THE STORY HAD ALREADY BEEN TOLD, YOU CANNOT MAKE ADDITION OR SUBTRACTION.


THE NAMES ARE THEIR AND YOU WILL FIND YORUBAS AND HAUSA, ALONGSIDE MIDDLEBELT, SS AND IGBOS.


CASUALTY, FEATURED LESS IGBO LEADERS AND THAT WAS THEIR GOOSE.

The story which has Igbo people as the leaders of the coup plotters. You mean you want to blame the naive junior officers who were drawn in by the senior Igbo officers who masterminded the coup with Ironsi and Azikiwe? You dey mad?

Also, every regional leaders were killed! Except the Igbo leaders! Everyone knows it was an Igbo coup.

He signed unitary government that provoked the north to install Gowon but yet he didn't reverse it setting the stage for a civil war by Ojukwu...

Please let us stop the lies Ironsi didn't abolish regions technically. The person who actually abolished regions was Gowon.

Igbo military leader? You must be joking.

He was killed by his fellow Igbo because he refused to hand over the keys and he was no leader. He was a junior officer who had no position sef.

Aguiyi Ironsi did not create states as replacement for regions, he rather appointed military Governors for the regions and made decree 34 to help him get hold of power to control the already boiling nation.


If he had created states and replaced regions with it, then you can say he destroyed regional system in Nigeria but he didn't, it was Gowon through the counsel of Awolowo that created 12 states and canceled regional governments, you guys should stop lying to make Igbos look guilty all the time, the time for peddling lies is over with internet and social media okay?



also can you explain why azikiwe was fightng awolowo and enahoro tooth and nail to remove the secession clause from the Constitution ? awolowo and enahoro wanted the secession clause so that if you are not happy with the direction nigera is going you can pull out and govern your own region. azikiwe fought them hard and cancelled the secession clause. now we are all trapped in zoogeria cry

He needs to drum it into you guy's lying skulls cos you demons of the west love twisting history to paint Igbos black in order to deceive other Nigerians to join you in your unjust hatred for Igbos.

The time and era of fabricating lies from your brown envelope media houses are gone, the internet is here, quit lying foolishly and learn.

What was my post and what is your argument? It is obvious you have comprehension issues and would do you good to seek understanding of a post before you comment.

He was a junior officer without position. So why wouldn't he hold the keys? He didn't want to hand it over because of the fear of his senior officer hence his Igbo brethren killed him. So how's he an Igbo leader? You dey mad?

Johnson Thomas Umunnakwe Aguiyi-Ironsi was actually assassinated by a group of mutinous Northern Nigerian officers and men who were led by Major Murtala Mohammed and included Captain Theophilus Danjuma, Lieutenant Muhammadu Buhari, Lieutenant Ibrahim Babangida and Lieutenant Sani Abacha in a revolt against his government in what was popularly called the July counter-coup.... BUHARI'S hatred for the igbo's didn't start today,one of the reasons they removed history from the Nigeria school calendar,these are men worthy of celebration by those who really know their root....JUST like our father who fought queen Elizabeth and his British empire that includes Nigeria told us everything about the genocide they committed in igbo land,we shall also tell our children everything.

Normally! The bastards are never getting away all the propaganda and lies they keep telling themselves over the years about the GENOCIDE. Them go continue they gaslight themselves. The IGBOS know their history and it's out there for anyone with a common sense and eyes to see.

Yorubas should keep deceiving themselves, same with Northerners. grin grin "Igbos are the cause of the civil war, they should suffer some more" "Chief Awolowo should have sacrificed more of those useless kwashiokor Biafran babies, by extending the blockade" "3.5 million biafrans was too little, the GENOCIDE should have been finished once and for all". "Useless IGBOS crying after loosing a war what did they expect hugs and kisses" . All these hate speeches and the most insensitivity is a tip of the gross wickedness and hatred these folks possess in their souls.

Till tomorrow not one single yoruba soul anywhere in the world has the decency or integrity to admit, not stand up for IGBO ni nioo ( that's practically impossible for fear of being called Omo Ale) , just admit a simple truth that the latter methods adopted in the war by the most heartless and evil "Chief Awolowo" who is basically worshipped and venerated by the yoruba race obviously for spearheading the most infamous blockade that starved millions of biafrans to death was a terrible act or was not good. Not one yoruba man can admit that this man did something bad in the eyes of God and men. I have searched the corners of this earth, if you have seen one show me.

We sabi say no be today IGBOPHOBIA start. For all their efforts to bury the SUN, it always keeps rising in their effing faces. We know our history and so will my kids and their kids after them. If you like eat the corpse of your suicidal Patron, venerate him to the high heavens, song hymns and praises to him. Evil and hate filled hypocrites! He will forever be known for what he is, Which is a suicidal, baby killing, envious, IGBO hating coward, who could not meet soldiers in the field even though they outgunned and outmanned them in every way possible, none is more evil than that guy. "All is fair in war" definitely the extermination of the third largest tribe in Nigeria. If it were not for maybe the cries of the foreign media and red cross these people would have poisoned the waters of biafra, even used chemical weapons if they knew how to. People who were forced to self preservation after being deliberately and regimentallly massacred and murdered in a series of POGROMS sponsored by the Nigerian state.

One thing that even us IGBOS don't know is that beyond our extreme bravery and ingenuity we have God to thank, I am sure I wouldn't be here typing if my grandmother had died during the war she was pregnant when it began and basically lost most of my uncles during the war, oldest was around 14 she was carrying my dad and later birthed him in the midst of debris, dead bodies and shrapnels. how they survived till date is still a mystery.

You people should keep masturbating on the Biafran war and wishing that the igbo was wiped off. I wish there truly was God some of you deserve the hottest part of hell. Because of self guilt and fear, the bastards had sworn that IGBO will never be president grin grin, they know the evil they have done, the fear of what we may do in retaliation freaks the whole nation, even when IGBOS have moved on and obviously are not the vindictive type, a fact I absolutely hate.

Long live IGBO the greatest tribe of Africa. May the sun continue to rise and prove that who God has blessed no man can curse!
