Who is this one that is putting on Europeans head warmer in the hot sun?

There's hardly any country in Africa that has not had multiple coups, it was the thing of back then, it still happens to this day. Nigeria had many coups.

On July 29th 1966, Lt Colonel Murtala led a group of officers from his part of the country to launch a coup that was far more bloody than that of January 15th, it affected Southerners, but touched no Northerner. Yet, not only does Murtala Mohammed's coup have no ethnic tag, Nigeria even honoured the man by putting him on the N20 note and naming Airports after him. All for being a murderous coup plotter and military dictator

Even though Buhari's coup affected mainly Southerners, his coup is never called Fulani coup. Buhari was later elected and re-elected President, just because he was once a successful coup plotter and military dictator.

Yet some people only remember that coup is bad, and should have ethnic tag, only when they hear January 15 1966 coup. The ethnic bigotry around January 15th coup has become both stale and laughable

See one-sided reasoning! So because other smaller Africa countries had bad-lucks or coup, so Igbos had to bring badluck/coup to giant of Africa, right? Igbos couldn't emulate or attract good development to Nigeria, only coup is what they thought in their evil imagination could befit Nigeria? Why didn't Botswana in Africa that we were colonized by same British and got independence after we got our own look at Nigeria as big brother to also brought coup to interrupt their own democracy since independence? Why must igbos sacrificed themselves to be a scapegoat that first interrupted our democracy? If first coup did not start, it will not serve as template for other coups that followed.

If Ojukwu did not start first Biafra, Nwasuruike, Kanu and Ekpa will not have had template to follow. That's is why they always give refrence and respect to ojukwu. Nwazuruike, kanu and ekpa thought what ojukwu did not achieve, the could achieve it in modern time. First always serve as a template, so all blame of first coup will still be on igbos for having only coup as the only thing they could copy and import from other Africa countries to Nigeria

Your country has been s failure ever since the British brought us together in their colonial project called Nigeria. All that has happened since then has been a pointer that Nigeria should have been dissolved long ago, and everyone go their way

They called it Igbo coup because the subsequent coup was staged against the perceived coupists tribe by the people who were mainly the victims' kinsmen.
Until this day they have been wary of the Igbos because of that great betrayal.






“Igbo in the North were widely taunting their hosts on the loss of their leaders. Celestine Ukwu, a popular Igbo musician, released songs titled Ewu Ne Ba Akwa (Goats Are Crying) and others celebrating “Igbo power”, the “January Victory.” Posters, stickers, postcards, cartoons displaying the murdered Sardauna begging Major Nzeogwu at the gates of heaven or Balewa burning outright in pits of hell or Nzeogwu standing St. George-like on Sardauna, the defeated dragon, began to show up across Northern towns and cities. These provocations were so pervasive that they warranted the promulgation of Decree 44 of 1966 banning them”. Even Dr. Nnamdi Azikwe noted these atrocities in his The Origins of the Civil War: “Some Ibo elements, who were domiciled in Northern Nigeria taunted northerners by defaming their leaders through means of records or songs or pictures. They also published pamphlets and postcards, which displayed a peculiar representation of certain northerners, living or dead, in a manner likely to provoke disaffection.” These images and songs eventually led to the so-called pogroms/ethnic-cleansing/genocide, not the coup”


There was a country...
- Chinue Achebe.

Yoruba and lies are 5 and 6,No wonder your Ancestor Oduduwa was sent out from hell for his criminality
Ewu na ebe akwa was By an Ijaw Musician called Lex Lawson and it was released in 1930,long before the Coup

Yoruba demons,I wouldn’t be suprised One day,your lying fathers will wake up and say “Living in bandage” (92/93) movie was made to insult Tinubu in 2025

Are you just noticing it? Lmao
IMO my state have never elected our governor since 1999 ... It's always one crisis or the other

You just can't put something decent together.

That's is why we are saying you people brought that failure to Nigeria through your selfishness. If the first coup plotters did not bring failure from other Africa countries to giant of Africa, we would have followed another greater part. Igbo first coup plotter changed our direction to that failure part they imported through their selfishness.

You have forgotten your history so soon that you forgot the first coup brought failure and unrest to Nigeria. If there was no first Igbo coup in 1966, there wouldn't have been counter from Gowon. The calamity of that first coup and ripple effect is what lead to Biafra war in the following year of 1967. So, it is clear to say igbos brought that failure they are complaining about today to Nigeria by themselves

Nigeria's first military coup occurred on January 15, 1966 led by a group of Igbo army officers, who overthrew the government of Prime Minister Abubakar Tafawa Balewa. The coup was followed by a counter-coup in July 1966, led by General Yakubu Gowon, who seized power and became the head of state. The tensions and violence that followed against Igbo people led to declaration of independence by Eastern Region which became Republic of Biafra, on May 30, 1967.

So, Nigerian government led by General Gowon, refused to recognize Biafra's independence which resulted in conflict that became Biafran War (1967-1970). So, of first Igbo coup did not happen, there wouldn't be counter about six months later, and it will not bring further division, failure and hatred that led to declaration of Biafra war. It is your greediness that brought this failure to Nigeria.just like if hamas had known that Oct 7 will ever bring regret and desolation of Gaza, hamas wouldn't have embarked on such attack.

Omoh this kalu should ho and eat eba first oo

Who tha fuuuvvk is this Kalu ?

You should do more research on Nigerian history, Nigeria did not start in 1966. Before then, there was the 1945 massacre of Igbos in Jos, another massacre of Igbos in 1953, martial law declared in the Western Region, opeation Wetie in 1963, the widespread election violence of 1964, the census crises of 1965. There was already fire on the mountain long before 1966

Today, the violence and killing are even worse with 4 out of 6 geopolitical zones in the grip of insecurity. Nigeria has never worked, and never will. The earlier we all agree to dissolve thus fail British colonial contraption and go our seperate ways, the better for all.

zero8zero:
Ipob clown . Authur Anegbe was a collateral damage, if his ibo brothers had carried him along in the plan, he would have gone to hand over the keys to Ifeajuna in his house by himself. Then again, if ibos planned the coup and another ibo man took over power, it says alot.
For Ademoyega, can you tell us the role he played on the day of the coup?

Go and read Ademoyega book he explained it there.

kaduna was born and brought up in the North and like when you guys wany to play tricks you say delta is not igbo, so kaduna nzeogwu is North and delta man not igbo.

Ifeanjuna was Awolowo 's boy, infact an awo disciple who took the job serious, and guess what all those who imprisoned awo were killed.

Ademoyega was higher in rank and age as the coup was organised.

So I ask again are you seeing the point alfa sule

I think that there is a deliberate attempt by some interested parties to ensure that the southeast are constant governed by those who will betray the region. They ensure that these people are declared winners.
