They put a coup plotter Murtala Muhammed on the 20 Naira, but refuse to do so for Ironsi who was not a coup plotter.
The CBN lies that late Head of State, General Murtala Ramat Muhammed (1938-1976) who was the torch bearer of the Nigerian Revolution July, 1975.
Which yeye Nigerian revolution?
He was a coup plotter. PERIOD.
Who toppled Gen. Yakubu Gowon for his selfish ambition to become Head of State.

Modsenemy:
Whether true or not, Ironsi stylishly annexed power . He could as well b tagged a traitor

Orikinla:
[size=14pt]He crushed a coup and was not a coup plotter.
It is gross injustice to celebrate and honour a coup plotter and ignore the first Nigerian military Head of State who was never a coup plotter. It is simple to comprehend that.[/size]

Lt Colonel Gabriel Okonwze, an Asaba man and proud Igbo son. Him along with Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu, Olusegun Obasunjo and Olutoye were all commissioned as officers in 1960. The Northerners just killed the young man for no reason

rhymaster:
And what happened to Maimalari, Balewa, Ademulegun, Shodeinde, Ahmadu Bello, etc (13 in all) killed in the Ibo coup? When you kill others, you rationalize and justify it, when they revenge you cry victim!?? SMH for these people!

Modsenemy:
A leader should know the right thing to do if his hands are clean!
If he was innocent ,
y should he not hand power to a neutral tribe since it was a general knowledge that the coup plotters were igbo ?
2. Y were the officers not executed but instead they were given ranks even when some were partially in prison ?

This type of reasoning is stale. It was not an Igbo coup. Major Ademoyega, Captain Adeleke and Lt Oyewole are not Igbos.

Second, those who carried out the coup were already detainef, why kill those who were not involved like Okonweze?

Third, if you justify the killing of Okonweze because of Nzeogwu then you should justify the killing of IBB and Buhari because both men were coup plotters who killed people too.

my bro,don't mind these people! anybody with a cheap phone can just come online to spew trash without getting the facts right.

It was not an Igbo coup. Three Yoruba Nigerian Army officers were among the leaders of the coup d'etat commanded by Major Kaduna Nzeogwu.

Orikinla:
The fact that they honoured Murtala Mohammed, but ignored Ironsi showed that they still have scores to settle with Igbos.

Orikinla:
Lt. Col. Okonweze, therefore, called a meeting in the mess of all available officers (Igbo and non-Igbo) at the Abeokuta Garrison where he made the following announcement:

"Gentlemen, I have just been informed that there is going to be a coup tonight. Anyone of you who knows anything about the coup should please tell us. You may know the beginning but you never know the end. I am not ambitious. My only ambition is to become a full Colonel. If you know anything, please let me know; I am not going to report anyone. What we are going to do is to avoid what happened in January where officers were taken unawares. We are going to wake up all soldiers, ask them to go to the armoury to get issued with arms and ammunition. "
