General Joshua Nimyel Dogonyaro is dead

Dogonyaro, a Former Field Commander of ECOMOG, died in Jos on Thursday morning according to family sources.

The retired general was popular for being a member of the ‘langtang Mafia’ during his days in the military. He was also responsible for announcing the coup that removed current President, Muhammadu Buhari from power in 1985.

He read the coup speech that ousted the Buhari military junta and brought in the Ibrahim Bademosi Babangida junta on August 27, 1985. Born in 1940 at Vom Missionary Hospital, Vom, Plateau State, he attended Saint Peter CMS Primary School, Bukuru, from where he gained admission into Boys’ Secondary School, Gindiri.

He later moved to Dental Technology School, Broad Street, Lagos, gaining admission into the Nigerian Defense Academy, Kaduna shortly after.

He was aged 80.

God rest your soul, General Joshua Nimyel Dogonyaro.

Your selfless service to save humanity from evil in 1985 will forever remain evergreen in our memories.

It's quite unfortunate some imbecilic moróns brought back same evil in 2015.

We're still battling same evil till now. The reason we were where we were today.

RIP.
Perhaps he knew the future back then… even though the coup was not for the reason it was staged for.

How I wish you ended him once and for all...

But nevertheless, we celebrate you even in Death...

I know for sure that Buhari Media Cow's (BMC's) scattered all over this forum will do a backflip and go into wild celebration with this news.

The military really had an inglorious past the moment it chose to overthrow democratically elected government and execute subsequent coups. This man once bestrode Nigeria and even west Africa like a collossus yet despite his gallantry as an Officer, his legacy is diminished by his involvement in coup plotting. Condolence to his family. Crime,including coup plotting, does not pay.

May your soul find eternal rest gallant soldier...


How I wish one of these contemporary soldiers will grow an inch size of your balls to at least attempt what you did in the 80's to save the country again but Alas, we are stuck with ikorodo dancers in the name of soldiers.

Nothing in life is really permanent. Every government will expire one day, including this one. Rip to Dogonyaro.

I bet that nobody who witnessed Babangidas coup, and how unpopular it was, ever thought they will praise him for doing so at some point in the future... Everybody thought he simply toppled Nigerias Jerry Rawlings just to become a president..

When these guys chased this man away in 1985. .., the coup was so unpopular because of the so called fight against corruption led by Idiagbon.. So much so, that many hoped Babangida will be toppled and Buhari returned to power..

Take a look at what is happening today and you will know why God doesn't answer some prayers sometimes... It took Babangida months to consolidate power and if he wasn't a shrewd manipulator, he could easily have been eliminated as many people felt he toppled a "progressive, corruption fighting, egalitarian government" of Buhari! How wrong we are!

Those are a generation of bandits and armed robbers that stole the country dry.
They stole tens of billions of dollars of nigerian money.

Presently their children generation are boko haram, bandits, kidnappers, herdsmen terrorists etc.
The other people must reject the core north nonsense.
Enough is enough.

Maybe one basket of money would have only been able to buy an empty basket by now if we had allowed the dullard rule continuously like his Cameroonian counterpart.
