This is the most historical up-to-date Account of the Nigerian 1966 Coup and the forces and reasons behind the incursion of Biafra Troops into the MidWest en route to Lagos under the command of Col Victor Banjo,
It shows with very up-to-date facts and figures that -
1. The January 1966 Nigerian Coup was staged to release Chief Obafemi Awolowo from Prison and instal him the President of Nigeria.
2. ⁠Col Ademoyega, one of the FIVE MAJORS who masterminded the coup, confirms this in his book “Why We Struck”
3. ⁠The incursion of the Biafra Troops into the MidWest en route to Lagos, with code name THE LIBERATION ARMY led by Col Victor Banjo was Col Ojukwu’s Gentleman’s response to an Agreement between him and Chief Obafemi Awolowo while the later was in Enugu immediately after Ojukwu released him from prison. The project was for Ojukwu to send Biafra troops to Lagos to join the Yoruba troops to flush out the Northern Soldiers from Lagos in keeping with the Aburi Agreement that Soldiers should return to their Regions of origin, In keeping with that Aburi Agreement Soldiers from the East had left the Northern and Western Regions and the soldiers from the Western and Midwestern Regions had left the East and the North. But Northern soldiers refused to leave the West and Lagos. So Awolowo had requested Ojukwu to send troops under Col Banjo’s command to join Western soldiers to flush out Northern soldiers from Lagos and the West. That command had to be under the command of a Yoruba Soldier Col Banjo as a Confidence measure.
4. ⁠When the Liberatiin Army effortlessly passed through Benin, Banjo had to send Wole Soyinka to meet the Yoruba soldiers and alert them of the advance of the LIBERATION ARMY.
5. ⁠Soyinka got to Lagos and briefed Col Obasanjo. Obasanjo alerted Col Gowon, who in turn alerted their British Guardians,
6. ⁠The later arranged a negotiation meeting involving Gowon and Awolowo.
7. ⁠A Truce was arranged between Gowon, Awolowo and all the leading soldiers.
8. ⁠Awolowo was offered Vice-Chairman of the Ruling Military Council and assured that within a few years Gowon would hand power to him as the Head of State of Nigeria,
9. ⁠ With this agreement, Chief Awolowo sent message to Col Victor Banjo whose troops had reached ORE with the message DONT PROCEED FURTHER. IF YOU DO YOU WILL BE TREATED AS A MAN ON A CONQUEST MISSION, NO LONGER AS A LIBERATOR!
10. ⁠Victor Banjos troops that had reached ORE got morally vanquished and scattered In disarray.
THE REST IS HISTORY!!

The Nigeria’s January 1966 Coup and Biafra: Myths and Realities.

I’m very sure prof nzodima got his professorship from agulu university! The first nonsense on your list rubbished the whole write up! No point going through your ipob account of the coup! Zik wickedness and ironsi naieveness caused the Hausa’s to delete the ibos! As simple as abc,any other theory is an ipob gibberish, concocted to fool themselves.

I think that this account is confusing the January 1966 coup with the Nigerian civil war 1967-1970. The January 15 coup led to a counter-coup in July. This then led to the war.

Must you manifest your petty tribal mindset on every topic? Chai!

The Nigeria’s January 1966 Coup and Biafra: Myths and Realities.

This appears to be the whole truth

The worst set of homo sapiens to deal with are those that do evil, yet collectively whine themselves never to accept responsibility but instead wickedly search for every crooked way to justify their treacherous actions.

RIP Sir Ahmadu Bello + his pregnant wife!
RIp Sir ladoke Akintola
RIP SIR Tafawa Balewa
Rip Sir Okotie Ebor

Macbeth doth murdered sleep!

The truth is that January 15, 1966 coup was a planned Igbo coup masterminded by Nnamdi Azikiwe, Orizu, Aguiyi Ironsi et al..
Their motive was to kill all other regional leaders and abolish the regional system of Government.

The July 1966 Northern counter-coup crippled the Igbo plan to dominate Nigeria.. the Northerners slaughtered both soldiers and civilians of Igbo extraction to avenge death of Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa.
The Northern counater coup brought Yakubu Gowon to power (at barely 31yrs old), same coup freed Awolowo from prison and made him number 2 man in Nigeria.

In order to correct the wrongs of the Igbos.. Awolowo advised Gowon on additional States creation and recognition of the Eastern minorities which Igbos never believed could happen.
Alas their January coup failed, the Eastern minorities escaped Igbo slavery and now have their South South region today. Is God not wonderful?.
