So can you all now bend your knees and apologize to God for being partners in the destruction of our land?

When will we learn?

Before Independence the western Region was far more productive because of effecient management of resources.

They had smaller resources comparing to the North and Eastern Regions.

Then the cocoa and all the exports of the Western Region slaked in the world market.

The Eastern Region picked up from 1960 to 1965.

Then just like we were under a spell of the spirit of error. On our own we blew everything up using a coup and a war.

Then we began to build a fresh. Only for Kanu to emerge again and with you people's support he's blown the South Eastern economy again.

How can we claim to be entrepreneurs and business people but our region keeps lagging behind?

It doesn't make sense.

It only means that our abilities are working outside of the East now and not in the East.

Aba, Onisha and Nnewi alone are enough to make the South East third most productive zone after South South and South West.

But the fo+olishness of the Almajiri in good clothes is the weak-link empowering rascals who come to destroy our economy.

Even North East , North Central and North west with all the challenges they're having with terrorism still beat us?

That's a shame.

We must have a re-think.

As far as you are in Nigeria or your family members are in Nigeria keep h@t£ aside and be mindful of the things you support.

They started sh©©ting protesters in SE. Some northerners and most yorobahs were cheering the military and buhari government that sent them. Now "shoot on sight" during protest has become a norm in Nigeria.

The people that were shouting "k!LL dem all, target practice" never knew a day will come when they too and their mothers will be targeted just because of mere protest.
What a world.

That means you are still a t©©dler.

The more you blame Tinubu for everything, the more people you convince that you are not constructive but reckless.

You even blame Tinubu for your world known drug dealings when your own leader you want to force on everyone still has drug mule in Asian jail.

By the way, this is coming from someone who did not vote for Tinubu but your reckless blames and criticism exposed your ulterior motives.

But your god (tinibu) and you lots were blaming oga Jona for everything during GEJ's tenure. And during that time, it never occurred to you and your likes that, the more you blame GEJ for everything the more people you convince that you are not constructive but reckless.

Wow! what a "temporary suspension" from the one and only HELINUES (Tinubu/APC Number Fan Of Nairaland)!

I read the thread "Temporary Suspending My Support For This Government".... in which helinues made a funny announcement of "temporarily" burying his/her evil past....

Since 2015, you supported all evil policies of APC, Buhari and Tinubu leading to the destruction of so many lives in Nigeria.... Now you find it convenient to "temporarily" jump ship? I told you on several threads that you will be the one wailing over Tinubu before he leaves power.... I told you that you will not escape the consequences of his evil government as it will eventually consume you.... now the chickens have finally come home to roost! Your senses seem to have been restored, it is now functional to realize that human life been wasted daily over Tinubu's willful incompetence should mean something....

To all other yoruba tribal champions on Nairaland actively supporting Tinubu and his evil government, let helinues ordeal and action serve as a pointer that nothing good comes from supporting evil, promoting hateful tribalism or praising bad governance.... If you do not change your ways, you will not also escape whatever evil consequencies that may arise from your actions. What happened to helinues will happen to you as well until you openly confess on Nairaland and renounce your evil deeds just like he/her did....

There is no peace for the wicked.....

That is to say all the insults and abusive words, he hipped on Igbos and obidients for not supporting tinibu and APC has gone back to him

That's good!

Forgetting that English is a borrowed language and not our language.
Have you seen any white man making jest of the other, just because of Igbo or yorobah languages? Sh@me!

Besides, what I posted is stewpiid to you because, your pineal gland cannot dissect anything that is truthful.

Analysing the Long-Debated Question: Who Was the Leader of the Jan 15, 1966 Coup – Major Nzeogwu or Major Ifeajuna?

By Emeka Esogbue

The question of who truly led the January 15, 1966 coup; whether it was Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu or Major Emmanuel Arinze Ifeajuna remains one of the most contested subjects in Nigeria’s political history. More than half a century later, historians, eyewitnesses, and surviving conspirators continue to offer conflicting narratives, each shaped by personal memory, regional loyalties, or ideological interpretation. This article revisits the long-debated issue by examining primary testimonies, the strategic design of the coup, and the divergent events in Lagos and Kaduna, in order to provide a nuanced and evidence-based understanding of a question that has resisted easy resolution.

It is apt to begin with brief biographical notes on the two principal actors. Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu was born on 26 February 1937 in Kaduna to Anioma parents from Umuomake village in Obodogwugwu Quarters, Okpanam, in present-day Delta State. After his primary and secondary education, he enlisted in the Nigerian Army in 1957 and later trained as an infantry officer at Sandhurst. Emmanuel Arinze Ifeajuna, born in 1935 in Onitsha, distinguished himself early as an athlete and won a scholarship to study at the University College, Ibadan (now the University of Ibadan). He joined the Nigerian Army in the early 1960s, rising through the ranks and serving in the Lagos Garrison.

While the participation of both officers in the January 1966 coup is unquestioned, the issue of leadership remains contentious. The concept itself is complicated within a military institution where secrecy is integral to plotting. Who qualifies as the leader of a coup, the ideological architect, the operational commander, or the public face? Many Nigerians understandably assume Nzeogwu was the leader because he announced the coup over Radio Kaduna. However, this assumption collapses when compared with similar coups in Nigerian history.

For instance, the July 1966 counter-coup that overthrew General Aguiyi-Ironsi was publicly announced by Lt. Col. Yakubu Gowon. Yet Gowon was not the originator; he was a compromise Head of State acceptable to the junior northern officers who actually planned and executed the coup. Likewise, when Col. Joseph Garba announced the 1975 coup that brought Murtala Mohammed to power, he acted only as spokesman; Murtala and other officers were the real planners. Similarly, Sanni Abacha announced the 1985 coup that elevated Ibrahim Babangida but was not the mastermind. Public announcement does not equal leadership.

Beyond public perception, Nzeogwu’s visible and daring role in Kaduna also contributed to the belief that he was the mastermind. He carried out arrests of senior officers, seized the armoury, established roadblocks, and declared martial law. His personal courage made him a heroic figure in the aftermath, and his charismatic style often overshadowed the quieter, strategic roles of others.

Yet, Nzeogwu’s colleagues consistently described him as impulsive, an officer who, once committed to a cause, threw himself into it with more intensity than even the initiators. Olusegun Obasanjo, in My Watch, recounts an incident when Nzeogwu disregarded the guidance of his company commander during UN peacekeeping preparations in Congo. Convinced his own method was superior, Nzeogwu completed the assignment his way, creating tension between him and the commander. This anecdote illustrates Nzeogwu’s temperament: bold, uncompromising, and action-driven.

As many scholars including Nowa Omoigui, Max Siollun, and Onwuchekwa Jemie have argued, Nzeogwu was not the conceptual leader of the January 1966 coup. Rather, historical evidence indicates that the coup idea originated within a small inner circle consisting of Major Emmanuel Ifeajuna, Major Adewale Ademoyega, Captain Ben Gbulie (who joined later), Captain Emmanuel Nwobosi, and Major Don Okafor. These officers formed the original nucleus of the plot, at which stage Nzeogwu was not yet involved.

Adewale Ademoyega’s Why We Struck, the most authoritative first-person account from within the coup’s inner cell, states clearly that he and Ifeajuna initiated the planning. They later brought Nzeogwu into the conspiracy because his position in Kaduna, as well as his natural boldness, made him indispensable for the northern axis. In short, Nzeogwu was invited into the plot not the originator but his strategic importance quickly elevated him to one of its principal operational commanders.

When the coup commenced, the difference in discipline became evident. Nzeogwu executed his Kaduna assignments as planned, but Ifeajuna deviated from the agreed strategy in Lagos. When General Aguiyi-Ironsi regained control and loyal troops moved against the mutineers, Ifeajuna fled. Ademoyega records that Ifeajuna escaped from Lagos to the Eastern Region, crossed into Dahomey (now Benin), and returned only after the outbreak of the Biafran War.

Meanwhile, after taking control of the North, Nzeogwu declared martial law, issued public statements, and maintained the illusion that the coup could still succeed unaware that Lagos had collapsed. When news of failure reached him, he realized the northern operation could not stand alone. Persuaded by Colonel Conrad Nwawo, his mentor who assured him of fair treatment, Nzeogwu surrendered.

Within Biafra, Ifeajuna’s return became entangled in wartime suspicion. He, along with Victor Banjo, Philip Alale, and Sam Agbam, was accused of actions deemed contrary to Biafra’s survival. They were tried by a wartime tribunal and executed in 1967.

In the final analysis, while Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu became the symbol of the January 15 coup due to his dramatic Kaduna operation and broadcast, the available evidence shows that he was not the leader of the plot. The coup’s ideological conception, initial planning, and early coordination originated with Ifeajuna, Ademoyega, and a small Lagos-based inner circle. Nzeogwu’s role though crucial was operational, not foundational. His later prominence has overshadowed the quieter, strategic work of the true initiators. Thus, despite his bravery and public visibility, Nzeogwu was not the leader of the coup, but rather one of its most committed executors.

So, OP what exactly are you insinuating?
And putting Igbo name there will not change the fact that, the coup was led by Nzeogwu and the reason for the coup was to install awolowo as the president.

Imo State would've been carved into Rivers State had the gas deposits in Imo State been discovered before the war. By now people of IMO will be online shouting I no be Igbo, and ORLU would have been changed to RUMUORLU, OWERRI TO RUMUOWERRI AND EVEN OKIGWE TO RUMUKIGWE.
Then our brothers speaking Igbo in imo state will change their names to PERRY CUP, JOHN PEPPER, IRON ROD, etc, saying that they are South South or Rivers Igbos but not Igbo. there would have been a propaganda flying everywhere that imo igbos are from BENIN or OKENE.
Thanks be to God that this GAS wasn't discovered durirng those days in IMO STATE, if not, i dont know what would have happened to imo state of today.

I also heard that the Nigeria government has already sent their colonial masters like BORIS JOHNSON TO SECURE THE PLACE FOR THEM, AND DANGOTE IS NOW PLANING OF DEVELOPING IN THE SAME REJECTED DOT OF A NATION.
This are so many evil that Nigeria did to igbos in Riverline areas just to divide them. But I am happy that they are now coming back to their senses.

You just nailed it correctly.

SultanYoung:
tell me how are the south east marginalized if you can explain I will greatly appreciate.

You want to know how SE is marginalized? Ok, I will tell you.

Other geopolitical zones has 6 states, only SE has five.
SE has the worst train and railway network in Nigeria.
No international airline lands or takes off in SE.
No federal presence in SE
Lagos port is congested because of FG want to frustrate Southeasterners

And many more..

Thunderfayamods:
This is one of the most stewpiiid comments I will read this year, very meaningless!

You are nob©dy in the scheme of things so, it doesn't matter what you think about my post.

What matters here is that what I posted here is the truth.

aswani:
He showed repentance but obviously still has to protect himself from those that are still terrorists so bikonu, allowed him the shakabula

protect himself from what exactly? He is the terrorist for crying out loud. Ok, KANU your tribe convicted and sentenced did government see him holding a knife?

Hypocrites!

otipoju:
So the things we heard on his live broadcast with our own ears are false...especially where he ordered 2,000 heads to be buried with Ikonso.

Or where he said he knows that some of his people will not obey his orders to sit at home and instead go looking for their daily bread and they will be killed.

Or where he was boasting he will go to Abuja and bring Buhari back in chains .

Like I said, that you deny reality does not stop it from being reality. He has been served a dose of reality, you all can bleat all you want.

Who killed ikonso and for what reason? Your government can't go about killing innocent people through their security forces and expect peace and love in return things are not doing that way.

In advanced country they treat their citizens well so the citizens can be patriotic in return. But in Nigeria people hate and pray for the downfall of Nigeria courtesy of bad government and leaders.

Buhari's government and the army were quick in killing ikonso an innocent man, while the same buhari was busy pardoning boko haram members in the name of "repentant". Kanu was right for demanding the things he demanded for ikonso's burial.

Lastly, what you call reality is nothing but APC media lies and propaganda. Kanu will be free one day, and you and your likes will bury your heads in shame.

aswani:
The aboki showed repentance, Ohamdike on the other hand was abusing the judge sitting on his case. Who does that?

Abeg which kind people dey Nigeria as citizen? So the aboki showed repentance with AK-47 assault rifle and multiple cartridges. Na so them dey take show repentance in your village abi?

otipoju:
It is good to console oneself.

A Person that ordered other human beings to be killed deserves no sympathy from me.

Life is too sacred to be demanding that people be killed simply because they want to going about their normal business on Mondays when you want them to sit at home in protest.

Ordering Nigerian soldiers and policemen to be killed for being employed by the government deserves more than life sentence as punishment.

Ordering government owned buildings and vehicles to be burned to the ground is not activitism...it is terrorism

You can try and rebrand Kanu as a peaceful activist...he was not. He was an anarchist a blood thirsty murderer, a megalomaniac, fraud and charlatan.

Simon Ekpa did not have to personally kill anyone in Nigeria before he was arrested tried and convicted for acts of terrorism in far away Finland.

The same thing with Adeyinka Grandson, the yoruba seccession he was arrested, tried and convicted for in UK for inciting hatred against other tribes in Nigeria ...

Mind you, I have always been anti establishment and believe that if a marriage is not working, it is okay to seek divorce.

Nevertheless a mother won't kill the children so as to get the divorce she wants from their father. Especially when she is guilty of infidelity and not as innocent as sge think she is.

The first Nigerian coup saw Igbo soldiers kill the political and military leaders of other tribes including their wives totalling 22. While they spared their own leaders who were Igbo.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1966_Nigerian_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat

How do you think the indigenes of other tribes in that era would feel.

He who comes to equity must come with clean hands. You are not the victims that you feel you are.

Let me say something concerning the bolded. It doesn't matter what you think or believe, what matters is the truth.

It's either you are ignorant of the whole Kanu and IPOB issue or you are not a truthful person.
The truth remains that Kanu never ordered for people or anybody to be killed because of "sit at home" protest. Am saying this for the records, not for you nor your likes to believe.

Don't forget in a hurry that the security forces (army and police) were killing peaceful protesters in SE. And it was the support and cheering the government and security forces were getting from people like you, in the internet that provoked Kanu and his men. I don't know if you lots were expecting love and handshake from Kanu and his men, after killing his people just because they protested against marginalisation and bad governance?

As far as we the sane Nigerians are concerned, KANU is innocent and he is the best thing that has ever happened to reasonable Nigerians.

Why are igbos no get shame at all?

yorobahs get shame?

Morenikeji090:
Mumu boy man like you. We told you frm beginning some chest beating are saying you can’t be jail now sup sokoto prison love and suit you stay there wack boy like you.

You are among the people that made protest a game of death in Nigeria currently. When you were cheering security forces for kpaing innocent SE youths just because they were protesting against marginalisation and bad governance.

Now no tribe or state can protest in Nigeria freely now, without receiving hot bullets from security forces.

This same evil support from you and your likes has ruined your judiciary I now understand Kanu's words when he said he will destroy Nigeria. I thought he will achieve that with guns and bombs. I never knew his actions is what will make people like you to be shooting themselves in the leg thinking they shooting Kanu.

BREAKING: Nnamdi Kanu is reportedly set to be transferred to Zamfara State Pr!son after authorities claimed he has “successfully converted” more than 300 inmates, mostly Muslims, at Sokoto Prison to Judaism/christianity, where he is currently being held.

According to a senior pr!son insider, “The influence he has gained inside the facility is unbelievable. Every week, more inmates gather around him for prayers and teachings.

Another official, speaking off-record, said, “The leadership is concerned he’s becoming too powerful in Sokoto. The proposed transfer to Zamfara is to ‘restore balance’ inside the pr!son.

By the time Kanu will be through with Nigeria the tribe that convicted and sentenced him will know that hate and oluwole is not good.
