1966 Coup: How Then Was It Suddenly Termed Igbo Coup? by alcmene(op): 10:22am On Jan 18, 2016
Now take a look at the list of the major participants in ’66 coup plotters and render your own judgement:

1. Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu (Delta Igbo)

2. Major Adewale Ademoyega (Yoruba) author of “Why we struck”

3. Capt. G. Adeleke (Yoruba)

4. Maj. Ifeajuna (Igbo)

5. Lt. Fola Oyewole (Yoruba) author of “The reluctant rebel”

6. Lt. R. Egbiko(Esean)

7. Lt. Tijani Katsina(Hausa/Fulani)

8. Lt. O. Olafemiyan(Yoruba)

9. Capt. Gibson Jalo(Bali)

10. Capt. Swanton(Middle Belt)

11. Lt. Hope Harris Eghagha (Urhobo)

12. Lt. Dag Warribor(Ijaw)

13. 2nd Lt. Saleh Dambo(Hausa)

14. 2nd Lt. John Atom Kpera(Tiv).

So, to an unbiased observer, what evidence can one provide to show that Igbos actually carried out the coup in order to exterminate other tribes and take over the country? It is very easy to sell falshood, but it is very difficult to provide facts to buttress your claims.

It is now clear even to a suckling, that the imperialist genocidists crammed up this murderous lies against the Igbos to find reasons to perpetually keep them under hate. One even wonders why the nigerian state and perpetrators of the gruesome genocide have been preventing the proper documentation of that episode forthe benefits of her posterity.

When reality is called an ideal...

Even the blind think they see all

Lies and propaganda will never last forever.....

The coup was partly to overthrow the govt of that time; but was also meant to release Chief Obafemi Awolowo and handover power to him.
How then could it be termed Igbo coup.

Same coup was also foiled by two Igbos; Gen Ironsi and Lt. Col Odumegwu Ojukwu.
The participants were hailed until some hateful and blood-thirsty elements masterminded the rumour that it was an Igbo coup even when every body in the military termed the participants as heroes of Nigerian destiny and therfore should be rewarded for such courageous interruption and intervention outplay.
What a regretable falsification and supression of the national truth.

Re: 1966 Coup: How Then Was It Suddenly Termed Igbo Coup? by RealityShot: 10:46am On Jan 18, 2016
The only way for igbos to the free of the current oppression is to call for colonial rule... :-D

They had to call it an 'Igbo coup' in other to justify the over 50,000 easterners that were later massacred.

If they leave igbos to become friends with husband British.. .

There will be another functional sea port in the south.
That will spoil business for them. Period

I hope Osewa doesn't shutdown this thread.. :-D

I choose not to take offense in this your unnecessary outburst.

Enough of this discrepancy

We are all Igbos, there's nothing like Delta Igbo. Igbo is Igbo
