The logistics of the January 1966 coup is as follows:

Ifeajuna led the Lagos faction that went to Tafawa Balewa’s residence…. He is Igbo

Nzeogwu led the Northern faction in Kaduna…. He is Igbo

Nwobosi led the faction that went to Ibadan and killed Aare Akintola…. He is Igbo

Timothy Onwatwegu led the faction that went to Ademulegun’s house and killed him and his pregnant wife. He is Igbo.

Timothy Onwatwegu led the faction that went to Ralph Sodeinde’s house in Kaduna…. He is Igbo.

Ezedigbo led the faction that went to Okotie- Eboh’s house…. He is Igbo

Chris Anuforo led the faction that went to Col Kur Mohammed’s house…. He is Igbo

Donatus Okafor led the faction that went to Maimalari’s house. He is Igbo.

Lt Oguchi was sent to the East to kill Okpara…. He spared his life…. He was Igbo.

Everyone who died in the January 1966 coup was killed by Igbos. Nobody from another tribe pulled a trigger that killed anyone in the January 1966 coup.

To imagine that the January 1966 coup was not an Igbo agenda is an insult on the memory of the innocent victims that were brutally killed for no just cause.

Stop the Gaslighting ! THE NORTH PLANNED A COUNTER COUP IN JULY 66 AS A REVENGE AFTER THEY REALISED IT WAS AN IGBO AGENDA

THE NORTH COUP WAS WIDELY KNOWN AS “ NORTHERN COUP “ why ? Because most of the soldiers that carried out the coup were of Northern origin . We dont see them crying about it . They own it !!

Stop the victim crying already and stop disrespecting Dead because you are too weak to take responsibility for your actions ..

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'. Thats bigotry

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

The Igbo think they can cling to the IBB revisionism to exonerate themselves from the atrocities of that coup. Alas, they have forgotten that IBB was not the only player to ñspeak about the coup. Others have done that multiple times that the coup was planned and executed by the Igbo military officers. And all the facts support this perspective, not those unbrilliant lies by IBB who has been battling to exonerate himself from all the evil he perpetuated in the land before he could meet his God.

The first two coup were obviously tribal.
All coup after that was just power hungry military officers
