mrvitalis:
The results for me is a victory for APC... I never believed they can get this type of vote in the home state of the leader of PDP..... sylva is a paper weight politician..... Seriously PDP need to go back to the drawing board cos with this results. . APC has a strong chance of winning Rivers State

With all the rigging, ballot box snatching and voters disfranchisement orchestrated by the Military on behalf of the APC?

This just shows say una be learner and that Bayelsans where ever ready to defend their votes even in the face of death.

"My people hate me"

OrlandoOwoh:
What exactly is your arguement?

Are you asking me?

I stated in my first post that the coup of 1975 was on the orders of senior officers with Murtala at the helm. I never said he was part of the physical operation but that he was the main architect of it.

talktimi:
Instead of countering his argument intelligently, you start by insulting Aribisala and continue all through your article. How do you want sane minds to take you serious ? There are always two sides to any argument, I've heard Aribisala's side, waiting for the govt or it's supporters own but it definitely can't come from you.

You dey mind am.

The baseless points and direction of discrediting Femi is not even to his credit.

When this piece was posted here about 2 weeks back that is the same line a fellow janjawiid used to discredit the author first without taking the content into consideration.

They are all original zombies with no original content of their own. Like ruminating cattle they keep regurgitating the same tired out arguments.

This why we call them zombies.

The only one ranting foolishness and foaming rabid madness here is the OP.

Take your pseudo analysis and stuff it.

OrlandoOwoh:
Joe Garba was a colonel. He even announced the coup. Go read Isawa Elegwu's Gowon.

A Lt. Colonel and not a substantive Colonel.

That put him under the mid ranking cadre

opey25:
@OP,i dont know where u always get your fake information from. Nzeogwu didnt join the Nigerian Army as a University graduate. You also said soyinka was extradited from the Uk because of the coup plot. that is also a big lie,soyinka was not part of the coup plot. Emeka ojukwu didnt join the nigerian army as a NCO.he was commissioned into the nigerian army as a 2nd lieutenant in 1956.

Ojukwu joined the army as an NCO.

Nzeagwu and Ifeanjuwa were graduates before joining the army under the British nigerization policy.

Soyinka was implicated as part of the conspirators and his dissident behaviour earlier when he stormed Ibadan radio station to interrupt a pre recorded broadcast of Akintola's speech did not help him.

Buhari is preparing a huge and very juicy sh1ty sandwich and we are all going to have to take bite.

OrlandoOwoh:
The coup was led by Joe Garba.

A luitenant can order a platoon into position under the command of a sergeant.

That doesn't mean the sergeant had the initiative.

opey25:
why did u focus on murtala alone.danjuma and obasanjo were also approached.they also gave yardua and garba the same response murtala gave them. Murtala didnt plan the coup,I have never read it anywhere that he planned the july 1975 coup. The coup was orchestrated by Yardua,ibrahim taiwo and joe garba.The only coup murtala planned,was the july 1966 counter coup.

The coup as I rightly pointed out was a coup orchestrated by senior officers but carried out by colonels.

Murtala and co where Brigadier back then.

The Coup had their salient support and endorsement so we can say they authorised it and that is why Murtala and Obasanjo emerged as the new heads of state.

The hypocrite has spoken!

OrlandoOwoh:
Murtala Muhammed never led the July 1975 coup.

He never had to.

His movement was under surveillance.

As a member of the Supreme Millitary Council with his Brigade infiltrated by recently commissioned middle belt officers , he risked having officers disobey his command.

This is why he resorted to having the likes of Yaradua lead the coup.

DMerciful:
The problem of Nigeria was compounded by the interventions of the military. The problem of Nigeria even till this day is structural but the military thought and still thinks(Bubu) its corruption. The abolishment of the regions to one over powerful central govt that practice staring of Commonwealth rather than producing of wealth at d grassroot level and contributing a little to run the central govt is our ondoing. India and Pakistan started together but consistent democracy has made India far more developed than Pakistan with their military n democracy interchangeably like old Nigeria

The Nigerian Army is nothing but an armed political party.

They are not soldeirs but men seeking for a fortune.

opey25:
@op,Murtala muhammed didnt plan the July 1975 coup.it was planned by SM Yaradua,Ibrahim Taiwo and Joe Garba. they only informed Murtala, Obasanjo and danjuma. the three brigadiers promised to prevent them from being prosecuted if the coup failed.

Yaradua and Garba approached Murtala for his blessings(according to them) but the fact remains that as soon as they informed Murtala of their intentions he told them he won't be executing it with them but will surely be on their sides no matter the outcome. Murtala had been given them salient orders to stage a coup by bearing his mind and displeasure on Gowon's govt.

Mid ranking officers (Majors and Captains) are the best to use in a coup.

Why? Because the military command chain puts Majors at the heart of commanding military formations and manuvoures.


A Division is made up of 2 - 3 Brigades and is headed by a Major General commonly referred to as the GOC.

A Brigade is composed of 2-3 Battalions and is headed by a Brigadier-General.

A Battalion consists of 800- 900 men and is headed by a Colonel.

A Company consists of roughly 150 men and is headed by a Major and consists of 3 -5 platoons headed by luitenants.

If you have 5 Divisions , you will need only a company in each division to effect an arrest of the GOC.

A Major has the right number of men (not too large and not to small) to plan secretly and coordinate a coup.

This is why mid ranking officers always get the Job done.

The Coup was orchestrated by Yaradua and co (mid ranking officers) but was planned by Murtala.

Remember , Yaradua served directly under Murtala in the Biafran front.

walemoney007:
a coup is no more possible in Nigeria.if a coup takes place in Nigeria,the leader of the coup will only rule his people(tribe men),state or region

Scenario 1 .

If you haven't heard of it googe it on nairaland

A defendant can only give evidence or testimony for himself.

All testimonies from the defender implicating any other person including a co defendant is not acceptable in court.

He was overruled and rightly so.

[size=18pt]from reading some senseless comments here from the YAM squad it is obvious that Islamic terrorism can never be defeated or eradicated since we have so called peaceful Muslims who will deny and or defend the artrocities committed by their fellow Muslims and at the same time look for whom to blame for their lunatic brethren.

This is why I say that there is no such thing as a moderate Muslim.

Here we see them posting pure fallacies in order to blame christians, Niger delta and Jonathan for their own foolishness.

I guess it is Pastor Chris okotie that is behind ISIS with Wike bankrolling them as well.

A religion that falsely claims to be peacefule but has its most strict and adherent followers committing heinous crimes . Pray tell if Islam is so peaceful why are your most devout followers not extremely peaceful ?


Yeye fowls should save their weak ass taqiyyas for yourselves [/size]

Lolz,we all know that's a lie..The

don't transfer their aggression to
the innocent northernerns, and pls stop twisting the story answer what was asked

Hopefully I hope to see the dead Christians wake up and wipe you Muslim swines from the surface ofthe world.

Boko Ediot

Zoharariel:
Although that guy standing next to Asari Dokubo is not Mohammed Yusuf as can be seen in the attached picture below but CAN, Ebele Jonathan and Asari were deeply involved in the Boko Haram operations, logistics & funding as confessed by Henry Okah on the october 1st bombing in Abuja.

Muslim filth like you can even decide to tell us that bokos are not Muslims but Christian crusaders.

Keep decieving yourselves with your foolishness.

Only your fellow fools share the same brain dead zombie logic like you.

Keep being the village Ediot

Bubewilson:
Front page things let the sons and daughters of hatred interpret and reveal what brought them together.

But OP how you manage get this pic? Is like you are one of them or related to one of them?

Illiterate

logarithm:
Op, you ipso facto agreed with me.

Happy Sunday To You!

Agree with you on what?

Was I debating you here or lecturing you?

Bye bye

logarithm:
Good. You agree that democracy, communism, etc, all come with myriads of disadvantages

I never said anything .

I just said liberal politics is rubbish

logarithm:
Ok.

Compare our own Democracy to that of US

What is there to compare?

You have a sectional bigot leading a country more diverse than any in the world even the US

O

logarithm:
So Communism is now extreme? What will you say about China as a major economic world power?

Think of North Korea instead of China.

logarithm:
Oga, here is what I culled from Wikipedia.


“Left-wing politics are political positions or activities that accept or support social equality, often in opposition to social hierarchy and social inequality. They typically involve concern for those in society who are perceived as disadvantaged relative to others and a belief that there are unjustified inequalities that need to be reduced or abolished.”

You are making it seem being a Leftist is a sort of taboo instead of a political stand

At the extreme end of liberal politics lies communism and absolute state control on its citizens.

Free speech is clampdowned in the name of political correctness like what we are seeing in the US and Germany now regarding the Muslim "refugee" crisis.

Leftist politics is total anti democratic in the long run,

jumper524:
bro u haven't told me what would happen in anambra

If a muslim suicide bomber entered a church and had his suicide vest fail to explode after screaming Allah Akbar , I can bet the Christians will start thanking their God for saving the suicide bombers life.

Please somebody tell me one good thing about Kogi?


If I had the powerri will fence that state out.

logarithm:
I disagree. They weren't just Igbos and could you please define what 'Leftist' really means?

It was described as an Ibo led coup and to some extent it was.

To describe the coup as an Ibo agenda is wrong .

What I meant is to state the ethnicity just like I did with subsequent coups.

In a multi ethnic nation like Nigeria where ethnicities are constantly competing with each other , I tried to outline how ethnic sentiments are the first recruitment criteria to be met when looking to form a coup gang.

As for leftism (liberalism) it is basically one step towards nihilism .

It is a retardded political stance that refuses to acknowledge customs, traditions and laws which they want written with chalk on a blackboard.

Capnd143:
lol, yea maybe, but a coup is not possible in Nigeria anytime soon... not in years to come

That is what the political leaders in the first republic thought.

Belewa even ignored security alerts that a coup was imminent .

Hafter1:
[s][/s]

Trash coming from a slave like you, we have seen your pics here many times and i will surely kill my dog if he dare ask you out cos you are just too ugly.

Many of you eboes enjoyed free education of same Awolowo you trying to denigrate, you animals have no shame at all. Ojuku of cursed memory died senile, crippled, deaf and dumb while a drug addict like FFK pummelled his wife like crazy. The accursed coward remains the only war lord that ran away from battle after dressing like an Allen avenue olosho. What a shame, its truly a curse to be eboe.

What is this nonsense?

asorocker:
The first coup seems to be the the most effective and efficient, just 6 majors struck and demobilised the ruling structure.
The second could is not a coup in technicalities but is rather a genocide. Coup and genocide are 2 Different things

Because it could be done doesn't mean it has to be done.

The Jan 15 plotters were driven by blind rage to change the system.

You don't fix a political problem with military force.

They knew and understood very well the problem facing their generation but they failed to realize violence can never be the solution.

As far as I am concerned I see them being spurred on from the success of other brutal bloody coups in Africa.
