All we want you to tell us is: Who and who pulled the triggers that killed Sardauna, Tafa Balewa, Akintola, Okotie Eboh.....?
If Nigeria wins a match will the cup go to the tribe of those who scored the goals? What stopped other tribes from pulling the trigger on the targets assigned to them?

Point of correction, kaduna Nzeogwu is not igbo. He is from delta state, born and raised in the North.

ThankGod for social media
Kaduna Nzeogwu was Igbo. Full fledged Igbo man. His village, Okpanam, is an Igbo land till forever.

Where did you get the fake names you published as the coup plotter ?

If the coup was not an Igbo coup why was the Yoruba Hausa premier killed but Igbo premier was not killed ?

Why was the Hausa prime minister Tafawa Balewa killed but the Igbo ceremonial president not killed ?

You can save you father the cork bullshit about Azikwe travelling out of the country n shove down whatever lame excuse down your mother's throat why the Igbo premier of the Igbo region was also not killed but the Hausa n Yoruba leaders were killed successfully with Igbo tying their dead bodies to a vehicle and dragging it around town.

So all Igbos had a meeting where they collectively decided to organize a coup against Nigeria and kill the leaders of other tribes, abi?

Stop dragging this nonsense. You guys just dig yourselves deeper into the hole.

Who led and tried to cover up with novice. The goal and consequences of the coup was louder than your foolish coverup.

Your children are still at it.

The OP is just a joker who is out to misinform as usual.

The coup was led by Emmanuel Ifeajuna. The other core plotters include:

Kaduna Nzeogwu
Don Okafor
Onwutuegwu
Chris Anuforo
Wale Ademoyega
Humphrey Chukwuka
Nwaobosi
Ben Gbulie
Orji.
The others are simply junior officers who took orders from their seniors without knowing what the event was all about.

True

It is often said that lies told over and over again without being countered, tends to come to be held as true. But as always, truth always catches up with it.

For over 50 years, some section of Nigerians have made it a point of duty to reinforce the narrative that the 1966 coup was an Igbo coup because it was led by Kaduna Nzeogwu, an Igbo man. Even though this same people claim that Nzeogwu’s village and town is not Igboland, and that the rest of Nzeogwu’s kinsmen are not Igbos; a narrative they have vigorously and fiercely pursued and have reinforced for decades.

But with their monopoly on the media now beginning to wane due to the advent of Social Media, their control of narrative of events, which they have often distorted to suit their primordial biases, is fading , and a more balanced narrative that captures the wholistic happenings of what transpired is now being told.

So, in regards to the 1966 coup which these elements have hitherto painted as an Igbo coup, continually giving only the names of the 7 Igbo officers who participated in the ill fated coup while leaving out other officers from other tribes who equally participated actively in the coup.

So, find here the full list of the coup plotters and their tribes:-

1. Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu(Igbo)
2. Major Adewale Ademoyega (Yoruba) author of "Why we struck"
3. Capt. G. Adeleke(Yoruba)
4. Maj. Ifeajuna(Igbo)
5. Lt. Fola Oyewole(Yoruba) author of "The reluctant rebel"
6. Lt. R. Egbiko(Esan)
7. Lt. Tijani Katsina(Hausa/Fulani)
8. Lt. O. Olafemiyan(Yoruba)
9. Capt. Gibson Jalo(Bali)
10. Capt. Swanton(Middle Belt)
11. Lt. Hope Harris Eghagha (Urhobo)
12. Lt. Dag Warribor(Ijaw)
13. 2nd Lt. Saleh Dambo(Hausa)
14. 2nd Lt. John Atom Kpera (Tiv).


There you have it. But I’m sure that apart from Nzeogwu and Ifeajuna, you probably never heard of the names of the other guys and the question is why? And it is because some elements deliberately chose to tell a one sided story to further their ill agenda against a particular tribe and people; and after over 50 years the war ended, this same people are still hellbent on selling this same old and erroneous and fallacious narrative for the same primordial agenda.

So, I ask you, having seen the full list of the coup plotters, do you still think it was an Igbo coup?

And if your answer to the above question is “Yes”.

Then tell us why Murtala Muhammed and Buhari coups were not Fulani coups,

Tell us why Buka Suka Dimka coup was not a Plateau coup,

Tell us why IBB coup was not an Hausa coup,

Tell us why Gideon Orkar’s coup was not a Tiv coup,

Tell us why Abacha coup was not a Kanuri coup,

And only the one led by Nzeogwu was given that ethnic label and reinforced till today?


Penguin is a bird of reason!

I counted 4 Yoruba and 2 Igbo up there. There were more contingent Yorubas than any other tribe mentioned. Mathematically, how is this not a Yoruba coup?.

Why was it Tagged " Igbo Coup "

List the names of all those who killed the Victims of the Coup and nothing else

29 People were killed in the Coup

List the names of the killers one by one

Why are we even having this discussion

Didn't Ironsi refuse to announce the names of the dead

He knew the Northern Soldiers would roast him if he had done so

The Jan 1966 Coup was an ethnic cleansing operation that they tagged a Revolution

They were all Igbos with Ironsi as mastermind..
As you know, you'll always find one dumb Yoruba in their midst just like we see dumb Yorubas rooting for Obi in the recent elections..the dumb Ademoyega didn't know the game plan was to kill prominent Northerners and Yoruba leaders without touching a single Igbo.

The Northern counter coup months after killed so many Igbos in the Army including Ironsi, the Head of State and was infact said to be bloodier than the earlier Igbo coup.. Northerners gave it to them wotowoto, wotoporous killings they never recovered from till date. Docile Yorubas were there speaking grammar with animals.

You can't change history by hiding the actual Coup plotters,and displaying names of soldiers not even privy to the main Plot.

Background. In August 1965, a group of Army majors.

Emmanuel Ifeajuna,
Timothy Onwuatuegwu,
Chris Anuforo
Don Okafor
Humphrey Chukwuka
Adewale Ademoyega

began plotting a coup d'état against incumbent Prime Minister Abubakar Balewa.

These are the perpetrators of the Coup, and it's an IGBO COUP, why did your forefathers killed leaders from the North,and South, and leaders from the East like Ironsi,Zik etc suddenly disappeared or went on vacation,and we're not killed ??

Why is it that it's an IGBO Man that too Over Power immediately??

Why did he refused to prosecute the Coup plotters, rather moved them to Enugu,and continue paying them Salary??

Why did he remove Power from the regions,and centralized it ??

Why are the Igbos jubilating the killings,to the point of mocking the Northerners, labeling bread to jeer the Northerners,and even Releasing a Song to Mock the Northerners??

You do t want to be remorseful for your crimes, fine, lwt us hear word, the people you offended have moved on already, stop crying foul...
