Tenkobos:
There was Obasanjo, Yaradua, Jonathan, Buhari, and now Tinubu.

None of them is Igbo so even if they kill the few that benefited under Jonathan, by the time you kill those under Obasanjo, Yaradua, Buhari, and now Tinubu, it will start looking like another Igbo coup because majority will Southwest and North.

Then why was mimilari and other Yoruba officers killed were they also part of balewa govt.

Was zik not the president of Nigeria then.

Zik cousin ifeajuna told him to escape before the coup.

None of the ibos civilian who were part of balewa govt were killed and u re saying it not ibo coup and ethnic cleansing.

Tenkobos:
Army wants to unseat the president


And they start by killing governors 😂 😂


Wise man don drop quote.

Just get someone more sensible among you to explain things to you.

He is correct and you are wrong! The "Let" has already nullified the singular subject, singular verb normalcy. Even in simple things, you still do not plan to learn. You will grow old and have kids one day, and at that point you would understand that humanity comes first before tribe. Be claiming woke even in disgrace.

No doubt.

The first, second and third citizen in Nigeria are not Igbo. If you take the top three in the army, police, etc. Majority will still be North and Southwest.


That's my point.

That's my point.

Your point is a dull one if you actually have a good motives from the on set.

If you want the army to take over cos the politicians are corrupt then everyone of them including the one region shouldn't be spared even if they are last on the list.

"Let the truth be told. The People involved in that so called 1966 “Igbo coup” were:

1. Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu (Midwest Region Igbo)

2. Major Adewale Ademoyega (Western Region – Yoruba), author of “Why we struck”

3. Capt. G. Adeleke (Western Region – Yoruba).

4. Maj. Ifeajuna (Midwestern Region – Igbo).

5. Lt. Fola Oyewole (Western Region – Yoruba), author of “The reluctant rebel”.

6. *Lt. Robert (Bob) Egbiko* (Midwestern Region – Ishan).

7. Lt. Tijani Katsina (Northern Region – Hausa/Fulani).

8. Lt. O. Olafemiyan (Western Region – Yoruba).

9. Capt. Gibson Jalo (Northern Region – Bachama).

10. Capt. Swanton (Northern Region – Middle Belt).

11. Lt. Hope Harris Eghagha (Midwest – Urhobo).

12. Lt. Dag Warribor (Midwest – Ijaw)

13. 2nd Lt. Saleh Dambo (Northern Nigeria -Hausa)

14. 2nd Lt. John Atom Kpera (Northern Nigeria-Tiv).

The reason for calling the 1966 Coup an Igbo exercise is because the government of Nigeria has refused teaching Nigerian History in our schools. And core North has been busy misinforming Nigerians that the 1966 coup was an Igbo coup.

Yoruba – Igbo fact sheet.

This article has no tribal sentiments. Please add your own facts if you have any. History will always tell us what happened.

1. Azikiwe defeated Awolowo to become the first Nigerian Premier of Western Nigeria (present Southwest plus Edo and Delta States). Awolowo instead of forming Opposition, rather formed Egbe Omo Yoruba and used it to intimidate Yorubas that won election on NCNC platform to cross carpet and join him against Azikiwe. This was the first parliamentary coup in Nigeria.

2. Awolowo from then on, started indoctrination of Yorubas against the “threat of Igbo domination”. That is how the incurable seed of fear of Igbos was sown in the psychic of Yorubas which Yorubas later sold to other groups through Yoruba control of the media for decades.

3. Alhaji Tafawa Balewa , Nigeria ‘s first Prime minister could not tolerate Awolowo’s treacherous and inordinate ambition of acquiring political power by all means and at any cost. So, he threw Awolowo into prison for treason.

4. Samuel Ladoke Akintola who replaced Awolowo as Premier of Western Nigeria tried to destroy Awolowo’s political grip on Yorubaland by forming a party to takeover Western Nigeria in alliance with the Hausa-Fulani oligarch who Awolowo despised as a backward race. Consequently, Yorubaland went ablaze in revolt against Akintola’s plot. Law and order completely broke down in Western Nigeria. Wole Soyinka wore a mask and forced announcers at Western Nigeria Broadcasting Corporation to declare that Akintola’s government was a fraud.

5. Yet, Tafawa Balewa refused to declare state of emergency in Western Nigeria in order to keep Akintola as a proxy for Hausa-Fulani interest. This was the MAIN reason Yoruba graduates in the Army were the brains behind the coup led by Chukwuma Nzeogwu who happened to be Igbo.

6. As Wole Soyinka and even Obasanjo acknowledged, Nzeogwu ‘s coup was widely accepted by a vast majority of Nigerians across regional, religious and ethnic divides. But the dissatisfied Hausa-Fulani oligarchy who had majority in Nigerian Army infantry used their puppets, Yakubu Gowon, Theophilus Danjuma and co to overthrow General Ironsi.

7. In order to win support of Yorubas, Gowon released Awolowo from prison. The Hausa-Fulani knew Awolowo’s fear of Igbo as the only group that stood against his ambition to power. Gowon therefore quickly made a deal with Awolowo which in effect was that power would rotate between the North and the West (Hausa-Fulani and Yoruba) in post war Nigeria if Awolowo convinced Yorubas to join the North in fighting Igbos.

8. The Nigerian Army was consequently split into two divisions: the northern sector division commanded by Hausa-Fulani and the southern sector division, commanded by Yorubas.

9. Lagos, a city built largely by Igbos and were Igbos invested heavily, was also ceded to Yorubas as a State even when there was no Abuja at the time (1967).

10. Awolowo was made Vice Chairman of Federal Executive Council and Finance Minister. All federal government owned banks in Nigeria at the time which included the Central Bank and First Bank, were under Awolowo and Yoruba management. It was a deal Awolowo could not resist. The man was an unscrupulous Machivellian anyway.

11. The Igbos were eventually defeated and Yorubas became champions of nationalism.

12. Awolowo tried to make sure no Igbo man or woman would ever be more than financial destitute let alone have the financial resources to rival a Yoruba

13. To achieve his objective of permanent Yoruba supremacy, Awolowo insisted that every bank account owned by an Igbo, regardless of how much was in it before the declaration of Biafra, would only be replaced with twenty pounds! He instructed Yoruba Permanent Secretaries who took over the Federal Civil service when Igbos left, to make sure that Igbo senior civil servants were not reinstated but to rather retire those who could not be dismissed as rebels. The same policy obtained in the Armed Forces of Nigeria and Police .

14. The Igbo were not only made pariahs but also financial destitutes.

15. Every house and industry in Igbo city was destroyed by war. Schools were closed for 3 years and many were razed to the ground.

16. Awolowo masterminded the indiginization policy by which Yorubas bought over all companies in Nigeria using money readily made available to them by the banks under their control. The Igbos were excluded.

17. They rejoiced and relaxed and complaisantly asked: “How could Igbos ever rear their ugly heads up again”? Sure, if that had happened to Yorubas or any other ethnic group, that would be their end. But as Awolowo rightly feared, we happen to be Ndi Igbo.

18. The shooting war ended 45 years ago and we are still here. We have survived all policy shenanigans contrapted by treacherous Yoruba masterminds and executed by their Hausa-Fulani allies.

19. In frustration, they have realized that we are who we are. Imagine their frustration! Never mind all Yoruba masterminded psychological attacks on Igbos disparaging us in any way they can.

20. Yes, Federal government policy has made them the tycoons of oil and gas, telecommunications, insurance and manufacturing. Oh, their Hausa-Fulani cum military allies gave Nigeria to Obasanjo for 8 years in keeping faith with their alliance.

21. Bola Tinubu is struggling for Awolowo mantle by forming an alliance of etho- religious jingoistic to ensure power keeps rotating between Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani. Where is the position of the Igbo and other tribes in Nigeria.

THAT IS WHY IGBOS WHO EXPERIENCE ALL THE ABOVE INJUSTICES THINK THAT BIAFRA IS THE ULTIMATE ANSWER.

HOWEVER, MY TAKE IS THAT THIS SHOULD MAKE OUR IGBO LEADERS FOCUSED, AND FIGHT FOR THE COMMON GOOD OF THEIR KINSMEN, NOT ONLY FOR THEIR OWN POCKETS.

- Dozie Kaidi Obiaku

Bobodee09:
Counter what he said that lead to War or STFU.

Always the victim in every situation.

The only tribe that declare a war, fought it and lost but still expect pity by playing victim card.

What led to the war was not the nzeogwu coup cause northerners had their revenge in the counter coup when they assassinated ironsi and thousands of igbo military soldiers plus hundreds of thousands of igbo civilians all over Nigeria, the north were satisfied with their revenge and they were ready to break away from the country and form their own separate country like they always wanted, that was why Gowon went to Aburi and agreed to every single demand ojukwu and the eastern delegate demanded of him in Ghana, upon his return to Lagos Gowon was preparing to give the final speech of the northern region breaking away from Nigeria when he was stopped by the British foreign ambassadors not to do that, they asked Gowon to hold a meeting with the northerners once more and explain to them that one Nigeria will benefit them more than everyone cause they have the population plus they will lose out on the huge oil deposit in the eastern region if they pullout of the union, Gowon spoke with the north and they agreed, in order to take control of the oil in eastern region, awolowo plus the foreign ambassadors advised Gowon to divide the eastern region into smaller regions and cave out igbo from the oil territories, that's exactly what Gowon did and ojukwu declared biafran independence , and Gowon brought war to biafra, so Gowon and awolowo started the war not igbos

u Igbos attempt to change history is too late

gidgiddy:
Lol

Almost ever country in Africa has had military coup and military rule, some still have it today. But none of them fought civil because of it. The January 15 coup was not why Nigeria fought civil war

Did Gowon do anything that needs forgiveness? Let's see

1. He went back on an agreement he signed in Ghana, and this directly led to war

2. He abolished the 4 Region's Nigeria had and created 12 states, with Decree 14

3. He took away the most important ingredient of true federalism, he abolished resource control with Decree 15

4. His tenure was a period that Nigeria had its largest oil boom era, but his administration was very corrupt, financially reckless, economically bereft, that he achieved nothing in office and squandered an opportunity that will never come again

5. Gowon spent 9 years in office without a single plan to return Nigeria to democracy

What is there to celebrate about Gowon? A military dictator, war monger and terrible administrator

IF OJUKWU WHO BROUGHT WAR TO US AND ABSCONDED COULD BE CELEBRATED, THEN GOWON SHOULD BE ADORED

One hand they praise themselves for being brave soliders fighting Nigeria soliders for months and killing them in mass , in other hand they cry of genocides against them. Confuse tribe.

Gowon was too magnanimous and linient with Ojukwu

Too much!!!

Gowon should have given Ojukwu the exact same treatment Ojukwu himself

gave Col Banjo

Show us where he apologized..all this you people beer parlor lies is very irritating. Biafra soliders/igbo didn't kill anyone during the war....it only Nigeria soliders that killed them. Infact Biafra soliders didn't fire a single shot throughout the war....shior.....

Gowon apologised for the genocides of the civil war especially from the Nigerian state who was the main aggressor. The same evil is still ongoing more than 54 years after the war.

That same Ojukwu risked his life to leave the Eastern Region where he was safe, travel to Ghana where the Government of Ghana could have colluded with Gowon to have him killed, just to sign an agreement with Gowon, an agreement meant to prevent war

Guess who broke the agreement?

Absolutely right. The igbos are just crying been victim where as they should have apologized to the rest Nigeria and move on. They keep telling lies. I have read severally many times about it and Reno is very correct. You planned a coup and none of the allies from Easter region who were friends,political and military with northern, westerners and Midwest were killed. Aguyi Ironsi a easterners became the beneficiary. Make Una just they play. If you people don't desist from the victim mentality syndrome then presidency will be far to obtain.

IIGB0S will never be president

First correction Benin was not part of eastern region but Midwest region

And yes in may 26th 1967 ojukwu had an emergency meeting with his special advisory committee of chiefs and elders in Enugu, on may 27th the consultative assembly mandated ojukwu to declare biafra , the assembly was not only made of igbos the minorities were there too, some of the most distinguished persons in that meeting were the likes of,
Nnamdi Azikiwe
Michael okpara
Francis ibiam
Dr Alvan ikoku
Mr N.U Akpan
Mr Joseph Echeruo
Mr Ekukinam bassey
Mr Jerome udoji
Chief margaret Ekpo
Etc


And why will igbos turn around to kill their fellow biafrans when they were even suffering from shortage of arms to fight the federal troops?

gidgiddy:
Read my no 1 again and learn how Gowon went back on an agreement he signed in Ghana, an agreement that was meant to keep Nigeria one, and prevent war

So have you said yourself why Gowon went back on the agreement. Please if you don't know the answer kindly go and find out.
