demanuel:To start with, you must have a business or trade that solve major societal problem. From there you start to build a system for financial freedom. Another thing is this, while creating a business or trade, you must consider the era we are in now and make sure whatever business you are starting is in line with today's generation needs. For instance, a startup in ecommerce won't be a bad idea because ecommerce have a very long way to go and its just evolving in Nigeria, meaning it has a lot to offer. After you have succeeded in starting up a business in a moving or viable niche, you need to be patient and build loyal customers over years, and make sure you leave a very impressive service on the mind of every customer that comes to you. As you do so, you also start networking with industry players in similar business and build a system of successful people in your business area, this will help solidify your growth |
BafanaBafana:Not Gowon, Aguiyi Ironsi and Ojukwu foiled the coup! Where do you guys get your history from abeg ![]() Gowon that was scared and shaking to speak to Nzeogwu and Anofuru to the extent they invited Nzeogwu's doctor to speak to him out of fear. Please read full account of the coup by even a Yoruba officer amongst them; Adewale Ademoyega. Install MILITARY WIKI MILITARY WIKI 1966 Nigerian coup d'état EDIT PAGE 1966 Nigerian coup d'etat Date January 15-January 16, 1966 Location Nigeria Result Overthrow of Abubakar Balewa Assassination of 11 senior Politicians Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi seized power Instigation of Northern-led counter-coup Belligerents Flag of Nigeria.svg Government of Nigeria Flag of Nigeria.svg Rebel Army Officers Commanders and leaders The 1966 Nigerian Coup d'état began on January 15, 1966 when rebel soldiers led by Kaduna Nzeogwu assassinated 11 senior Nigerian politicians and two soldiers as well as kidnapping three others. 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 able to take control of Nigeria a senior Nigerian General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi was able to make the coup plotters flee to Kaduna. Although the government was able to drive to coup plotters away they succeeded in installing a Head of State from the Eastern Region. The coup was the spark that erupted into the Nigerian Civil War. Background In August 1965 five Igbo Majors were beginning to plot a coup against incumbent Prime Minister Abubakar Balewa. The coup was planned because the Majors were dissatisfied with the governments actions and that most Nigerian politicians were of Hausa or Fulani descent. In a memoir written by coup plotter Adewale Ademoyega he wrote "Our enemies are the political profiteers, the swindlers, the men in high and low places, that seek bribes and demand 10%; those that seek to keep the country divided permanently so that they can remain in office as ministers or VIPs." The coup plotters had five goals to achieve, to Strike simultaneously in regional capitals, arrest leading politicians-kill any who resist, avoid reprisals-kill all senior army officers, prevent troop movement-block Niger and Benue, and form a new Government. They planned to strike right before the Commonwealth Conference so that Balewa would be distracted from any suspicious army movements. Coup In the weeks leading up to the coup Maj. Kaduna Nzeogwu carried out reconnaissance on Ahmadu Bello's mansion in Kaduna. Nzeogwu often took his men on a night-time training exercise known as "Exercise Damisa" which was in actuality a practice run for a military coup. The commander of the 2nd Brigade, Brig. Samuel Ademulegun, became irritated with the night-time exercises and reprimanded Nzeogwu in a telephone call to keep exercises a safe distance from Bello's mansion. Although Ademulegun complained about the commotion he had no idea of the exercise's true purpose. Nzeogwu's control over his troops was so little that he had to conscript young soldiers from the Nigerian Military Training College at Kaduna. In the early hours on January 15, 1966 Nzeogwu decided to turn "Exercise Damisa" into a full blown military coup. Nzeogwu led his men to a bush adjacent to the mansion gates and informed them of their real mission. Nzeogwu and his men blew open the mansion gates and conducted a search of the residence, hunting for Bello. After losing his temper at his initial failure to locate him, Nzeogwu found him hiding with his wives. Bello was shot along with one of his wives who tried to shield him with her body. Bello's faithful bodyguard came to defend him with a bow and arrows but was also shot. Nzeogwu's co-conspirator, Maj. Timothy Onwuatuegwu, personally led a detachment of soldiers to Ademulegun's house. Onwuatuegwu made his way up to the Brigadier's room where he was laying beside his wife. Upon seeing Onwuatuegwu enter the room, Ademulegun shouted at him "Timothy, what the devil do you think your doing?". Onwuatuegwu told Ademulegun that he was under arrest. Ademulegun reached for a drawer beside his bed, and as he did so, Onwuatuegwu shot him dead in his bed, along with Ademulegun's wife who was laying beside him. The head of the NMTC Col. Ralph Shodeinde was killed, but the manner of his death is unclear. His wife testified that he was shot by several soldiers that included Maj. Nzeogwu and Maj. Onwuatuegwu. Other accounts claim that a grenade was tossed at him. It is not clear if Nzeogwu was involved with Shodeinde's death since presumably he was pre-occupied at the time with killing Ahmadu Bello. Most accounts place responsibility for Shodeinde's murder with Onwuatuegwu. The same Onwuatuegwu, who shot both Shodeinde and Ademulegun along with his wife, kidnapped but did not harm the Governor of the Northern Region Kashim Ibrahim. When released Ibrahim vouched that he had been treated with the utmost respect by the men who kidnapped him. The commander of the 2nd Reece squadron in Kaduna, Hassan Katsina, was not harmed during the coup. Shortly before the coup started, Katsina bumped into Nzeogwu. It is speculated that the conversation between the two men may have saved Katsina's life as Nzeogwu's familiarity with Katsina's family may have led him to exclude Katsina from the coup out of empathy. When the two men met again shortly after the coup, Nzeogwu asked him directly "Are you with us or against us?". Seeing that Nzeogwu was holding a gun, Katsina wisely replied "you know I am with you." At around 2am Maj. Emmanuel Ifeajuna and some lieutenants from the 2nd Brigade HQ made their way to Prime Minister Abubakar Balewa's residence. They overpowered, but did not kill, the police officers standing guard there. Ifeajuna then kicked down the door of the Prime Minister's bedroom before leading him out at gunpoint. Elsewhere in Lagos, Maj. Don Okafor attempted to arrest Brig. Zakariya Maimalari but he managed to escape by jumping over a wall behind his house. As he was escaping on foot, he came across the car of his Brigade Major, Emmanuel Ifeajuna. Maimalari recognized Ifeajuna and had no idea that he was part of the coup plot. Erroneously believing that Ifeajuna could be trusted, Maimalari waved down the car, and was promptly shot by Ifeajuna. The commanding officer of the Ibadan-based 4th battalion, Lt. Col. Abogo Largema, was a guest at the Ikoyi hotel on the night of the coup. Ifeajuna arrived at the hotel and forced the desk clerk at gunpoint to inform Largema that he had a phone call. When Largema emerged from his room Ifeajuna and a subaltern emerged from their hiding place in a corridor and shot Largema dead. The army's GOC Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi was tipped off about the coup by a telephone call from Lt. Col. James Pam. Shortly after ending his telephone call with Ironsi, Pam was abducted from his house and shot dead by Maj. Chris Anuforo. The only Igbo to die in the coup, Lt. Col. Arthur Unegbe, was shot by Anuforo because he was known to be close to Brig. Maimalari and had to be silenced in order to avoid him from raising the alarm. Balewa, Col. Kur Mohammed, and Minister of Finance Festus Okotie-Eboh were initially kidnapped, but were later killed. In Ibadan the premier of the Western Region Chief Samuel Akintola had been forewarned that soldiers were coming to get him. Akintola heard rumors of a coup and traveled to Kaduna to warn the premier of the Northern Region, Ahmadu Bello. After failing to raise any urgency in Bello, Akintola returned to Ibadan and armed himself with a rifle. His deputy Chief Fani Kayode was first arrested by the coupists. After his arrest, Kayode's wife informed Akintola of what had happened. Shortly afterward a detachment of soldiers led by Capt. Emmanuel Nwobosi arrived at Akintola's residence. Upon sighting the soldiers, Akintola opened fire, wounding a few of them including Capt. Nwobosi. After fighting for his life and engaging the soldiers in a gunfight, Akintola was shot dead by Nwobosi's men. Aftermath The commotion caused by the murders of other officers alerted Ironsi to the coup and was able to rally troops who helped him put down the coup. On his way to commence moves to crush the coup, Ironsi encountered a checkpoint manned by junior officers involved in the coup. Ironsi simply stepped out of his vehicle and roared "Get out of my way!", an order which they promptly obeyed, before continuing his journey. When it became obvious the coup wasn't going to succeed, Nzeogwu handed over control of the Northern Region to Ironsi's appointed designee, Hassan Katsina, before being escorted to Lagos by Lt. Col. Conrad Nwawo, where he surrendered to Ironsi. The coup leaders, except for Ifeajuna who had fled to Ghana, were placed under arrest. The surviving members of the Federal cabinet handed over the reigns of government to Ironsi who suspended several parts of the constitution, banned all political parties, and formed a new military government with a Supreme Military Council. |
The guy got what he deserved by being nepotistic, killing Northerners and Westerners excluding his Eastern Brothers. He was the one that form Unitary Govt abolishing Regional Govt and Devolved Powers that his people are clamoring for today in the name of restructuring all because of greed and the grand plan to make his tribe to dominate other tribes in Nigeria.how you guys derive joy on twisting history just to show your hatred for Igbos beat my imagination. Aguiyi Ironsi abolished regional government yet he was on a visit to Western Region Governor Fajuyi when he was killed; do you people ever have conscience in your dealings ![]() God will shame you Yoruba liars someday if you don't desist from all these lies you guys have been spreading oh! It was Gowon that abolished Regional Government and he is alive, you can go find out from him. Stop spreading lies just because you hate Igbos! ![]() |
Nigeria is gradually becoming Sodom and Gomorrah |

Kapilta:and the Igbo President must turn Southern Cameroon to Paris, if not Na thunder go fire am.....nonsense and Fulani people ![]() |
Realstick941:That is how most young Yorubas spread lies their fathers who were hiding at Abeokuta during the events of 1966 told them. And they tell it with boldness and pride, what nonsense ![]() |
travelwaka:may God Almighty forgive you. And starting today you lost a passionate follower of your travel blog. With the part I put in bold coming from you, it means your blog had been spreading lies and rumors fabricated in your skull!! What nonsense ![]() Please people don't listen to this history re-writer and fabricator!! Aguiyi Ironsi never organized any coup in 1966. Aguiyi Ironsi was just a victim of vengeance and circumstances. He was never among the coup organizers. Stop spreading lies please. Go back and grab books written by foreign journalists and BBC if you cannot believe the books written by the coup plotters who were mostly young Igbo officers and Yoruba and other tribes. The coup leader was Maj. Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu. They also had Yoruba, Ijaw, Tiv, Hausa, Bororo, Idoma, etc officers amongst them whom the Nigerian government later hid to ensure the world see the coup as Igbo coup they tagged it to kill Aguiyi Ironsi and to also justify the 1966 pogrom against Igbos. The coup plotters made their intention known- they did it to cleanse Nigeria's first corrupt indigenous government headed by Zik and Tafawa Belewa, and mostly due to the political turmoil in Western Nigeria between Awolowo and Akintola which led to arrest and jailing of Awolowo. And they did it to free Awolowo in order to make him President but Aguiyi Ironsi, Ojukwu and co foiled the coup. |
UyaiIncomparabl:life is a system. Whatever you want in life, create the system for it. If you want riches, create a system of successful people around you and one day you will become rich. Adeherself just got engaged by a fellow comedian, they are in the same system. So what system have you created around you to achieve your desire to get married to a deserving husband Since you spend a lot of time on Nairaland, which means you have built a system of friends, followers and admirers through your comments on Nairaland so give some of the guys around your Nairaland system a chance of friendship and then love that can lead to tying the knot someday.Yes some people succeed without following the system of life, they are the abnormally, there is always an exception to every life rule, and if you will be one of them it will happen to you too someday. But to get your desired goal in life faster, build the system for your goal. Like me I cherish success so much and over the cause of years I built a system of successful people and successful activities around me and today it has paid off. There is also principle of financial success which is accessible to both Christians, pagans, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Atheists, so long as you follow that principle of financial success in life, whether you are a born again Christian oh, pagan oh, Muslim oh, Atheists oh, etc, you will become financially successful, that is why you see successful people in all religion and beliefs. The same goes to good health and long life..if you want to enjoy good health, build a system of healthy living and healthy lifestyle. |

hermesprogidy:The civil war you say if you had sense enough, you were not supposed to bring it up because the civil war odds were clearly against Igbos.Igbos defended themselves and their land unprepared against all odds and held the war for 3 years and you think it was a small feat ![]() Imagine the small Igbo fought the rest of Nigeria for 3 good years unprepared Tell me which other Nigerian tribe can dare that![]() That is why when roar, Hausa-Fulanis shiver but when Yoruba shout, Hausa-Fulanis start to laugh because they know what Igbos can do, and reason they are scared to allow an Igbo man become President because of the fear. And go and read your history, if not for UK, Egypt, Russia, etc massive military support to Nigeria, Biafra almost won the war. You maybe wondering why Russia, UK and Egypt who were all world powers back then supported Nigeria against Biafra ![]() Russia offered to help Ojukwu win the war in exchange to explore Biafra crude oil for 30 years, Ojukwu rejected the offer and Russia turned against Biafra. UK supported Nigeria because Nigeria was their biggest Commonwealth nation with recently discovered large crude oil deposit and if allowed to split, would cause them a lot of loses as Ojukwu already expelled BP (British Petroleum) from exploring crude oil at Olobri then and even seized some of their crude oil vessel, which made Britain to swing to action fast to ensure Biafra is defeated by giving Nigeria massive air bombardment and airstrike that dislodged Biafra troops matching to occupy Middle belt and Southwest Lagos. There was no way Biafra could have won because Ojukwu made so many wrong decision, he would have offered Russia something lesser instead of turning them down completely thinking Biafra would win the war effortlessly like it looked like at the start of the war. While Ojukwu refused to sell Biafra crude oil to win the war, Gowon and Awolowo sold Nigerian crude oil at Bakasi Peninsula just to win the war, can you see their desperateness to win small Biafra And the whole Nigeria paid for their foolishness later after the war, we lost oil rich Bakasi peninsula to Cameroon.It is on record that Biafra made groundbreaking inventions that shocked the whiteman as at that time. |
NaMeAboki:You don't know the Bible. Go and read your Bible. There were several occasions God sent Prophets otherwise known as men of God today, to go and warn the kings of those times. Any man of God that cannot tell the king the truth is not a man of God but man of money and power. |
JaneYave:call them by their name; most Yorubas are his supporters because they want to lure him and the Muslim North into helping to make Tinubu President, that is their only wicked, selfish reason for supporting evil Buhari, nothing else, and they think God is a man, I laugh at them all because my God is not a man that they can deceive, God will shock them and their selfish agenda when the time is ripe ![]() |
