The Famous Five Soldiers Of 1966 Coup In Nigeria And Reason Behind It. by Wesely01(m): 4:24pm On Jul 02, 2016
It was Saturday morning January 15, 1966 that 5 young Revolutionists, Major , Chukuwma Kaduna Nzeogu,Major Emmanuel IFeajuna, Timothy Onwuatuegwu,Adewale Ademoyega and Chris Anuforo justified their action to carry out a coup in the country to tackle corruption and take over government from the then political leaders.

They said corruption in the country then could run Nigeria aground the way our politicians and federal ministers were living flamboyant life style and intimidating poor Nigerians. Which we can all see that replaying itself in 2016.

It's Been 50 years now down the road and the same leaders and politicians still don't understand what it means to serve Nigerians or i should say ordinary Nigerians.

For history not to repeat itself they should please act well and restructure this nation, people are suffering, no food, no light , no water, no accommodation,no jobs, the rate of unemployed youth in Nigeria is so scary . The politicians take the good jobs for the kids and families and leave poor Nigerians to suffer and you feel things will be right ?

The lesson from this famous five was that they killed most of the politicans then and till this moment corruption is still a major problem in the world and not just here in Nigerian alone.

Provide basic amenities and help your citizen grow and be proud of this nation.

Heroes my foot. Those guys were bastards and will forever remain bastards. They killed innocent people from the north and south West yet spared those from the east
