MadPolitician:
Question 1: Jailed at where??
Answer: Calabar, Eastern Nigeria that was totally under the control of the coupists..

Question 2: Why was the manikin in jail at Calabar??
Answer: He plotted a coup, and was caught, dutifully tried in a court of competent jurisdiction, and was effectively sentenced for treason.

Question 3: If the Yorubas recognised him as their true leader, and the coup according to agbadorian mutants was all about igbo officers eliminating the leaders of all other regions but theirs, why was Awolowo who was sitting on a platter at Calabar saved?


...,we are waiting for your normal uncouth outbursts, because you can never provide any good answers to that
Awolowo was no threat then! He is incarcetrated, Akintola the perceived threat because he was the premier was killed, use your brain

When I look at this obi people,l just become confuse. They are peddling Nonsense lies! the coup plotters wanted to reinstall Awolowo, but babaginda and gowon decided to deal with the ibos? Because they were so foolish Abi? This lie na DOA!
It's par for the course for Obidients, even they don't believe the nonsense they write and that's the problem with being shameless, you just don't care.

It does start at the top. Peter Obi said he'll sue Sahara Reporters for the "Yes Daddy" audio, we are still waiting. He said politics is dirty and he is different and as such, he will produce his personal election expenses, we are still waiting.

Obidients are obviously still plugging through their evolutionary journey. God guide them as they arrive at the point where they realise their outpourings have to make sense

Awolowo was sentenced to ten years imprisonment in 1962
So to answer your idiotic questions he was in prison and wasn't the premier then
Igbos killed the premier Ladoke Akintola
They killed people of other regions and never touched their own. Moreso, the coup plotters were Igbo senior military officers. They used unsuspecting young Hausa officers who didn't have an idea of what was going until they observed that they were only killing their own people and Yorubas under the instructions of senior Igbo officers. That was how they targeted and killed igbo civilians in retaliation. Real history attached. The evil genius who killed his own childhood friend has written a story and they have fried egg on it to eat it belleful.

Mention one person that was killed in prison during the yoruba coup.

If awolowo wasn’t imprisoned there would have been no coup
Lols. There were 3 Premiers, the North, the West and the East. There was a coup by the people of the east. They killed prime minister, premier of the west and north and left their own in Michael Iheonukara Okpara. They killed others and left their own and someone who ran Nigeria to the ground has now come to tell you HIS OWN side of the story and you are masturbating in it. The same set of people that denied you Biafra are now your best friends. That's Nigeria for you actually. Osinbajo in his speech said it all.

There was bloodletting violence everywhere in the west with the influence of the northern premier, akintola and sarduna were the cause of the unrest while balewa the pm was unconcerned about the situation. The young soldiers had to step in to address the situation remember adewale from the west was the original coup plotter

You know the kicker about their Babangida hero worship? IBB was amongst the group of Northern soldiers that killed scores of Eastern officers who celebrated the January coup (most didn't take part, just celebrated it) .

They were seriously tortured for several hours and killed at the end of the return match. That is who Obidients have turned their hero. Obidients seem to lack any sense.

If other politicians from other regions, except SE were killed, why was Awolowo sparedhuh
Just asking for a friend.
Not just that. Why were all the civilians that were killed in that coup, Awolowo's opponents, including his opponent in Western Nigeria?

The ones that were not killed, it was leaked to them by their kinsman. How can you say Zik wasn't an opponent of Awo.

They have been going at it since pre-independence when Zik took over NCNC from Herbert Maccaulay..

Stop this conflation, it's a nonsense and lacks any logic.

Awo was more an opponent of Balewa than he was of Zik. Balewa was the prime minister of the regime that prosecuted and imprisoned Awolowo.

Awo's party was in alliance with Zik's party when the coup took place, so you cannot bring that issue up.

A major pointer though, was the fact that Awo's coupists also killed Akintola, who was a major opponent of Awolowo in Western Nigeria.

Awo wasn't even an opponent of Balewa, it was Ahmadu Bello that was his opponent.

I know what you are doing, but I will correct the nonsense regardless.

How can Awo's party be in alliance with Zik when NCNC and NPC were ruling the country?

SLA was killed as per the agreement of the coupists about the fate of all premiers and the two at the top (Zik and Balewa), a snidey Ndigbo rat leaked it to his tribesman and in the process, set up the return match that Ndi North carried out.

It's one of those senseless idiots trying to propagate their 'non-Igbo-coup' narrative....plus, why asking that Awo should have been killed, when he didn't hold any post? Typical Ibo mentality
