Muritala coup is not “Hausa Coup” because it was a counter coup to teach the Ibo coupist bitter lessons never to repeat their treachery.
I don't care what reasons the Northerners had for their own coup, everyone has their own different reasons for doing coup. However, if Nzeogwus coup is an Igbo coup because it affected the leaders of of other Regions, then it is no different to Murtala Mohammeds 'Hausa Coup', ' Buhari's 'Fulani coup' or Dimkas 'middle belt coup'

In that case, Murtala Mohammed coup is a 'Hausa coup', it killed the leaders of other Regions but not his own

That same Murtala Mohammed was put on the N20 note, has Airports and buildings named after him, for doing a 'Hausa Coup'
Yes, Northerners don't deny their coup. They accept it with their full chest. Na you be cowards, denying the obvious. You go explain tire.

Murtala coup was bloodless, Igbo coup was too bloody, from North to West to Midwest, only the East were spared.

Yoruba soldiers are also coward for not avenging the death of our premier.

The foolish “Yoruba But” Ademoyega was used by Ibo people to murder his own leader while they spare their own.

It is the same way “Yoruba But” in Labor party look on while Ibos allocated all electoral position to non-Yoruba under labor party. Same thing happened during EndSars, burn Lagos and spare Enugu as proclaimed by Kanu.

Ironsi — Next in command; spared
Azikiwe — Excecutive President; spared
Nwafor Orizu — Senate President; Spared
Eastern Region premier — Spared
I love your anti Obidient energy but on this one, I don't agree.

Akintola was, let's just say, not a nice human being. This was a Yoruba man that was importing thugs from Republic of Benin to cause mayhem in his own region.

Generally, most Yoruba people didn't give a toss when he died, I guess same as Yoruba army boys. It was a case of good riddance to bad rubbish.

Ademoyega is not to blame, he didn't know certain fellow coup potters had their own agenda.

Murtala actually never carried out a coup.

He was part of the team involved in the revenge match but events, firstly in Abeokuta and I guess Ibadan took things well out of his hands.

He also was not part of the coup that outsted Gowon as by then, his antics during the war (not just Asaba but failed attempts to set foot in ala igbo with the marine division) meant no one would take him seriously after that.

Like Buhari, the coup potters handed the mantle to him after doing the heavy lifting. He knew about it though.

Weirdly, he is said to have ancestry from Edo North.

Buhari's coup was a Fukani coup

The Yoruba cowards never mourned the death of their governor murdered by northern soldiers to avoid provoking the killers rather they blamed Gov Fajuyi for insisting to be killed along side Ironsi what a falacy.

These rumours were amplified by stories of some Igbos gloating over the January killings. Contrary to a promise given after the coup was quashed that the coup plotters would be tried, none was ever brought to trial, although some were detained. On the contrary, a few of the coup plotters were promoted. These confirmed rumours that an Igbo domination of national affairs was in the works.

Yes, spared in prison. Na everyone you think mumu like una.

They spare him in prison, Ironsi took power and never deem it fit to release him for over 6months until Gowon eventually released the man.

So Ibo go do coup to put Yoruba man in power, even Ojuku will laugh you in his grave.
Awoloowo the chief beneficiary spared, using prison as his cover to remove every suspicion from himself. Typical coward.

Thank God Babangida has helped to shed light on this episode, as a major actor in that era

Why must any sensible person wait for IBB to tell them what was glaring. Did you believe IBB that ibo wives were mocking the wives of military northerners over the coup?

Yorubas. Make una rest. The coup was masterminds by Awolowo but he betrayed his associates so as to be called a good man.

So it was a Yoruba coup after all.
