Same ungrateful people want to rule Nigeria. It will never happen

Godwin4444:
y are u Igbos like this for crying out loud?

How many times have we laid that lie to rest that they wanted to free awolowo cos of d coup?

The coup was not about awolowo but Igbos greed for power, so if it was about freeing awolowo, y did nnamdi azikwe n ojukwu had issues about d war he embarked on?

Guy it's Igbos greed to have it all that led to d war n not trying to free awolowo

What's d relationship between awolowo n Igbos that Igbos will go out all their way to kill all those people simply because of one Yoruba man?

So u wanted to free awolowo but killed everyone aside from people from your tribe?

Guy u Igbos can't rewrite history

Godwin4444:
which state was awolowo imprisoned?

kettykin:
Awolowo was imprisoned Calabar in the Eastern region. Killing him would have been the easiest assignment for a boy scout. The coupist never had it in mind to kill him

Igbos had it all, so what are you talking about? Whether they formed the alliance with the north or the west, Igbos were well placed and represented in politics and military. So, and with the newly found oil in the eastern region, no other region could have matched them. So, what power do you think they needed? Some of you are just stupid and wicked parroting lies.
That coup happened because of Awolowo and nothing else. And the coup wasn't a secret one. Several military men especially in the south west were informed but most declined to join. There was no Igbo conspiracy involved. The crisis in the South west was a concern to a lot of vibrant people, both civilians and military, at a time youths were very vibrant and fighting colonialism and corruption in the African continent. It is not like now that 50yrs old men are stupid and cowardly and do not have any revolutionary ideas.
If you want to understand history, you must study and put yourself in the era of those who participated in that history. Don't use you 2025 logic. You won't get it.

Nnamdi azikwe was miraculously on a long vacation. Premier of eastern region was not killed. Senate president orizu was not killed. Make i no just talk

Okpollo:
Are you not the one that inherited over 60 year old tears from your father on how igbos killed your future and your past ? You should be ashamed of your self for having power and still crying about death of your useless grand fathers. If we get another chance you see that death you want , yoy see death and fear will grip you. Who want a worthless vulture like you alive around them? So we dont want you to be around or share same space with you as we are your fear but you think you can drink your poison and live? Lol such unfortunate sets of fools

NoIgboSoundTueh:
January 15, 2025, marks 59 years since Igbos, driven by greed, carried out a coup, murdering leaders from other ethnic groups while sparing their own. This act, forever created a stigma of distrust for which they continue to forever pay the price.

2elliot:
That coup was not a secret coup. Several military guys from the south west were informed but they declined to join. The crisis in the western regions, and another in the north, necessitated the coup. The likes of FFK's father were corruption personified and was remotely involved in the crisis. And besides, the muteeners' were sympathetic to Awolowo's plight. The coup was carried out to take those men out. It had nothing to do with all politicians or leaders at the time. Try to understand the history based on the context. Nnamdi Azikiwe or any other Igbo leader was not remotely involved in the political crisis of the western regions at the time.

They are swearing with their lives that no nyanmiri will ever get to that post

Go n read about ffk n Reno tweets

NSK4U:
Can't you say something about what yorubas are saying instead of northerners? Can't you think of freedom from enslavement mind to the northerners even after taking Illorin from you? Why tell about what the northerners think when you should say what you think yourself, are you their mouthpiece?

kettykin:
A fascinating story, but let’s dig deeper. What truly triggered this coup? Wasn’t its original intention to free Awolowo from prison and install him as prime minister? If so, why has history been distorted to present only one side of the story?

As usual, the one sides story seeks but to scapegoat the igbos. No one talks about another group of igbos led by Aguiyi Ironsi and Odumegwu Ojukwu that stepped in to restore government.

FFK is a Blantant Liar. He didnt say what his father and the nonesense Akintola did to Awolowo and the entire Western Region. One of the major reason why the coup took place.

The failed coup was plannend and executed by three majors

Kaduna Nzegwu
Adewale Ademoyaga
Emmauel Ifejuana.

And they brought in others to see to the success of the coup

The Entire Western Region was in turmoil. In connivance with the North, This nonesense FFK's Father who he was deputy to Akintola rigged the 1965 election with impunity and people were killed here and there. Awolowo was locked up on trumped up charges of treason by the North and Akintola and Remi Kayode. Men who were desperate for nothing but power at the expense of the people they claimed they were serving.

Akintola's Aides at a Time even told him to resign but in Akintola's word "It is only death that van take the position away from him" And so it happened

FFK who was trying to claim his father isnt a coward.

When the Soldiers got to Agodi Ibadan and called him out telling him he was under arrest, Dude threw his hands in the air and begging the soldiers not to kill him. They were even surprised and asking themselves if this was truly the Fani Power. Got to Akintola's house where he shot back at the soldiers and they killed him when he ran out of ammo.

All the People that were killed were those who resisted arrest. Remi wasnt killed because he didnt resist arrest.

By the time they got to Lagos around 7AM with Remi,The coup had already failed and Ironsi boys had them all rounded up and Remi Kayode released.

Whenever I see FFK ranting,I remember his father. He is nothing but a coward like his father..

PressMyButton:
The President has reintroduced history in schools and made it compulsory, so shall we talk history?.
The irony is that those people who struck FIRST without any provocation are the ones crying to be the victims today. According to FFK, let's forget the past, let's move on and forgive but then again, have the perpetrators ever sought for forgiveness?.
Okay, let's move on, but are the perpetrators till date not persistent with same agenda of occupation of all minorities of SS and their lands without respect for their respective identity, drawing them into a map and calling all of them Biafrans as against their wish, should we move on?
Okay, let's move on but have they moved on from the election loss?, till today, they wish the country burn except their own is in power. They can't move on but FFK is asking those whose leaders, families, fathers, mothers, grandparents, great grandparents, families were murdered in cold blood should forget the past when the closure they are seeking for has not been granted them. FFK is lucky, his family was spared, he could have been different if his father was equally murdered before his very own eyes as a little boy. FFK has changed with age, we know what he could have said 5, 10 years ago.
The perpetrators are still holding firm to the 1966 agenda of domination, so, how do we move on?.
