They have started again.


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

Igbos need to come out n shout their own version of history, cus the hatred the Yoruba has for the Igbo, n carrying the northern part is alarming

ScamDemicEra:
...... the word Yoruba RONU was NOT coined by Akintola, it was coined by Hubert Ogunde it was the title of an album !

Which year did Herbert Ogunde made the album

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.

So if ironsi removed regional government more than 50 years ago as a military head of state,how come no civilian president including Tinubu brought it back through the constitution?
Or is the civilian government not supposed to right the wrong of the military?
This distorted and outdated narrative is clearly illogical!

Good read. Thanks for the history lesson.

megasoul:
After the Rwandan genocide, the Tutsi and Hutu communities chose not to dwell on past grievances but instead focused on healing, forgiveness, and rebuilding a stronger nation. When they recounted the horrors of the massacre, it was not to rekindle hatred or division—they had already learned that such actions lead to no good—but to educate the younger generation, ensuring they avoid the mistakes that led to the 1994 genocide.

Sadly, in Nigeria, we don’t seem to adopt the same mindset. We remain deeply divided along ethnic and religious lines, failing to recognize that we are all victims of the same political system and leadership. Every time I read comments on Nairaland, I find myself losing hope in the future of our country.

True!

ntyce:
"Grip on power"?
Election was conducted, your man lost, move on.
The actions of your fathers in killing other tribal leaders but sparing theirs wasn't evil abi?
Miraculously, Michael Okpara and Zik escaped death but Tafawa Balewa, Ahmadu Bello, Akintola, Fajuyi and co couldn't escape.
You guys truly deserve whatever comes your way.

people like you must die before Nigeria can move forward.

Is that a flex or what kolo woman

garykoeman:
Lies and gibberish from ibo man.

How come nnamdi azikwe knew that tafawa balewa was already dead. When the British high commission and the secret service believe he was still missing.

How come azikwe knew Ironsi will be the next head of state.

Twice Ironsi encountered the coupist on the road and he was able to miraculously escape them. Who are u people fooling.

How come nzeogwu murdered the 2 senior Yoruba officers in the north and left their deputy who accidentally were ibos.

All the people murdered in Lagos civilian or millitary officers, no ibo man was touch and south east has the highest number of officers in the Nigeria army then.

How come the non ibo participant were not assign any target to kill.

The only people who killed tafawa balewa, ahmadu bello, akintola mimilari, ademulegun, were ibo officers.

No matter how u Try to twist history. The evidence is their to nail. You people

It is 100% an ibo coup, which was plan to exterminate and dominate all the other tribes in the country.

Being that you lack wisdom, you were not supposed to ask some of the senseless questions you asked.


Nnamdi Azikiwe was informed about the coup by his cousin who happened to be one of the coup leaders; Ifeajuna. Mind you there was no Telephone to call international immediately then, only Telegram I guess which took days and Zik was in the Carribeans on medical vacation. So who phoned and told him?


Of course the young, naive Igbo officers may have been tribalist with tribal sentiments in their hearts, that was purely their own decision and not all Igbos decision. That they decided to spare Igbo officers and politicians was their own individual decisions, they never consulted Igbo communities to get their approval to do so, so it was purely a military affair that ought to have ended within the military and politicians.


Igbos even wished Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe was killed in the coup cos most Igbos then never liked him cos he was more of pan African than Pan Igbo, so most Igbos didn't even liked him, so him being spared was based on the coupists volition and not from generality of Igbos.



No Igbo condemned the counter coup that killed Ironsi the then head of state and also led to death of hundreds of Igbo military officers, it was justified, one one, no issue, where the issue arose was Yorubas and Hausa-Fulanis tagging the coup an Igbo coup and extending the madness to innocent Igbo civilians living peacefully in the North out of the collective envy Hausa-Fulanis and Yorubas had for Igbos even before the January 1966 coup just because of Igbo people's success and dominance in most sectors then which was purely on merit, that was why it was tagged Igbo coup to use the opportunity to wipe Igbos out nothing more or less.


Same pattern has continued till date where Yorubas try everything humanly possible to tag anything as Igbo agenda to incite other Nigerian tribes to join them hate and attack Igbos, which social media is gradually changing unlike before that there was no social media to counter Yoruba people's lies, propaganda and incitement of other tribes against Igbos like they did from 1966 to 2010 or thereabouts.


Peter Obi came out and Igbos massively supported him, first time Igbos ever united and supported an Igbo Presidential candidate, something they didn't even do during Nnamdi Azikiwe era, what did Yorubas do? They kept using every media channel to paint Peter Obi as an Igbo candidate as if there were no Yoruba, Hausa-Fulani, etc candidates.


See if una like learn, if una like dont learn and repent, na nature go settle una matter last last.


As for progress and success, Igbos will remain the most successful tribe in Nigeria whether una like am or not, na God do am. You guys need to have visited Southeast last December to know that Igbo people are 30much, anybody thinking he can stop Igbos is wasting his or her time, it's like hitting your bare hands on a tipper fully loaded with concrete and hoping that your bare hands would stop the tipper from moving, una no fit stop Igbos from shinning and progressing, its God's gift, if we survived the pogrom and the brutal civil war that followed plus the decades of federal political marginalization since 1970 to become a formidable force we are today in Nigeria and outside Nigeria, that should have made you wicked souls and haters of Igbos to give up and let Igbos be

How long will these disgruntled lazy yorubas continue to distort history just because of winning elections? Everyone already knows ojukwu and azikiwe where never part of that coup ojukwu who was commanding an army division in kano at that time even protected all the emirs under his authority yet this mental patient and others like her have been trying everything in their books to instigate ethnic hatred against the igbos in nigeria once again.

SporaD8:
I would rather we stop opening fresh wounds where one is already healing.
However, the determination of some people to rewrite history - believing that the louder they scream concocted lies about, the more history will be rewritten - will only force more people to come out and set the record straight!

Distorting history is the only easiest way for them to win elections let's see what they will come up with again in this coming 2027 presidential elections.

Akintola - the man that coined the word Yoruba RONU

Many years ago, after Igbos have dominated most of the Nigeria government works, the west & the north didn't actually care. Then the Igbos pushed it further by; if Uni of Ibadan released admission letter of 100 students, 80 students will be Igbos. Then the rest Nigerians will be dragging the remaining 20..

Akintola couldn't keep quiet regarding that education part. He said the Igbos can take all the government jobs, no problem... But you see the education part...? No, it can't be. That was why he voiced it out then that Yoruba RONU! Education is a must and without it, progress would be hard! And you know what? ... Yoruba actually woke up and stood against that injustice!

Igbo made Akintola an enemy instantly! Some Yorubas don't know the kind deep hatred an average Igbo has for the Yorubas. They think it's a joke..

For posterity, a correction needs to be made.

After Nigeria gained her independence in October 1, 1960, Chief Obafemi Awolowo who was the leader of the Yorubas and former Premier of the defunct Western Region was conspired against. He was jailed 10 years over a trumped up charge of ‘treason’. Awo’s detractors were so happy. It was during this period of jubilation that Ogunde and his troupe were invited by the new Western Region government headed by one-time best friend of Chief Awolowo, Chief Ladoke Akintola, to present plays. Chief Ogunde unveiled two plays; Yoruba Ronu (Yoruba Think) and Otitokoro (Truth is bitter).

Yoruba Ronu was a prophetic play that lampooned the government and foretold the political future of Chief Akintola and his followers. In 2017, Adedara Oduguwa translated the Yoruba Ronu into English in his unpublished book Hubert Ogunde: Odyssey of a Renowned Nationalist. The summary:

There lived a king in Yorubaland named Fiwajoye. This king was so powerful and popular among the people of his kingdom. It was a time of plenty. But his second-in-command, Ekeji-Oye was envious and wanted the king to be dethroned so he could be king. Ekeji-oye therefore betrayed the king and the Yorubas into the hands of an enemy,Yeye-Iloba, who conquered the king and his people. After a harrowing servitude during which King Fiwajoye and his people were maltreated and humiliated, the Yorubas fought and won back their freedom. And the fortunes of the Yorubas were restored several folds.

Ekeji oye was subsequently banished from Yorubaland.” Chief Akintola and his ministers stormed out of the hall mid-way through the play; they believed the drama was a ridicule of their government. The general interpretation was that Chief Awolowo was Oba Fiwajoye (who at the time was being jailed for treason), while Yeye-Iloba represents Yorubas’ enemies.

The following day, Chief Akintola’s government slammed a ban on Ogunde Theater for two years (1964-1966) in the Western Region where 80% of his fans resided. Consequently, no one could buy or play Ogunde’s songs on radio or at home. It was a turbulent time for the creative actor and father of Nigerian theater. But then, Ogunde’s prophesy (Yoruba Ronu) came to pass, just two years after the play was first staged. Chief Akintola and 21 other top government officials, including the Prime Minister, Alhaji Tafawa Balewa were assassinated in the January 1966 coup. Subsequently, Chief Awolowo regained his freedom, rose to become the first de facto second-in-command under any military regime in African, and also Nigeria’s Federal Minister of Finance.

The same pattern which lead to the killing of northerner and westerner by ibos officer in the first republic rear it ugly head in the last election. When your people were all over the place portraying obi has a saint while demonizing other candidates character and antecedent.

Those spreading the igbo propaganda already know the truth about the coup but choose to distort the history because it's very convenient for them to continue to use it to grab political power for themselves but am very sure the north is already getting tired of this Igbo propaganda because they are the most affected by it due to the bad governance it breeds at the long run.

But what did they want to achieve with that coup? Just for the little chance of being in charge of the armory and having a sizeable number of officers in the military, they sort to eliminate other tribes. Imagine them as president.

Though the North made them pay with their lives in millions for this. SW has always been at the receiving ends due to their docile and friendly nature. If it were be in a different clime, IPOB will forever be banished from Yoruba land. But here they are, comfortable enough to even aspire to rule in Yoruba land. I know they won't enjoy these privileges forever. The people will wake up to them one day, just a matter of time. Especially for the fact that, you are still rascally and arrogant to them

@seun you are loosing the plot on a daily by allowing your platform be a fertile ground for all kinds of hates. From Politics to Religion to Tribe guy you can do better.

Ok, thanks for this history it's fine buy me but at this moment to what important is this story?

Stop lying!

It was an ibos coup, the Yoruba man and other tribe were ambushed and trapped, they didn't realize what was going on until it was too late.

It was like a man who thought that he was having a fun ride with friends around town until he finds his friends pulling into a bank to rob it and before he could say jack his friends are in a shootout with police.

You even betrayed brotherhood in the military, no one should ever trust you.

Anyways people know that you people can never tell the truth in this world. But know that only your account will be different because truth doesn't change.

And the funniest of your lies was, you wanted to make your sworn enemy Awolowo the president, the man you couldn't wait to put in prison Immediately after the British left on fake charges.

You also killed Yoruba leaders and others,while you spared your own leaders, the north retaliated, you moved back home and declared Biafra about a year later after looting all the central banks.

You would have had your biafra if you didn't invade Yorubaland, the very single act that got Yoruba involved and cost you the war.


Awolowo told the north that if ibos are allowed to go, he would lead Yoruba out too. But you didn't leave because of covetousness.

Greed is the only reason you didn't get biafra.

This was what led to biafra war.

But since no one can lie more than you people, not even the devil himself, go ahead and keep deceiving yourselves. One day you will face the truth.

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

your points are more or less dancing around the bush. It is not Yorubas who killed themselves neither was it the Hausas/fulanis who killed themselves. Study showed that most eastern leaders on the same ranking and footing with the western and northern leader were all spared and the chief of army staff coming from the eastern region then. And unfortunately refused to execute the coup plotters. Easterners were the majority in the coup plotting, so mentioning other tribes is as if, saying that their subjects could have disobeyed their superiors on the grounds of order. And everyone knows how the military works, no one dares! So count the few none igbos out! Who were involved. Let’s stop sugar coating the scenario, the truth is bitter. And that is why the easterners are bitter until this very day over what has always been in their minds by wanting to break away after all failed attempts of taking full control of the country as they were already planted everywhere then at at the time.

It is not your fault neither was it mine, but that was what actually happened. An average Igbo man on the street never accepts this reality of the past! They prefer telling tales that will cover up for their faults and short comings of the past which is not possible. One can’t buy facts over using false means. Truth remain truth. We are talking about logic and reality. Those who never witnessed it can still deduce the truth logically.

Truthcat:
Stop lying!

It was an ibos coup, the Yorubaman and other guys were ambushed and trapped, they didn't realize what waa was going until it was too late.

It was like a man who thought that he was having a fun ride with friends around town until he finds his friends pulling into a bank to rob it and before he could say jack his friends are in a shootout with police.

Anyways people know that you people can never tell the truth in this world. But know that only your account will be different because truth doesn't change.

very correct. Truth doesn’t change!

The truth is the truth. FFK first wrote this, and Kemi is supporting his story. I had written about this war before. The fact is that Igbo will NEVER take responsibility of their actions. Lol.

And I have said it several times, Igbo will not be allowed to rule NIGERIA again. Zik, an Igbo man was the first Nigerian president, and will be the last. The only way there will ever be an Igbo president is an Igbo president of an Igbo nation. Yoruba will keep playing Igbo around, and the north (Hausa and Fulani) will keep saying it to the face of Igbo that it will never happen. And I strongly believe that it will not happen.

My advice to this generation is that Igbo should find a way to develop their region, so they can be ready to diplomatically cut away from Nigeria. But they are all in Lagos and PH fighting there that they developed both places. Lol. Main while, their hosts have keep them tight there like how Pharoah kept Israelites in bondage in Egypt. Lol.

Even their savior Obi ruled Anambra, but ran to Lagos after 8 years of governing the state. Lol. Did we hear Elrufai ran out of Kaduna after ruling it? Where did Buhari return to? What about OBJ? Obj returned to his Otta farm in Ogun. Lol. How many Igbo ruled their states and returned there? Even Soludo will return to Lagos after his tenure. Lol.

So, Igbo isn't ready to be independent. They wanted to take Nigeria out of greediness in the 60s, but they met their calamity and stagnation.

It's ONLY a Yoruba, Fulani, or Hausa that will split this nation if it will happen. And I see it happening soon after Tinubu because the signals are already there. My advice to Igbo is to be smart and find means to start developing their region. Infrastructural development happening in south-west is massive and road networking here and there in the region are the signals I am seeing. Those networks are there for Lagos to keep raking income from sea importation. From Lagos, you pay and they move your goods via road. Wike is following the same pattern in Rivers. Borders will soon be erected in strategic positions. Mark my words.

Let us be real to ourselves? How many people want to live in Igboland? Be real? Even Igbos themselves are running away. More Igbos are born in Lagos and PH.....are those kids the ones you expect to return to their region? But when it happens, they will be forced to leave. So, why can't they just be smart for once and start doing what is right instead of constituting nuisance on social media platforms?

These articles serve as both reminders of the past and prophecies for what is to come. He who has ears, let such use it well. A foretold war cannot kill a wise lame.

Honestly, you are very Deluded. The Earlier Igbos Parents tell their kids the truth the better. The way things are going, we may never have an Igbo Presidency in Nigeria. There are many ethnic groups in Nigeria. Igbos think they own Calabar, Akwa Ibom, Delta. Jokers!

Listen, read you history first and find out Igbos were Slaves to other tribes 300years Ago.

It's so convenient for you to say that. I am Igbo too, but I don't like scant exhibition of empathy. It's so rightwing Zionism for me. But the question I'd ask is if the shoe was on the other foot, would you still stick to this contribution?

A 17month old? I dont get it.

Please help me ask him if he was born when the whole saga played out.

You can’t just rebuff history just because it doesn't fit your own narrative

Lifestone:
Which year did Herbert Ogunde made the album

1964. It was a play about a deputy betraying his King.
While the stage play was ongoing, Premier Akintola and his commissioners left the theatre angrily because they believed the play was condemning his govt.
The next day Ogunde theatre group was banned for 2yrs...
Youruba Ronu will always be associated with Chief Ogunde.

Liarrrrrrrr
