Baselm: Don't mind him. He thinks any soldier can just plot a nationwide brutal coup. Nzeogwu was militarily on another level. There will never be another Nzeogwu in Nigeria's army. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Konquest:Nwankwo actually ..has severally credited safety of his life to Bello...they were particularly very close friends and following the "nzeogwu coup", they had had taken oath that if any were to run into this type of situation they will protect each other especially that the killings in the north at the time was termed ethnic cleansing and the pogrom that followed almost immediately was a retaliatory action against mostly easterners in the north. Some also said that the hate as a consequence of that first coup had spread to the south west and some easterners feeling uncomfortable were beginning to leave for the east ...the military personnel of Igbo extraction also felt very threatened giving reports of how most of their kinsmen were been harrasssed , beaten up and in some cases sacked from offices in the south west.... There are various views to the happenings as I have accounted above but trust me I have read ALMOST all the civil war stories around, published...and unpublished including oral tradition from my Dad, uncles, and some elderly people across north, south, west and eastern nigeria but you will hardly come to the exact same conclusion 2 Likes 1 Share |

winj3: I'm not trying to exonerate Ironsi cos he's one of the many reasons Igbos are suffering today. However, Gowon outrightly caused and started the war. |

superlightning: Fck, these people can't read. Ironsi did everything to pacify the northerners. He placed them in higher positions - heck, his ADC was even a northerner. However, all those was a mistake. He would have faced them tit for tat. |

IkonBee: A she-male accusing me of being gay. Lol. Stop spreading your ignorance in the blogosphere. Those tribalistic coup plotters only wanted to grab power and confirm zik's prophecy of Igbo ruling Africa. It only backfired. Ironsi was also carrying out his Igbo agenda by filling every position with igbos and not executing the coup plotters. Saying they wanted to install awolowo is moronic. |

daleehat: Ironsi killed himself because he was foolishly acting like detribalized goon. I guess it was not the same TY Danjuma who spoke about Fulani herdsmen killing his people in Taraba State. He fought to enthrone Fulani the leaders of Nigeria. What a Caliphate slave. 1 Like |

JuanDeDios:Nzeogwu was not fighting a regional war like Ojukwu, even Northerners followed him to kill the Sardauna, he was loved within the rank and file of the army including the officers. He was fighting against the terrible government and he has successfully captured Northern Nigeria and even Northern top ranking officials have pledged their allegiances after he stated his cause. The coup was initially celebrated across Nigeria until Ironsi and co bleeped up. He already took control of Kaduna, including the newly formed Nigerian air force, so technically he had more military force than Ironsi had in the south. |

schoolboij: Homoerotic stark illiterate! Mooron, Nzeogwu the major coup plotter is not even Igbo - so I wonder why you're spreading misinformation. Tell us the positions Ironsi filled with Igbos. Many of those positions you might want to talk about - were already occupied by Igbos. The coup was executed so to install awolowo. And, your dumbass was asking me gibberish.

Baselm:Bolded is not true and Nzeogwu had no single soldier. Ok, he had six or so. I see you share Nzeogwu's delusions. His delusion was believing that since he was fighting a just cause, everyone would be on his side. I guess his background in intelligence gave him that arrogance all inteligence people have that they're free to do anything they like since they're fighting for the greater good. What he did not reckon with was the ethnic factor and the fact that his coup would end up being termed an "Ibo coup". He did not plot an Igbo coup but he carried out an Igbo coup - that's how it was seen. Nzeogwu was such a poor judge of human character he did not see how a coup carried out by officers almost entirely from the Igbo stock with victims mostly from the north and SW would be seen. And then he took control of Kaduna - which Kaduna? The coup was not welcome all over the country. What erupted in the north after the coup was seething rage - what with folks from the east bragging and singing that "Hausas are crying". Why do you think the pogroms happened? Read up on the matter. Hardly anything is true in your post - northern soldiers did not help Nzeogwu in his coup and none pledged allegiance to him. Being in Kaduna did not mean he had control of soldiers in Kaduna. You can't fight without soldiers. 1 Like |

IkonBee: Yeah I'm interested in this WW2 part. The smart guys here already know the genuine story of the Nigerian Civil War. Hitler was actually not perfectly ready for WW2 but he had to start the war on that day in sept 1939 because of the following reasons: 1. Prevailing tensions his hatred/killing of Jews within Germany was already causing, and he was hellbent on bringing in the large numbers of Jews in Poland for extermination. 2. The allies, including the soviets were already speeding up preparations for the inevitable war. So Hitler had to act fast. Hitler needed at least two years to finish the long range ballistic missiles which could impact America from Europe, but time was against him. Anybody with a better argument can counter me. |
