JuanDeDios:

The northern oligarchy became powerful because the NPC was ruling the country, right? Yet, the NPC was only able to form a government because the NCNC agreed to a coalition. Whose fault was it that the NCNC did not wrest sufficient concessions from their coalition partners such that a northernisation of national institutions was taking place under their nose?

We were not headed towards a civil war and the sort of corruption you had then was nothing compared to what you have now. And why the barbaric murders - why didn't they simply lock up the politicians?

When you advocate a revolution, you're TRUSTING those who will carry out the revolution to be any better or that the revolution will not be hijacked by people with a separate agenda like it happened in Iran. Goodluck with that. But you saw what military rule did to Nigeria. Ghana improved because Rawlings was sincere - he could have set the country on a part to improvement like he did without the killings. After all, Samuel Doe killed people in a similar fashion in Liberia and we know the result. You think the Arabs are less bigoted than us?

Kazrem:

How was Ironsi foolish?

JuanDeDios:

You mean knaive. He was. But his real mistake was letting those who murdered the prime minister get away with it. That was wrong. He should have had them swiftly tried and executed and there would have been no counter-coup.

ezegenigbonine:


I blame him though but check other scenario
Murtala was assassinated on the road,
Abacha was murdered as strong as he is
Buhari went to mecah n was overthrown by Ibb n Wen he returned he was imprisoned.

Godskidk:

Forgive the man...
Most people just talk anyhow cause they think the forum is faceless

Lordave:
I hope not to read betrayal, Afonja, IPOB, slave and master" bullshít on this thread from rude and disrespectful scallywags. You imps should let us reminisce on the pucture in peace.



But Ironsi was a foolish man, sha.

Baselm:


Only those who resisted arrest were murdered( Sardauna and Akintola), some were also murdered when the coup failed and Ademoyega and Ifeanjuwa were trying to escape , they wouldn't make it with those prisoners. You will hardly hear of any civilian casualty,even the likes of Fani Kayode were released, but u can't just release a military prisoner of war at a time u are volatile.

Afriifa:
and what came out of their born to rule leadership?

KingOfAllIgbos:
Fajuyi, Fawehinmi, Dele Giwa, Fela,Soyinka .... all men with balls.

They different from Kanu and Ojukwu who fled at first sign of trouble...

Oladipo Diya on the other hand, has 90% Aba Jew blood

Baselm:


Those are more gallant way to be overthrown. Not just people walking in and walking out with the head of state, going on to flog him to death.it shows a country with a weak defense

Decryptor:


Fajuyi: Shattered to death by saladin rifle...

Fawehinmi: Jailed by Abacha and later died miserably because he was sidelined by OBJ's government...

Dele Giwa: Blown to smithereens by a letter bomb...

Fela: Died of AIDS after emaciating like a diabetic camel...

Soyinka: First pioneer of campus cultism who is currently frustrated by supporting buhari's election into power and got nothing from it

Ojukwu: Lived a ripe old age and was giving a Presidential Burial which the likes of "Otapiapia Ambassador" chief awo-OLE-owo was denied.

Nnamdi Kanu: Still alive and kicking while giving your slave master (buhari) tension.

daleehat:
Anytime I remember that TY Danjuma killed Agui Ironsin It gladden my heart and make me proud as a Jukun Man

colestephan86:

The story has it that, the soldiers to fajuyi to hand ironsi over to them and he responded by saying he would only do that if the kill him first.

ezegenigbonine:


True talk. The one that pains me most is the death of abacha. Do u know that till today nobody knws what killed him. Some says a lady with � who is this lady were is she from , why is she not arrested. This country sef. N nobody cares

gidgiddy:


This is a lie that the Lagos/Ibadan expressway media have been selling to Nigerians for years. At no time did the Soldiers ask Fajuyi to produce Ironsi, they wanted both Fajuyi and Ironsi.

Lt General Jerry Useni who participated in that coup said that Fajuyi was killed because although Fajuyi did not participate in the first coup, he was aware of it at the planning stage and supported it by telling nobody

Talk true, you cried an ocean of tears.

Very salty and tasty for me i enjoyed reading your lamentations so much

Born2Breed:


Both of them were close and swore to an oath to protect each other no matter what.

Seems they both had promination or Bello was in the know of the counter coup and hinted Nwankwo.

Sirjamo:
And who the crap was Ironsi that's what taking a bullet for?

If I were Fajuyi, I would have killed him even before Danjuma did. He (Ironsi) provoked the counter coup by refusing to punish those who carried out the earlier coup because they were Igbo.

ezegenigbonine:


OK let say he caused his, what of abiola death,did he caused his also

wink2015:


THE IRONSI MILITARY GOVERNMENT BROUGHT IN UNITARY CONSTITUTION WHICH SUCCESSIVE GOVERNMENT IN NIGERIA INCLUDING THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT REFUSED TO CHANGE OR ABOLISH TILL TODAY.

THERE IS THE GROWING CALL FOR NIGERIA TO BE RESTRUCTURED INTO A TRUE FEDERAL STATE WHERE TRUE FEDERALISM, FISCAL FEDERALISM AND RESOURCE CONTROL IS PRACTISED.

Sharing the crude oil resources of the Niger delta region to idle state is not only oppressive but archaic.
