Why was the counter coup targetted at all Igbo officers instead of Nzeogwu and his boys?

I dunno, maybe you should go and ask the executors of the counter-coup. But maybe it was because they were easier targets. According to available records, the Jan. 15 plotters had been transferred to prisons in the East, so naturally the counter coup plotters had no access to them unlike their kin in the North and the West.

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

I guess their sin here is that they are the first to execute coup because, there were records of other coups that happened thereafter, even after the civil war.
Why are other perpetrators not been vilified too, some have been rewarded with presidential seat?

The Nzeogwu Kaduna coup began the journey towards the civil war.


It was also unnecessarily bloody.


Why kill the Prime Minister when you already had him? Was that necessary?


Why kill Ahmadu Bello?



Brig. Samuel Ademulegun was even in bed when the drunken coup plotters came. He was not putting up any resistance. They not only killed him, they killed his 8 month pregnant wife as well.


Why?


The only man who put up resistance was Chief S.L.K. Akintola who exchanged gunfire with the coup plotters until he exhausted his ammunition.



That coup intensified tribalism in Nigerian Army (something previously unheard of).



To make matters worse, JTU Aguiyi Ironsi made it seem like he was pampering the coup plotters.


Affected regions were pissed off that their sons were brutally murdered, and all everyone wanted was for Aguiyi Ironsi to execute the coup plotters. But when it seemed like he would not do that, the harmony in the Nigerian Army began to die, until finally there was a mutiny in the Army.


Igbo soldiers began to be targeted and killed. Imagine, an army which used to be one, which used to be praised as "a place for gentlemen" became divided along ethnic lines.

First of all it wasn't an Igbo coup as there were more Yorubas actively involved in it.

Did you ever asked why a traditional ruler was the first target in that coup?

That is to prove to you that the problem in Nigeria at time had it's starting point from his palace

A coup is not right . Killing anybody is not right. For whatever reason, it was wrong and will always be wrong! No excuse for it whatsoever!

You mentioned it below, clearly written. Anyone who has heard the story ll know you are talking about Tinubu. Dunno if you are Igbo or a disguising Hausa/Fulani cos those ones can play dirty politics anyhow or you are just a political analyst or a paid lapdog. All I ll tell you is use wisdom to stand for truth & justice. A person that's right may become wrong if he/she fights blindly. Igbos are the cause of their marginalisation. From the mistakes of Ojukwu prior to the Biafran war back to Aguiyi Ironsi's acts that looked like he pardoned the first coup plotters to deliberately hating Awolowo that he's the one that told federal govt to stop allowing Igbos to v access to food during war etc.

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
one thing leads to another without the coup they wouldn’t have been killings of Igbo in the North and then the war

Probably because of the belief that as the first coup it kickstarted a chain of events that lasted for 33 years and that the coup had sectional overtones with brutal murders of civilians in the North and Lagos and none in the East. These may all be sentiments but people are made of flesh and blood not computer code.

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

A deranged assassin has no place in Nigerian honor list. We are coming to tear the shitty statue down.

The earlier the masses understand the Divide-and-rule system being used to weaken the supposed be one voice, the, they will cease to be manipulated by the common enemies, the politicians. Every four years, they hire an individual to defend them and sell them to the people. Imagine APC that has left every Nigerian trying to japa is promising to be the hope of Nigerians. And people are coming out to campaign for them. Let the Presidential candidate and his Vice organise a town hall meeting with the youths as Mr Peter Obi has been doing. Let the people ask them the fundamental questions. Imagine with the evidence of Shettima hands in Boko Haram, terrorism, they are pushing him to become the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. GOD FORBID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Peter Obi is part of the old system, nothing like divide and rule, everyone is fighting for his state and people, igbos are bigots. We are not one.

Quite important to note that ,uptil today , Igbos in Delta State claim they're not Igbo ..

Isn't that funny?

Same way ikwerre claim they're not Igbo

It's not true. You can say few and those few are mostly those who migrated later from either Edo or Igala and were assimilated by the indigenous Igbos. They still attach importance to their ancestry but misunderstand the concept of ethnicity.
