Obasanjo wouldn't have been swept away. Reason being that both Danjuma and Obj were told about the coup by the British weeks before it happened. Murtala was not trusted by the British because he kept telling them he would like the north to be detached from the south. The British warned him several times that the north would suffer if he did but he didn't give them any assurance. The British didn't want to wake up one day to see that the country is gone. So they had to instigate the army to take him out

I know some people will argue about this but let's leave it at that

Not true. No one knew abiut the coup. After the successful counter coup, obasanjo was sore afraid for his life. Danjuma persuaded obasanjo to stay on as head of state, while he will remain as army chief 3rd in command to confront the high ranking military chiefs including governors etc, he then asked Yaradua to be withdrawn from oversees training in either London or Washington, Yaradua was too far junior to him, obasanjo and other state governors, he was identified as he was the most senior military guy from hausa fulani extraction to appease the lost of another hausa fulani (Murtala), he was subsequently given double promotion and installed as Supreme HQRs, the 2nd in command to obasanjo as it is not a professional but a political post to avoid him coming in contact with senior military guys that were his senior

Oyibo thought we are ONE - Nigeria.
They didn't know that each of our tribes hate each other so much, that we are not ONE anything.

Oyibo never thought we were one, they amalgamated the various tribes and North and south for administrative purposes. They gave US the opportunity to separate in the run of to independence and actually left the country in three semi autonomous units, it was the igbos led by zik that locked us into one Nigeria by refusing to inset the secession clause into the constitution and it was the igbo general Ironsi that unified the country with decree 34 of 1966.

I said I don't want to argue about it. I just want to correct one thing you wrote up there. Shehu Yara'dua was not the most senior military guy from Hausa Fulani tribe as at then, Mohammadu Buhari was his senior.

Buhari, commissioned Second Lieutenant 1963.
Sehu Yara'dua was commissioned Second Lieutenant 1964.

One of Nigeria Problem

Dont know the politics within. Yaradua was the most senior at that time, he was col and was given double promotion to makeup for the office of supreme headquarters...

wirinet:

And you have any evidence he looted? I am even yet to hear of any allegations against Danjuma - nationally or internationally.
Now, what do you have to say of General Azubuike Ihejirika? How come you guys have never made noise about him?

So because he was not caught he's not a thief, lol for Nija everyone na saint o until levels casts, get that

The politics was that Obasanjo rejected Buhari as Second in command. Obj told Danjuma he would never accept to be Head of State if Buhari was nominated to be his Deputy but he can give him other appointment. I don't want to use the exact words he used to describe Buhari.

Danjuma had to recalled Shehu from abroad and gave him double promotion

Ok, i wasn't privy to that. But obasanjo wanted to run under the pretense he was too close to Muritala, but Danjuma alleviated his fears and asked him to continue as the commander in chief of the armed forces

ogbonti:
This is the man who killed his Boss , thrn Head Of State Maj. Gen Johnson Thomas Umunnakwe Aguiyi-Ironsi in cold blood. He was Chief Security Officer to him, so sad the British are honoring him for a job well done 10 years later

It was British expatriate lecturers in Zaria, who incited the Northern masses against the Igbos. During the Araba riots in May/June 1966, the British lecturers conveyed northerners in their private cars to different locations, where the Igbos were hiding.

Obasanjo knew about the coup yet, he was hiding in a hospital ambulance during the coup.

Obasanjo is just an ordinary opportunist. While TY Danjuma and Babangida were moving troops to quell Dimka's forces, Obasanjo Murtala's deputy, lived in a hospital ambulance

Obj is not what the media portrays him to be, him dey fear die. Danjuma na the real deal

Of course he was given this treatment when he is making England billions daily, why wouldn’t they...

Many African army rogues were grandly rewarded for betraying and enslaving their people for colonialist

Every intelligent person knows that Obasanjo is a seasoned coward. He lost 1000 men in one hour during the Biafran war.

PolymathDave:

PolymathDave:
help me with the names.

Brigadier Alexander Madiebo (rtd) - The Nigerian Revolution And The Biafran War. Bradigeir Hilary Njoku (rtd) - A Tragedy Without Heroes.

Both authors served in the Nigerian and Biafran armies as senior officers. They commanded the Biafran army at different times. They were part of the first generation of Nigerian army officers. Both books talk about the events before and during the civil war.

What have you to say about the man who killed his own friend Ahmadu Bello in cold blood without any provocation and ordered the killing of his own Boss Brigadier Zakariya Maimalari in a very treacherous manner.
Then what do you say about the man who refused to try the traitors?

If you want to open old wounds, then you too and your people will not be spared.

Shorrop there, what have you to say about the man whose government ordered the trial of a host of opposition AG leaders, and jailed a good number of them with the late sage Chief Awolowo for 10 years without any evidence of treason? Creating caustic reactions in the west by rigging the 1964 regional elections to favor Ladoke Akintola''s UNDP, also declaring a state of emergency in the west thereby imposing a figure head administrator, Dr. Majekodunmi? If you want old wounds to be reopened, I will gladly tell u how the injury that led to the wounds came about....Agbaya!

TY Danjuma who should rotting in jail for the murder of Aguiyi Ironsi and FA Fajuyi
