Grow from this parochial sentiment and blind view of things. You obviously lack true historical knowledge of events of 1966 coups. Ironsi was a colossal failure in terms of leadership and don't even know the ABC of running a complex country like Nigeria. Mind you, iam Igbo too Redcrafton: 8 Likes |

Redcrafton: There were 13 Military formations of Which 11 were headed by Easterners many of them Sandhurst Trained Officers almost all who fled to the East instead of making any attempt to rescue the Kidnapped head of State General Ironsi and his host Col Fajuyi The one at Abeokuta was Killed and his death was the Trigger for the Northern Counter Coup gen ogundipe alone was the only one who sent Soldiers to Confront the July 1966 Coup plotters twice In the First atttempt the Military Cooks,Clerks and Technicians that ogundipe had quickly assembled were Ambushed near the Airport and 30 of them were Killed also killed were 2 European Citizens At the 2nd attempt gen ogundipe sent gowon to engage with the Coup plotters and get them to surrender but gowon was Captured as a hostage by them and after 2 days they made him their new Leader and head of State All the Eastern Officers who were battalion Commanders with Troops and Artillery had fled for their lives to the East and Completely abandoned gen ogundipe So with what exactly did they expect ogundipe to fight with since Ironsi their kinsman had diligently made sure that ogundipe had no fighting Infantry Troop formations under him that he could Command since almost all the Battalions were Commanded by Easterners for reasons best known to Ironsi The remaining 2 battalions were Commanded by Northerners of which the Commander at Ibadan was a big part of the Coup and Shuwa in far away Kano was already dealing with the Mutiny in Kano 11 Likes 1 Share |

christistruth01:Eastern officers and men that have already been decimated in the barracks by their northern counterparts in their sleep.. The few who were lucky to miraculously make it to the east had to organise 'waking ceremonies' after their people had earlier organised funeral ceremonies to mourn their 'demise' . Soldiering is never for the weak hearts.. things began deteriorating when brig ogundipe abdicated his duty. Thats fair weather soldiering. You are a soldier and enjoying all the benefits,respect and honor that comes with it. But when its time to take responsibility and initiative,u suddenly remembered it is a risky job.No excuses for that! All that is in the distant...ancient past now,but no use distorting facts just to feel good.. Cowardice in the army can lead to death of many.. it did in this case.. over 4m civillian lives 3 Likes |

CaptainAyub: I am not here to paint Ogundipe with a brush of competence, at least not politically. I have said it earlier that he was a conservative soldier like Ironsi and wouldn’t have fared any better if he was made head of state. As 2-1c to Gowon, Ogundipe was more interested in allocation of quarters to soldiers at the barracks than administering the burning country. He was also not prepared for politics. That’s is why I said things might have turned out differently for the country if the original plotters of 15th January, 1966 had taken over the government instead of the grossly incompetent government of Ironsi and Ogundipe. Ifeajuna, Nzeogwu, Ademoyega and the other majors were by far more educated and politically prepared for governance than old soldiers like Ironsi and Ogundipe. If you still want to keep playing the ethnic card after this, enjoy yourself. 5 Likes |

seunmsg: Ogundipe according to Gen Welby Everade the last British Head of Army was the most Competent Officer in the Nigerian Army that was why Gen Ironsi refused to put him in Charge of any Infantry Troop formations He Could have Checkmated any Sinister plan If he had troops under him Ironsi wanted Ogundipe to be a toothless bulldog and that backfired during the Northern Coup because Ogundipe had no Infantry Troops to Counter the Coup with To make matters Worse all the Surviving Easterneners who were infantry Commanders had all fled to the East It was only in 2 unavoidable circumstances that Ironsi allowed non Easterners to be in Charge of any Military formations with Troops Col Akahan at Ibadan because the Northern Troops there rejected any Southerners after their last 2 Northern GOCs Maimailari and Largema were Murdered in the Coup and Far away Kano Ogundipe had Joined the Army as a 17 year Old during the 2 nd World War and had fought in Burma against the Japanese Ogundipe knew Perfectly well those who were behind the January Coup that had Murdered the furious Northern Soldiers leaders he also knew Perfectly well why Ironsi didn't want him in Charge of any Infantry Troops 14 Likes 3 Shares |
