We were discussing the VC Of Universities

Gen Ironsi wanted replace Professor Ishaya Audu and
to Appoint Dr Edozien the VC of Ahmadu Bello University
at a time when the VC Issue was still raging both in University
of Lagos and Ibadan


How many Yorubas did Gen Ironsi place in Positions of Power?
In the Promotions only one Yoruba Officer Olutoye was promoted and he was in the Education Corp

17 Eastern Military Officers were promoted by Ironsi despite there being a one year moratorium on
Promotions because of the Coup

By the way Col Benjamin Adekunle and Obasanjo were due for Promotion but were passed over

Truth always Triumphs over Propaganda because God Almighty reigns with Truth and Righteousness

You know he ruled for just 6 months right? 6 months to rule a very corrupt and unstable country that just had a coup, imagine judging Tinubu by his first 6 months.

He didn't promote certain officers in a six month span meant he deserved to die and thousands should follow him..

Like I said confirmation bias.

Your day will come.

Gen Ironsi also tried to remove Prof Ishaya Audu who was the VC of ABU Zaria and replace him with Prof Edozien

Lt Col Katsina who was Gov of the the North resisted it , but it was the July revenge Coup that finally halted Gen Ironsi's plan to replace Ishaya Audu

Prof Edozien later became the Traditional Ruler of Asaba

You guys are seriously hopeless, you are suffering from confirmation bias

Despite the fact that Aguiyi Ironsi placed Northerners in key positions of power you believe he was evil because he allegedly tried to replace a VC, a VC post that didn't have value to his regime and he didn't even do it merely allegedly tried to


Then you claim the Governor of the North resisted it, while not mentioning that it was Aguiyi Ironsi that made Lt Kastina, Governor.

SO people in Lagos do not protest right??

They do not protest on the grounds of "we are hosting so and so airport hence you must do our bidding and neglect everybody else"

T9ksy:
of course, the Northerners thought Nzeogwu was a "great man" after he singlehandedly
murder their political and religious leader in cold blood.

Keep deluding urself like iya ibeji who, when asked, responded that her boys are in London doing great things, when the whole village knows that her twins are in prison for armed robbery!

Well at least you admit they buried him, that should punch a big hole in your revenge idea

T9ksy:
Yeah, Nzeogwu was given a "respected military funeral" but that was after they plucked out his eyes from their sockets.

Are you trying to infer that the July coup was not a revenge coup? Pray then, tell us what it (July 1966 coup) was. Probably a home-coming party for the new clueless illegal head of state.

As for the plucking of Nzeogwu eyes once again you confuse army with civilians

The eyes were a trophy, it's like the way the British would steal African gods and store them well in museums although they didn't believe in them.

They plucked his eyes doesn't mean they hate him, they kept his eyes because they saw him as a great man hence they can boast that "I have a great man's eyes".

Quick question why did Murtala Mohammed and TY Danjuma plot a coup against Gowon?

Why did Dimka plot against Murtala Mohammed?

Why did Babaginda plot against Buhari?

Were they all about revenge?

The July coup was for a variety of reasons

The main reason was Power they wanted to rule, they don't want to be number 2 they want to be number 1 (by 'they' I mean the likes of Murtala Mohammed and TY Danjuma)

The next reason was promotion, many soldiers saw a chance to get promoted and killing Igbo Officers made sense, after all if Igbo Officers were being killed someone has to get promoted to take their place, a good career plan (the likes Dimka enter this category)

And then we have fear, some soldiers genuinely feared that they were going to get killed or at least have their lives destroyed by Igbo Officers so it was a 'i will kill you before you kill me situation'

We also have solidarity, "my friends are doing something bad but if I don't join them I would be ostracized" this mindset is even stronger in the army (majority of the soldiers fell in this category).

Lastly sadism, some people are just sadists who enjoy killing and watching others suffer and sometimes they join the army.

Obviously they are not foolish enough to admit their true motives, saying "I am fighting for revenge" sounds much better than saying "I am fighting for a promotion"

T9ksy:
Why do you assume that the Northerners gives a rat-arse how you perceive ironsi after his boys had just eliminated their (Northerners ') elite ? Ironsi was a dead-man walking, the moment he took over the govt of the day, at gunpoint. .

Yeah that's the thing

The man who personally killed Ahmadu Bello was Nzeogwu Chukwuma.

When he (Nzeogwu) died, Gowon gave orders for his corpse to be transported to Kaduna, he was then given a respected military funeral in Kaduna.

The man who killed Northern elites was buried in the North with respect.

Your mistake is thinking soldiers follow the same moral code as civilians, all this talk about revenge is complete nonsense.

This is why Lagos will always be successful, some tribes when God put small power - little success in their palms they immediately begin to meditate deeply on how they can oppress others with it...

If the government had build that airport somewhere else they would cry marginalization.

ccrenda5540:
Murtala Mohammed the great soldier who created 19 state. Some people lack knowledge of history.

I know he was terribly defeated when he tried to invade Onitsha, he had advantage in weapons, advantage in numbers, more food and supply and yet 90% of his troops were killed, only incompetent leadership could achieve that.

His expertise was in plotting coups and shooting defenceless civilians, he was cunning but was never intelligent (if he was intelligent he might still be alive)

Why feed a Chicken you’re intending to kill?

There you have your answer..

Chickens can't wield guns

For one temple to be built another must be destroyed, you cannot serve two masters

Either the Sultan has the power or the Governor has the power, choose your poison.

If the Sultan is an Islamic Leader then let him be officially an Islamic Leader of Nigeria and abandon the Sokoto.

This was most likely a blackmail from MURIC.

ShinnBet:
Ironsi appointing them was just a ruse to make them believe he had nothing to do with the coup when in effect he planned it alongside Azikiwe.

Why go through the trouble of killing Northern leaders just to place Northerners in every strategic key position in the country...

He was already Major General and on more than one occasion he disobeyed Nnamdi Azikiwe in favour of Tafewa Balewa...

Doesn't sound like a typical Northern hater to me.

ShinnBet:
Ejoor was not an Ibo man neither was he appointed to the position of Military Governor of the Midwest by Ironsi. It was Gowon that appointed Ejoor.

Ironsi appointed Ejoor as a staff officer in his military junta to keep him close at hand for monitoring and future assassination.

It's only natural for Ironsi to remove Ejoor from his command position fearing Ejoor knew about Ironsi having a hand in the coup and failed assassination on him.

GeneralPula:
Nepotism..

Those are some of the atrocities your fore-fathers committed..

We’re you told they also made an Igbo Man U.I & Unilag Vc? Igbos introduced nepotism into Nigeria system. Azikwe was the father of nepotism..

It was part of why they destroyed our regionalism, with the believe that they’d be able to have power to control over all..

See how both of you are contradicting yourselves

One claimed Aguiyi Ironsi appointed David Ejoor as Midwest commander due to nepotism

The other pointed out that David Ejoor was not Igbo so it couldn't be nepotism then claimed David Ejoor was never appointed as Midwest Governor

Can't even get your lies straight

David Ejoor was not Igbo, and according to the guy I mentioned, Aguiyi Ironsi wanted to kill David Ejoor, why empower a man you wish to kill?

Whatsapp forwarded message is solid proof

Hilarious

A politician is a politician they can only work with the resources they have, if PDP governor had the power to make people's lives better he would have done so because it would profit him...

Alex Otti does not have the power to fix Abia state beyond what PDP could have done.

Christistruth00:
The Evidence is even abundant
It is Propaganda that the evidence is speculation

Go and read the British Declassified Intelligence Files

Do you know that Gen Ironsi gave Major David Ejoor deputy at the Enugu Battalion orders to take over the Battalion because David Ejoor would not be returning to his post as it's commander?

It was only later in the morning that Gen Ironsi discovered that Ejoor was still alive only because he had slept in a different Hotel room from the one the Army had booked him in that same hotel

When Ejoor went to check his previous hotel room later it was Riddled with Bullets

The Coup plotters thought they had killed David Ejoor meanwhile he was fast asleep in a different Hotel room

Gen Ironsi was drinking Tea and Biscuits when major Ejoor walked into his office unscathed
Gen Ironsi couldn't conceal his shock on seeing him


Moral of the Story:
Fear God Always

https://thedefenderngr.com/igbo-soldiers-plotted-coup-from-independence-day-general-david-ejoor/

I haven't seen or heard any proof of the alleged interview until today - can you produce another site?

Why on earth will Aguiyi Ironsi make David Ejoor commander of Mid-west region?

Why would he make Murtala Mohammed Chief of Signals of the armed forces?

Why will he make Gowon Chief of Army Staff?

Why will he make TY Danjuma his personal scribe and the head of his personal guard?

Why will he station the 4th Battalion (a northern dominated army close to Lagos)...

For a tribalist who wants to kill and dominate everybody he seemed to be making the reverse steps.

Christistruth00:
Many People have evidence that Gen Ironsi was Part of the Jan 1966 Coup

That said Muritala Mohammed was also part of the July 1966 Coup but it was not Muritala that started the Coup Crisis



Gen Ironsi was the head of the Army and was responsible for Providing Security for those murdered by his Army boys

For example Brigadier Ademulegun's Security details were secretly changed in the Middle of the night without his knowledge

Only Gen Ironsi was Authorised to do that
That was the very honest bitter Truth.


Secondly Azikiwe went Abroad because he knew of the planned Coup
The British intelligence contacted Dr Azikiwe’s Doctors in the UK who confirmed there was
nothing wrong with Azikiwe and he was healthy enough to return to Nigeria, for the

Commonwealth Conference

After the Coup Azikiwe sent Gen Ironsi a Telegram from the British Colonial Office addressing Gen Ironsi as the Ruler of the Country before Ironsi had even taken over Power
It was after the Telegram was sent that the British Colonial Office corrected Azikiwe that Dipcherima from Borno was the head of the Rump Cabinet of Ministers and not Gen Ironsi

Thirdly after the Prime Minister was Kidnapped and Several People Killed Alhaji Ahmed Kurfi Went to the State House to see Gen Ironsi about the Missing Prime Minister
and found him at a meeting with Ifeajuna who had just killed Brigadier Maimailari and Prime Minister Balewa Present

Fourthly the Police had warned Gen Ironsi 2 weeks before about the Coup and had asked Gen Ironsi to arrest the officers planning the Coup because the police were not authorized to do

Gen Ironsi took no action and it Later turned out that the 5 names given to Gen Ironsi including Ifeajuna Nzeogeu , Onwategwu were the core coup plotters

The Problem is that the North believes Gen Ironsi had a hand in the Murder of their Leaders because he took no action to save their lives when ample evidence of a planned coup was presented to him

This your version is high speculation with not a single evidence and a very pathetic attempt to justify atrocities...

The funny thing is the man who led the coup was Nzeogwu Chukwuma, when he died he was buried in Kaduna with military honours by Northern soldiers and his burial was fully supported by Murtala Mohammed... this is a historical fact...

The very people claiming to fight for revenge actually honoured the man who started the whole thing.

guy rich gay guys dey o
have u gonr to nigeria prison b4

That is prison, guys in prison are sex starved, isolated and have no options, that doesn't mean they are gay - it's just prison...

Rich gay guys dey but they won't pay you for sex.

I wonder why people always have the false impression that wickedness is the easy way out, that inhumanity can make someone successful, in reality wickedness is hard work, if you are a lazy person who loves a good night rest don't try to be evil...

You will have to stay awake all night, watchful for the day when those you offended would come back for revenge (and they will come back)...

Israel's wickedness and inhumanity has placed it in a terrible situation where they are now surrounded by enemies, lost international sympathy and have to rely on white antisemitic leaders the very people that chased them out of Europe for protection.

And now they would have to keep fighting and fighting until they either get exhausted or the Antisemitic leaders finally decide to pull the plug.

No guy will pay you to open your nyash for him, most guys can't even pay a girl for sex let alone paying a guy...

It's either it was a kito trap or you are lying.

There are more Igbos living in Lagos than Yorubas in the east

There are more Igbos living in the Kano than Northerners in the East

In a stable country this should not be so, one tribe should not have to depend upon another tribe for their survival, it tips the scale of power in favour of those they depend on...

That's why Oba of Lagos will threaten to throw Igbos to the lagoon if they don't vote for Ambode (even though Ambode was running against Jimi who is not Igbo) and nothing will happen...

Why the Northerners would pass all sorts of segregation policies disguised as religious laws...

Power does not seat on the throne, power is more complex than who has this title and who has that.

You can be the president and be powerless like Nnamdi Azikiwe

You can be the major general and be powerless like Aguiyi Ironsi.

You can be a mere regional governor like Ahmadu Bello and be running the entire country.

You need to rethink marginalization.

Zxcvbnmghtr:
Let me elaborate your sentimental incitement a little further from a broader perspective.

If Nnamdi Azikiwe was the prime minister in the 60s and some Fulani Soliders who are all off course Muslims teamed up to murder him and every other person that is not Fulani holding political office in cold blood won't you term it as Jihad and unjustified?

Those who murdered Balewa, Sardauna.........were Christian soldiers mainly from a particular region.
Lol.....

I can go on and on. So keep your sentimental thoughts to yourself and don't allow me to expose you people.

In your perspective did the Christians launch a counter coup killing thousands of Muslim men, women and children majority of whom did not participate in the killing and some even stopped the coup?

Have you read this book Les Miserables?

The main antagonist is a police officer whose name is Javert

Javert was born in a jail cell, yet he does not steal, he does not lie, he always fights crime no matter the danger, he always respect authorities, he is not corrupt, he accept no bribes... and yet he is the main antagonist precisely because of these qualities.

When a prostitute was caught attacking a taxpayer, Javert immediately arrests her and tries to lock her up for 6 months (according to the law), it turns out this woman only engaged in prostitution to take care of her only daughter - if she is locked up nobody can take care of her daughter for six months... Javert being a 'good police officer' strictly abides by the law and turns deaf to her pleading.


The point of my rambling is... Some Nigerians always complain that the law enforcement agencies are corrupt but the question is, if they were not corrupt, if they truly abided by the laws and customs of the country, would you be safe?

I know some drivers who drive without license, some carry more loads than they are meant to, some cut corners and follow one way, if the police start being 'good' would these drivers be safe?

Is that not oven I'm seeing there?

Some apartments are dirty naturally by the construction and setting, some are dirty artificially by the tenant's bad habits, this poster should learn how to tell the difference.

Abi, let thugs take over the road...

People take things for granted too much

Our Nigerian prince has done well

To be fair he wasn't targeting the police officer, he was targeting the far right activist in other words a racist his only fault was attacking an officer who was just doing his job.

This doesn't look like Muslims being bad to me, the racist deserved it.

Britain doesn't like trouble especially trouble that doesn't profit them...

Britain tried to negotiate peace treaty with Hitler just to avoid trouble...

Britain will not give themselves headache over a dual citizen, not just any dual citizen but one who is head of a movement that had repeatedly cursed the British people.

Otti is the Commander in chief of Armed forces

olodo

Nigeria is not a dictatorship it is a republic in a republic power is shared into units.

The authority in Abia states lies with Otti yet to appease the mob he supported nonsense.
