I wonder how silly anyone will be not to atleast google who the police arrested for killing Funso something that is even on Wiki

Urchin, don't u think it's too early to cry

Hmmmmm what a country and they have been killing Igbos cus of something did by a south south person. What a wicked country

TechW:
So Nzeogwu is not from Anambra state or SE?
I learned that he was brought up in Kaduna

Nzeogwu's father was a servant (gardener) in late Ahmadu Bello's house so Chukwuma Nzeogwu was adopted by late Ahmadu Bello (Sarduana and the then Premier of Northern Nigeria) and was brought up in Ahmadu Bello's house in Kaduna.

Ahmadu Bello was the one that gave Nzeogwu the name Kaduna and it was Ahmadu Bello that educated and put him in the army.

But like all S/E Nzeogwu was a snake that can not be loved as he was the one that came back to kill his benefactor

OkutaNla:


Yes, a revolution that culminated in the mass slaughter of millions of Igbos in a needlessly war.

His coup is not what started the war, his coup happened 18 months before the war started

What caused the war was Gowon's refusal to honour the Aburi agreement he signed

Emperorx:
oga say what u can defend ooo

Defend Kee u there.

This man started to divide this country along tribal lines by selectively killing Northern and southwest politicians while leaving politicians from his own tribe untouched.

Nigeria was once together but now we are torn apart along tribal lines started by this guy.

I wonder why they erected his statue and what this is doing on fp on a Monday morning.

Including Saduana and the then Prime Minister

Kewtt:


That town should be razed to ashes. It truncated the Nigeria of our dreams. The statue makes everyone there an accomplice. An evidence of why we must not vote anything from that region ever

It is those who say that his coup truncated the Nigeria of their dreams that have been ruling Nigeria since then, and brought us to where we are today

that statue must have been there for a very long time, why are you bringing it up now, you merchants of evil will not succeed, these highly currupt ancestors we call politicians must be retired

They've always been envious of other people. It didn't just start today. The hatred in them can boil yam..

He led the first coup haters started war against his people.
Then after that what happened coup after coup. Why didn't haters fight the families of those that followed?
Some of you don't even know that Buhari too embarked on a coup to topple a democratic government.

Nzeogwu did his not for Igbos but for his comrades in the army and he's not the only guilty one.
Abacha, Buhari and Babangida are also guilty.

Moh247:
I wonder what an Ogbomoso indegene must feel... Same guy that killed Samuel Ladoke Akintola

You mind that tribe? This is very insensitive

The Americans are even dismantling confederate statues and here we are in 2023 and someone thought it a good idea to erect the statue of a man who started Nigeria on a road to perdition

This statue is provocation

Bantu10:


Same thing true lagosians feel seeing the man who killed Funsho Williams going about campaigning to be president

Can you defend this statement in court?

Noted.

To be revisited

AdaojoTheUrchin:


They know that their our fellow yorubas Ademoyega, Fola Oyewole, Ganiyu Adeleke were actively involved in the coup as documented in Ademoyega's book- Why we struck'.

No matter how we yoruba Muslims try to hide those facts for propaganda sake. Internet has come to stay.

It's a fact that Yorubas were the major players in that coup.

This nzeogwu was popular because he singlehandedly killed the man that wants to convert Nigeria to a Sharia state.

Now I understand why major murtala Mohammed decipated asaba with reckless abandone. For those that love knowledge, read about the habitual killing of asaba natives during the civil war. I have always wondered why the vengeful massacre. Now I understand why.

Kewtt:

Well blame those who have been ruling Nigeria for over 50 years since the end of the war for that

Courageous young man back then...a lot of intelligent and courageous young men were in army...not this time we have chicken hearted men and illiterates..

TechW:

all the people that participated in that coup they call Igbo coup non of them is from South East


They are all from Delta Igbo and urhobo and one yoruba ....

No South East Igbo is there

Nigeria lied to you about the coup.

I swear if you read this Nzeogwu Speech and shame no dey still catch you, you are not a true NIGERIAN. Nzeogwu Speech "This is the end of the Extraordinary Order of the Day which you will soon begin to see displayed in public. My dear countrymen, no citizen should have anything to fear, so long as that citizen is law abiding and if that citizen has religiously obeyed the native laws of the country and those set down in every heart and conscience since 1st October, 1960.

Our enemies are the political profiteers, the swindlers, the men in high and low places that seek bribes and demand 10 percent; those that seek to keep the country divided permanently so that they can remain in office as ministers or VIPs at least, the tribalists, the nepotists, those that make the country look big for nothing before international circles, those that have corrupted our society and put the Nigerian political calendar back by their words and deeds.

Like good soldiers we are not promising anything miraculous or spectacular. But what we do promise every law abiding citizen is freedom from fear and all forms of oppression, freedom from general inefficiency and freedom to live and strive in every field of human endeavour, both nationally and internationally. We promise that you will no more be ashamed to say that you are a Nigerian.

I leave you with a message of good wishes and ask for your support at all times, so that our land, watered by the Niger and Benue, between the sandy wastes and gulf of guinea, washed in salt by the mighty Atlantic, shall not detract Nigeria from gaining sway in any great aspect of international endeavour. My dear countrymen, this is the end of this speech."

VOTE WISELY O

War would have still happened even without the coup. The Islamic jihadist, Sarduana of Sokoto was already pushing the country towards that lane with his open hatred of the Igbos before that coup.

I am of the opinion that the coup kept this nation together because Sarduana of Sokoto probably had in mind to divide the North away from Nigeria.

He every inch was a Hitler in the making.
The only thing is the coup plotters who handled the Lagos part didn't do their side of the job effectively.

Bantu10:

Oga, Yorubas were actively involved and more in number in the coup. Nzeogwu was just the leader (false proclamation though) because he tried to stop Nigeria from being islamized

This is the reason why Nigeria deleted history studies in schools

gidgiddy:
Okpanam is an Igbo town on the outskirts of Asaba, capital of Delta State. Years ago, the indigenes erected a statue in memory of Chukwuma Nzeogwu, their famous son who led Nigeria's first coup

People of Okpanam still believe that Nzeogwu led more than a coup, they believe he led a revolution

So they are Eulogizing someone who killed the paramount traditional ruler of another tribe without any valid reason? A problem of the Saudana account revealed he had only £60 in his bank account at the time of his death. Is that how to lead a revolution?

As you know, those that live by the sword, die by the sword.

they just want to create division among obi supporters but they have failed already, we are talking about Nigeria and how to put in a good leader, obi is the way forward, you Yoruba islamists will not succeed, bihari has thought we Christians and liberal moslems a great lesson

They have forgotten that he was a killer

Bantu10:

Don't misquote me sir, I m not a Tinubu supporter.
But I know the history you are twisting.
Firstly, if not for national reconciliation, Nzeogwu shouldn't be celebrated. In fact, he should v been killed ingloriously before he orchestrated his death in the Biafra war.
2ndly, Ladoke Akintola that he killed was a respected citizen. The Igbos had grouses with the northerners prior to the Biafran war. It's wasn't Yorubas that were killing Igbos in the north. So why the transfer of aggression on Yoruba leaders at that time? They wanted Balewa and Ahmadu Bello. The officers that killed Akintola could v shot him in the leg or arm if he was too stubborn for them.
3rdly, he said they were cleaning the govt and spared Nnamdi Azikiwe. That's padipadi arrangement of brothers from same tribe. He was freed by Aguiyi Ironsi, that's a traitor move and at the end, he joined forces with Biafra. The whole activities later led to an avoidable war that eventually made the Igbos pay bitterly for.
I m not here to justify that Igbos deserve whatever they get but we must show that while we are still together in Nigeria, our agitations, arguments should be logical.
I m sure some ll still misquote me and get e-knock on their head!

Nigeria lied to you about the coup.

So what is the truth?
