[quote author=kettykin post=48018744]If Aguiyi-Ironsi didn’t depend on the advice of Fajuyi if he did not even trust his assurance, he would have lived. Another lesson learnt here is that the day any President meets for peace with yoruba obas becomes his last in power ask Goodluck Jonathan [/quote ] the day anybody decide to call yorubas elders rascal and rogue, that will be the end of that person. Ask goodluck ebele jonathan.... |

thotsofnaij: How does the first coup look nationalistic when the arrow heads that plot & executed the coup were Igbos? They target northerns and Yoruba's soldiers and civilians leaders only? Igbos first introduced ethnicity and tribalism in Nigeria since the Jan 15th 1966 coup. This was the reason why Igbos are behind the Hausa's and the Yoruba's in Nigeria today 2 Likes |

Let's get one thing straight; Fajuyi did not ask to be killed with Ironsi. He was also a target of the coup plotters. Thus, he was killed just like Ironsi. |

The point is " Who started this war " Yoruba,Hausa or Igbogbo? Who started the killings ,maiming and etc. If there was no 1st coup,will there be any second or third,we will continue to laments these till forever comes. All our leaders except some faithful ones are crooked |

pazienza: Your lack of leaders or succinctly put heros is the main problem of igbos politically today. There is not one igbo man alive today that can be said re-assuredly to gain unanimous support from his tribesmen to strive for the presidency. You don't trust yourselves. You will rather back a northerner, yoruba or ijaw man as if your lives depended on it. 4 Likes |

Omoluabi16:I think you should try and read Achebe's There was a country. According to him Major kaduna Nzeogwu plotted the coup to rid the country of corrupt politicians and planned to give an explanation, unfortunately the coup in Lagos failed so they were not able to use the Nigerian broadcasting corp. In fact Achebe made it clear Major Nzeogwu was just Igbo in Name, he actually lived most of his life in the north(kaduna) and behaved like a northerner which was how he got the name kaduna as a nickname. 2 Likes |

@johnmartus You have a wicked heart. Coupled with complete ignorance about your country's past. If it is arsenal or so you will know the history. FYI Ironsi is the reason the first coup(termed Igbo coup failed). He defeated the coupists even though they were fellow igbos. As someone has said above; he was too weak to execute those officers and that is a major factor in what led to the counter coup and his and fajuyis death. So sad. That you are commenting on such a sensitive topic without a shred of knowledge that is available on the internet is a mark against you. Go and read johnmartus: |

quiet sad tale for Gen fajuyi.been caught in the web..unfortunately,the first coup was conspicuously likened as an Igbo coup and somehow the allegation holds sway as there has been reports by a lieutenant then by name Jeremiah useni claimed to ve heard Igbo officers talk about annihilating hausa officers,which is just an accusation...that coup is the bloodiest coup in history and was all for a perceived ethnic vengance. surprisingly,the hausa we're the first tribe dat demanded secession which was one of the principal aim of the coup...I hope we learn from d past and c dat ethnicity will continue to be the thing line separating every tribe in this country from unity. |

Ugik: On the contrary, Fajuyi created the web and he and others got trapped in it. Fajuyi mentored the January coup plotters, he supported their so called revolutionary plan- Ist web Fajuyi would go on to shield the Jan Coup plotters from getting executed by Ironsi by continuously pleading their case before the SMC, and before Ironsi- Second Web. Fajuyi is far from being an innocent man or a martyr the Yorubas are painting him as, just to avoid accepting the fact that he was part and parcel of the coup, and that for that he was murdered by Northern soldiers right in Yorubaland. But never mind, we will always be here to remind you guys of that. 5 Likes |

Ugik: Who termed it an Igbo coup? clearly not the coup plotters, for even Ademoyega one of the coup plotters disagreed it was Igbo coup. And it was through him we got to know Fajuyi connection to the coup and why he was top of the July coup plotters hit list. We also have the account of Ironsi's ADC, Lt col Nwankwo, who was arrested together with Ironsi and Fajuyi to back up our story. Fajuyi and Ironsi were both arrested, Fajuyi was begging for his own life and no other person's own. 5 Likes |

OBAGADAFFI: nigeriavillagesquare.com/forum/main-square/33870-life-times-colonel-adekunle-fajuyi.html This is an old topic I was a guest in about this topic in Nigerianvillagesquare of those days. I had been looking for that thread since yesterday, just found it now. Go through Maxsiollun responses on that thread to understand the role Fajuyi played in the January coup and the origin of the Fajuyi pleading for Ironsi life propaganda the Yorubas want to force down our necks. On Awo's case, that my deduction is an exact replica of what Yoruba propaganda machine did to arrive at the coup being an Igbo coup. They made up the "Igbo coup" propaganda and then went about looking for conjectures and half truths to sell the propaganda. I could do the same for Awo, and it would look plausible, like I just did. It's all about repeating it often and on, until people start accepting them subconsciously as the truth, and the more Yorubas try to exonerate Awo, the more it would implicate him. This was exactly what the Yoruba media propaganda did to the Igbos with their "Igbo coup" propaganda. I hope you are now cleared. 5 Likes |

kikies: Of course they took offence! Many Yorubas still call out Igbos for killing Northern and western leaders, even here on NL. I'm not even sure who killed Ademulegun, under what circumstances and by what directive. The only thing some people want to hear is that " it was an Igbo coup". But rarely will you ever hear a Yoruba man ever call out the Northerners despite the Northerners killing their Governor of the western region and denying a Yoruba man their rightful place as president twice. 1 Like |
