - Ifeajuna, Anuforo, Nwuategwu, ...) killed the discipline in the military. July of 1966, you had junior officers arresting superiors and shooting them dead. January of 1966 had set a precedent.

Here's Babangida's take on it all_

Although at the time he was convinced that the January coup was a sectionally motivated coup by Igbos against the north, in a subsequent interview, Babangida later admitted that the Majors’ coup:

"was not an Igbo based thing as far as I could imagine but the execution of the coup was poorly done and made people to think that it was one sided. I could recall Nzeogwu saying that some chaps in the south let him down because they had not been able to carry out the instruction the way he wanted them."[1]

But Nzeogwu convinced his subordinates they were on a mere military exercise. As a matter of fact, The Sardauna had summoned him to question him on why he had been hearing military action late in the night and he was fed the same lie (not realizing it was a rehearsal to murder him in his bedroom).

My late father was part of the troup led by Victor Banjo, one of the other 3 executed with Ifeajuna.

Ojukwu took one of d greatest gambles of the Civil war by putting Victor Banjo, a Yoruba man, in charge of the troup dat was on conquest to Lagos. Banjo got through to Awolowo when the troup approached Ore after over running Benin.

Banjo negotiated a cease fire and d journey on a conquest to Lagos was halted allowing time for d Federal troup to regroup and repel the Biafran soldiers.

The war would have ended in less than 3months had Banjo nt betrayed Ojukwu.

Emmanuel Ifeajuna was also implicated in the case and all four had to die.

Southwest, North and East were regions which operated autonomously to an extent; and paid taxes to the Federal center. How different is that from confederation? Ironsi came along and abolished that with Decree 34 making the center all powerful which is still the system we maintain today. You see, Ironsi created a monster and then it landed in the hands of the Northerners; then you wanted them to willingly hand it back?

American system of federalism and that of naija no be the same and if any state decides to leave the US, I'm sure the American govt will not start killing them...they will allow them to use referendum to decide that...

Britain did it few years back....why are we so black in everything? Must we act like blacks? After decades of confederation in Britain....some people felt that they would be better on their own than joing others: England, Scotland, and ko to form Britain...they demanded to go and British govt simply allowed a referendum and at the end, the number of Scottish citizens who wanted to remain with the union known as Britain was higher than those who wanted to stay out of the union...that settled it...majority carried the vote.. Why can't black nations learn and act like whites...? See how them killed them selves in Sudan...and at the end ...they allowed south Sudan to go...the lives lost in Sudan would av been saved long ago peacefully with mature referendum...

Thats mischievous bro. Ironsi ruled for only six months first. Second decree 34 was the main reason northerners killed him cause they claimed he was setting things for igbo's to take complete control.

if they felt it was a good idea for them they would not have used it as the reason as a pretext for killing ironsi. They were not thinking of riding the monster as you say. They even declared a republic of their own with their own flag, before the evil British(in their interests of course) through their ambassador convinced them otherwise after they killed ironsi and were ready to declare arewa republic and go their own way(they called it araba)
