THERE was NO such agreement between the 1st 1966 Coup Plotters with other
regions' Northern and Western Soldiers to kill THEIR OWN leaders. It was the majorly
Ibo-speaking coup plotters that directly opened fire or KILLED the Northern, Western
and Mid-Western [Okotie-Eboh who was killed was Itsekiri] Political leaders.
They left
their own Eastern or Ibo-speaking leaders alone.



Major Kaduna Nzeogwu who was from Okpanam, in Oshimili North of Delta State actually
accused the other Coup plotters [from the core Ibo East of River Niger] of Tribalism because
the plan was to eliminate the top leaders of all the 4 Regions. I believe Nzeogwu.




Since the early 1980s, I have read a lot of books written by the Nigerian Civil
War veterans such as Gen. Obasanjo, Brig. Gen. Alabi-Isama, Alexander Madiebo[the
2nd commander of the Secessionist Rebels, "Sunset in Biafra" by Captain Elechi Amadi
an Ikwerre man from Port Harcourt who was imprisoned by the rebels for refusing to
fight on their side. With the liberation of Port Harcourt by FEDERAL TROOPS of the
iconic 3rd Marine Commando Division on 26 July 1967, he was RESCUED and he later
fought on the side of Nigeria - and many more, in order to get a bigger picture of all
the events leading right up to the start of the war 6 July 1967 – 15 January 1970].

Thanks so much. I never knew igbo's senseless myhopic tribalism is more evil than I thought. Now, they monumentally destroy the bond of trust that should have hold this wonderful Nation together. It's even more sadder to know now that their senseless myhopic selfish threat to leave Nigeria has been curbed by Hausa counter threat, since they now know they won't be allowed to take other region for fools by still maintaining lands and properties there if they leave.
