Lifestone: My Broda I understand where you are coming from, but the truth remains they were many northerners/middle beltans that participated in that Jan 15 coup, but because of their affiliation, they were spared and many went ahead to become known and respected in the nigeria army, but what about the igbos 2 Likes |

Henrodah: Wikipedia is not the best search engine or an authority on anything, that is why they provide references to materials, so that you can do your independent verification, and also that they are not liable for any misinformation. I have also read the account by one Dr Omoigui and another by one Ben Obi in the 5 majors. That's how to read history. History is a very subtle and complex area to foray into, because if you weren't there when it happened, you can't say which is true or which isn't. You will have to read different accounts to make your own judgments. A history lesson or lecture will never give an account of an event from one source only. Otherwise it would be pegged with lies and misconstrued to represent the views of a group. So read The 5 Majors, and read DR Omoiguis version as well, and any other version you find. |

Etinosajay: Since we are talking bout books let me tell you how many I have read pertaining the coup! 1 -why we struck - by one of the cult plotist himself Major Ademoyega(yoruba) 2-The Nigerian/biafrian war -Alex Madiebo 3- Dr Nowa Omoiguis articles 4-Gen Obasanjo's book 'an intimate portrait of Major Nzeogwu. 5-Ruth first- barrel of a gun And my dad fought this same war for complete 2years before he was injured in benin after an air strike....so am no novice to this topic my brother, history is always told by the Victors to suit them, it's left for us having an 'inquisitive mind' to go deeper and get information...for example America wasn't winning the war against Japan before they used 'little boy' (atomic weapon) Infact they were been slaughtered at midway, but americans at home felt they were winning the war. The heriocs of the japanese won't be heard cause they couldn't write the history themselves. 3 Likes |

Henrodah: Good reads in bold. I found those very expository. Read the 5 majors also. And I think it was Ademulegun not Ademoyega |

gartamanta: Yes dats true doe,d Yoruba's Neva called out the Hausa's for d killing of Fajuiyi and d denial of Awo. But my Broda d Igbo's didn't help matters too,after d first coup,dey were bin boostful about it......." we killed ur leaders wat can u do".........d Igbo's were saying dis,even to d faces of dier colleagues in d barracks(d military guys), even d wives of d Igbo's military guys were said to b mocking dier Hausa counterparts within d barracks,n dat was y d retaliation was dat bloody, n dats y d Yoruba's didn't call out d Hausa's, because d Igbo's were not bin discrete about the whole coup. Same reason Nigeria believed dat it was a coup staged mainly by Igbo's to silence other tribes Even after d first coup Ironsi's appointment into key positions were mainly Igbo's. That time was jst crazy jare,God help us 1 Like
