Okay, what then did he mean by expressions like 'forner regions, abolished, National military government, Nigeria ceases to become what is known as a federation, etc'? This is the simple question you lots have been avoiding like a plague.

See he renamed the regions and called collection of provinces with a provincial administrator. We have argued this before so go back and refresh your memory. Ironsi didn't abolish regions he still kept the regions, I will not go back to something I have clarified before. So Oga go and rest tour plans have failed.

They have smuggled in even some names of Hausa, Yoruba and Fulani army officers just to create a false appearance of national spread for the coup plot whereas these Hausa and Yoruba officers were the ones Nzeogwu ordered from training ground to Ahmadu Bello's residence without them having any prior knowledge of their mission there at that odd hour of the night.

Haaaaa so Major Adekoyega was smuggled, so Lt Fola Oyewole was smuggled, so Capt Ganiyu Adeleke was smuggled and so was Lt Dag Waribor.

Bros I never believe you will go so low as to lie in your desperation to push an agenda.

Do you know that they've made several attempts to edit and expunge the names of their criminal coupist brothers from the page in Wikipedia?

The lead are as listed below in order of rank for the record and documentation for posterity:
Maj. Kaduna Nzeogwu **
Maj. Don Okafor - Igbo
Kaj. Timothy Onwutuegwu - Igbo
Maj. Chris Anuforo - Igbo
Maj. Wale Ademoyega **
Maj. Humphrey Chukwuka - Igbo
Capt. Emmanuel Nwaobosi - Igbo
Capt. Ben Gbulie - Igbo
Capt.Ogbu Orji - Igbo

Oga calm down please these non Igbo plotters that were among tell me their tribes.

Major Adewale Ademoyega
Lt Tom Kpera
Lt Dag Waribor
Captain Adeleke

Please if you are sincere and you are not spreading lies with an ethnic agenda, I dare you to mention their tribes.

Oga this is fast becoming stale. Arthur Unegbe is from which tribe? If he is Igbo then there is nothing like ethnic cleansing here. You dude, are the one that is shallow. Look I know this game I would not trade insults with you, but if continue with this, I would get the mods to ban you.

Funny how you can't seem to stand the same bitter pill you and your kinsmen dish out on others every day on the Internet.

Nzeogwu an insider granted an interview with Ejindu in which he disclosed that they were just five in the plot. Likewise, most books written by authors who knew the details make it clear that there were just five majors in the plot. Your revisionist tales are dead on arrival.

Okay, tell us what role these so-called non-Igbo members of the plot played in the execution. Who did Adewale Adegboyega gun down on that night? Which politician or army officer was assigned to Lt. Dag Waribor or Capt. Ganiyu Adeleke to kill? Why was it that all the target politicians and officers were assigned to only the Igbo members of the plot to kill? Or are you suggesting that all these Yoruba and Northern co-plotters were watching while the Igbo members shared the targets among themselves alone and didn't question it? Each time you write you further exposu how shallow your reasoning is.

That still doesn't answer the simple question. Did the group of provinces operate exactly like the previous regions? If yes, then why change their name or rearrange them? Isn't that stupidity? Who were the premiers of each of the groups of provinces? Were they autonomous or reporting to the center as Ironsi commanded in his broadcast? Did they own and control their public services like the previous regions did?

And he also confirmed that the coup d'etat wasn't an Igbo one
How about that?!
How about his claim that they planned to release Awo and make him the PM?!
Don't be selective with your 'truth'


According to the coup plotters, their major objective behind the coup was to create a strong center in order to promote nationalism over tribalism.
Now, recall that Awolowo hated centralized system of government with a passion hence had even before independence written books and made public speechless on why Nigeria must never experiment with a strong government at the center. It was therefore public knowledge that Awolowo hated unitary system and any form of it and favored regionalism for which a lot of Igbos termed him an irredeemable tribalist. Now how then could a group of very educated young officers mostly from the tribe which perceived Awolowo as father of tribalism in Nigeria have plotted a coup aimed at eradicating tribalism but ironically preferred that very tribalistic Awolowo to come and head such a government?

You can see that the theory that the coup was to install Awolowo in power does not hold water logically.

See the special branch gave summary of the circumstances leading to the coup. They stated that in 1965 that officers were dissatisfied with the things going on in the country planned the coup. Now that alone has a lot of inaccuracies owing to rhe fact that Ademoyega in his book stated that himself and ifeajuna conceived the idea of a coup in 1965 and Ifeajuna recruited Okafor who was the brigade of guards commander while Ademoyega recruited Anuforo. Nzeogwu was brought in the later stages of planning. Where I see the special branch report as accurate was the events of 1966 in terms of the killing and the same special branch also confirmed the coup took place in the east.

Ifeajuna never sold any dummy to Ademoyega. Ademoyega was heavily involved in the coup and was a co mastermind of that coup with ifeajuna. Ademoyega proudly wrote about his role and attempted to justify the coup in his book"why we struck"

Whatever Ademoyega wrote in his book will only be a reflection of his interactions with Ifeajuna, who made him believe that he, Ademoyega is the only one, he's discussing the coup with.

Meanwhile, he had actually been discussing and recruiting others into the coup plot before he (ifeajunna) met up with Ademoyega to discuss their coup plot..

Same way Ademoyega swallowed the lie that the objective of the coupists was to release Awo from prison and make him the PM however Ifeajuna had no activity scheduled for Calabar where Awo was then, incarcerated.

Adegboyega was simply fooled with the Awolowo-to-be-installed theory in order to convince him to join the plot since he was a very strong Awoist despite being a member of the Army.

Ademoyega was recruited into the plot very late just to give the coup a false non-Igbo appearance. If it was really not aimed at entrenching Igbo hegemony over Nigeria, then Ademoyega should have been assigned to kill at least one Igbo politician or army officer in the hit list just the way Akintola, Sodeinde and Ademulegun being Yorubas were all assigned to Igbo members of the plot to kill. Worse still, Ademoyega wasn't even assigned any target. Didn't he know how to pull the trigger?
Even in his book "Why we struck" Ademoyega couldn't say any role he played in the execution that night. He only wrote essays to justify the senseless killing of innocent politicians and his superior army officer by his friends who actually fooled him into an ethnic cleansing made to look like a revolution.
