How you guys stuck to the lie that the first coup in Nigeria was an 'Igbo coup' still baffles me. So you mean there were no soldiers from other tribes that took part in the coup?
Go back to your history teacher.


They were under Igbo commanders. Igbo officers led the coup, and decided who would be assassinated. No Igbo leaders were touched. Just northerners and SW.

Conscience. There's nobody who would know as much as he knew about the coup without having a hand in it , if only to run errands. He knew , and was close to all the actors. And all of them freely discussed with him ,and they all freely discussed the matter in his presence.

All this long write up just to narrate how igbo was rejected for a sensitive position? They are not that important. Tell them straight to their face. They started the war and we finished it. If not because of us (northerners) nyamuris will enslaved south-south, and advanced to south west. But we intervened and crushed them. That's why we are their number one enemy lol
During my nysc in akwai ibom. The LI tried to appoint me as his CLO but the nyamuris gang up against me because I'm a northerner. Lol I just laughed and say,.. "calm down it's just nysc, we will rule you forever in a real world"

Interesting, as a lover of Nigerian history. It's good hearing the stories from participants first hand. Although Nigeria gave them everything, they decided to leave a disastrous legacy of greed and corruption.

As ibos take see everybody for north as hausa/fulani, na like dat northerners take see everybody for east. But Gowon do am well as he take create SS states commot body from SE region, na why SS people dey enjoy Nigeria today, otherwise their gum body with SE for dey make them suffer. Today now, everybody for naija sabi differentiate SS people from SE. Gowon do well. But una remember that Gowon been dey collect toto from one ibo woman like dat who come later born pikin for am, so na that soft spot Gowon had for ibos as per in-law, however, Murtala's anger was quite reasonable because at the time the two iconic northern leaders in Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa were killed by ibo coupists, both SS and SE were all under the same eastern region dominated by ibos. Northerners would not have tolerated Gowon appointing anyone from the region at the time.

With the kind of hatred we have amongst ourselves in this country..... I'm not surprised that even togo is better than Nigeria!!!!

I think it's time for all of us to come together in a round and decide whether to continue or break up if at all we all want progress🙄

A husband that purposely maltreats his wife will never make happy children⚠️

We need to have all these history abolished and referendum must take if we want any progress in Nigeria, what has happened has happened and we NEED to move on!!!

If this is not done, our children will still grow up hating one another while the rich keeps milking the country💔💔

Until Igbos send a HIGH LEVEL TRADITIONAL DELEGATION comprising their most powerful traditional elders and priests on an APOLOGY MISSION to those regions whose leaders they killed in that FIRST COUP OF 1966… As in GO THERE to meet their counterparts in those regions, with SACRED WINE, SACRIFICIAL COCKRELS, AND A VIRGIN OR TWO, TO CLEANSE THOSE LANDS OF THE EVIL COMMITTED BY THEIR KINSMEN in that coup, you can forget about Igbos gaining power in this country.

There's a reason why the first ever president of Nigeria was an Igbo man; Igbos are nation builders. They keep hating while the Igbos keeps progressing despite the gang up against them.

Even in this bulablu's current shameful run as a president, we know the region who are feeling the heat the most.

Na them full social media dey beg for food everyday.


Your mouths are also flapping loosely. Nnamdi Azikiwe IS NOT an Igboman , he's an Ijaw . Only is mother is Igbo. The same reason why he didn't support the Biafran cause, but ran away to London for the entire duration of the war. But in your usual state of rejection, irrelevance and dejection the Iboman will always jump at all futilities and vanities to project his valuelessness and battered image into delusional supremacy.

He did same with GEJ. He and Patience are the people that made GEJ lose the election.

By the way I'm a Kalabari man and I dont subscribe to this approach he keeps pushing out
You are a Kalabari man and you don’t want to know your history? The right history?

If you read the piece, you would see that the said Igbo man for whom a coup was led against Gowon was from Kalabari.

The implication is that these guys know you are, and see you guys as Igbo, but you have been fed rubbish which you have held onto, erroneously, for far too long.

Now you are mad that someone is trying to set the record straight?

Until the fears of the Northerners are allayed , Igbo presidency will be a mirage for years to come in Nigeria.
The unstated assumption in this your comment is that you know Obi won the election but because of the northerners’ fear of an Igbo man in power, Tinubu was rigged in instead.

Yeah, we know, northerners would rather have a dead goat as Nigeria’s president than the most brilliant Igbo man.

Then let them leave! Create a country made up of only the other 5 regions. Simple!

You still yapping about civil war while Nigeria is retrogressing.

Most Nations on earth had their shares of civil wars, and they've all moved on.

Common Rwanda here had it's own dark share with genocide some 30yrs ago or so. They've moved own and bettered their own lot. While slowpokes like you are busy jerking off to civil war that happened some 50 something yrs ago or so.

I guess GEJ becoming president was also an IGBO thing, since he was against rivers man becoming head of NNOC. Such hatred that a rivers man had to be mislabelled an IGBO.

Countries are making exploits, developing new ideas, breaking new frontiers in space exploration.
While yours is to revel in some ethnic primordial sentiments laced with hate and bigotry, shapened by some mishap that took place almost some 6 decades ago. And you are proud typing such rubbish here.
