Hello

Okay

Honestly he was too confident in the people he had around him. TY Danjuma betrayed him and choose the side of one North. Nigeria hasn't changed much since then though, heavy ethnic tension

Everythinggood:
Aguiyi ironsi, the fearless lion from eastern region

...and the major cause of Igbos past and current but unfortunate situation.

Foolish man, allowed tribal sentiments ruin his judgement, he should have killed that drug addict Nzeogwu and his killer gang that killed Sardauna and Ahmadu Bello, he could have saved Nigeria from counter coups and ethnic division. Very poor leader he was.

PARADIZEPRIEST:
THE 1966 EVENT IS PURELY ACTIONS OF INDIVIDUALS IN MILITARY THAT CAUSED DISORGANISATION OF NIGERIA UNITY BY ALL TRIBES IN THE MILITARY IN 1966. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH TRIBE,IS PUREly AND MILITARY QUEST FOR GOVERNANCE POWER TO BCOM EXCESSIVELY RICH.WHO ARE the EXCESSIVELY RICH IN MAIJA TODAY? ALL THE MILITARY HEADS E.G IBB, GOWAN, OBJ ,DANJUM,IKEWACHUKWU,MAWA,ABACHA,DIYA, BUHA,YARADUAS,ETC ALL OF THEM HAVE STREETS NAMED AFTER THEM ALLOVER NIGERIA. MANY IBOS IN GOVT WERE VICTIMS INCLUDONG OKOTIEBOR. It must nEva happen again ever.

Oga, go and read your history book.

TINUBU URCHINS ARE MARRIED TO LIES...




BLINDED BY HATRED.




TRIBALISM EATEN DEEP INTO THEIR HEART.



WITH RELIGIOUS BIGOTRY, RENDERED THEM BRAIN DEAD.



GOWON REPLACED REGIONALISM WITH UNITARY FEDERAL SYSTEM WITH THE FIRST 12 STATES HE CREATED.



IRONSI DIED LESS THAN 6 MONTHS IN OFFICE, THEY NEVER GAVE HIM A CHANCE TO DO ANYTHING, AND THAT INCLUDES LAWFULLY PROSECUTING THOSE ARRESTED FOR COUP.

The Tinubu urchins are still spreading propaganda that Ironsi introduced unitary government. When Ironsi was killed we still had regional Governors (Military In charge). Ojukwu in the East, Adekunle Fajuyi in the West, Hassan in the north and David Ejoor in Midwest.

It was Gowon that scrapped it.

The moderators have showns how biased they are towards others candidates too.

He was a dummy who basically stopped the coup that would have killed this monstrosity of a country in its cradle. At a time even the northerners wanted to secede.

He then made the fatal mistake of entrusting his own personal security to the northerners when he became CIC, naively thinking it will help curry favor with them and unite the country not knowing they were itching for revenge and nothing less. Well he learnt his lesson less than 6 months later.

What are you talking about? Zik contested and won the majority and would have become the Western premier before the infamous cross carpeting. A Fulani was the first mayor of Enugu, so that unification has always been there. What we are talking about was the abolishing of semi autonomy the regions enjoyed before Gowon created 12 states.

That's a lie!

Zik won no election in the SW. The SW delegate didn't vote for him. Why would Azikiwe want to colonise SW when the British left the autonomy of each region ruling themselves? Does that make sense to your brain?

Which Fulani was mayor of Enugu? Tinubu was given a chieftaincy title in Niger, does that mean he's now their ruler?

Yorubas love twisting history to suit them at a time.



To them, Tinubu developed Lagos and did all the roads done by Fashola and Ambode because he made them Lagos Governors but to the same shameless lying urchins, Tinubu should not be held responsible for Buhari's 7years of failure after he used lies, false propaganda and deceit to deceive Yorubas into helping to rig Buhari in as President in 2015 and 2019

SmartPolician:
This picture just reminds me that all will live and die. Only God knows where they are now. Therefore, for the few days you have on earth, use it to achieve something positive. Purge yourself of hate, tribalism and evils.

It's better you believe that heaven exists, live a good life and later find out that you were deceived than not believe that heaven exists and later discover that it does.

Brother the world ends not. It’s better you don’t believe than you believe and die believing. Just die happily and that’s all.

How time flies ..

Anyway

It was Ironsi who scrapped it while zoning to the central with him controling it. Sink that into your skull.

JUNIOR OFFICERS FROM ACROSS NIGERIA.



YORUBA WERE INVOLVED.



IRONSI SUFFERED BECAUSE OF THEM FOR SOMETHING, HE DID NOT KNOW.



IRONSI WAS A NIGERIAN AND HE SURROUNDED HIMSELF WITH OTHER TRIBES, WHO BETRAYED AND MURDERED HIM.

Thank God for social media and internet technology because before the emergence of social media, Yorubas used Lagos Ibadan expressway lying media houses and their brown envelope journalism to lie so much against the Igbos to the extent they made other tribes believe their twisted facts and hated Igbos until now that learned and much wiser Igbos like us can now counter their Brazing lies with raw facts for every Nigerian to read and know.




They said Ironsi abolished regional government system yet the same Ironsi appointed Ojukwu as Eastern Governor, Fajuyi as Western Governor and the others.



They always intentionally remove the evil role Awolowo played in destroying Nigeria's regional government by collaborating with Gowon to create 12 states and appointed military Governors of the 12 states which started the current federal system being operated today.

The major thing was Ironsi master minded the coup as such, no one can say who exactly killed Balewa.

Biodun556, the killing of Balewa wasn't the cause of the Civil War. It was the cause of the June 1966 counter coup that led to the death of Ironsi.

The civil war was because Yakubu Gowon was made the head of state instead of Ogundipe a Naval officer who was his senior in the military rank and files. Ojukwu felt it was not right and couldn't condone the cheating as such, called for a cessation of Eastern Nigeria from the entity Nigeria.

toobusy:
Johnson Thomas Umunnakwe Aguiyi-Ironsi was actually assassinated by a group of mutinous Northern Nigerian officers and men who were led by Major Murtala Mohammed and included Captain Theophilus Danjuma, Lieutenant Muhammadu Buhari, Lieutenant Ibrahim Babangida and Lieutenant Sani Abacha in a revolt against his government in what was popularly called the July counter-coup.... BUHARI'S hatred for the igbo's didn't start today,one of the reasons they removed history from the Nigeria school calendar,these are men worthy of celebration by those who really know their root....JUST like our father who fought queen Elizabeth and his British empire that includes Nigeria told us everything about the genocide they committed in igbo land,we shall also tell our children everything.

You no do government? it was a counter coup that took ironso life, the previous coup had killed military leaders and tafawa balawa which was orchestrated military men mostly of eastern decent..
And he ironsi failed to bring the coupters to book hence the counter coup

Even some Northerners were involved.

Point is Ironsi masterminded it with Azikiwe.

The leaders of the coup plotters were also Igbos too.

Ademoyega even said he didn't know a lot about the coup because the main leaders always had their meeting without him at times. Ademoyega was one of the naive stupid Yoruba brainwashed.

It was Igbo coup. The main leaders were Igbos! Every regional leaders were killed except the Igbo leaders.
