Nzeogwu was 29 so that statement of yours is not an excuse that at 25 he knew not.

Did you read what I wrote or you just saw age and decided to be a bebeto? What was Nzeogwu's rank?

casualobserver:
I am not ignoring anything. Whatever he said he has stated clearly

“I may be wrong here since this view is speculative. I admit here that my views may be the views of a naive officer who viewed things from a distance”-IBB

If you search my post history, you will see where even I gave my reasons why I don’t think it started as an Ibo coup. But these are just opinions. They are not fact!


Let me explain something to you. Whether it was an Ibo coup or not is irrelevant for most Nigerians today. The real problem Ibos have is their current actions not whether 1966 coup was an Ibo coup or civil war. All that na story! Nobody cares, I certainly don’t! The problem is not what happened in 1966 or 197-70, the problem is what happens today and has been happening since approx 2015. The insulting of tribes, the Biafra agitation is a bigger problem for Ibos today that whatever May have happened between 1966-1970 or not. I wasn’t around in 1966, the concept of Ibo coup was never in my consciousness till recently. I grew up a Nigerian. I couldn’t care less whether it was an Ibo coup or not. What I care about is the vitriol from the Ibos and IPOB since 2015. That is a bigger hinderance for the Ibos in Nigeria than whether or not 1966 was an Ibo coup or not.

I am merely stating on record that Nabangida never stated these things as a FACT. Again he was clearly at great pains to say he was wrong, he was speculating and he was far removed from the events.

Oga I have asked you again why are you dodging the last statement made by IBB that there was lots of rumors and conspiracy theories that led to the counter coup.
Why are you avoiding it?
Oga you are not that smart in pushing a false narrative.

Hmmm, here you go

Believeintruth:
If you want to lie, use your sense. Nigerian army barracks in the 60s everyone knew everyone, so saying Igbo wives were mocking northern wives is a blatant allegation, which was why IBB further stated that there was lots of rumors and conspiracy theories which led to the counter coup.

abbey621:

That's not the issue here. Col Sani Bello Ironsi's ADc was also a first lieutenant during the 66 coup and he gave brilliant account of what happened in Enugu during the coup.

Where is the tribalism in that statement.

If you know they knew each other, then why are you arguing with IBB who knew his colleagues?.. Ipob una no fit spin this one o 🤣🤣

It seems you just want to prolong your thread?

I have answered your question…read again…and again if you can’t find your answer and keep reading until you find it.

The point is Babangida gave an opinion not a fact and he was at pains in page 40 to say he may be wrong as he had no real insight.

BTW this is my post from Jan 15th.

casualobserver:
I actually believe the coup was not an Ibo coup as such. I sincerely beleive they were a bunch of overzealous immature, deluded misguided but sincere young men who saw themselves as patriots. The problem is that it failed and as a result of its failure, all we witnessed was the unintended effects.

I also believe there has always existed and still exist a band of Ibo expansionists whose views are represented by the Dady Onyeama declaration at the Ibo conference and unfortunately for the coup plotters, they are the ones who took over after the failed coup and started to act in an Ibo centric manner for instance by not trying their coup plotting kinsmen and enacting laws that suggested an Ibo supremacy/conquering agenda.

1: Whether by commission or by omission, the major actors in the coup were Ibos.
2: whether by commission of by omission the major causalities were non Ibos.
3: whether by commission or omission those who got away were the Ibos. Not only were Ibo politicians spared but the Ibo coup plotters were not tried.
4: if my brother kills your brother and I do not offer my apologies for or distance myself from his behavior then it is natural for you to conclude he had my approval.
5: the nature of some of the deaths/murders are unconscionable.
6: the fact that Ibos have never dissociated themselves from the coup but more importantly apologized and also carry on today like a people intent on conquering others only serves to perpetuate the idea that it was an Ibo coup.
7: I draw parallels with the Obidient movement, where you have probably sincere naive young non Ibos who genuinely think Obi will bring the change they desire but haven’t thought it through. IMHO if they succeed they will unleash probably the worst regime in Nigerias history because the real agenda of the Obidient movement will take ove but they will be blamed. The only difference between the Obidient movement and the coup plotters is 1) the coup plotters were in the army and controlled weapons and 2) the failure of the 1966 coup brought negative consequences while the failure of the Obidients is a blessing.

Like I said, with what I know now. I have 98% certainty it was not an Ibo coup. It was just a series of unfortunate coincidences by young revolutionaries and Yorubas at the time looked down on joining the army, so naturally there would be more Ibos involved.

It was not who staged the coup that continues to be the problem but the actions thereafter.

Your bolded too is justifying what I said that it is an assumption. Because you just jumped into conclusion

It's interesting how Yoruba lies has been exposed to the whole world, i always wonder why they tag that coup as Igbo coup, my advice to the Yorubas is to change their way because there's no gain in what they are doing, we all know it's to share power with the North

Hold on it is clear that it is an assumption. That's the fact here leave the bible quotes on Jesus wept.

Na WA o 🤣🤣😂😂, go to Minna and ask IBB to tell you their names na . Was he not the one that wrote the book?, not me na 😂😂. Go & meet him.

it turned out that..., how can this sentence be a rumor?, you attend English class so?, dem suppose flog you.

It turned out that the wives of Igbo officers, quite insensitively, had been taunting the wives of northern officers about what had occurred to officers of northern extraction.

Believeintruth:

An assumption is not a fact. The man states he is speculating and he may be wrong. He states he was not in the know so how can he know for sure?

Damn you are daft!

UHLmoving:
The Igbo deserves to be hugely compensated for the lies perpetuated against them for decades.

I find this so funny. They would have talk normally but why asking for money? Meaning Igbos and Money Na 5&6.

But where will IBB get the money because he was the one that Siad not Igbo coup. The questions are, How did IBB know? What was his rank then and how old was he. His seniors Gowon, OBJ, Buhari are alive and have never talked about it cos they know the truth. If not an Igbo coup then what was it going by the names of all the officers tried.

I think IBB is not qualify to say that since he was not the one that declared the coup.
Why do they killed all non Igbos leaders and spare Igbo leaders?

Asking for compensation of the war that was declared by Ojukwu himself is funny,

You guys Should know that other people are far ahead,. They just don't want to heat up the country.

very soon they will asked for compensation once Kanu is released.

This is where the Yorubas got it wrong

flokii:
You lots should be grateful to Awolowo and the kind hearted Yorubas that showed mercy on you rebels that followed Ojukwu into war..
I'm certain that left for the North, without Yorubas in the picture, Igbos would have been wiped out from the face of this earth. The hatred Northerners have for them no be here.

Awolowo as second in command took it upon himself to see that Igbos rose from the ashes of civil war.. instead of showing appreciation, they are busy peddling lies and falsehood of £20 all over the place.

so you don’t know igbos are ingrates ?

Believeintruth:
That's not the issue here. Col Sani Bello Ironsi's ADc was also a first lieutenant during the 66 coup and he gave brilliant account of what happened in Enugu during the coup.

Bello joined the army in 1962, you're only proving my point, he was a nobody at the time of the coup!

Here's an excerpt from his account:

I told you that I was a very junior officer, so I didn’t know what was happening. Then, by that time we were settling down to enjoy Benin, suddenly, we received a signal from our battalion from Enugu, ordering us to rush back. We abandoned everything in Benin to go back.

After about a month I was called back to Enugu where I stayed for few weeks before I was redeployed. I was then asked to go for interview to become the ADC to the supreme commander.

So clearly Bello was a NOBODY at the time of the coup!
