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'

Has any sane human being ever argued with una that every coup the Northerners have commited (since you people showed them the way) has been for their own personal gain?

Even they themselves will not lie to you about it. It's only you people that keep trying to reinvent history

They are misinterpreting IBB statement. He was only giving opinion of others in the text they are sharing.

IBB will not be the one to tell people what it is. If a coup murderer all other regional leaders and leave your own intact, then it is an Ibo coup.

The main agenda of the coup is to make an Ibo man president. Azikiwe and Ironsi were spared, so how the F will Awo who was in prison and just an ordinary Nigeria will suddenly assume power as the beneficiary of an Ibo coup.

Well, that's an angle
It could be that the coup plotters were looking to hand over power to Azikiwe since he'll be the most senior member of the ruling coalition left after Sardauna and Tafawa had been killed
But the bottom line is that we'll never know since the coup failed

This picture is fake. There was no printer in that era that could print such.

The text, the picture, the font. None of those were doable on a computer of the 60s. Haba.

You don’t know what you are saying. This is New York Times print in 1960 showing pictures.

Infact as far back as the 40s they have same print.

What you uploaded is fake picture. That looked like something that was done using MS Paint. There was nothing like Microsoft until 1975.

The font used to type those names looks like calibri. That font was introduced in 2007.

Look at the newspaper you uploaded, compare the font to that of the text in the picture of the bread.

Don’t sit over there abroad and post propaganda and lies in Nigeria media space.

Calm down. It’s from a book and the word you see on it is the description to tell the readers what each sign meant.

The image itself is the main thing and it was what they shared to humiliate the Northerners. Even Babangida mentioned in his book that Ibo women were taunting Northern women that they mud them and there is nothing they can do.

As we settled down to our drinks, we were confronted by passers-by who recognised us. They rained abuses on us, calling us 'big fools and cowards' for not doing what they thought we should do. Articles in newspaper pages were replete with scorn for us northern officers.

Stories made the rounds that even the wives of married officers fought their husbands, calling them cowards and threatening to withhold conjugal benefits from them!

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.

This is the problem of the Igbo people. A lot of the problem they face in Nigeria today was their own making. Pride and lack of tactfulness. Igbo people are only tactful when it comes to gradually trying to subsume the language of their minority neighbours. Other than that, their pride will not let them keep mute and strategize. They'll antagonize you after each win and make others apprehensive and try to contain them

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.

So who was in charge of the Calabar prison in the Eastern region, and why didn't Ademoyega and co. drag out Awolowo in Calabar prison and kill him?

This is a moronic statement ! Were any prisoners dragged out from the prison during the Ibo coup ?? So why should they single awolowo out and drag him from prison? Are you saying muritala and gowon that led the soldiers that erased the ibos were foolish like the ibos not to investigate his complicities in the war and yet made him a prominent member of the new government ?? You idiots are just trying to revise the impossible ! Regardless of how much you tried ,it won’t even make sense to anybody with a thinking head.

That was why he planned the coup. He didn't like being in jail. He wanted to take over the leadership of Nigeria rather than sitting in jail.

I hope this makes sense now

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.
