Release MNK from custody Igbos have always been brave and that's why their SW neighbors are usually jittery at the mention of the name |

Why we struck saud it all many years ago that it was a Nigeria army coup not an Igbo coup; yet Nigeria's political establishment has visited nearly six decades of discrimination against the Igbo. |

Memphis357:Nnamdi Kalu has been pointing out obstacles to growth for Yoruba and Igbo in Nigeria, But tribal bigotry has made Presidrnt Tinubu and his people continue with detention of Kalu. If Buhari is still president, Nnamdi Kalu would have been freed. Tinubu believes he is punishing the Igbos through detention of Kalu. |

dododawa1:Even if Awolowo woke up from his grave and told you he sponsored the coup, you will not believe it because it's not what you "want" to hear. I suggest most of you go back to history classes taught by a neutral person. The amount of fake history you have consumed is irredeemable. |

@Sirheny007, you know it's a black man problem- we don't read. Those saying it wasn't an Igbo coup, how many accounts on the coup have they put together, even if it's piecemeal by piecemeal? In a multi ethnolinguistic set up as Nigeria, every act that tilt towards tribalism, favouritsm or selective justice is viewed with suspicion. The slaughtering of northerners and Yorubas cannot be explained away. These people were killed whilst the Igbos were spared, or in some cases, were asked to flee the country. Six months later, the brutal reprisal was justified because the Head of State refused to bring the malefactors of the coup to justice. Ojukwu's argument for declaring war in 1967 was that the north had killed a lot of Igbos in a counter coup six months later. If January 15 1966 coup wasn't an Igbo coup, why the reprisal attack on officers of Igbo extraction six months later, given it had never happened like that before? What the north did was to give them the north of Fulani treatment. What followed- still follows- is wolf cry of victim hood. The civil war exposed a lot of things about the fragmentation of the Nigerian state. One, it showed that lumping the ethnic nations into one format or contraption would not work. Two, it exposed the ego, expansionist tendencies of the Igbos- for Ojukwu faced Lagos when he declared war instead of him to head towards Biafra. The coup was an Igbo coup, but it waa unnecessary. |

Igbos already know that, and need to stay silent on this Matter in Nigeria, but loud it internationally. Most Igbos know that this was an anti islamics expansion coup, led by the Igbos. As much as it was an anti islamics expansion coup, it was also an anti disruptive coup, caused by those that the coup plotters targeted. The coup failed because the islamics sw, which are the majority in the sw, were against the anti islamics agenda. If this was an Igbo coup or igbo takeover, why didn't the igbo top brass at the time, systematically remove all the hinderance from the security forces, and maybe say, we want to do a mega security forces training in one igbo area, then, take all the national weapons there, after the 1st or 2nd day, systematically arrest the other people, and declare Igbo nation. Also, work with uk and others to ensure they get oil, gas, and other resources, for weapons exchange. That would have been an igbo takeover. Anyways, igbos just needs to play listening ears for now, and talk less |

January 1966 Coup. First off, the reason why that coup of January 15, 1966 has been called an "Igbo Coup" right from the 1960s is simply because those irresponsible young men in their 20s who opened direct gun fire and brutally killed Sir Ahmadu Bello, Sir Tafawa Balewa, Aare Ona Kakanfo Ladoke Akintola, Chief Okotie-Eboh and several other Northern and Western senior military and civilian officials Without killing ANY Igbo leader were Igbo-speaking military junior officers! As of 1965, Emmanuel Ifeajuna, Timothy Onwuatuegwu, Chris Anuforo, Don Okafor, Humphrey Chukwuka and Adewale Ademoyega were already preparing for the coup which was led by Emmanuel Ifeajuna. The RECAP of the other core plotters includes: 1. Kaduna Nzeogwu 2. Don Okafor 3. Timothy Onwutuegwu 4. Chris Anuforo 5. Adewale Ademoyega 6. Humphrey Chukwuka 7. Nwaobosi 8. Ben Gbulie 9. Orji. The others guys were simply junior officers from other non-Igbo ethnic groups who took orders from their seniors without knowing what the event was all about. Second, in an interview which Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu (who is from Okpanam, near Asaba in Delta State) granted in 1966, he accused the other coup plotters who were majorly Igbos East of River Niger of TRIBALISM because the ORIGINAL plan of the coup plotters was to eliminate some of the political leaders in all the regions of Nigeria but the Igbo officers allegedly tipped Michael Okpara off and he escaped. Nnamdi Azikiwe himself NO doubt knew about the coup plot because he failed to return from his supposed medical trip abroad despite the fact that a Commonwealth Heads of State Summit was taking place on Lagos Island and it was totally strange that Azikiwe failed to arrive from abroad despite the fact that his aides had returned to Nigeria. Ifeajuna who was the leader of that coup is a direct relative of Azikiwe. Azikiwe political party's Alliance with the Northern Nigeria party (NPC) had been floundering or experiencing problems so, it wasn't surprising that a plot was going on underground in form of a coup. Third, General John Atom Kpera (rtd) was a junior officer of the rank of 2nd Lieutenant from today's Benue State who was INNOCENTLY dragged alongside others into the senseless January 1966 coup plot BUT he and other non-Igbo officers didn't know it was a deadly coup that was ongoing. Majority of the officers in his Squadron were Igbos. He later got to know later that he was illegally used in a coup and this is why he rose to the rank of a Nigerian Army General because the Army was satisfied that indeed he didn't know but only innocently joined the coup plotters thinking it was a normal military routine they were going for. He granted an interview on this issue in the media as well. BELOW is the EXCERPT of the 2017 interview publication about the Nigerian Civil War veteran General John Atom Kpera. He is still alive in Benue State. "Role I Played in 1966 Coup – General Atom Kpera" Published on December 31, 2017 By John Owen Nwachukwu “That is why I said I participated in it blindfolded. I wasn’t the ONLY one; ALL our officers, probably ONLY the Igbo officers knew that it was a coup. In that squadron, we were four that were non-Igbo, every other person was an officer of Igbo extraction. That was how it went.” =>https://dailypost.ng/2017/12/31/role-played-1966-coup-general-atom-kpera/ |

Ojukwu wanted command to be handed to Brigadier Babafemi Olatunde Ogundipe as he was next in command not Gowon, but Brigadier fled instead of assuming command. Typical of them always chickening out at last minute. Well the rest is history. |
