Though the British made it seem like ethnic coup, all Nigerians initially supported the January 1966 coup.


Though the Gideon Orkar announced coup failed, it also had all the features of a revolution.

What these two coups had in common is that they deviated from the normal soldier of fortune leaning.

Why did the two revolutionary coups fail?
Would the country have been better if they succeeded?

Have you noticed that the core leaders of these two coups are from the Niger Delta of so-called South South? Is there a message Nigeria has missed?[right][/right]

Igbo coup to make Awololo prime minister ba?

There is nothing like that
Only Ibos believe that fairy tale
If Awolowo was not I prison he would have been killed

Nnamdi Azikiwe knew about it and that is why he was outside the country

Babangida must be Igbo too. And Ademoyega is Igbo name too.

It's quite unfortunate that you guys keep propagating this false narrative that Nzeguwe was one of the leaders of the Jan 15th coup when the Police Special Branch report states that Nzeguew was the last to be recruited followed by Ademoyega.

The duo were recruited in or around October meanwhile, Majors Ifeajunna, Okafor and Capt. Oji started the coup plot in August.

How then can Nzeogwu be one of the leaders of a coup plot that was already ongoing, months before he was recruited?

only igbos believe a coup carried out by mainly igbo officers that didn't kill any igbo military or political leaders is meant to make a Yoruba man president. Even Awo doesn't

How it makes sense to y'all need to be studied

Are you sure no Igbo was killed? Igbo coup foiled by Igbo officers ba? Who lied?

A coup organized and executed majorly by ibó officers which kpaid both military and political leaders of other regions apart from theirs was done because of the same ppl they kpaid??

Hmmmmm.......


But let's come to think of it o, if the tables were turned, and Yoruba/hausa officers kpaid only ibó military and political office holders but spared theirs, would it have made sense to say it wasn't a Yoruba/hausa coup because they wanted to give power to ibós - the same ppl who bore the brunt of the coup?

Juss asking!

The 15th January, 1966 coup was led by Emmanuel Ifeajuna who was from present day Anambra State in south east Nigeria. Kaduna Nzeogwu was not the leader of the coup.

Can you equate the igbo officer killed to Azikwe or Okpara or Ironsi
I repeat again No single igbo Political or military leader was killed.
Ironsi that supposedly stopped the coup was a part of it, why didn't he kill the coup plotters like the leaders of other regions demanded?

Azikwe , Ironsi and other igbo leaders got tipped off by their boys

If you're from here, you need no answer but if you're not the answer is simple: Azikiwe and Okpara were not the problem of Nigeria of that era that was why they were not marked to be killed.


Balewa, Sardauna and Akintola were overdoing themselves exactly the way Nigerian politicians are mostly doing today.

Balewa government were practically wiping out young men from Tiv land exactly the same way Fulani militia is doing today. The only difference is that he used soldiers. Zik had no power but was a figure head


Akintola was practically wiping out opponents in Yorubaland with active connivance of Balewa and it was a coup that practically saved Yoruba people. But then some people can never tell truth.

Okotie Ebohs love for aplomb practically attracted disdain from the coup plotters.


Let me ask you a question today if there is a coup, do you think if politicians are targets that Peter Obi or Alex Otti would be eliminated? The military know pro masses politicians and anti masses ones.

Zik, Awololo and especially Aminu Kano were the Peter Obi of that era who were loved by their regions.

Even Yoruba and northerners celebrated the coup when they heard Balewa, Sardauna and Akintola were eliminated. Things only changed when the British Home Office intervened by calling a meeting with northern students in England and turning them against the coup already celebrated by all Nigerians as timely

Your argument made no sense.

Ozumba mbadiwe was the most corrupt minister in the 1st Republican, more corrupt than all other put together.

Yet was spared because he shared same ethnicity with the plotters.

And stop trying to whitewash obi, he is no different from any corrupt Nigeria politician.

Someone saved state funds in a bank of interest what do you called that.

The 1966 coup wasn't a fail. It actually went as planned. It was coup with 2 prongs. It was designed such that if one prong failed, the other prong must succeed. It's just that Nigerians allowed to themselves to be swarmed with misinformation, disinformation and outright lies by a section of the country who desperately needed to cover up and appear as victims. The coup wasn't a fail for the following glaring reasons:

1. No Ibo politician or relevant senior military leaders got killed. Zik was conveniently on vacation. The leadership of the Nigeria State then was teeming with Ibos. Non of them got taken out.

2. Today we have the presidency as number 1 seat. The vice presidency as number 2 seat. The senate presidency as number 3 seat, and so on like that. That is the architecture. There were other civilians in the architecture of the seats of power in the government of 1966 that power could have been handed to. But no. Irons had to grab it.

3. The Ibos joyously took ownership of the coup, taunting everyone, especially in the North. The brandished machetes and Dane guns in other people' so lands, daring them and declaring to them that the country now belongs to them. This continues for months before the Abokis struck.

4. The Ironsi junta immediately proceeded to do exactly what Zik and his ibo political group had been planning on which is the unification of Nigeria power structure and the complete dominance of everywhere by Ibos.

5. The coup plotters were never tried and condemned but kept in a nice cozy place with their salaries still intact.

6. Today, these inglorious liars boldly tell us that it was an Awolowo coup because the coup plotters wanted to make Awolowo the president. This innocent man was languishing in a federal maximum prison back then. Ironsi never deemed it fit to release him until until months later when Gowon did.

In all, Ibos were the only beneficiary of the coup. Thank you.

So the politicians of other regions were corrupt but only the Ibos weren't. It's OK. Keep it up.

Look at this report by the British I attached. They even mentioned the Igbo high moral value in contrast with you... It is a known fact that any form of decadence you see in Igbo society today is as a result of Nigeria's influence, especially the civil war.

No one calls out corrupt Igbo politicians like Igbos. You know them: Orji Uzor Kalu, Rochas, and the likes of TA Orji and Ikpeazu. Despite the disdain Igbos have for them, are they not the ones you people love?

In fact, in your region, crooked politicians and traditional rulers are celebrated. Is it not why the best you have is Tinubu?

Fact is, coup plotters know corrupt and disposed politicians and usually show them no mercy. You may choose to whitewash it.
Are we not happy the latest coup failed? What do you think would have happened and how would it differ from the January 66 coup?

You guys hype it because by definition Nigeria is a weapon formed against the Igbo. You all are fixated on Igbo hate while Fulani is fixated on wiping you all off. What a paradox.

In other words , the coup was justified and there was no corrupt igbo politician , we don hear
Move on to the next chapter of your revisionism, na only igbos like you kuku believe all the revisionism because their fathers who lost the war told a lot of cock and bull stories on why they lost and LIED so as to cover their foolishness of facing a national army with a rag tag army of volunteers armed ith sticks and a few Dane guns
