Very sound argument from a reasonable human being.


You made very valid points and yes you are very correct with your points.


I understand it was convenient for them to tag it an Igbo coup considering the points you raised, but then, the counter coup which was bloodier and led to heavy Igbo casualties in the military was more than enough revenge for them to stop. Extending their revenge madness to Igbo civilians living amongst them peacefully before the first coup has no human justification. It was purely done out of decades of hatred, envy and suspicion of the Igbos being the most successful tribe occupying key positions and thriving in all regions as at then.


It was not about the purported Igbo coup or the claim that some civilian Igbos mocked some Hausa-Fulanis for the death of Ahmadu Bello, it was all lies fabricated to support and justify their inhumane act against Igbo civilians.


Mind you, before the January 1966 coup by Nzeogwu and co, there was a massacre of Igbos in the North by Northern Moslem fanatics around 1955 or so, why didn't the Igbo coupists use the opportunity of the January 1966 coup in which top Northern leaders and military were killed to extend their revenge for the Igbo massacre of the 1950s to killing civilian Northerners with the excuse that Northerners first killed Igbos?



You cannot deny the fact that Northern Moslems have always been thirsty for innocent peoples blood right from the 1950s, all thanks to Uthman Dan Fodio's violent way of trying to expand Islam at all cost in Nigeria and the Sahel.


Let me tell you the hidden truth, the hatred for Igbos by Northern Moslems is all about religion; Islam. They only hid it behind politics to deceive, convince and incite the rest of the North and Yorubas against Igbos.


In Nigeria, Old Eastern Nigeria dominated by the Igbos then was the only region and tribe that vehemently rejected Islam. Back then, you can hardly find one Igbo Moslem. Igbos vehemently rejected everything Islam and became an impediment to Uthman Dan Fodio's radicals spreading Islam beyond North, so they saw Igbos as a stumbling block that should be removed completely but the rest of Nigerian Christians are ignorant of this reality but will always align ignorantly with the radical Northern Moslems to fight Igbos thinking it's all about politics and stopping Igbos from dominating, dominate who and how?


How have Hausa-Fulanis dominating Nigeria helped Nigeria if it's all about who dominates who?



Though Middlebelt Christians later realized their mistakes around the late 1980s to 90s, but the deeds have been done by then, when their sons in military realized that they were being used by Hausa-Fulani Moslems to push for their dangerous Islamic Jihad war in Nigeria and waging war against Igbos whom they saw as the pillar of Christianity in Nigeria. This was what pushed Major Gideon Okar to carry out his coup which was more of a radical revolution, go and listen to his speech to understand my point.


Gideon Okar's coup was another missed opportunity to savage what was left of the dying Nigeria then, that coup would have reset Nigeria honestly.



So if you observe the pattern of events till today, you will realize that Northern Nigeria have always disliked Igbos and took Igbo matter differently and always interpreted Igbo matter with a harder stand all because of religion; they see Igbos as the pillar of Christianity in Nigeria and the main stumbling block to the expansion of Islam down Southern Nigeria. That is why they always act dangerously against Igbos at any slightest national political disagreement, you saw it under Buhari too, the same scenario has been repeating before and even after the January 1966 coup and civil war.



But it's fine, it's the price Igbos have to pay for standing up for Christianity and saying no to radical Islam expansion in Nigeria, unfortunately the rest of Nigerian Christians think it's an Igbo peoples war (especially Yoruba Christians), maybe by the time they will realize their mistake, it will be too late, maybe.

Your defense line here revolves around the argument that the coup was directly or indirectly in revenge for the pre-independence massacre of Igbos in the Northern Region. This argument is fundamentally flawed for two main reasons:
1. If the coup was in revenge against Northerners for hating and killing Igbos pre-independence because Igbos embraced Christianity, then why did the Igbo revenge through the January 1966 coup take the lives of Southerners like Akintola, Okotie Eboh, etc who were even Christians too? So because Northern Muslims killed you for being Christians, rather than kill Northerners in retaliation, you decided to kill fellow Southern Christians? Please help me make sense of this.

2. If the coup was an attempt by the Igbos to retaliate for being killed by the Northerners, then you have implicitly agreed that it was an Igbo coup.
