Yes, we should blame Yoruba and Fulani for the coup. They killed everybody but forgot to kill their own brothers. This talk of Agunyi Ironsi foiling the coup is nothing but bullshit. It was an Igbo coup the succeeded in installing an Igbo president. So, how did the coup fail? We can only say the coup failed had Irosnsi supported the existing democratic institution by backing the hand over of power to Dipcharima. But instead, he hijacked power and fulfilled the mission of the Igbo coupist.

haywire07:
Ironsi stopped the coup so as to annex power for himself .

We all know in military law that any toile coup plot is punishable by death.
What judgment were given to the Igbo coup plotters?

Mr Iwuanyanwu let's not go down this road again, the coup clearly looks like an Igbo coup because the core masterminders were Igbos.

We would have believed you, if Zik was killed but he decided to have his vacation to the Caribbean around that period also with the fact one of the Masterminders of the coup was his cousin(Ifeajuna). Michael Okpara(the then Eastern Premier)was also not killed and no single gun shot in the East.

They lay Siege in the North and West and killed their Premiers but the original plan was to lay siege in all the three regions and kill their Premiers, why was no single Political or military leader from the East killed?

All fingers are pointing to the fact that, it is an Igbo coup, why did Irons not Court martial the coup plotters. The rule anywhere in the world was to court martial coup plotters and they face firing squad. Instead he kept them in the prison in Enugu.

Ironsi also forced the head of the Care taker head of Govt to surrender power to him and form a Unitary system which every region will have its own military governor under his command.

Bullshit!
So whose coupé was it then, Housa or Yoruba?

That coup was the destabilizing factor that has hunted Nigerians till date.
The Igbos started this whole mistrust among all the other major ethnic groups after massacring highly placed politicians and military men from other ethnic groups but didn't raise even a "koboko" on theirs.

In fact the January 1966 coup was an ethnic cleansing carried out by Igbos in the military against other ethnic group.

Iwuayanwu should stop twisting history to favour his people.

You are right sir I am to blame
