Arthur Unegbe wasn't slated for elimination.
He was - to borrow the teminolgy of the average igbo - a 'sabo'. He stood in the way of the coupists when he blatantly refused to hand over the keys to the armoury.

professorPABX:
You are just talking nonsense online. I was advised to ignore you and your brothers that was why I restricted myself.

Joe Garba and some officers at the front line are late now but we still have TY Danjuma one of the main man at front line and chief actor in the counter coup. Gowon came back from abroad few days to the coup and was in Lagos.

On several sidelines Gowon and TY Danjuma have given some accounts. We have the privilege of hearing from some key actors when they were alive and some that are still alive. You don't know anything about military operations and coups.

General TY Danjuma told Aguiyi Ironsi wife few years ago he had no regret for the counter coup. His report is the best report on what happened in both coups. You allowed the key people in your tribe to escape and executed the key people occupying sensitive position in other tribes.


I can bet with anything till date, if you plan to kill an Hausa big trader in computer village, a Yoruba big trader in Computer Village and an IBO big trader in Computer Village on Sunday midnight against Monday morning, before this evening, the IBO big trader would have escaped while the Hausa and the Yoruba would have been eliminated. That is the state till today. You wanted to eliminate others and keep your brothers. Nothing has changed. There was coup earlier in Ghana it was purely military operations.

I will not answer you again as earlier advised.

OkCornel:
But you asked for an example where an Igbo man died for others…. So🤷

richie240:
And in what way his refusal to hand over the keys to the armoury stated as his love for others??

Try taking a rifle from a soldier for size and see the outcome.

StUriah:
See how very stupid you are for not ignoring my comments.

If I am born in the early 70s you think i shouldn't be your Papa's senior by now?

Between 1966 and 1972 what's is he difference. Indomie that became your household name wasn't existing then.

Yam legger!

He doesn't even have anything to do with the coup. In an operation there are objectives. In the process of executing an operation there may be casualties on both sides, they are just casualties. In this case, it was even a fabrication. The other fool was asking me to mention one successful coup in Nigeria without taking over of the Armoury. Which of the Armoury? That shows how shallow they are. Another fool asked me if I should accept the reports of TY Danjuma and Gowon and some late officers at the Frontline I should also accept the report of IBB. My question is how old was IBB? Was he at the Frontline? What was his appointment at that time?

yarimo:
Just show me or keep quiet

Softmirror:
His comment when IBB announced Asaba as Capital only tells you that he is not someone that is bias. IBB'S choice of Asaba was to please his wife who is from Asaba.

Warri deserved to be made the capital. There is still anger about that till this day because IBB was unfair.

IBB has always been a controversial human being who loves creating chaos.

Softmirror:
There are contrary views to Ademoyega's book example is late Maj. Gen David Ejoor. Do you know who he is and the position he occupied?!

Are you still bleating here?

Just mention one successful coup in Nigeria that happened without the coupists securing and controlling the armoury.

A professor in idiocy is entertaining us here 🥱

Ethnic Bigots Are Upset That IBB Debunked The Igbo Coup Narrative - Rufai Oseni

Tribal bigots have gone bunkers since IBB launched his book. Nigerians from all over the country are eventually speaking out after years of seeing through the agenda of these bigots who are only driven by envy and hate

Hehehehe..... u need not kill a million people. The moment you capture/kill their king, it's game over. You kill the leaders of other regions while yours weren't harmed in any way yet you expect an applause from those affected because you didn't kill "hundreds of their leaders" okwea?? Clap 4 yasef


Sorry brah, there's no other way a sane human will look at it apart from the 'tribal' angle in as much as those who perpetrated the heinous act weren't affected.



Thanks for saying 'official'. We are much more interested in the 'unofficial' reasons why no igbo leader was killed yet there was a 100% success rate in other regions.



Hehehehehe ...why wasn't Sadauna of sokoto 'arrested' but killed??
**why wasn't Sadauna of sokoto's
PREGNANT WIFE arrested but killed??
**Why wasn't okotie ebor arrested but killed
**Why wasn't tafawa balewa arrested but killed??
**How come the coupists were made up of over 90% igbós yet the coup recorded 0% success rate in alaigbo but recorded 100% success rate in other regions??


When was the last time the perennially clannish average igboman died for others?? The only thing that saved awo from the coupists' bullets was bcus he was behind bars or else his sorry ass would've been fried along with his non-igbo counterparts.

boxypane:
You're correct in one way, but the fact that majority have not actually moved on from the incidence of that coup is causing lots of disunity. And that's why the issue of marginalization will forever remain a topic. Because of the actions of one man!!!
And one thing is for a fact! The same Igbos are rebellious among themselves...

Ngozi123:
And Yorubas don't love themselves... So, what's your point?

Thomasankara:
[color=#770077][/color]for your information, Nigeria operated parliamentary system of government at that time, where we have head of state and head of government. Tafewa balewa was head of government,while Nnamdi was head of state

Lovelies1:
Laughable...the lies you choose to hold on to.

Awolowo was angry that he didn't get any position at the helm of affair kand choose to fight back .......

Tbh a head of state has the chance to be in office for long compare to the prime minister.. Nnamdi Azikiwe was a ceremonial head representing the British empire. And his position cannot be influenced by the prime minister or anyone... In sequence what will be his gain for someone who lobbied himself to that position to fight unnecessary fight.. his position was not a tenure term unlike the prime minister that has tenure. And most effective execution also needs his signature

drugBaronTINUBU:
Ademoyega is also speculative?

Image123:
Maintain focus, IBB said he was speculative

drugBaronTINUBU:
Was Ademoyega also speculative cos he equally said what IBB said.
I have read more than 5 different books on 1966 coup and they all said same thing.
I nor really understand why Yoruba like lies and propaganda
What do u guys gain from it

Image123:
IBB was speculative.

Thomasankara:
[color=#770077][/color]so what's the babe of your argument now, argue constructively for once. I just lectured you on parliamentary system of government. Now could you tell me,who gives assent to bill in Britain, is it the prime minister or the king?. On another note,do you mean Awolowo who was a dethroned regional leader was more of a threat to Azikiwe and mattered most in the scheme of events? I don't understand the angle you are coming from. Please enlighten me[color=#770077]

Lovelies1:
You said Nnamdi Azikiwe was not satisfied with the position of a head of state. And clarify his role clearly. Cause you said that Nnamdi Azikiwe was eyeing the role of a prime minister. That's why I clarified the role he had was much satisfactory for him than such. He even lobbied for that position..

Thomasankara:
[/color] No one cares about his satisfaction, all I said was that he couldn't do anything without consulting Tafewa balewa. He was a paper tiger[color=#770077]
