Agreed, what of adewale ademoyegahuh He lied too? He was a graduate of university of London, a full member of the inner caucus of the coup , a Yoruba from ogun state, have you read the book why we struck? Or you just come online as usual with your empty brain to spew rubbish as usual, my name is Femi , and all the Femi that I know are usually womanizer and book smart , I don't think you are either

The couter coup was directed against Igbo leaders which later manifest to poor treatment of igbos in the North...which led to the eminent Biafra war

IBB said Nzeogwu was more Hausa than Igbo but yet betrayed the Hausas.
His reason was that Nzeogwu grew up in the North, was from Delta and understood Hausa. Very funny. It's like saying someone is not Nigerian because he grew up in Europe.

This has nothing to do with bigotry… we must bring history into our education system. The truth must be preserved… the Godwin Orkar coup was definitely a southern coup and not an Igbo coup…

Touchy subject.

Only those who get all their news from social media believed social media.

From what I have read, Northerners then believed it was an ethnic coup.
And if you want to blame them, take a look at the facts.

Top Northern politicians were killed and their killing was bragged about on national TV by an office of Igbo descent.

The Igbo president was not in the country.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:

"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"

Following which Aguiyi Ironsi, an Igbo man became Military head of state.

And he went ahead to sign the Unitary decree which took power from the regions.
And also failed to execute any of the coup plotters.

This was 1966 when news traveled slower and we had lower education and literacy rates.

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

If God forbid, a similar thing happened today, people will still draw the same conclusion.

I hope we can all heal and move past these or go our separate ways if that will remove the distrust and suspicions because it's becoming sickening at this point.

Most people spew hate online and have friends from the same ethnic group they hate so much.
Exactly, if for example 10 out of 12 people planned and executed a coup and the 10 of them are of igbo extraction then it is an igbo coup....they killed everybody else except their leaders.....orizu and nnamdi azikiwe were spared, bello, balewa,akitola, okotie eboh, were all murdered and they want us to believe it wasn't an igbo coup.....make dem dey play

This thing is not hard , all this IBB book and the rest are just cho cho, adewale ademoyega why we struck is more than a comprehensive book on this matter and exactly why a counter coup took place was discussed extensively in the book chiefly among promotion of ibo officers by ironsi who is an unfortunate beneficiary of the coup,
Keeping the coup plotters behind bars and eating the best food available irritate the norherners a lot , it's not the coup plotters fault that this happened, most of them were in uyo prison when the war break out , and that was the reason they fought on behalf of Biafra, they are soldiers, they were all happy to participate cos it's what they wanted to do, Nigeria will not want them so they fought where they were wanted

Even nzeogwu was release from prison , Nigeria did not want him to fight on their side , Biafra too did not want him to fight on their side too, so the man arrange small force of guerrilla fighters and we're just fighting aimlessly alone until he was kill , non of the fighting side want him, according to adewale, nzeogwu is a sweet talker , he can convince you to shoot your mother
Have you got the book (Why We Struck), please? A soft copy?

How can a person who for decades is referred to as an EVIL GENIUS and a MARADONA tell the truth.

Of course his book is lies upon lies.

He is just being manipulative with the 1966 coup to get sympathy from the one and only EMOTIONAL tribe in Nigeria.

Lol IBB is willing to enter is grave by telling more lies .

Babangida is truly an EVIL GENIUS and a MARADONA till his last breathe.

Corrupt nigerian politicians that have used this igbo coup narrative to capture and remain in power over the years will definitely not be happy with this ibb revelation their foot soldiers like reno okokri, sam omashaye, ffk, ononuga etc will be wailing now because their job description of painting the igbo evil to the nigerian electorate has now become more difficult. Let's see what next they intend to come up with in 2027 to win the presidential election.

The unjustified hatred for the Igbos have been entrenched in their psychy. Nothing gives them orgasm than an opportunity to perpetuate the hate.
They are brainless and a danger to themselves and society.

Rufai oseni or IBB can only state their own opinions and not the truth.
The coup planning was never an ethinic one but the execution by ifeajuna and other Igbo officers were ethinic based
They killed only Hausa/Fulani/Yoruba and spared all Igbo people and you are saying it was not Igbo coup.
So the 1967 counter coup was not a northern coup then?....they also killed only igbo officers
For me the 1966 coup by execution was an Igbo coup and the 1967 couter coup was Northern coup.
Rufai Oseni is an emotional bias obedient supporter. He is only interested in blaming Tinubu for everything

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.
