Why Do Igbos Deny The Jan 15th 1966 Coup? by danvon(op): 4:08pm On Feb 24, 2025

It makes no sense to me, if I was Igbo I would be proud of it especially seeing that lots of innocent Igbos were killed because of it.

It's like if someone accuses you of stealing then punishes you very severely, what is the point of saying you didn't steal? You might as well take pride in the fact that you were courageous enough to steal (stealing takes audacity), you could also take pride in the fact that you did the community a big favour by being used as a deterrence to other thieves.

Igbos should embrace the coup and celebrate it, instead of historical revisionism. All this constant back and forth denials is very degrading and insulting to Igbos.

They just want to blame Yorubas for their mess. It is part of their inability to take responsibility for anything. That is why they cry of marginalization when no one is marginalizing them. It is just who they are.

Why isn't Murtala Mohammeds coup a 'Hausa Coup'?

Why isn't Buhari's coup a 'Fulani coup'?

Why isn't Babangida's coup a 'Gwari coup'?

Why isn't Dimkas coup a 'Middle-belt coup'?

Why isn't Abacha's coup a 'Kanuri coup'?

Why is that out of several coups that occured in Nigeria, only January 15 1966 coup has ethnic tag? They like to call it 'Igbo coup'. That's is ethnic bigotry

The only time they remember that coup is bad, and should have ethnic tag, is January 15th 1966

It's because they thrive on deceit and falsehood.. can you really blame them if not Yorubas that have failed to set clear boundaries for them.

See how an Abia indigene Kanu went on radio biafra to order his Ipob followers to destroy Lagos, attack Tinubu and burn down Yoruba properties.. which they actually did under guise of EndSars protest, they made attempt to repeat the attack using EndBadGovernance but failed.
Believe you me, had it been Kanu directed his attacks to either Kano or Kaduna or even Katsina, the North would have killed him long before now, even kill all their elites in Igboland.. Notice how they avoided Abuja that is Federal Capital to be planning attacks on Lagos.

Sorry to say but the Yoruba youths of today are dense, very dense. There are some things you don't overlook or treat with kids gloves.

SO IF ONLY ONE IGBO PERSON LEAD A COUP IT BECOMES AN IGBO COUP.
DID IGBOS CONVERGE TO SEND NZEOGWU ON THEIR BEHALF?
YOU YORUBAS ARE EVIL AND MUST SUFFER 10TIMES THE IGBOS SUFFERED BECAUSE OF YOUR LIES AND PROPAGANDA IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME.

From the look of things you are not ok upstairs. The reasons you gave here why Igbos should accept what they did not do, is even very poor that's why I said you are not ok.

If you have any iota of wisdom, you'd know that a military coup cannot be an Igbo coup.

Do you know what it means to say its an Igbo coup? The elected representatives of Igbos must have carried out the coup because they have mandate.

Question is who elected Nzeogwu? Use your head bro
