Even before meeting the Igbos, before almagamation, you were bowing to the Fulanis. Ilorin comes to mind

Pakute:
That's why I laughed at some people's gullibility, especially those from other ethnicities who are stupidly pleading for ibo Presidency. Look the carnage these guys committed with guns in their hands, imagine how emboldened and deadlier they would be if you foolishly hand them power through constitutional means. The beastly DNA is inherent.

the coup did not fail..

the coup plotters only allowed a senior igbo military officer called ironsi take over..

and ironsi could have released Awolowo in the 6 months he ruled for if the lie that Awolowo was the reason for the coup was true.. because i:gbos have herd mentality just like the obi:dient movement that made them focus on 1 goal.

the goal of the coup was to stop igbos from losing federal jobs the british gave them.

Nzeougwu marked the worst record of back stabbing in the history of Nigeria.

Nzeougwu was raised and made a Northerner by Sardauna because Nzeougwu's father was a gardener in Sardauna's house so he knew everyone in Sardauna's house and used come and grow freely.

Sardauna was the one that gave Nzeougwu the name Kaduna so as to make him a full Northerner and thereafter put him in the army using a northern slot.

DMerciful:
If the North and West hated what Nzeogwu did, why was he given a national burial despite fighting on the side of Biafra?

Ure just an incosequential dot in a circle, boy

How I wish I was born during that time.....I will kill any Okoro without thinking twice..... including children and wives.

I remember what one of my uncle told me , who was a friend of black scorpion......he said , he regretted not killing Igbo children and women , during the civil war.
I asked him why ......he said , oka bi omo , o bi Oro, ologbo bi omo , o bo ole, .....

gidgiddy:
Is it only him that fought for Nigeria? He was is even removed from the war because he was a failure
No I expect Nigeria to be honouring a murderous coup plotter and military dictator by putting him on its N20 note because he is a Northerner

DMerciful:
You see the killings in the North from 2009 till date, over 60k killed? Its retribution for 1966 pogroms

kettykin:
If their intentions was not to free Awolowo from the gulag and make him prime minister then why did they leave alive since every other political leader was killed.

gidgiddy:
Oh I see, Murtala Mohammed was honoured for killing over 300 people in his own coup by putting him on the N20 note, naming your busiest Airport after? Then you should have no problem with Nzeogwu. If Nzeogwu had been a Northerner, he might have been on the N10 note today

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.

Nanalucky:
Was the story teller there when all this write up happened...how old was he....? Or he was told one sided story........we keep talking about we must come together as one to build a better country...like this?. With all this hate.... what course the coup....?. ...I am not saying I supported what happened....but in my government text book,I was told and read that the leaders were living big....someone had his clothes carried by a little boy..... where ever he was going to...... others were eating the national cake alone... corruption was in government..........the hen that laid the golden egg was given a pinch......why did Issac boro foght his 12 days fight?.... No body answered that.... what he fought for is still playing out till today...... what course the war is still playing out today...till we kill sentiments frm us...we can't get it right

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?.

zero8zero:
You this boy, you're just yapping rubbish to justify the satanic act of your kinsmen. To you, a six year old is a dummy who can't recollect what happened under his nose?. How old were you when you started school?
Also, was Awolowo in charge when the coup happened?.study your history, ignorance is not bliss, boy.

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

zero8zero:
Your usual line of domination, when did SS tell you they're one with you?. After telling you so many times that they're not the same with igbos, better respect yourself.

2elliot:
Not even the Fulanis could have tried that nonsense by exterminating other leaders just so they can dominate the others. But you think the Igbos will do that, and expect the whole world to watch them do that and fo scot-free.

2elliot:
You were already killing one another during the wild wild west, so what's your point?
If that coup had succeeded and Awolowo brought to power, things would have been different today and not all these accusations.

gidgiddy:
January 15th, the only coup children of hate remember, out of many that occured in Nigeria, so they can call it 'Igbo coup'

But once you suggest that Igbo should be allowed to go their way as Biafra, they will be ready to fight civil war

Umuinyioku:
You must be really a kid to controvert me.

If you know my background, you can't yarn this. I have grasp of what happened and can tell it over and over again.

FFk was telling stories derived from his kinsmen in a skewed manner. The coup had all the trappings of pan Nigerian outlook but couched in a despicable manner by forces loyal to northern aristocratic hew.

The coup of 1966 was justified,but the execution could be faulty. Maybe, because of age of the dramatis personae. They couldn't comprehend the cataclysmic effect of such loyalty to Nigerian state.

Salute to the putschists. They remain our heroes!!!

2elliot:
Some of you just amuse me. As an adult that you are, you believe that the Igbos will carry out such actions to subjugate the entire country when they did not have the military might or the population to sustain that level of domination. For how long did they expect to dominate at a time when all Africans were fighting colonial domination. Not even the Fulanis some of you dread could have done that.

zero8zero:
Because he was sober & came back home, same as Ojukwu

Umuinyioku:
Abeggi, go sit down.

Don't you know Igbo and Niger Delta share common heritage?
