This post link was shared by Igbochief001..... Pls other shud follow.. He claimed the 1966 coup was to bring awolowo into power...

Let's read



What do you think was wrong with the then government that instigated Nzeogwu to plan the coup?



The first thing was the census . There was no doubt that we were fed with wrong figures ; that was the major defect in the running of government then, Nzeogwu did not like it . Secondly , those who were in government then were not doing well enough . We had mismanagement of public funds, some of them were semi- illiterates . Although some of them meant well for the nation but not all of them . Since Nzeogwu grew up in the North he knew most of them . He could speak Hausa language fluently because he was born there and knew them very well . He didn’ t want a change in government simply because he wanted to kill northerners , it was those who came and supported his effort that did that . Not only that , he ended up putting Ironsi , an Igbo man, as the Head of State . It then looked as if he killed the Hausa soldiers and put an Igbo man there . This was why Brigadier -General Ogundipe did not succeed Ironsi . It was a sergeant that told Ogundipe that they were not going to take orders from him , that they would rather take orders from a captain who was a northerner instead of Ogundipe .

Now, from the same link u sent me, lemme Tutor u... I hope u listen boy. From the link u sent me oo


The coup seemed to have been targeted at military officers from a particular part of Nigeria and it was also tagged , ‘ Igbo Coup ’ . Why ?


It later turned out to be so, although all the six majors who plotted it were Igbos except one — Major Adegboyega from Remo, Ogun State

Igbochief001:

Brother the man is mentally deranged. Anybody that says the coupist wanted to install Awolowo is mad.

Let me bring you back in time and I want you to judge this yourself whether the coupist wanted to install a Yoruba man Awolowo as their motive.

-Awolowo was jailed in 1963

- When the coupist struck, they made no provision to rescue Awolowo from prison. At least they should secure their main man first if that was their plan, or don't you think so?

-In October 1965 (2 month before Jan coup), Azikwe traveled to London on the claim that he was going for a medical treatment of an unknown illness. I have the video with me where he was departing and all the federal minister and Sir Balewa were at the airport to bid him goodbye. The video source is Reuters 1965.

- Before Azikwe left, he handed over to Senate President Nwafor Orizu as acting president. After Jan 1966 coup where other tribe leaders were murdered, Orizu after briefing zik on phone announced in a broadcast that his cabinet will voluntarily transfer power to the armed forces. Then he invited Ironsi to take over government.
The first image is the copy of the gazette where he invited Ironsi.

-Major General Aguiyi-Ironsi then made his own broadcast, accepting the "invitation". The gazette is also attached.

-After the coup. Azikwe flew back from Britain to the country in Feb 25, 1966 after his "Said" Illness has been treated. At this time, his other colleagues were already murdered and Ironsi is already Head of State. A coincidence that he came back just 7-8 weeks after the coup? I also have the video evidence with me.

- The Igbos made sure they are in position to get power irrespective of the coup outcome. If it succeeded, Ironsi take over, If it partially succeeded, Orizu take over in interim until Azikwe arrives. No matter how you spin it, it will still be the Igbos.

Even the Igbos do not deem it fit to release Awo from Prison until Gowon did. I also attach a gazette of Gowon ordering that.

You found a way to bring Awolowo into this nonsense àbí?

Well done


After your ancestors murdered the northerners, how much was in the emir's bank account?
