The logistics of the January 1966 coup is as follows:

Ifeajuna led the Lagos faction that went to Tafawa Balewa’s residence…. He is Igbo

Nzeogwu led the Northern faction in Kaduna…. He is Igbo

Nwobosi led the faction that went to Ibadan and killed Aare Akintola…. He is Igbo

Timothy Onwatwegu led the faction that went to Ademulegun’s house and killed him and his pregnant wife. He is Igbo.

Timothy Onwatwegu led the faction that went to Ralph Sodeinde’s house in Kaduna…. He is Igbo.

Ezedigbo led the faction that went to Okotie- Eboh’s house…. He is Igbo

Chris Anuforo led the faction that went to Col Kur Mohammed’s house…. He is Igbo

Donatus Okafor led the faction that went to Maimalari’s house. He is Igbo.

Lt Oguchi was sent to the East to kill Okpara…. He spared his life…. He was Igbo.

Everyone who died in the January 1966 coup was killed by Igbos. Nobody from another tribe pulled a trigger that killed anyone in the January 1966 coup.

To imagine that the January 1966 coup was not an Igbo agenda is an insult on the memory of the innocent victims that were brutally killed for no just cause.

Stop the Gaslighting ! THE NORTH PLANNED A COUNTER COUP IN JULY 66 AS A REVENGE AFTER THEY REALISED IT WAS AN IGBO AGENDA

THE NORTH COUP WAS WIDELY KNOWN AS “ NORTHERN COUP “ why ? Because most of the soldiers that carried out the coup were of Northern origin . We dont see them crying about it . They own it !!

Stop the victim crying already and stop disrespecting Dead because you are too weak to take responsibility for your actions ..

There was a reason court martial did not happen.

This event was later tagged an "ibo coup" by other ethnic groups in the country based on some chains of coincidences :

i. The Killing patterns – only one of the 22 casualties is of Ibo origin, while notable Ibo politicians like the Premier of Eastern region and military personnel like Ironsi were unharmed.

ii. The handing over of the government to Ironsi by Orizu (the acting president and the senate president who could have called for the formation of another civilian government) made it look like it was planned out all along.

iii. The unification decree of May 1966 promulgated by Ironsi, leading to the abolition of regional system of government. Historically speaking, the West and North have always believed in the regional system of government as the best form of government for a multiethnic like Nigeria, however this was taken away by Ironsi, leading to a massive outrage and pogrom in the North.

iv. The coup plotters, though kept in jail but were not sentenced.

Catualities.

What’s Aguiyi-Ironsi’s place in history?
The composition of the administration’s advisory team was also another source of discontent. Chief among them was Francis Nwokedi, an Igbo man and former permanent secretary in the Ministry of External Affairs, who had become close to him during his days in the Congo. Others were Pius Okigbo (economic adviser) and Lt. Col Patrick Anwunah who was later Chairman of the National Orientation Committee. The most common complaint against the appointments was that, although highly qualified and distinguished, they were either all Igbos or Igbo speaking.

On February 12, Ironsi took his most sensitive decision when he put Nwokedi in-charge of the establishment he set to work out the details of his unified Nigeria. He had also replaced the Attorney-General, Dr. Teslim Elias, with Gabriel Onyiuke, also of Igbo extraction. Similarly, Dr. Pius Okigbo became the Economic Adviser. Then, contrary to Katsina’s advice, he attempted to appoint Prof. J. C. Edozien from the University of Ibadan as the Vice Chancellor of the Ahmadu Bello University, instead of Prof. Ishaya Audu. When he effected promotions in the Army, of the 21 officers promoted from Majors to Lieutenant-Colonels, 18 were Igbo-speaking.

There are truths and there are facts. The truth can be twisted but the facts/results/outcomes can not be twisted.

People believed the coup was an Igbo coup for the following reasons:

1. most of the participants of the coup were Igbos
2. Most of the people killed in that coup were the hausas
3. The Igbo leader who should have been killed were spared
4. Aguiyi ironsi, an Igbo took over the mantle of leadership after coup
5. Ironsi failed to punish those who perpetrated the coup
6. Those making mockery of the north and their leaders after the coup were the Igbos (this was what provoke retaliation where many Igbos were killed in the north)
7. They said they planned the coup to make Awolowo the president but Aguiyi Ironsi was in power for about 6 months after the coup but failed to release Awolowo from prison.

Don't blame any body for believing that the coup was actually an Igbo coup. These fact proved beyond any atom of doubt that it was actually an Igbo coup.

A businessman and philanthropist, Olanrewaju George, has described All Progressives Congress as the right platform to drive development for the people.

George stated this in a letter to the APC Chairman of Ward 4, Sagamu Local Government, Ogun state on Monday when he officially defected to APC from the Labour Party alongside his team and key supporters.

He expressed confidence in the party’s vision.
He pledged loyalty to the party and a commitment to its growth and unity.

The LP defector emphasised his readiness to collaborate with party leaders and participate actively in its activities to strengthen its structure and electoral prospects.

“This decision marks a new chapter in our political journey. We are dedicated to working with the APC to achieve success and good governance,” he stated.

George, who is the Aare Tayese of Ikenne, said youth inclusion, provision of basic infrastructures and quality representatives were reasons why he re-joined the APC.

He said, “When you look around, you see the hopelessness on the faces of our youths from years of neglect by their elected representatives. When you look around, you can see that our people lack the basic amenities to make their lives easier.

“Everywhere you look, you see the glaring need for quality representation and APC is bridging the gap in these areas.”

George contested the Remo Federal Constituency seat in the House of Representatives in 2023.

Not true. If you naturalized and renounced your former citizenship, then you also can't be deported since you will only have 1 passport. Even still, to be deported as a naturalized is very hard.

Subsection 10(1) of the Citizenship Act provides the Minister with the authority to revoke a person’s Canadian citizenship or a person’s renunciation of citizenship if it was obtained, retained, renounced or resumed by one of the following:

* false representation
* fraud
* knowingly concealing material circumstances

Doesn't matter if she's born in Canada or not, as long as she holds a Canadian passport, she WILL NOT be deported.

She was high on Canadian loud 🚬

ogaemma:
Where are those people backing her and saying she is untouchable and unarrestable.
That Canadian laws will not hold her for what she did.
Ignorance will send many people to a journey of no return.

Now she is on her own.
Let her be deported back to the Agbado republic to reset and reformat her brain.
