Part List Of Over 300 People Killed In The July 29th 1966 Coup And Their Army No by gidgiddy(op):
So you want to remind the world of the January 15th 1966 coup? The one you love to tag 'Igbo coup'? Good! We shall all learn Nigerian history together, not the one sided one you want. All 8 coups that happened in Nigeria will be exposed for what they were, the participants will be named, and the casualties will be known. The July 29th 1966 coup , the February 13th 1976 coup, the December 31st 1983 coup, the 27th of August 1985 coup, 22 April 1990 Okar coup etc

I will publish the names of all 300 people Murtala Mohammed killed in his coup of July 29th 1966, later on July 29th this year. But for now, I will name just 40 from the officers corpse. I will also include their Army number for anyone who wishes to verify. Bare in mind that even though Murtala Mohammed was a murderous coup plotter who killed hundreds, the same man was put on the N20 note, has various landmarks such as Airports and highways named after him in his honour, by Nigeria.

Some people want to rewrite history from the '80s and '90s, when they were born, forgetting that this country existed decades before their parents were born.

y not tell us the tribe of d 30 people he published

Nobody had any problem with muritala coup cos he didn't kill just one tribe, he killed military men that coup stop him from getting power n that's military coup n not Igbo coup

The difference between military coup n Igbo coup is that in military coup u kill everyone u see as a barrier irrespective of tribe but in Igbo coup only other people's leaders were killed except Igbos


Muritala from d north killed northerners in d coup n also every barrier from all Tribes

The Igbo coup only killed other people's leaders except Igbo leaders

the muritala coup is a pure military coup cos even when muritala was a northerner he killed even northerners n everyone standing as a barrier in his way n he didn't made it about killing other tribes n leaving northerners


U Igbos killed all other tribes except your own, u killed all other people's leaders except your own

What muritala did is what happens in all millitary coups in d world n it's very normal

Kill every obstacle in your way n emerge irrespective of tribe


But the Igbo coup have never been heard anywhere that some tribe will kill all other people's leaders except their own n have their way to power

If e sure for u post d tribes of all d people killed

That shows you the low standards of Nigeria, that a coup plotter, killer and sociopath, such as Murtala Mohammed, is who your country put on its national currency as a hero.

You say igbos were not killed..I pointed a senior military officer of Igbo extraction a colonel at that time..you say it's collateral damage.. so others were not collateral damages ..


Was he not resisting the coupists like some others were allegedly resisting?

I'm not here to banter numbers with you like a bunch of dimwits .. u said a whole senior military leader killed was coincidence...if he was not an Igbo man will you not count him as being targeted for not being Igbo?? A coup that featured the 3 major tribes both in participation and casualties but u dimwits keep struggling in futility to wear an Igbo strait on it...
