Add the the fact that Ojukwu was never part of the coup and he was not even in the best terms with the leader of the coup, KADUNA Nzeogwu.

If u think it was an igbo coup you're sick in the head

Obviously, the southwest can never get enough of milking the January 15th coup tities.
All these subliminal igbo hate just to maintain an evil grip on power..

cybersoldiers:
You Yorubas are grossly iredeemably bad and sadists. You have penchant for lies, dividing people, causing division amongst people of Nigeria. Everywhere you people are you destroy so you can steal

You guys are number one in head hunting and skull mining technology in the world.

Una no get shame at all.

mu2sa2:
Mr man, why should anybody go about killing innocent people. A murderer is a murderer irrespective of his/her ethnic origin. No-one should justify the cold-blooded murder of such quintessential gentlemen as Sir Tafawa Balewa, a God-fearing individual, whether by igbo officers or in alliance with non- igbo equally satanic individuals. Those evil killers should be hell now while Sir Tafawa Balewa and others rest peacefully as God pleases.

The coup was not carried out by only Igbos. There was Yoruba, Middlebelt, and today Niger Delta soldiers among the coupists but you unscrupulous elements always make it look like it was just done by only Igbos soldiers.


You guys also intentionally ignore to tell the world why Michael Opkara the Eastern Premier at Enugu at that time was spared; Archbishop of Canterbury visited him that day and the coupists didn't want to attract British wrath, so they spared him.


Nnamdi Azikiwe the President was marked for killing but unfortunately as it was, his cousin, Ifeajuna who happened to be among the coup leaders leaked the coup information to him and Zik sneaked out to the Carribeans on health vacation grounds.


You guys also forgot to tell the world that Akintola was told about the coup weeks before and he communicated to Sir Ahmadu Bello his best friend whom he aligned with to persecute Obafemi Awolowo which was the main thing that even angered the young soldiers to carry out a coup to stop the political turmoil in Western Nigeria today Yoruba region between Awolowo and Akintola in which they unjustly jailed Awolowo that angered most of the young soldiers that carried out the coup.



Go and read "Why we struck" by a gallant Yoruba soldier that was part of the coup planners and leader.


When Akintola learnt about the coup, he said went and purchased a pistol swearing to kill anybody that near his residence thinking it was a child's play while Ahmadu Bello laughed it off believing his juju would save him.


Tafawa Belewa was not marked for killing because the young soldiers liked him, they only believed that Ahmadu Bello and Akintola were misleading Belewa but when the coupists discovered that the coup was already failing in parts of Nigeria like Enugu, etc, they angrily shot Belewa, a very huge mistake they made cos Belewa was a nice man




The coup was a military affair but they made sure it was turned to an Igbo people affair even when civilian Igbos were never carried along nor consulted.



And why will Igbos who controlled most sectors of Nigeria carry a coup; Igbo man was the President though with less power which he did willingly by allowing Belewa to become Prime Minister after winning the election while he became President which has more foreign influence while PM ran the day to day activities of the nation, Igbo man was the Senate President (Nwafor Orizu), Igbo man was the Chief of Army Staff (Gen. Aguiyi Ironsi), a man loyal to the Igbos, who also came from Eastern Nigeria then was the IG of Police, Igbo man was the documented richest man in Nigeria then (Sir Louis Ojukwu, Ojukwu's father).


Igbos dominated even Northern civil service because they were the most learned and qualified then which made Bello to issue a statement that they will stop hiring Igbos and start hiring foreigners if they can't find Northerners to fill the position, and also made Awolowo to start free education in Western Nigeria to enable them catch up with Igbos occupying virtually all positions including in Western Nigeria.



So there was no need for Igbos to carry out coup, the coup was entirely carried out by young, naive soldiers of which majority were Igbos from today Southeast and South South/Niger Delta in their foolish effort to rescue Nigeria from the hands of corrupt Nigerian politicians the British people handed power to.



But due to the already brewing envy against Igbos for cheerleading in most sectors in Nigeria then by the Hausa-Fulanis and Yorubas, the coup was conveniently tagged an Igbo coup just as Yorubas conveniently tagged Peter Obi an Igbo Presidential candidate despite Obi winning massively outside Igbo states including in Lagos, Middlebelt, Northeast and Abuja.


Una go tire sha.



We will keep exposing you guy's lies and hatred for Igbos, all thanks to social media and Internet, so gone are the days of spreading dangerous propaganda against Igbos using Lagos-Ibadan expressway brown envelope newspapers

bentenny:
Amazing that some controversial elements are now speaking on a specific coup in 1966.
Surprisingly this same coup in 1966 wasn't discussed or talked about during OBJ regime or that of Yaradua or GEJ or even Buhari's 8 year tenure but how come it's now gaining momentum before and after the 2023 election!

Instead of discussing fundamental structures like state policing that will reduce insecurity in affected states or advocating for resource control so that states can generate wealth in their domain or other innovative programmes that will provide equitable prosperity for everyone,some paid propaganda machineries like Omokiri,then FFK and now mentally deranged kemi Olunloyo have now been setup to release distorted history about 1966!

My question is how does this help Nigeria to reduce insecurity,provide affordable transportation,improve on the accessibility and affordability of staple food and achieve 247 power supply in Nigeria?

fuke:
Your Ironsi layed the foundation for failure
by abolishing regional government.

In 1959, we already had Liberty stadium, television station,
cocoa house, etc

The high commission used as an embassy in London was
acquired by Awolowo be4 the FGN took it over.

Ironsi and Nwabueze set the west back.

I know Aunty Kemi has kolo mental. But I didnt know her kolo mentality has gone worst to the extent of throwing out blantant lies.

How was her father able to go give Akintola a Letter in the middle of the Night when the soldiers came? The soldiers came 2AM and not morning. By Morning Akintola was already Dead and Nwobosi had driven to Lagos with Remi Kayode,but by then the coup had already failed and Ironsi's boys had them arrested.

Lagos was their rendevous point and the very place fellow coup plotter Adewale Ademoyaga should annouce the actual takeover of the entire country if Ironisi hadnt missed them by the whizkers. Because Ironsi was among the people penciled down for arrest.

2. Akintola never lived at the Government House,at Agodi. He lived at Iyanganku. In a House abadoned by the British when they left. The House was later turned to the former court of Appeal at Iyanganku before being moved to Ring Road,Ibadan

So Aunty Kemi now wants to add lies to her kolomentality is very wrong.

Yes we Igbos did condemned the coup and even wished Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe was killed to assuage the North but unfortunately that did not happen.


Also Northerners carried out bigger revenge through the counter coup which was justified cos it was a military affair and they ought to have stopped their military coup madness there but they continued and started to massacre Igbos in that heartwrenching 1966 Northern pogrom in which Igbo civilians living in the North were being massacred in cold blood in all parts of Northern Nigeria and were even spearheaded by Middlebelt people today.


The pogrom was the imminent cause of the civil war. If the Northern military guys had stopped at the counter coup which removed Aguiyi Ironsi and death of hundreds of Igbo soldiers in just two nights, there wouldn't have been civil war. So Igbos paid more than enough price but still they must be blamed for what ordinary Igbos had no hand in but even after those first coup and the counter coup, Nigeria still witnessed several coups spearheaded by Hausa-Fulanis and Middlebelt guys but Nigerians never for once blamed Hausa-Fulanis and started mass killing of Hausa-Fulanis because their soldiers carried out a coup.



Northerners and Yorubas never rose up against Middlebelt civilians to massacre them because Dimka carried out a coup that killed Muritala Mohammed and neither did they do same when Major Gideon Okar carried out his own coup that also led to the death of many soldiers but Nzeogwu from today Delta state known as Niger Delta plus other Igbo soldiers, and some Yoruba soldiers, Middlebelt soliders carried a coup based on their volition, Hausa-Fulanis and Yorubas turned around to tag it Igbo coup just because they were already envious of Igbos and looking for opportunity to destroy Igbos at all cost, of which the coup presented them with that barbaric opportunity but still after decades that Igbos lost virtually all they had in a preceding civil war, got politically marginalized by a gangup of Hausa-Fulanis and Yorubas since the end of the war in 1970 to date, some senseless, inhumane, unscrupulous people from Yoruba tribe still have the conscience to be blaming Igbos for whatever happened in 1966 instead issuing apology to Igbos and seeking for complete reconciliation and full reintegration of Igbos into Nigeria's federal politics to foster real peace, togetherness, love and unity.




Both Kemi and Reno Omockery will never die well, they will end in shame and their generation will reap the reward of their inhumane act and wickedness towards Igbos.


Personally, I still believe that Middlebelt people are reaping the fruit of their unjustified actions against Igbos between 1966 to 1970 in which they allowed Hausa-Fulanis to deceive them and used them to massacre innocent civilian Igbos living peacefully in their region because of what happened among the military. It ought to teach other Nigerians a lesson but they refused to learn and I strongly believe that nature will definitely teach those that are stubborn to learn from that their own hard lessons.

Bro, your write-up try but contradictions plenty.

The ibos weren't responsible for the coup but you further agreed that it was mostly them that carried it out.

Now who were those leaders that the young ibo coupists are trying to save the nation from? Same ibos you already said were holding most political positions...

So, the young coupists, mostly ibos, orchestrated a coup against a government where their tribesmen hold most key positions...

Bro, no how weh you wan package this thing; the ibos flopped in epic proportions during the post colonial into military era with that coup.

I'm just glad you admitted by yourself that the coupists were mostly ibos trying to overthrow a largely ibo government.
