The revolutionary coup was planned and prosecuted to eliminate political vermins responsible for dashing the hope of many Nigerians after independence. Lots of Nigerians couldn't understand why the Sarduana and Akintola were hellbent on setting the country on fire the same way Buhari and Tinubu are desperate to burn down Nigeria! Simple! It was not a coup contracted to "kill ibibio leaders and leave Anang leaders" as you would wishfully like to think. It was a REVOLUTION against the neocolonial proxies masquerading as Nigerian patriots within the political scene then. If most of the corrupt victims come from your neighborhood, take a second look at your culture!

It was not Nnamdi Azikiwe that started "Operation Wetie" in the Western region, a wayward Akintola did! Neither was it Michael Okpara or Dr Akanu Ibiam that went behind with the British to give Europeans more employment opportunities in Northern Nigeria than to fellow Nigerians, irrespective of the qualifications, the Sarduana did so! The northernization of the Nigerian Army which triggered Nzeogwu is the sole reason why you have been ruled by the likes of Abacha, Buhari and Babangida! It wasn't the easterners that tried to northernize the Army! Sarduana, Balewa and Ribadu did.

So whenever your tribal guts pushes you to complain about the so called "killings of the leaders of other ethnic groups", do remember that one miserable Obafemi Awolowo was tucked away in a dingy Calabar prison by the same Sarduana/Akintola/balewa combo. He was there on the night of the January 15 coup! If the elimination of the leaders of other ethnic groups was the primary motive behind the coup, the coupist who easily took control of the East, would have gone there to slaughter him! Why didn't the do that?

Nonsense and rubbish

So Buhari led a coup in 1983. He toppled a democratic government yet we voted him as president 2 times.
Rightly so, one is blaming the Fulani for this. Stop the Igbo hate.

Ignorance lol. Buhari didn't even participate in the coup. Igbo hate ke. Is Nigeria no more a zoo. By the time Peter Obi come last for next election una go start to dey shout up and down.

How many common men die of hunger due to Buhari's gov each day. Still you fail to answer the question, was 1983 coup a Fulani coup?

A fulani led coup truncating the regime of another Fulani

BATified2023:
because till today igbos don’t realize they made a mistake n if given d chance they will repeat it again


Same character u are displaying here when many of u igbos are saying if u have a gun u will kill tinubu n atiku n leave peter obi

I actually asked a question as regards how our leaders have impoverished us

I asked what u will do to the 3 main aspirants if u were given a gun n majority of Igbo known monikers replied they will kill atiku n tinubu n none talked about obi

So it’s obvious u people will still repeat d same mistake if given d chance

I think other major tribes have let go the ills of the 60s except two tribes. Your tribe. Is one of them

So it's a Fulani led coup? And you forget that that regime was voted in by Nigerians from all tribes. Are you saying it's ok to truncate a regime as long as it's principal actor is from your tribe?

Your Buhari was the biggest beneficiary from the proceeds of a crime against the people of Nigeria. You can't be more involved than that.

How many did he provide in his 8 years in Anambra as governor. I can go to Chatham n promise you paradise but your antecedent is what will be use to ascertain you capability. Even Buhari promise more than this so.

We are going to turn around the power sector. Nigeria today generates about 5,000 megawatts for 200 million people and South Africa, the second biggest in terms of economy on the continent, 60 million people, generates over 40,000 megawatts, yet, they have declared an emergency in the power sector.
“If a country with 60 million population generating over 40,000MW is declaring emergency on power, what do you think somebody with 200 million people generating between 5,000MW and 6,000MW will do? I am going to declare war on power and I will solve it. Anybody who stands on the way, so be it.”

Oh sorry, I did not know that our constitution allowed for reprisal coups or revenge coups from our army officers. Clearly, you have a double standard. If you become a hero by attacking and killing innocent your fellow officers who did you no harm because you claim a few people from their tried killed some people from your tribe, how is that not plain murder?

You applaud ethnic cleansing in your army in the name of a reprisal attack.

The people that Murintala murdered never plotted any coup. They were all innocent. Their only crime was being Igbo. You guys celebrate cold-blooded murder Oga I am not the one that plotted the Jan 15 coup. And yes I am concerned about criminals being recognized as heroes. I am against all coups from 1966 to 1983. But unlike you that supports one coup and condemns another, I am neither a hypocrite nor a tribalist.
Finally, here is a list of the January 15 coup plotters

That's my point, all coups are a crime against our country. And all these men from Nzeogwu to Murintala, Buhari, Babangida, are all criminals. But it's a pity we have a criminal on the 20 naira note.
Again the entire Igbo race is not responsible for the cirimes of about half a dozen Igbo men. I don't blame the Fulani for Murintala crimes. I don't blame the Yoruba for Awolowo's treason.

You are a very dishonest oaf.
All the premiers were marked for elimination including Okpara and Osadebey who were Ibos but they miraculously escaped
The soldiers said there was corruption by the ruling government . Interestingly, this same government was formed by the NPC/NCNC , a predominantly Ibo and Hausa/Fulani alliance .

The Ibos enjoyed the spoils of this alliance but when it was time to pay the ultimate price for the so called corruption , only Balewa , Bello and Okotie Eboh deserved to die while Azikwe lived.

Also , the head of the army was Ironsi. The incompetent buffon got to the post by virtue of his tribe and allegiance to the NCNC /NPC padi padi arrangement.
The outgone British commander had recommended another man to lead the army .
The army under him had participated in several suppression of dissenting voices all over the country and he was also marked for elimination.
Interestingly, his 2IC, Ademulegun and his pregnant wife were not so lucky . Maimalari , Pam and Shodeinde too died .

The coup was planned by the NCNC and their Ibo brothers in the army to change the tides of the politics of that time after they were brutally sodomised by the Fulani who were the senior partners of the Ibo/Fulani alliance of the 1st Republic.
Unfortunately, the Ibo supremacists of that time later found out albeit when it was too late that taking power is different from holding on to it

Officialgarri:
Majority of you are just so daft. Anytime the 1965 coup is mentioned especially being undisputedly an Igbo coup , then you begin to counter it with other coups that took place.

Common sense should tell you that the 1965 coup is the first Nigerian coup which makes it a very important one, especially for a Newly birthed nation in which each region is represented by distinct leaders . Akintola, Bello and Azikiwe.


Secondly, a tribe of Azikiwe(Igbo) killed most important representatives of Yorubas and hausas i.e Akintola and Bello respectively , but then you keep comparing such an important coup with some Orkar or Buhari coup ..

The coup leaders where actually from the Midwest not the Eastern part of Nigeria.To be precise ,delta state and seeing as you idiots like to remind us that Igbo speakers in delta and rivers state aren’t Igbo ,isn’t it a fallacy to now claim the 1966 coup as an igbo coup ?

Kaduna Nzeogwu who lead the coup and killed the saraduna died in the ensuing civil war, Nigerian forces treated his corpse with modesty and the Nigerian state still at war with Biafra forces gave this man a state burial with much fanfare. In fact ,today his grave is still in a military cemetery up north and interestingly,it has never been vandalized - doesn’t that make mockery of your claim the coup was an igbo coup.

The coup of 1966 is only important to keep the Igbo man down to never let this group of people reach heights that there assumed masters seem to never reach -nothing more to it .

muykem:
You guys always smart by half. People aren't against the coup itself but killing the leaders of other ethnic national except that of Igbo in government.

They are illiterates bro

tctrills:

So it's ok to plan a coup ad long as the sitting president is from your tribe?
Yes every coup is different but then if you blame today's Igbos for 1966 coup would you blame the Fulani s for Buhari's coup?

Have you ever heard of the word "logic" before? Your points are bouncing all over the place like a scream in an abandoned cave. Apart from the fact that they were both coups, what you're trying to compare are as different as different can be.

Can't help you in anyway if you feel the1966 coup was anything remotely close to that of 1983. The brain of a 3 year old child should be able to process that without any need for deep thinking.
