Watch the whole video of the interview from an Igala man from Kogi State who served in the Nigerian army, witnessed the coup of 1966 and even fought on the Federal side during the war.

Very insightful, we need to learn from our past mistakes

Toh

The interview is a must watch. The war veteran was there from the onset. His recollection of the war is objective. Unlike these revisionists like Ffk or Reno who were either breastfeeding or yet to be conceived during the war.

The veteran is obviously speaking from an angle of bias.. one sided revolution in a multi-ethnic nation like Nigeria is no revolution atal but ethnic cleansing..
What happened on 15 January 1966 was more of an ethnic cleansing of top leaders to pave way for a particular ethnic group to take power which they did.

Same thing was almost repeated when Igbo youths in Lagos and other South West States started running around looking for who to maim under guise of 'revolution now', whereas they kept their own South East safe and protest free. Sane Yorubas had to quickly raise the alarm before they ran off the streets.

When you think you're too wise and smart, you'll end up commiting blunder that will have catastrophic effect on the populace. Why were the Igbos living in the North rejoicing after gruesome murder of Sarduana Ahmadu Bello by Nzeogwu?, why were they using statements like "goats are crying" and other provocative slurs?. Shows they were happy and had an hidden agenda to enslave the North and other parts of Nigeria.. Just being honest here. It means Igbos never saw others especially North as brothers and fellow countrymen right from the beginning.

Truly, you are the one that's bias here.
