Igboid:
Quick question for you.
Seeing as Nzeogwu the leader of the coup was from the present Delta state.

Can we now call the coup Deltan coup?
This is irrelevant to the discussion. Delta state is not a tribe besides Delta state only came into existence in 1991.

Y0ruba:
You are very correct with your posts. Please don’t let any hairy bastard bully you.

These people were pushing for unitary system at all the pre-independence conferences and also pushed for the excision of Lagos island from Yorubaland at all these conferences.

Surprise surprise, it was the same unitary they forced on us with the coup.

Another surprise, it was the same Lagos they headed for to ravage during the Biafra war before they were stopped at Ore & Yoruba had tovtake sides with Hausa eventually during the war.

These yiibo people had an agenda to dominate, they still do - see Lagos. Thankfully, Baba SL Akintola & Ahmadu Bello saw through them quickly enough & of course, these Yiibos killed them.

They are greedy lot, their greed is why Naija is what it is. God bless & keep your Dad, ase!
I don't feel bullied, I just feel pity for that guy and the state of denial he is in. You see I thanked him and said no more. Sometimes, life is hard enough for some people and quarrelling only worsens their situation. There are some things you don't just argue. Living in his delusion that it was not an igbo coup does not change the disposition of the political elites towards igbo people. Even the office of the vice president can not be given to them because it is too much exposure should anything happen to the principal. I am not the one who made it like that, history did.

The first coup that destabilised Nigeria will be passed on from generation to generation and the igbo man will always be relegated to the number 3 citizen as the highest office they can attain. Funny enough they are unrepentant and even lost the number 3 position. Nobody is comfortable having them too close to critical power.

And to this day, they insist on being as they are, I am not the one who engineered their mindset like that.

My good sir!, i beg to disagree that the coup was the reason Nigeria is divided among tribal lines. i once had a video given to me by my lecturer and in that video Saudana was saying "for you to give an igbo man job, u should rather give it to an expatriate" Awo saw Nigeria as a mere "geographical expression" Balewa believed that Nigeria was a British "invention" sir, the division has been there a long time ago, even before the coup.

Note: the coup plotters were majorly Igbos but that doesn't mean it was the Igbos alone that executed the coup.

P.S. I am not in any way defending the Igbos, but rather i viewed the coup as a revolution that was not completed because the plotters allowed tribalism to cloud their ideology.

feel free to educate me more.
Ok

Your father narrated trash to you. Instead of verifying the authenticity of the story, you decided to follow your fathers footsteps. For your information the igbos did not break away because of marginalisation, it was as a result of the pogrom that happened in the north that led to secession.
Thank you.

oh my good sir! you know some people developed cold feet at the eve of the coup that is why you thought it was an Igbo coup. though personally i saw it as a revolution that was not completed. If it was completed, we won't be in this mess we are in today.

But what do i even know? you can educate me more sir...
I wasn't born then even my dad was only 29 but from oral history and what has been made official history, it was an igbo coup. That same year, the hausa/fulani retaliated in a counter coup. The Igbos saw how they had been marginalised and chose secession led by Ojukwu. Gowon rebuked it, no such nonsense was going to happen under him and the civil war broke out.

That coup planned and executed by the Igbos is the reason Nigeria is how it is today - greatly divided among tribal lines and a great distrust never to allow an igbo person govern this country again.

Playing stop talking what you don't know! If u were not taught history in school why not google it up. How can someone in this day and age not know history and subscribe to tribalistic jagons pushed by illiterate people?
Ifeajuna sold out in the coup, every politician were killed except some from the east bcoz ifeajuna was a cousin to Zik. Igbos did not in any way carry out any coup. why would they when the president of Nigeria was igbo and Prime Minister Hausa? It was purely a military revolution in which one of them sold out. Even Kaduna nzeogwu was born in the north and bred by ahmadu Bello. He was even from Delta State. Aguiyi ironsi was also targeted but being who he was he countered them and chased the coup plotters all the way from dodan barracks to seme border. Learn ur history don't allow these political old thieves confuse you, they are our problem not igbo,yoruba & Hausa. Up there no tribalism exists only collective looting.
Bla bla bla neither of us were born then so hold on to your damage control story while I hold on to official accepted fact that can be quoted in academic articles.

Urhobos are not Biafrans.
Even though Okotie-Eboh was born an urhobo man he rose to prominence as an adopted Itsekiri and died an Itsekiri man.

Yes i am aware that some top Igbo men were spared and that was a terrible mistake the revolutionist made. but Okotie was corrupt
Omimi Ejor was definitely corrupt, I even heard he had a personal minting machine but that was not the reason he was killed and omitting Igbos from the coup was not a mistake, it was an igbo coup and they spared their people. Simple!

Bro, i am not an igbo man, but i love the igbos, i have big friends that are Igbos, female friends that have turn sisters that are Igbos so please understand my comment objectively.

Okotie Eboh was very corrupt, oh yes he was the one that brought Julius Berger, he played prominent role in the establishment of CBN but damn that man was very corrupt..he was the one that introduce bribing or oiling your way to get contracts.

He was not kill for political reasons...don't forget that he was killed in the first coup led by Kaduna and co.
I do not hate the igbos too and I live like an igbo man because I admire their ways especially with entrepreneurship but according to Wikipedia,

The 1966 Nigerian coup d'état began on January 15, 1966, when mutinous Nigerian soldiers led by Kaduna Nzeogwu and Emmanuel Ifeajuna killed 22 people[1]including the Prime Minister of Nigeria, many senior politicians, many senior Army officers (including their wives), and sentinels on protective duty.[2][3] 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, of the Nigerian Army, Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi then used the coup as a pretext to annex power, ending Nigeria's nascent democracy. It was one of the events that led to the Nigerian Civil War
.

You can visit the website to see how it instigated the second coup later in the year. The whole government was corrupt but the igbos safeguarded their people starting with president Nnamdi Azikiwe who was on a cruise and nothing happened to any greedy igbo politician in the government, even the acting president then was igbo and nothing happened to him too. These facts are out there, corruption was just an excuse to seize power.

The real motive for killing Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh was political and not corruption.

Isn't this the one that invented bribery for contracts by government. He brought Julius berger by earning kickbacks from bribes on federal contracts. Im sure bulk of Nigerian youths don't even know the man. He was killed cos of his super influence and wealth, plus corruption. Think he was the first massively corrupt public officer. Pls if u don't know history don't quote me to talk nonsense.
Okotie Eboh was killed purely for political reasons as a key member of the government in power. Igbos also saw the retaliation from the North and how they've been pushed aside in present day politics.

Ah ah, how were you able to see inside the plate? It could be banga soup, I even believe it is banga soup because Owo is a special food during marriage ceremony, the girl's family are entitled to it and can cause trouble over any Owo soup in sight.

I saw this while on twitter this evening. At first I thought it was a joke until I saw the information on SON website.

Funny enough Nigerians are unaware until it takes hold because manufacturers and importers are the ones receiving the memo.

This is not something you actually want to announce on TV or radio.
