People that follow Hundeyin have worms in the brain. That Russian plant is easily one of the biggest misinformation agents on social media.

Nzeogwu may have wanted it to not be an Igbo coup, but a sizable proportion of his collaborators did! Zik was somehow on a cruise during the coup?! Zero plans to dispose of Ironsi? In fact, Nzeogwu was enraged when he found out Ifeajuna made no plans to take out Ironsi.


All that said, I'm tired of young Igbos crying about a war they didn't experience. As someone from the SS, I have family members that lived in the Eastern region during the war, and even they laugh at the idea of a modern Biafra

A friend who is currently reading the book told me he is on page 64 where Babaginda said things about the coup and that the coup isnt an igbo coup as widely believed.

I was surprised this is coming from Babaginda. But I am not surprised about the facts because I know the facts.

I have read first hand facts about the coup by one of the major plotters Adewale Ademoyega in "Why we struck". He said "At no time in our meetings.did we.decide to single out any ethnic group,we were honourable and all we did was for love of country"

Nzeogwu
Adewale Ademoyega
Emmanuel Ifeajuna

Those 3 were the ring leaders who later brought in others to join the revolution.

But we are in an era of people not wanting to believe the truth or the facts but only wanting to believe whatever they choose to believe

To them 2 plus 2 is 22 and not 4. So with people like that who live in a world of alternative facts and realities,It is a very unfortunte scenario.
If God forbid the same happened today, the same conclusions will be drawn. The optics were very bad for the Ibo people.

Why?

The killing patterns – only Arthur Unegbe of the 22 casualties is of Igbo origin, while notable Igbo politicians like the Premier of Eastern region, the senate president Nwafor Orizu(which was convicted for corruption years before) and high ranking military personnel like Aguiyi Ironsi were unharmed.

The handing over of the government to Ironsi by Nwafor Orizu (the acting president and the senate president who could have called for the formation of another civilian government) made it look like it was planned out all along.[21]

The unification decree of May 1966 promulgated by Ironsi, leading to the abolition of regional power and the unification of the regional civil service into a federal civil service [22] – Historically speaking, the West and North have always believed in the regional system of government as the best form of government for a multi-ethnic country like Nigeria, however this was taken away by Ironsi, leading to a massive outrage and pogrom in the North in May 1966. This happened a few months before the counter coup by Northern soldiers, which lead to the death of Ironsi, Fajuyi and many officers of Igbo origin.

The coup plotters, though kept in jail, were never court-martialled and punished according to military procedure. On other occasions unsuccessful bloody coups meant death of the coup plotters, we can see the example in the coup attempts under Obasanjo(where Diya and other mutineers were killed by firing squad) and Babangida( where he had to kill Mamman Vatsa, his old time friend)

While the whole mess may have been a product of incompetence, miscalculations, and sheer ignorance, it looks like one big conspiracy especially if you are of Northern origin.

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

Ojukwu started the war that killed 3 million people. So it was also an Igbo war.

So Igbo coup led to Igbo war. Embrace the truth very deeply.

But the purpose of the Coup was to release Awo from Calabar Prison and make him President!!

Most of the Coup plotters are Yoruba!

Nzeogwu,the Coup leader was not from the Eastern region.He was from the Mid-west...with Capital in Benin City.

The Igbos of the then Mid-west were not seen by Nigerians....and do not eve see themselves...as Igbos as at that era.

What do you say to this bro?

If 1966 coup was not an Igbo coup, why did the 1967 counter coup killed only killed Igbo officers?

Why did ifeajuna and co only killed the Yoruba and Hausa/Fulani and spared Igbos?

For me the excution of 1966 coup made it an Igbo coup.....I dont need Hudeyin or IBB to tell that

Re: David Hundeyin Blasts Legacy Media For Inventing The "Igbo Coup" Hoax by Jagaban2012: 11:22am On Feb 22, 2025
Rufai Oseni is trying to impress his IBo paymaster by playing the self-deprecation card.and humiliated his tribe. I laugh in Swahili. Unbeknownst to him, the average Ibo looks at every Yoruba with the same hatred.

The assassination of Zacharia Ma Maleri by Ifeayin Ifajuna, as well as the assassination of the then-premier of the northern region by Kaduna Nzogwu and other political and military dignitaries from the western and northern regions, did not convince Rufai Oseni that it was an Ibo coup.
Now, tell that buffoon Rufai Oseni to list the Ibo dignitaries, whether soldiers or politicians, who were massacred in the gory incident....

If he can name three Ibo people, I will believe him.

It was NOT an Igbo coup. (Igbo coup would mean that the Igbo elite reached a consensus of sorts to take over the country. We know that was not what happened. It was just some misguided army men doing things).

However, "Igbo coup" was not invented out of thin air by Hundeyin's new enemies, the West and its media, as Hundeyin would have us believe. The preponderance of Igbo officers among the coupists and the fact there were no coup activities in the East gave rise to that belief among Nigerians.

5 people might engage in a plot.

However, the plot required 60 co-conspirators all of the same ilk.

Within the conspiracy, might be an agreement amongst the 60, to do harm to a certain group which the other 5 may not have signed up for.

When all is said and done, the dominant 60 are truly responsible for the mayhem that ensued, as it was never the original plot, and it was championed by the 60.

Igbo coup all day, every day.

Has Babangida ever been known to be a honest and sincere human being? Those who are too young to know should ask elders about his transition to democracy promises and what came out of them.

Yet his account or interpretation of a contentious issue has now become the gold standard? Someone should ask Hundeyin where Babangida got the credibility to attain that height.
