| Who Imprisoned Awolowo In 1962 Vs Those Killed In 1966 Coup by PHIPEX(op): 4:43pm On Feb 23, 2025*. Modified: 5:05pm On Feb 23, 2025 |
Tafawa Balewa, Ahmed Bello and Akintola Imprisoned Awolowo in 1962 for organising a coup against the young govt of Tafawa Balewa Another coup to save Awolowo from prison was organised in 1966 and Ahmadu Bello, Tafawa Balewa and Akintola were killed. This coup was led by an Igbo man (Nzeogu) but also stopped by another Igbo man (Major Obienu) Could Awolowo have been angry that an Igbo man foiled the 2nd coup? But they turned around to call it Igbo coup and this led to Biafran war Make of this whatever you wish

CodeTemplar:Have you read Awolowo's personal account ? He confirmed this himself, but like a typical African, we don't read

Which coup has ever produced a civilian head of state in Nigeria...? Did Awolowo even know those bloodthirsty demons? How will Awolowo leave prison to lead the country when the Ceremonial president, the Senate President, the GOC at all Ibos and they are alive, don't you think he would have them murdered if all you are saying even makes any sense? Abeg dey think |

Nomercie:Aphonja believe omokri instead of IBB. more wailings for you |
| Re: Who Imprisoned Awolowo In 1962 Vs Those Killed In 1966 Coup by PHIPEX(op): 5:05pm On Feb 23, 2025 |
iamnotillicit:Go and read Awolowo's personal account and stop this trash. Abdulsalami Abubakar handed over to Obj in less than a year in 1999. Obj himself willingly handed over power to a civilian Shagari |
| Re: Who Imprisoned Awolowo In 1962 Vs Those Killed In 1966 Coup by iamnotillicit(m): 5:07pm On Feb 23, 2025 |
PHIPEX:You don't seem to know what a coup means... Shagari and Obj won elections they didn't get there because of a coup Are you normal at all? |
| Re: Who Imprisoned Awolowo In 1962 Vs Those Killed In 1966 Coup by XerXers: 5:08pm On Feb 23, 2025 |
iamnotillicit:The coupist will sieze power first before installing their preferred civilian. Abiola planned Abacha coup same way but it backfired just like Obienu crushed Awolowo coup. Ifeajuna is a well known Awolowo boy. Your problem is you think everything is about tribe. How come Anuforo killed Unegbe for resisting to surrender the armoury? Stop tribalizing every national event |
| Re: Who Imprisoned Awolowo In 1962 Vs Those Killed In 1966 Coup by iamnotillicit(m): 5:10pm On Feb 23, 2025 |
XerXers:So it's no longer necessarily Awolowo but their preferred civilian... |
| Re: Who Imprisoned Awolowo In 1962 Vs Those Killed In 1966 Coup by PHIPEX(op): 5:12pm On Feb 23, 2025 |
iamnotillicit:So they just won election and walked into bother room to take over power from military men? See wacked thinking. Why didn't MKO that won in 1993 take over from IBB? |
| Re: Who Imprisoned Awolowo In 1962 Vs Those Killed In 1966 Coup by Elusive001: 5:13pm On Feb 23, 2025 |
iamnotillicit:Were you there? Did Awolowo tell you these? What do you even know personally about Awolowo other than what is in public knowledge. Was any of your ancestors there? The actors wrote different books and they all said the same thing. IBB was a key player and he said what happened. Who are you to dispute him? |
| Re: Who Imprisoned Awolowo In 1962 Vs Those Killed In 1966 Coup by LegendHero(m): 5:14pm On Feb 23, 2025 |
Awolowo the greatest strategists of all time. He summoned Ibo people and ask them to carry out a coup against Nigeria, then purposely told the Northeners to massacre 50k Ibos while leaving Yoruba people intact. His only blame is that why baba forget release himself for prison when his slaves he sent on coup errands were able to kpai the prime minister successfully? |
| Re: Who Imprisoned Awolowo In 1962 Vs Those Killed In 1966 Coup by XerXers: 5:15pm On Feb 23, 2025 |
iamnotillicit:It's the same. An election will be conducted few months aftet coup for formalities. Just that the plan failed |
| Re: Who Imprisoned Awolowo In 1962 Vs Those Killed In 1966 Coup by PHIPEX(op): 5:15pm On Feb 23, 2025 |
iamnotillicit:You can also ask why was a civilian Awolowo jailed for plotting a coup against Tafawa Balewa? Do civilians carryout coup? You are thinking like a pawn |

LegendHero:And fake rat poison made in Aba later finish him off |
| Re: Who Imprisoned Awolowo In 1962 Vs Those Killed In 1966 Coup by Elusive001: 5:16pm On Feb 23, 2025 |
XerXers:He was born and raised in tribalism. Have you not noticed how a grave silence pervades the who country based on IBB's revelations? |
| Re: Who Imprisoned Awolowo In 1962 Vs Those Killed In 1966 Coup by LegendHero(m): 5:17pm On Feb 23, 2025 |
XerXers:An election will be conducted. Then Awo will just stroll into office as president because the Northerners wey dem mud their entire leadership go dey look like mumu? Awo campaign go be like, I am Awolowo, na me send my Ibo soldiers wey be my slave go mud Saraduana and Balewa. I want to be your president, vote for me. Then they will say nagode. I don’t know who is more fuulish. Ojuku who sacrificed 3 million of his people or his brethren yarning nonsense in 2025. |

PHIPEX:Awolowo was the sponsor of the coup led by Nzeogwu. It was a Yoruba coup. |
| Re: Who Imprisoned Awolowo In 1962 Vs Those Killed In 1966 Coup by Elusive001: 5:18pm On Feb 23, 2025 |
iamnotillicit:Why was Awolowo jailed for planning a coup? Why were they who jailed him killed during the coup? So you know better than IBB? How did you get your own information? |
| Re: Who Imprisoned Awolowo In 1962 Vs Those Killed In 1966 Coup by XerXers: 5:19pm On Feb 23, 2025 |
PHIPEX:Exactly. His first coup attempt was in 1963 which landed him in jail. |
| Re: Who Imprisoned Awolowo In 1962 Vs Those Killed In 1966 Coup by YoruBads: 5:19pm On Feb 23, 2025 |
LegendHero:It was Awolowo and his brethren who are yarning out of Kolos |
| Re: Who Imprisoned Awolowo In 1962 Vs Those Killed In 1966 Coup by LegendHero(m): 5:20pm On Feb 23, 2025 |
YoruBads:Awolowo also sponsored the massacre of over 50k Ibos in the North. I heard it was a plan between him and Ojuku to depopulate SE because they have less land. Is it true Shinedu? |
| Re: Who Imprisoned Awolowo In 1962 Vs Those Killed In 1966 Coup by Elusive001: 5:21pm On Feb 23, 2025 |
LegendHero:Bros it was written that the coup was to make Awolowo the president. He was jailed on coup related matters. Those who jailed him were killed by his army boys. No wonder una Lagos-Ibadan press quickly termed it Igbo coup. Thank GOD for keeping IBB alive |
| Re: Who Imprisoned Awolowo In 1962 Vs Those Killed In 1966 Coup by LegendHero(m): 5:21pm On Feb 23, 2025 |
YoruBads:Where did Ojuku bury the civil war victims? Awolowo grandson want to pay his last respect. |
| Re: Who Imprisoned Awolowo In 1962 Vs Those Killed In 1966 Coup by Elusive001: 5:21pm On Feb 23, 2025 |
LegendHero:Bros, the coup was to install Awolowo as the president. Chai!!!! |
| Re: Who Imprisoned Awolowo In 1962 Vs Those Killed In 1966 Coup by XerXers: 5:22pm On Feb 23, 2025 |
LegendHero:Bros argue logically. I don't know how to respond to this thrash. Maybe you should talk about his first coup attempt in1963. |
| Re: Who Imprisoned Awolowo In 1962 Vs Those Killed In 1966 Coup by YoruBads: 5:22pm On Feb 23, 2025 |
XerXers:The rat poison was very potent |
| Re: Who Imprisoned Awolowo In 1962 Vs Those Killed In 1966 Coup by LegendHero(m): 5:22pm On Feb 23, 2025 |
Elusive001:I am not your bro. Even IBB himself confirmed it is an Ibo coup.
