Cries of a sinking man. Are we the only country Britain colonised? Most part of the western world was colonised by them, including some oriental countries. Even if they grant us some money, is it not the likes of him that will embezzle the money? Do you know how many grants Nigeria have received in the last 5yrs?running into billions of dollars unaccounted for? He should just keep quiet there. Nor go cause wahala between we and Britain ooo.....cos men wan Japa oooo....

Lol. If you like, give black Africans all the money in the US federal reserve, they would return to beg for loans after a few years. Rest assured that all that wealth would be squandered and looted in record time.

The British colonized Canada, USA, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore and Hong Kong. Why is is only blacks that are still crying about colonization several decades after independence?

Blacks loves the concept of entitlement. Give them$ 200+ trillions; less than a year, you'll see them begging for loans and grants

REPARATIONS IS A LAZY MAN IDEOLOGY. Funny enough, most of the so called forefathers sold his fellow kinsmen to the white. The white don't owe black any dime. To be factual, we owe them a lot more like EDUCATION, INNOVATIONS, TRADE D, , MEDICINE, SCIENCE and TECHNOLOGY. Africa wasn't the only continent the white colonized. HONG KONG was colonized for 100yrs+ yet you can't compare Hong Kong to Africa. Even CHINA, SOUTH KOREA was COLONIZED by the JAPANESE, yet you can't compare their society to that of Africa. Blacks are mentally lazy. Their corruption won't allow them to trade properly with the white. Most of the noo-white countries doing well today, did so because they traded well with the white. Don't work, waiting for free money. Awon freeloaders.

Patrick Chukwuma "Kaduna" Nzeogwu (26 February 1937 – 29 July 1967) was a Nigerian military officer and revolutionary who played a leading role in the first military coup d'ètat of 15 January 1966, which overthrew the first Nigerian republic.[2]

In March 1957, Nzeogwu enlisted as an officer-cadet in the Nigeria Regiment of the West African Frontier Force and proceeded on a 6-month preliminary training in Ghana, then Gold Coast. He completed his training in Ghana by October 1957 and proceeded to the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst where he was commissioned as an infantry officer in 1959. He later underwent a platoon officer's course in Hythe and a platoon commander's course in Warminster.[4] Max Siollun, a military historian described Nzeogwu as a "devout catholic, a teetotaler, a non-smoker, and despite being a bachelor, did not spend much time chasing women".[5]

Military career
Edit
On his return to Nigeria in May 1960, Nzeogwu was posted to the 1st Battalion in Enugu where Major Aguiyi-Ironsi was the second-in-command under a British officer.[6] He was later posted to the 5th Battalion in Kaduna where he became friends with Olusegun Obasanjo.[6] His Hausa colleagues in the Nigerian Army gave him the name "Kaduna" because of his affinity with the town.[7] After serving in the Congo in 1961, Nzeogwu was assigned as a training officer at the Army Training Depot in Zaria for about 6 months before getting posted to Lagos to head up the military intelligence section at the Army Headquarters where he was the first Nigerian officer.[8]

The forerunner of the Nigerian Army Intelligence Corps (NAIC) was the Field Security Section (FSS) of the Royal Nigerian Army, which was established on 1 November 1962 with Captain PG Harrington (BR) as General Staff Officer Grade Two (GSO2 Int). The FSS was essentially a security organization whose functions included vetting of Nigerian Army (NA) personnel, document security and counter intelligence. Major Nzeogwu was the first Nigerian Officer to hold that appointment from November 1962 to 1964. As a military intelligence officer, he participated in the treasonable felony trial investigations of Obafemi Awolowo and other Action Group party members. According to Olusegun Obasanjo, "Chukwuma had some scathing remarks to make about [Nigeria's] national security, and about those who were being investigated. If he had his way, he said, his treatment of the whole case would have been different".[9] Nzeogwu reportedly antagonised some army colleagues in his capacity as a military intelligence officer and even clashed with the Minister of State for the Army, Ibrahim Tako.[8] Consequently, he was posted to the Nigerian Military Training College in Kaduna where he became Chief Instructo
1966 Nigerian coup d'ètat
Edit

Main article: 1966 Nigerian coup d'état
Planning
Edit
The planning of the coup began with an inner circle of university-educated young officers who intended a national military revolution by seizing power in the regional capitals of Kaduna (Northern Region) and Ibadan (Western Region), and later taking control of Lagos (Federal Territory). Nzeogwu was tasked with leading the revolution in the Northern Region starting with Operation Damisa on 15 January 1966 and, at later stages, Operation Kura, Operation Zaki and Operation Giwa which would have culminated in the murder of the northern establishment.[10][11]

Nzeogwu had started his preparation by organizing a two-day night exercise "Damisa" (Operation Tiger) to train soldiers in new fighting techniques. The exercise was approved by authorities of the 1st Brigade Headquarters apparently unaware of the real intentions of Nzeogwu and the Brigade Major, Alphonso Keshi had sent circulars to all units operating under the Brigade to contribute troops towards the success of the exercise. By the time Major Keshi realized "Operation Damisa" was actually a military conspiracy it was too late to counter the operation.[11]

Execution
Edit
In the early hours of 15 January 1966, Nzeogwu led a group of soldiers[12] on a supposed military exercise, taking them to attack the official residence of the premier of the north, Sir Ahmadu Bello in a bloody coup that saw the murder of the Premiers of Northern and Western Nigeria. The Prime Minister (Abubakar Tafawa Balewa), a federal minister (Festus Okotie-Eboh), and top army officers from the Northern and Western regions of the nation were also murdered. From the existing government, the premier of the Eastern region (Michael Okpara), the President of the Nigerian federation (Nnamdi Azikiwe) and the Igbo Army Chief (Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi) were notable survivors.

Nzeogwu's modus operandi in the North contributed in no small measure to the success of the coup in Northern Nigeria.

According to a Nigerian Police Special Branch Report, Nzeogwu executed at least 4 army and police security personnel including one of the men on his team (Sergeant Daramola Oyegoke). Nzeogwu also participated in the execution of Col. Raph Shodeinde, his superior officer at the Nigerian Military Training College and is reported to have shot indiscriminately at fleeing women and children.[13]

After waiting for an early morning radio announcement from Major Adewale Ademoyega in Lagos which did not take place because of the failure of the coup in Lagos, Major Nzeogwu made an mid-afternoon announcement, declaring martial law in Northern Nigeria.


Civil war and death
Edit

On 30 May 1967, Biafra declared its independence from Nigeria; this was spurred by the incessant killing of Igbos in Northern Nigeria and the refusal of then military head of state General Yakubu Gowon to mobilize security personnel to stop the killings. [14]

On 29 July 1967, Nzeogwu - who had been promoted to the rank of a Biafran Lt. Colonel - was trapped in an ambush near Nsukka while conducting a night reconnaissance operation against federal troops of the 21st battalion under Captain Mohammed Inuwa Wushishi.[15]

He was killed in action and his corpse was subsequently identified;[16] however his sister insisted he killed himself to avoid being humiliated by the federal troops.[17] After the defeat of Biafra orders were given by the Nigerian military head of state General Yakubu Gowon, for him to be buried at the military cemetery in Kaduna with full military honours.[18]

anytime these useless agbado îmbecile tribal bigots smell southern unity especially amongst the youths, they dig up Ifeajuna and the "66 coup. What baffled the useless nincompoops this period is that their campaign of calumny against Gbadebo Rhodes and igbo people was strongly resisted by mostly Yorubas and enlightened leaders of thought. Agbado îmbeciles are terrorists

If Igbos survived when there was no Nigeria, they will survive after Nigeria ends

Let us all stop deceiving our selves with this unworkable British colonial contraption called Nigeria. Let us all admit that the country has failed, shake hands and go our seperate ways

Its better than being in Nigeria and fighting each other forever

Affirmative 🤝🏽

gidgiddy:
All the more reason Nigeria should grant Igbos referendum so they can go their way

But as soon Igbo talk about going their way, you Nigerians will ready fight war

Say that to your elites, that are blinded with greed and in some sense smart. They are aware of the political and economical struggle the east will plunged into if they secede

You and your tribes men are the bane of Nigeria. You did it in the past, and you're repeating. Obi came to divide Nigeria. Inciting animosity between clans men with cheap brain washing. For your info, I know Igbo too well; their greed, desperation and
treasonous ways will never allow them rule this country

Born in Onitsha,[3] he attended Dennis Memorial Grammar School in his home town and displayed the characteristics that would later define his life. He trained in the high jump under his games teacher,[4] and he also took part in a protest that closed down the school for a term. He graduated from high school in 1951.[5] Ilesa Grammar School also claims him as a past alumnus.[6] This is disputed, although he did do summer school teaching at the institution

1966 Nigerian coup D'état

15 January 1966, when mutinous Nigerian soldiers led by Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu and Emmanuel Ifeajuna killed 22 people[4] including the Prime Minister of Nigeria, many senior politicians, many senior Army officers (including their wives), and sentinels on protective duty.[5][6] The coup plotters attacked the cities of Kaduna, Ibadan, and Lagos while also blockading the Niger and Benue River within a two-day span of time before the coup plotters were subdued. The General Officer Commanding the Nigerian Army, Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi, was compelled to take control of the government of a country in upheaval, inadvertently putting Nigeria's nascent democracy on hold.[7] His ascendancy to power was deemed a conspiracy by the coup plotters, who were mainly Igbo officers, to pave the way for General Aguiyi-Ironsi to be Head of State of Nigeria. Consequently, the retaliatory events by Northern members of the Nigerian Army that led to deaths of many innocent Igbo soldiers and civilians caused the Nigerian Civil War.[citation needed]

Just open the Calabar, Onne, PH and Warri ports; your Lagos will be left for you. Better still, organize a Biafran referendum.

You can't eat your cake and have it
No-man's-land is No-man's-land

Calabar is part of the South South political region and ethnically related to akwa ibom by extension.

Delta, rivers, cross river non of this state expresses intentions to join Biafra. Stop 🛑 claiming what's not yours!!!

olè nla! You guys wanna add SOUTH SOUTH region to your cursed barren landlocked MIDDLE EAST. We want you guys to actualize Biafra. But most of the prominent people from your region knows Biafra is a failed initiative. I'm happy to see the day your greedy people are driven out of Nigeria to your MIDDLE EAST Biafra, then you guys will get the dose of reality about how useless your region is.

Calabar is more Eastern than the Fulani SE. Just open the port

Is Calabar an Igbo origin region? Always claiming other people's territory as theirs, INTERNAL DISPLACED PEOPLE. Go to your middle East. Stop meddling in other tribes affairs.
Very soon you guys will claim you develope Calabar. Awon developer
