The man who killed them is still alive and kicking. In fact, he's a billionaire enjoying his life to the fullest.

Are you sure about this? That he is enjoying life to the fullest? Money does not necessarily translate into joy or a good name.

General Aguiyi-Ironsi and Colonel Fajuyi.

They were among the thousands brutally murdered in the Hausa-Fulani counter coup of July 1966 eventually culminating in civil war the following year.

Rest on soldiers. You will always be remembered.

Thats the thing I will never understand. General TY Danjuma who killed Ironsi and Fajuyi is still walking about a free man and still being praised by the same people who are trying to immortalise the Palm tree where he commited doubble murder

TY Danjuma..was a military man who only obeyed orders.There is a chain of command.

I wonder how he ll feel after reading this story. The guy is messenger of death. He was also actively involved in the murder of Mama Ransom-Kuti.

I am yet to see another soldier / statesman after Fajuyi. If he were alive, that war war would not have been. Immortalise the spot of his death but that will not do. I have since immortalised him in my heart since I read about him. Rest on officer.

Ironsi is an old fool...

Aguiyi Ironsi Rest in pieces...

Aguiyi ironsi appointment...

Gown... Chief of Army staff..

Mallam Hamsad Amadu .. Ironsi private secretary.

made lieutenant Sani bello his ADC...


Major General Johnson Thomas Umunakwe Aguiyi Ironsi you brought this marginalization upon Igbos...

Those uncircumcised Animals killed you cuz you surrounded your self with Enemies

After your death Gowon your Army Chief of staff took over and killed 3million of your people.. during the war..


Aguiyi you are dead but Gowon is still alive..

I am a proud Yoruba boy, either hausas or igbos we strive to protect our guest, we are the true body of AFRICANISM. Can somebody tell me that saying. Even at the point of death, in front of a gun he shivers not and history paid less homage to him. RESPECT FAJUYI

Fajuyi offered to die with aguyi ironsi despite the fact that the coup ploters were only after igbo men. Another historical fact for the daft ppl from that region who come hr daily to cry over how they are hated by afonja

I almost shed tears when i read the line where Fajuyi said "something like "If u must kill my visitor then kill me along". That is the exact same way all history books have put it. So it could not have been made up.

Do u know that if not for that singular act by Fajuyi the Igbos would have believed he had a hand in Ironsi's death?
Fajuyi paid the price of brotherhood between Igbos and Yorubas.

I always feel bad when i see the present generation of Igbo and Yoruba youths calling themselves all sorts of names. It is a big shame. When we should be coming together to fight our common enemies?

TY Danjuma and his brothers killed two of our illustrious sons who were what our youths are not today.

How many Yoruba young men can die for an Igbo young man and vice versa?

Fulani herdsmen are ravaging our communities here down south and all we can do is to insult and mock which ever region was affected.

I am really disappointed in our youths of today. Tribalism was not as much as it is among youths of today. Growing up most of my friends were Yorubas. And Yoruba muslims for that matter. We could do anything for each other.

Honestly, dnt know where we are heading in this country.

when the going get tough, the tough get going. that's the definition of fajuyi a proud Yoruba officer that sacrifice life for an Igbo officer

yet people still hate that region. you can't just but like a Yoruba region if you are doing your medical check-up frequently
