Some people may not know who Colonel Emmanuel Nwobosi is, but he was the last surviving member of the nine officers who executed Nigeria's first military coup on January 15th 1966. After the coup failed, Nwobosi was imprisoned in the East by Aguiyi-Ironsi. However, he was released by Ojukwu when he declared Biafra, promoted to Colonel, and later became Ojukwu's Chief Of Staff. Nwobosi would later fly out with Ojukwu into exile at the end of the war, made his way to Guyana where he became a Military advisor to the Guyanese government. He later moved to Canada where he lived for many years before returning to Nigeria. He retired to his hometown, Obosi, near Onitsha, and was given the title 'Ogene Obosi' by his people. Emmanuel Nwobosi died in November 2020 at the age of 81, but before then, he wrote a book called 1966: THE DARK TRUTH that was later published by his son after his death. This is what Nwobosi said in 2020 in his book about why he and others carried out the January 15th 1966 coup:-

Emmanuel Nwobosi

I am the last of the original coup planners of January 15, 1966 with Major Kaduna Nzeogwu. I knew Nzeogwu well. We went to school together. We trained at Sandhurst Military Academy, UK. We lived together. Nzeogwu was our first Head of Military Intelligence and uncovered terrible plans to wreak havoc across the country. We organised a group of progressive military officers to carry out a coup on 15th January, 1966 to stop a Jihad and bring sanity to a Nigeria steeped in nepotism, corruption and mass murders. The Government of Tafawa Balewa, controlled by the Premier of Northern Nigeria, Ahmadu Bello, were using us in the army to repress the Middle Belt and Western Nigeria. Houses and cars were burnt. Thousands were killed. All these happened between 1962- 66

There were nine of us that planned the January 15 Revolution: Majors Nzeogwu, Anuforo, Ifeajuna, Ademoyega, Chukwuka, Okafor, Onwuategwu, Obienu and myself. However, four of us started it. Major Ifeajuna and Major Ademoyega in the South; and Major Nzeogwu and myself in the North. We then united as a single revolution. I am the last of the four original revolutionaries. None published the complete truth. Only me, Colonel Nwobosi, is alive today, to tell the Final Truth, so that the lies will not triumph forever.

They used us to repress the Middle-belt and the Yorubas. When we saw genocide, we began to disobey orders and swore to stop them. For instance, Major Anuforo refused to release mass murderers caught with weapons, and was court martialled. He was replaced by Major Hassan Katsina, a Northern Muslim, willing to act. I was in Abeokuta but refused to repress Yorubas, instead I opened our barracks as a safe place for them to run to. They told many lies about the January 15 boys, to justify their genocide, but it is those of us that planned the revolution that they should have killed, not the three million innocent Biafrans that knew nothing.

For years I kept quiet, blaming myself and wondering whether at 27, I was too radical that my actions led to the deaths of millions. Today, the same evil in 1966 is being unleashed. As I watch, my sense of guilt has vanished, because we were not the evil. We were trying to stop the evil. That Evil is Radical Islamism. I have decided to speak out and warn the world of the impending disaster if we do not stop it.

Each time Radical Muslims plan a Jihad, in their religious mission to conquer the world, they will fail, but in the attempt, thousands and even millions will die. That happened to us in Biafra. At this point let me differentiate between peaceful, law-abiding Muslims and Radical Muslims who want to kill others to force their religion on them. The problem is that wherever peaceful Muslims are, there are some Radical Muslims amongst them. That is why they began a Jihad in 1966. That is why we had to stop it. That is why they killed millions of our people. That is why we declared Biafra, because we are a peaceful people and oil and water can never mix.

My story is a warning to Nigerians. For years, I was prevented from speaking the truth by exile, prison, harassment, poverty, surveillance and death threats held over many of the actors like Ojukwu, Zik, Awolowo, Ibiam and the January 15 boys that survived. But as I watch today, many of the events that led to our revolution are happening again: Boko Haram, Fulani Militia, Niger Delta Militants, Shiites, IPOB and mass murders.

Some people think we acted wrongly in carrying out the January 15 revolution, but they may not be fully aware of the realities then. We were trained by the British to be patriotic, to give the ultimate sacrifice for Nigerian and to stop anyone acting against the nation.

Instead of our leaders using us to defend Nigeria they were using us to suppress citizens. We, decided to arrest them for their atrocities because no one was willing to act. Not Zik, the President, who was powerless, not Ironsi, the Head of the Army, who was a conservative. There were many reasons why we had to act:
1. To stop the killings in Yoruba land and the Middle Belt by NPC the ruling Party;
2. To stop the invasion of Yorubaland on 17th January, 1966;
3. To correct the massive rigging of the 1964 elections;
4. To free Awolowo from Prison and make him the Prime Minister;
5. To stop the terrible corruption, nepotism and regionalism of the NPC, the Ruling Party;
6. To stop Ahmadu Bello’s planned Jihad.

It was good that we acted to save the Yoruba and the Middle Belt people, and we thought that was enough to stop the Jihad. We could not foresee that they would massively attack innocent Igbos. Blame those who decided to massacre our people for their evil.

All of them that participated in that bloody misadventure that over threw an Igbo coaliton government which Igbo political opponents continue to use against the Igbo nation till today.That coup was an anti Igbo coup from very aspect.The Yoruba people benefited from that coup more than any other ethnic while ndi Igbo lost everything as a result of that coup.

Before this year ends I know say Tinubu go borrow money from BRICS

Southeast political leadership Nnamdi Kanu wanted to destroy by brain washing,manipulating,indoctrinating and inciting the youths against the government and leadership in SE are reluctant in working for the release of the man who have radicalized the youths and turn them into a killing machine in SE.
The most important aspect of this case is that Nnamdi Kanu want to come out of DSS cage on his own terms, he and his lawyers want to defeat FG in their own courts and win an unconditional release that is the reason for his prolonged incarceration.

Yes o ndi Igbo Lagos should start supporting Tinubu's candidate in Lagos even go into alliance with him let him and his family rule Lagos forever.

PH is no longer part of eastern region. Attached by force people. We south south will never join you people.

After ranting and barking drink pure water and chill.

The recent Supreme Court judgment gave the right of the ownership of the shoreline to the Federal Government under the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), 250 meters from the point of the shoreline belongs to the FG under NIWA which means the land belongs to the FG.14 Apr 2024

Okay

WhizdomXX:
Anioma is not aspiring to join the southeast. We want a state of our own simple.

Then stop involving SE in your state creation agitation let me see how SS will get a 7th state.
You do not know the idea behind merging of Anioma state with SE came from Anioma people themselves.. .

Codes151:

brightleave:
Keep thinking 🤔 PDP master of initiator

We must give honour to whom it is due.
Buhari did this one.I am not even sure if GEJ had won re-election if he would have continued with the project considering how many white elephant projects they left behind.

Forkthiefnubu:
Yes buhari did it weda we like it or not he did it

That is a fact that can't be denied.Buhari did what PDP governments from 1999 to 2015 failed to do.

Okoroawusa:
You will live long.

Amen bro.

Codes151:
Typical Igbos...


we are telling you that he meddled in the tussle, u are here talking about Akwa Ibom govt.

una just dey rant at every given time.. clowns

Na your pahpah be clwon.

MadPolitician:
Sometimes you type as if you are posting from a beer parlor

Na you dey read and comment from ogogoro and anwuru joint.

You dey mind the ram?
Haters will always wait to hear bad news, evil is like oxygen to them. If they don't find something to hate, they kpai.

If landmark succeeds, it invalidates their existence, they exist to hate anything about progress.

What they can't make, they kill!

Their only wish is for him to fail like in their Lagos.

helinues:
Toh

That their sharing formula can't work.

Monkey can't be working make baboon dey chop

The governors proposed a good deal.

This court ruling have saved PDP from utter collapse in Rivers state.
Make we see how Wike wan take write election result for Tinubu in 2027.

NaMe4:
This is a Chief in Delta North.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArfQ4zv4Ql4?si=Ieyy_M-XgVTimVa0

No Chief is bigger than Sen Ned Nwodo the elected political leader of Delta North.
All the kings and stakeholders met at Asaba last year and endorse the move.But the point is that it is Anioma people who are agitating to be joined with SE.

NaMe4:
Ifaejuna was the mastermind of that coup.

Besides should Victor Banjo and Adeyemuga's involvement qualify the Southwest to join SE?

Anioma is the one aspiring to join SE they submitted a bill in national assembly and senate to be carved into SE region.

NEWSCENTER:
President Goodluck Jonathan initiated this project.

I think Buhari deserved more credit on this road project than GEJ.

Philistine:
Your are too ignorant. The issue he had in Lagos was with the FG, not state Government. But the Landmark Boss was trying to play the ethnic card to make it look like he was been victimized by the Lagos Government. If he does not do a proper check again, he would encounter the same problem he had in Lagos again.

Landmark encountered problem due to Lagos Calabar coastal highway that affected his business I am sure he wasn't the only one.

zero8zero:
LASG did not rent the shoreline to anybody, they are not even the owner of the shoreline but FG. Landmark guy only took advantage of the land space & set up structures on it until the owner, the FG gave him the boots in the butt.

He set up structures without approval from government?
Make you lie small na we still dey new years.
What about Ibeno beach he also occupied it illegally?

zero8zero:
All shorelines belong to FG, stop talking ignorantly.

Who rented Lagos shorelines to him?
Do you more than state government?

Enice:
if you had read his comment carefully, you would know that he is not attacking him but warning him of his greed. All shoreline up to 250m belongs to the FG and state governors have no say over it. Let him be wise this time. We don't want to hear that $500 million property was destroyed by the FG due to trespass of land

Is it FG that is in control of Lagos shorelines?
Shoreline where he errect facilities belongs to the state not the ocean.

gidgiddy madpolitician chiagozien IGBOPROMISE1 sultanofpiglets and every other supporters of terror won't like this.
Their foot soldiers are about to be roasted

shortgun:
He didn't read the article

He is just biased against the businessman for obvious reasons.

Codes151:
the owner should not take a land in tussle and do business with one side. That is wrong.

He did business with government of Akwa Ibom state.So the people should take their protest to the governor.

PressMyButton:
When scammer scammed a scammer,Lol. Why is he using Ibeno beach as a front?, why not Landmark?. He wants to cover up his fraud thinking the real owners won't know about it.

Where was it mentioned he scammed anybody?
The man have left Lagos and now investing in Eastern region from PH to Ibeno to Nike lake in Enugu where he just signed 35 years lease with Enugu sstate government..Pity yourself abeg.

Blitzerz:
Law abiding citizens dont celebrate forged certificates

Me I don't neither do I celebrate a Chicago drug lord.

ElSudani:
Azikiwe did that already. He even decided to take a powerless and ceremonial position just to spite some people. We know how it ended.

Awo could not hold back when opportunity came for him even if it is to serve as a deputy to a military junta.
