There is something I dont understand. In every coup ever conducted in Nigeria, the ring leaders usually come from the same ethnic group or region.

The Nzeogwu coup had Ifeajuna, Anuforo, Okafor.

The Murtala Mohammed coup had Garuba, Jalo,Buhari, Abacha. Mainly Hausas and Northerners

Dimkas coup had Gomwalk, Bisalla, Wyas and his fellow middlebeltans


However, only the first coup has an ethnic name. You will never hear anyone call Murtala Mohammeds coup a Hausa coup. You will never hear Dimkas coup refered to as a middle belt coup.

Why?

It is deceitfulness which is the hallmark of the cesspit called Nigeria. I cannot wait any longer to witness the disintegration of the colonial contraption.

We should concentrate on building democracy in Nigeria. A Nigeria devoid of hatred and tribalism.

You are the one living in denial in the face of multiple facts.
Coup plotters > 98% Igbos
Igbo casualties <1%
None Igbo casualties >99%
How do you sleep peacefully at night with this your type of mind?

igbodefender, abi what do you call yourself, respond to the above.

Igbos need to pay restitution to Nigerians for the cowardly act in Jan 1966 of their thugs in army uniform

simplycarro:


igbodefender, abi what do you call yourself, respond to the above.

The 2 military coups of 1966 have many things no Nigerian is proud of, but we must not forget that it was the politicians that caused it in the first place. Remember the violence of 1965. Without that would the military have had the excise to strike?

It is a lesson to civilians to always avoid overheating the polity.

Nigeria as configured will never see democracy. Democracy is a complex system which can only strive in a place where people are united in harmony and sincerity.

I'm sure he spend more time on NL than he spends on his own forum.

It makes sense. He's looking for crowd for his website. He is currently the only member of his forum , and he refer to himself in the plural to make it look like he has an actual following .

That is how the jobless dilector started, now he is the mazi, igwe, and prophet of his people.

igbodefender:
Most of the officers in the army then were Igbos, so any coup would look like an Igbo coup.

If a country is not officially involved in an attack, even if it is citizens are, do you then accuse the country of being involved? No. So why do that in the case of Igbo ethnic group?

This is not a question of 'looking like". It was an igbo coup, pure and simple. Your attempt to rewrite history, an igbo tendency, holds no water and won't convince people with sound upstairs.
Nzeogwu killed Sardauna in Kaduna, Ifeajuna tipped of Okpara to go into hiding instead of killing him, Nwaobosi killed Akintola in Ibadan, Zik connived to hand over to Nwafor Orisu who later handed over to Aguiyi Ironsi. There were reports of silent ethnic cleansing being carried out by igbo officers in the army.
@Op, this sort of exercise in futility will never help your course but will only be counter-productive by inflaming pations against the igbo. Have you just woken up since 1970 ?
Stop playing on peoples' intelligence or the backlash may overwhelm you.
This futile attempt is nothing but arrant nonsense.

OAFMods:
With Kaduna Nzeogwu killing ahmadu bello, Ifeajuna killed Tafa balewa and Nwaobosi killing SL akintola. These daredevil criminals are indeed not Igbos
OP is this a part of history your Igbo lectures are too ashamed to lecture you on or what ?

Gbam! Next thing they will say Nzeogwu is not igbo but from Delta State so he is not igbo, but when you say Okonjo iweala is not igbo, they will go over the roof, okay Nzeogwu is not Igbo granted for the sake of argument what about Ifeajuna and Nwaobosi, they must be from Benue, unserious fellows.

Dedetwo:


Let us for a moment articulate the above crap as half truth, how many coups in Nigeria has been branded ethnical coup after January 15, 1966? It is a show lack of human intellect to cite one coup in Niger-Area as ethnical. Something is inhuman with such picture.

Nigerians didn't need to attach any ethnic colouration because Northern soldiers were removing Northern leaders. Counter Wat I said with facts if you have any.

In the military, it is a tradition not to voulnteer advice except it is asked for. Even though you are a civilian, you would do well to follow that tradition.

And those subsequent coup plotters overthrown or killed who? IGBO?

shut up !!! It is Igbo coup .

Kaduna nzeogwu killed ahmadu bello in his residence

Emmanuel ifeajuna molest tafa balewa before killing him

Nwaobosi killed akintola in his residence after shoot out.

This re the 3 major actors of 1966 coup and their actions justified the tag Igbo coup.

Guy shut ur mouth and learn something.
Whatever is wrong with the youth of this generation?
You dnt want to learn you just prefer being spoon fed.
Have you read the book "Why We Struck"
please do...it's very important, there you would know that who actually masterminded the coup was a Yoruba man.
He is even alive right now.
He wrote the book to alight all that transpired and the reason for the coup.
It was never an igbo coup as even Ojukwu and Obasanjo then was told about the coup when they were still planning it, but they decline.
It was a military coup by some group of soldiers who could not stand the way corruption and nepotism was the order of the day.
The beauty of the first coup was that it was not politically motivated neither was it ethnically motivated.
The reprisal attack from the hausas against the Ibos happened because the hausas worshiped Ahmadu Bello...just as they are still doing today...praying for Allah to bless their alhajis and rich men so they can be providing for them. It was just a mindset that it was an Ibo coup. It never was.

igbodefender:
You have a point here, but as a Zikist I have to show the light believing that then the people will find the way. The January 1966 coup was never an Igbo coup because oha na eze ndi Igbo never held a meeting to do coup.

But yorubas are betrayal because Afenifere or whatever held meeting to betray Igbo?


Mr man,stop biting yourself with your venom.

Whoever said Afenifere held meeting to betray Igbo. You are the one saying that, but even then I still doubt you.

Exactly. It was a military coup. Since when did Igbos become Nigeria's military? Thanks for that.

But they rejoiced and celebrated the killing of northern leaders. Hypocrites...

igbodefender:
Keep quiet!!!! It's not Igbo coup! All the Igbos that were killed in the pogrom did not join the Army to do coup!

The problem with the youth is that most of them did history and even read books but will still want to be deceived.
To be intelligent is simply to study and understand, then determine the actuality of your study.

vicadex07:

Yes they celebrated...
but the fact was that the northern leaders under Almadu Bello was very corrupt and his authority was all over the country and not just the north areas.
The main reason why the hausas called it an Ibo coup is because they worship their leaders like they do up till now.
As you can see no northerner has ever condemned Buhari for any reason.... even when most of the entire populace is against him as we are being ruled by a sick president and all that.
Alright why didn't the Yorubas protested against the Ibos or killed Ibos in Yoruba land like the Hausas did.

So u expect the coup plotters to call all Igbos, and inform them of the coup?

After the killing of Sardauna, and Co, why did the whole Igbo nation erupt in jubilation, even across Northern cities, prdating T-shirts . Releasing a song, and depicting the killing with the St George, and d dragon picture. .....

So don't change history, the counter coup is a Northern coup to avenge the death of its leaders, so don't try to change anything. .....

Don't come, and justify that here, since most are Igbo, y didn't they take part in the counter coup?

Because we are more civilized. Apart from that igbos didnt use the murder of yoruba leaders to taunt us like dey did to the hausas.
