Katsumoto: On this issue, arguing with Dayo is akin to banging your head against the wall.

Akintola was his uncle.

Dayo, no matter how you try to spin it, people are not fools.

With regards to the wetie incidents, read Fazil Agbe's piece supplied by Physics and you will observe that even Akintola believed that they were sponsored by the NCNC. Of course you know that the NCNC assisted Akintola in causing the brouhaha in the Western House leading to the state of emergency in the West. And instead of joining the NCNC in an alliance, he chose to join Balewa/Bello.

Katsumoto:

You are welcome.  

Dr.Tony:
MajoR Nzeogwu, †ђε hEro of our time

first let me point to you that the fact that corruption and betrayal is the order in Nigeria or yoruba politics does not make it right. even though some say Ojukwu really fueled it cos of his desire to rule.Awolowo's respected by many Yorubas but he's also power thirsty 2 rule a big Nigeria

Andre Uweh: Shagari did not resist arrest, and he was spared. Shonekan did not resist handing over to Abacha, and his life was spared. If you are a civilian and you resist military takeover, then something dreadful might happen as in the case of Ahmadu Bello.

ndu_chucks:

Your list is incomplete nwanne. Please give us a few names of Igbo Army Officers who were spared because they did not resist arrest during the Nzeogwu Igbo coup.

cdoffx: Northsharp
even history as nothing good about your saduana who is full of nepotism and corruption. was it not your saduana that backs Tafawa Balewa in all attrocities commited in the western region then when that man Akintola all because of money and power betrayed his kinsmen. i'm a Yoruba but i'll everly respect Nzeogwu as he did the best thing to save the nation then just that it was thwarted by some idiots.history will always expose all you liars.

tomakint:
You are the true son of ur father for saying the truth without mincing word! May ur days be long

aurenflani:

Who do think you are talking to? Which bloody Yoruba tribe do you belong to or interest you are serving? Just say the truth about your instinct and motive that you are only guided by the fact that Akintola is a Muslim. That's how you keep on deceiving your kin by hiding behind ethnic affiliation well you despise your brothers for being Muslims. Bloody hypocrites.

cdoffx:
mtcheew. Whats my business with Akintola being a muslim or not. What has religion got to do with politics. In fact i think you're only insuniating what you do and believe as what others to do. I do not segregate people because of religion even though i'll not stay with you in a lonely corner lest you pull out your dagger to slaughter me, its what you hausa people have been doing over and over again. No offence to you just saying the reality

dayokanu: ^^ Tomakint why wasnt any politician or soldier of Ibo extraction even targetted or attacked at all

slimghost:

Colonel Unegbe was killed, shot point blank. Truth is, Nzeogwu was sold out by Power thirsty Ifeajuna.

And why was Col. Unegbe shot point blank? Afterall, he was not on the coupists' list earmarked

for such treatment. Infact, he was the only ibo man to lose his life in that 1st coup in the country carried out by mostly ibo

majors. But hell no! It wasn't an ibo coup

T9ksy:

slimghost:

Please do your research well. Even Nzeogwu didnt see himself as Igbo then and they even had a yoruba major amongst the "five majors"? And yet its an Igbo coup? please be honest

dayokanu:

Are you saying Nzeogwu was right for killing other regional leaders and sparing Igbo leaders

or what was heroic about killing defenceless civilians in their beds with their wives

tomakint:
You dey mind that 'classical bigot' He is still suffering from the hang over of what 'Captain Nwobosi did to his Big Uncle, Chief S.L Akintola'

cdoffx:
i never said so, neither did i read that Akintola and Ahmadu were unarmed civilians when they were killed

nwabobo:

On whose hands are the blood of thousands killed in Northern Nigeria in 1945 and 1953?

T9ksy:


Have you looked in the mirror, lately? Somehow i don't think so.

dayokanu: ^^ Tomakint why wasnt any politician or soldier of Ibo extraction even targetted or attacked at all

dayokanu:

So what are you saying? Nzeogwu and his Igbo friends killed other regional leaders and spared theirs.

Whats the excuse?

ACM10:
Ironsi was targetted, but his bodyguards shot and killed 2 coupists

T9ksy:


Of course! Nzeogwu didn't identify himself with the ibos 'cause he was a very rare patriotic nigerian

however, its on record that he died whilst fighting with the ibos against the nigerian govt.

You do your research and tell us who did this "yoruba major" ACTUALLY killed during the first coup?

ndu_chucks:

Your list is incomplete nwanne. Please give us a few names of Igbo Army Officers who were spared because they did not resist arrest during the Nzeogwu Igbo coup.

dayokanu: Nzeogwu, Ifeajuna and Nwobosi are the beginning of Nigerias problems

Those Ibos soldiers are the people who brought us to our knees as a country

cdoffx,

Can you tell me any reason why Nzeogwu and co killed other regional leaders but spared all Ibo politicians?


Under the guise of cleaning corruption, they killed

North - balewa and bello

SW- Akintola

SS- Okotie-Eboh

But these Ibo soldiers found all SE politicians free from corruption

or why wasnt Azikwe or Michael okpara killed?

Duru1: ^^^The above junk is simply laughable.
