Aprt from the fact that you just stated that abt 80% of the coup plotters were Igbo, which tribe seized power after the bloody coup was executed?

Do you think other tribes are so daft that because one Yoruba man and another soldier from the South were implicated in the coup they wouldn't know the real motives of the igbo commanders.

After the success of the coup, which tribe trouped enmassse into the street and started celebrating the death of the northern leaders?

You all like to claim victim and absorb yourselves of any responsibility.

Igbo. Because they had more officers from the rank of Major and above. Also I referred to that in the shoddy way Ironsi handled aftermath of it.

This fact was established by the Yoruba that formed the nucleus of the movement - Ademoyega. Other Yorubas who took part were - Major Adeleke, Lt. Oyewole, 2nd Lt. Olafimihan ( there was a Captain and some others I don't think I can remember).

If Igbo civilians in Kano trooped out to celebrate Emir's death, does it mean the civilians were told it was an Igbo coup by Nzeogwu who was even more Hausa than Igbo?

Note: I'm not Igbo.

Its funny how FFK omitted the name of Major Adewale Ademoyega in the names of those who orchestrated the first military coup.

I now see that he shares some traits with his brother in political prostitution TonyeBarcanista, that is the twisting and omission of facts.

FFK is no longer content with slaying igbo punnies but he has now decided to tow the line of nationalist despite doing so deviously.

Bro, whoever takes FFK seriously will have himself and herself to blame.

FKK is just like paper, anywhere the wind blow, that's where he goes.

Well, when it comes to politics, igbo people are daft and clueless and that is why they always claim casualties.

You mean to tell me all the points you made above would dissuade every other tribe from viewing the coup as an Igbo?

For every one Yoruba involved in the coup, the were five Igbos.

The yorubas suffered countless casualties both civilian and military but the Igbos lost not a single soul. Adekunle fajuyi, Brigadier
Samuel Ademulegun, Colonel Ralph
Shodeinde and Pa akintola were murdered as a result of the coup. Several yoruba civilians also lost their lives and you mean to tell me its not an igbo coup?

Why do you people like telling barefaced lies

I stopped reading from here. It was never an Igbo coup. FFK should read well.
This stvpid rumour and distortion of truth has to stop! Though Igbos constituted above 80% of the extended group, the originators of the Revolutionary movement came together with the objective of freeing Nigeria from the bad leadership it was experiencing then and not to make any tribe higher than the other.

Unfortunately, the coup was hijacked from the original group and as things turned up made to look like Igbo coup by the incompetent way Ironsi handled events as they unfold.

it was an igbo coup my brother. If it wasn't an igbo coup why were the officers who carried out the coup Igbos, why did they kill northerleaders and some western leaders only

Please note that despite the fact that a number of Yoruba leaders were killed on that night as well no Igbo civilians were massacred anywhere in the west by mobs in reprisal killings throughout that period.

Fajuyi died protecting his visitor - Ironsi in the coup spearheaded by Danjuma. Akintola resisted arrest, had to be shot.

My point remains the coup was hijacked by some elements brought it later, but from the point of conception, it was never an Igbo coup.

I will say you are right by half. why? The coup was initially design to cleanse the then political atmosphere; unfortunately it was later hijacked by the Igbo soldiers when they refuse to sacrifice their own politicians.
The fact also that an Igbo officer(ironsi) became the head of state and imposed an unpopular unitary system of govt just give the coup an Igbo colouration.
If politicians of Igbo extraction had been executed along, and if Ironsi had not imposed a unitary system of Govt, nobody will have any reason to tag the coup an Igbo domination agenda.

The truth is very bitter.

Nzeogwu, the January 1966 coup leader was a Niger-deltan from Delta-Igbo. And the other ring members are Kpera (Northerner), Ademoyega (Westerner) and Anuforo (Easterner).

Those who leave the substance to chase shadows are as culpable as those who have caused the sacrifice of millions of lives for the sake of false 'One Nigeria'. Channel your energy towards stopping the evils in the polity and the wanton killings of innocent people for no just cause. Strange bedfellows of irreconcilable value systems cannot continue to be together. 

You are free to pledge your allegiance to OduaArewanistan. It's a free world of choice wherein you have freedom of association. You don't expect every other person to tag along with you.

N.B: The essence of this information is mainly to expose the lies of the notorious history distortionists and wicked propagandists who insult and malign others continually with lies and falsehood, and shout and make much noise on every available media. This a tribe that is after all well known for being loose cannons. Uncouth, uncivilised and disrespectful set of people who made a career out of abuse and slurs.
The same treacheerous beings who precipitated the January 1966 coup and the 1967-70 civil war with their bloody 'Operation Wetie ' in the SW. They start trouble and heat up the polity only to run cowardly to hide in their evil Soka forest when the jungle matures.
Disciple of hate and propaganda, here are the members of Yoruba tribe that participated in the January 1966 coup:
(See Ben Gbulie: ‘Nigeria’s Five Majors.’).

*Adewale Ademoyega is the most prominent Yoruba participant in the coup, there were other Yoruba officers who were involved at the dangerous execution stage of the coup. One of them is:

*Second Lieutenant Olafimihan, an officer serving under Madiebo in Kaduna. He was sent by the plotters to gauge his commander’s loyalty. (See Madiebo pp.17-18).

*Another is Lieutenant (some books refer to him as a Captain) Fola Oyewole. He, like Ademoyega, went on to fight for Biafra and wrote a book on his coup and wartime experiences. The book’s title is ‘Reluctant Rebel.’

*There is also Captain Ganiyu Adeleke who became an instructor in the Biafran Infantry School. For confirmation, see the list of coup plotters detained by Ironsi’s regime in Ademoyega pp.106-108, and this quote from Nowa Omoigui’s online account: ‘Mid-Western Invasion of 1967’: ‘Captain Ganiyu Adeleke, who had taken part in both the January 15 coup and the Mid-Western invasion before becoming an instructor in the Biafran School of Infantry was released at a later date after his co-plotters had been freed.’ Omoigui’s work is significant because, though he exhibits a high level of professionalism in his research, he has no sympathy for the January 15 coup. If his facts corroborate Ademoyega’s they are worthy of attention.

Ojukwu defended Igbos from ethnic cleansing no matter the attempts of hypocrites to cover up their evils. 
Ojukwu will forever remain a legend amongst Igbos regardless of what the same people who were responsible for what Ojukwu stood against thinks.

In spite of the great wealth and affluence at his disposal (courtesy of the father who was one of the top richest in Africa at then) Odumegwu Ojukwu lived fighting for the liberation of his people. A greedy man cannot risk his wealth or life for the emancipation of his people. Benjamin Adekunle a.k.a the Black Scorpion, who fought for Nigeria, confessed, "we fought for oil and not for unity". Gowon, Awolowo and their co-travellers murdered millions of Igbo civilians because of crude oil in the Eastern region.

What did other Nigerians and their leaders do when Igbos where being massacred across the North in 1966 before the civil war?
Did any of these Igbo accusers come to the aid of the people of Igbodo and Asaba in 1967 when genocide was being carried out on them by the same people?

You are simply bitter and angry about Biafra, and now you're having terrible nightmares and still bent on having Igbos be in same country with murderers and their collaborators.

Anybody defending the atrocious acts of their forebears against the Igbo Nation is wicked to state the least. It's in vain trying hard to deny the genocide committed against the Igbos.

Gowon, Awolowo, Ejoor, Adebayo, Mobolaji Johnson, Katsina, Wey and all the groups that supported and advised the Federal Government of Nigeria to renege on the accords agreed upon in Aburi, Ghana were responsible for the 1967-70 Civil War, alongside their murderous kinsmen who killed innocent Easterners in revenge for an act done by a misguided group of soldiers comprising both Southerners and Northerners.

Ojukwu tried making peace, and called for peace-talk in a neutral ground hence the Aburi Accord, but Gowon and his co-travellers violated the agreement reached. If Ojukwu wanted war he wouldn't have called for peace talk in Ghana but the declaration of Biafra was inevitable as the killing of Easterners continued across the country. Ojukwu never asked for war! Ojukwu only declared Biafra when over thirty thousand corpses littered the Northern region in the aftermath of the January 15 1966 coup. Gowon and his cohorts declared the civil war! And Benjamin Adekunle, one the Nigerian soldier, later attested to the fact that Nigeria declared war because of oil in the Eastern region and not for the unity of the country!

Why didn't the July 1966 counter-coup plotters just wipe out the Eastern political class and call it a day. Aguiyi Ironsi did nothing deserving death yet they killed him. Ironsi was too much of a peacemaker and he died making useless peace, appeasing the Northerners. The counter coup plotters simply wanted a war and they sure got one.
Bear in mind there was no war before the pogrom of 1966 started in the North.
So why resort to maiming and killing innocent Easterners cum civilians. Has the killings stopped till date? NO!

The February 13, 1976 Dimka-led coupists came from Benue and Plateau region. They assassinated Murtala Mohammed then Head of State, yet there was no genocide carried against the Middle-belt people. Why was same treatment not given to the ethnic groups of the Dimka-led coupists that committed same offence? It's simply hypocrisy!
It is even against the military rule to harm the innocent civilians during coup.

According to the warped logic of hypocrites any time there is a revolution or a coup the ethnic groups of the coup plotters should be singled out for ethnic cleansing!


Ethnomusicolist Charles Keil, who was visiting
Nigeria in 1966, recounted:

"The pogroms I witnessed in Makurdi, Nigeria
(late Sept. 1966) were foreshadowed by
months of intensive anti-Ibo and anti-
Eastern conversations among Tiv, Idoma,
Hausa and other Northerners resident in
Makurdi, and, fitting a pattern replicated in
city after city, the massacres were led by the
Nigerian army. Before, during and after the
slaughter, Col. Gowan could be heard over
the radio issuing 'guarantees of safety' to all
Easterners, all citizens of Nigeria, but the
intent of the soldiers, the only power that
counts in Nigeria now or then, was painfully
clear. After counting the disemboweled
bodies along the Makurdi road I was
escorted back to the city by soldiers who
apologized for the stench and explained
politely that they were doing me and the
world a great favor by eliminating Ibos.”

Fajuyi died protecting his visitor - Ironsi in the coup spearheaded by Danjuma. Akintola resisted arrest, had to be shot.

My point remains the coup was hijacked by some elements brought it later, but from the point of conception, it was never an Igbo coup.

According to Lt Walbe: 
"As far as I am concerned it was a lie (i.e. Yoruba publications). We arrested him as we arrested Ironsi. We suspected him of being party to the January coup. You remember the Battle Group Course which was held at Abeokuta... Fajuyi was Commander of the Battle Group course. He ran the course. All those who took part in the January coup were those who had taken part in that course. It gave us the impression that the Battle Course was arranged for the January Coup, so he had to suffer it too. I am sorry about that but that is the nature of the life of the military man..."


Lt. Colonel Francis Adekunle Fajuyi was killed alongside Aguiyi Ironsi by T.Y Danjuma and his Northern coupists because of his role in the January 1966 coup. The ADC to Ironsi, Captain (Senator) Andrew Nwankwo, who was lucky to escape from the field of slaughter revealed what actually transpired on that fateful day.

Fajuyi was reported to have been very scared, and had been one of those marked down for elimination. By the time Major Akahan phoned Gowon in Lagos and received instructions to ensure that nothing happened to Ironsi, it was late. Even Major Akahan and Major Danjuma (then at Ibadan) had lost control over their boys.

That Fajuyi wanted to be killed while defending Ironsi was merely a deceit and foolery which can only be found in certain section of Nigeria. Fajuyi was even a principal target for the July 29, 1966 coup plotters.


HOW IRONSI, NWANKWO AND FAJUYI WERE CAPTURED BY T.Y DANJUMA

Policewoman:
This story was told by none other than the ADC to General Aguiyi Ironsi himself, Captain (Now Senator) Andrew Nwankwo. It shows how the Northerners murdered Lt. Colonel Francis Adekunle Fajuyi and his host, Ironsi. It also shows that they lied to the Yoruba nation that Fajuyi was killed accidentally while defending Ironsi. His murder was covered up by the north in order not to make the west suspicious of their agenda. Read on.

How Ironsi was killed, by his ADC
By PETRUS OBI, Abakaliki
Monday, June 28, 2004
• Senator Andrew Nwankwo
Photo.Sun News Publishing

Senator Andrew Nwankwo from the Izzi clan in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, was a captain in the Nigeria Air Force before the January 1966 coup that made way for Major General J. T. U Aguiyi Ironsi to emerge as Head of State.
He became Ironsi’s Aide-De-Camp through the recommendation of Brigadier George Krubo who was then in-charge of the Air Force and subsequently supervised the late Head of State’s security.

Capt. Andrew Nwankwo (rtd) said he was to die with his boss, but for fate. He was present when both Ironsi and Fajuyi were shot dead.

Tracking the 61-year-old former ADC down in his one story building residence in Abakaliki was not as difficult as getting him to recall the events that led to the death of his master 38 years ago.
He would start by taking you down memory lane when he served as a courier to late Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, "I was manning the octopus-a helicopter that carries 105 artillery gun and six other machine guns.

"So when Ethiopia was at war with Somalia in 1964/65 we formed the defence group of the emperor, we also formed an attack force. When the emperor is going to the frontline to see what is happening, we ring him round to clear the way for him".
It was part of these that Ironsi saw and handed over his security to the young captain. "It was cool working with Ironsi, he understood everything about what I should do because he had commanded the UN forces in Congo, and that exposed him to the type of people he needed".

The coup
Recalling the events of that night, July 29, 1966, Nwankwo noted that they were in Ibadan, "we had a small detachment of 106 Artillery, Commanded by one Walbe from Plateau"
The Head of State had the previous day hosted traditional rulers from all parts of the country in the Ibadan Government House. "He wasn’t feeling quite well, he had a knee problem and had to go to bed early.

"Lieutenant Sanni Bello was the army ADC, and we were very close. So, we left that night to go and look out and came back late. Lt. Adamu who was the ADC to Fajuyi, Sanni Bello, Walbe and myself, we all slept together in one room that night".
"At about 4a.m the telephone rang, I picked it up and that was Adeola, the then commissioner of police, Ibadan he said he wanted to speak with Ironsi, I said I was the ADC, he said he wanted to speak with him because there was a coup and he gave me some names Orok and two others that had been killed in

Abeokuta.
"Immediately, I made a mental picture of it, and I knew that it was the northerners that were responsible. So, I handed the phone to Ironsi and they talked. I then alerted Adamu and Sanni Bello and said look, there is a coup and the trend is this way.

"Bello assured me that if it is his own people he will protect me, because, there was tension in the land such that we knew a coup was imminent. So, we agreed to protect each other depending on where it will be coming from. I later discovered that Walbe who was sleeping with us was part of the coup; he later became ADC to Gowon.

"Around 5:30 we heard gunfire, then Ironsi had called Col. Njoku to tell him about the coup. As Njoku was going out, he was short at, but he escaped with bullet wounds. It was Njoku, who was the commander of Lagos Garrison that alerted others outside the Government House, Ibadan.
"Fajuyi later sent me outside the government House to find out what was happening. I met Danjuma, who was then a major and he was my friend. He pretended he didn’t know what was happening, he was asking me, and I said I didn’t know. While I was trying to go back, one sergeant from Benue almost shot me, but Danjuma stopped him and spoke to him in Hausa. Danjuma later told me that he would like to see Ironsi, so that he could tell them what to do.

"It was then that Fajuyi came out to find out what was holding me, and there inside the Government House Danjuma ordered for his arrest and mine too. That was when I saw Walbe. Then Fajuyi asked me to take him to Ironsi so that they will obey him, that there should be only one person in charge. So, I took them to Ironsi, and major Newman, immediately he saw Ironsi, he seized his crocodile swagger stick, and then they started asking him about the January coup, he said he didn’t know about it that he only agreed to be Head of State so that he can restore confidence and normalcy. It was immediately they arrested Ironsi that they turned violent".

The road to the valley of death
They marched us down, Ironsi and myself, to where Fajuyi was. They used telephone cable to tie my hands behind and my legs, with a little space to walk. Same they did to Ironsi, but they removed his shirt, he wore only trousers, they also tied Fajuyi. Ironsi was in a Land Rover, Fajuyi in a mini bus and myself in another bus. They drove us towards Iwo Road, 10 km from Ibadan, there was a small forest were they stopped, marched us to the right hand side of the bush, Fajuyi was leading and as he tried to cross a small stream, he fell down, the soldiers were unruly, it appeared some of them had for the first time taken Indian hemp, so when he fell down some of them started beating him.

My escape
As Fajuyi fell down and they were beating him, Sanni Bello came to me and tapped me and said, we could do something now. It was providence, may be I was not destined to die. I took a few steps from them and jumped into a nearby ditch, all in a split of a second, Bello came and stood by the ditch and was shouting that I had escaped pointing at another direction. So the soldiers ran around that direction shooting into the bush, and when they felt they must have killed me, they shot Fajuyi and then Ironsi there, by the side of the stream. So Bello made sure that he was the last to leave the place.
The ADC, who was later elected senator in 1983 stated that the former Head of State could have escaped if not that he wanted to make sure that there was no bloodshed. He said if he sacrificed his life and prevented bloodshed in Nigeria, it’s better for him. Even his chaplain urged him to escape but he said No. Also many of his officers who were contacted instead of taking action ran away.
The ADC denied the prevailing story that Ironsi was tied to a Land Rover and dragged along the road. He maintained that he saw Ironsi and Fajuyi shot dead. "They shot him on the chest and it was a burst, so he would have died after the first shot".

The crocodile staff
It was a swagger stick, which he made after his name Aguiyi (crocodile). It was in the Congo, when he was commanding the United Nations Forces, the Indian troops were to land at the Lumumbashi Airport but the Cameroon gendarmes went and blocked the place with trucks, so that the Indian soldiers will not land, so, he used a Land Rover and with the stagger stick waved as they were shouting, he was eventually able to convince them to remove the trucks. Many attributed that feat to extraordinary powers in his swagger stick. But there was nothing in it, it was just a stick. Ironsi was not fetish; he was a devoted Catholic and attended mass every morning, even the day he was killed. ***** This Interview was culled from www.sunnewsonline.com

I will slightly agree with you. There is ritual killings in all parts of the country while the southwest own his limited in size and scope and also being despised.
