Yiibos love fooling themselves, thinking they're smart. A coup that killed the most senior northern military officer and the most senior western military officer, but spared the most senior yiibo military officer (in fact, power was handed over to him) should be termed what? A couple that killed the regional heads of the north and west, while sparing the regional head of the yeast (who happened to be yiibo) should be called what?

Penguin2:
Because of this year’s election, this year’s Armed Forces Remembrance Day has taken different dimensions with some elements trying to remind some Nigerians who killed their ancestors.

But what is most interesting is that all of these people are tagging the infamous 1966 coup as an Igbo coup as they have always done; erroneously so.

But it was this same people that would remind the Aniomas of Delta State that they are not Igbos.

So, I want to know what changed… Kaduna Nzeogwu is from Okpanam in Delta State.

Why is Kaduna Nzeogwu from Okpanam an Igbo man but Okpanam is not an Igboland, and everyone else in Okpanam are not Igbos?

A Coup that was masterminded, orchestrated and executed by key heartless people like ; Chukuwama Nzeogwu, Anuforo,Onwuatuegwu, Emmanuel Efeajuna, Humphrey Chukwuma, Don Okafor from one tribe and One ethnic group only is what?


Is it a Fulani coup? Our problem in this country is when the truth is against our interest or affiliations, we always tend to see it as campaign of calumnies against us.

Truth should always be truth, irrespective of whether it favour us or not.
And the plain truth is that what happened that day jan. 15th 1966, was more of an organised Ethnic cleans!ng, a tr!bal war not just a coup.

Because after all this, Umunnakwe Aguyi-Irons! (the head of state then) from same tribe, did nothing in bringing this people to justice.

benuejosh:
That’s why he used the word Mastermind. They were the lead head, the arrow head and organizers

imam07:
U are an idiot. Only one yoruba man was involved

BluntTheApostle:
How come there was not one single Igbo casualty?

BluntTheApostle:
We are talking about prominent people, you are mentioning one colonel who was a mere collateral damage.

BluntTheApostle:
Who gave a fvck about a lt. colonel. No one even cared.


The Prime Minister (a Fulani man) was kidnapped and executed. The president was allowed to safely leave the country.

Premiers of Northern and Western regions were killed. What happened to the Eastern premier?

YeeboMuslim:
See this osu clown revising history .
Azikwe , Okpara , Osadebey and Ironsi ( yeebos ) were supposed to die in the coup but they miraculously escaped
The good news is that your cowardly ancestors more than paid for their stupidity

YeeboMuslim:
The Premier of the mid West ( Osadebey , an IBO ) escpaed too.
The highest ranked Yoruba and Northern military officers were killed too ( Ademulegun and Maimalari )but the highest ranked Ibo officer escaped too.

Ibo sense

YeeboMuslim:
Osu , Ademoyega wasnt killed in the coup.
It was Ademulegun and his pregnant wife that your cowardly ancestors murdered in the middle of the night .
It's funny a poorly lettered upper Iweka headbridge lout is telling someone to read

Awada kerikeri.

BluntTheApostle:
Don't mind them.

Azikwe (the president) escaped death too.


Not one prominent Igbo man was killed.

Penguin2:
Oh, really?

Now why is Gideon Okar’s coup not Tiv coup?

Why is Buhari coup not Fulani coup?

Why is Babaginda coup not Hausa coup?

Why is Nzeogwu’s coup the only one with that ethnic tag?

Believeintruth:
Oga after Ironsi. The next high rank was a brigadier then after that a Colonel. Arthur Unegbe was a high ranking army officer at that time. In the 60s Lt Cols were battalion commanders and 2ICs of divisions

gidgiddy:
They rule, they dont rule, everyone suffers equally

Believeintruth:
There was an Igbo casualty it has always been avoided to mention. Ifeajuna shot and killed the Quartermaster of the Nigerian army Col Arthur Unegbe

Believeintruth:
Oga stop shifting goal posts a senior Igbo officer was killed and that was a casualty whether you want to discount it or not doesn't change the fact that the coup was never an Igbo coup, because if you do it that way. Then Muritala's coup was a Fulani coup, Dimka's coup was a middle belt coup. Buhari and IBB subsequent coups were Fulani and Gideon Orkar's coup was Tiv coup.

Believeintruth:
Dude you are shifting goal posts first you said no high ranking Igbo was killed now the facts was brought to you, and you are using semantics.

membranus:
But your kinsman, Aguiyi, the big lord of the land then, protected his 7 tribesmen, the coupists, from facing the wrath of the law in Igbo solidarity.

Therefore the rest of the Igbos are by tribal association culpable of the same crime, because they did not wholly condemn this murderous act of these tribal coupists. The same way the whole Germans are counted culpable for Hitler's heinous crime, even though he is an Austrian, and that not all Germans supported him.

shortIGBOman:
Emeka, IGBO can never rule this our beautiful Country.

Quote me anywhere.

rajiedreez:
Would you rather then call it Biafra coup.

BluntTheApostle:
In a coup spearheaded by an Igbo man, the Prime Minister (a Northerner) was killed, but the President (an Igbo man) escapes death.


The premiers of Northern and Western regions are murdered, but by some stroke of luck, the premier of Eastern Nigeria escapes.


Ademulegun (a Yoruba man) is killed, but JTU Aguiyi Ironsi (an Igbo man), the most senior officer of the NA is spared, and rewarded with Head of State.


Haba, even if the coup plotters had no tribal intentions, you can't blame people for thinking that they had.


The Muritala coup was a reprisal coup targeted at Igbos.


Dimka's coup did not have any close resemblance to Nzeogwu's coup because it didn't seem to target tribes.


Buhari's coup did not target any specific tribe. In fact, it toppled a fellow Fulani man.


IBB's coup too did not target any tribe or spared any tribe.

TheGoodJoe:
It is,

Nzeogwu's coup.

Dimka's coup.

Babangida's coup,

Buhari's coup.

Leave innocent people out of it.

Stop tribalism and hatred against innocent people. People have been killed enough.

Finito.

Parizz:
can i finger your pussy?

BluntTheApostle:
Nothing you say will make anyone believe that it was not an Igbo coup.


The signs are too overwhelming.

TheGoodJoe:
So those few officers represent millions of innocent people's decision?

It does not make any sense. Leave innocent people out of the crime of few. There are criminals in your village. That does not make you a criminal or make their actions yours.

Finito.

BluntTheApostle:
It does make sense, because it led to a reprisal attack, especially owing to how Ironsi handled the matter, and eventually a civil war which further divided us along ethnic lines.


I am sure if the January 1966 coup had seemed targeted at Igbos, you people will be crying louder than the Northerners, and busy shouting genocide or massacre.
