"In the early hours of Jan 15 1966, 51 years ago today, the man in this picture, Major Kaduna Nzeogwu, led a coup of junior army officers of mainly of Igbo extraction. Many were killed that night. The coup failed but the issues he, and later in 1991 Major Gideon Orkar raised in his own coup, are still pertinent.
When will the yoke of internal colonialism and subjugation be finally broken in our country? I have always condemned Nzeogwu and, to a lesser degree Orkar, but given what is happening in Nigeria today I have to say that both of them were not just heroes but men that fought to ensure that we were freed from what is nothing less than injustice, wickedness and slavery.
They failed in their quest for power and they were both killed: one was shot at the stake by General Babangida's governmrnt and the other was shot on the war front by Federal troops whilst fighting for his beloved Biafra.
As far as I am concerned they are both martyrs and their deaths shall never be in vain.
Continue to rest in peace O Christian soldiers and martyrs of the faith. In the new Nigeria we shall name streets, buildings and airports after you"- FFK. .

FFK. Your father will be turning in his grave. The same group of people that denied you of fatherly care until OBJ picked you up.

Emycord:
Why is nzeogwu coup called igbo coup and the other coup called counter coup why not northern coup, arewa coup, northern coup, gowon coup, hausa coup, or fulani coup. And yes you guessed write why is the 1983 coup not called buhari coup or fulani coup

Trump and Putin is here to decimate every Muslim terrorist group.


I can imagine Hellfire missiles on their arse while they scream Allahu Akbar on their dying lips

seunmsg:
FFK is playing mind games with Ibos as usual and as expected, they are falling for his tricks.

Those condemning Nzeogwu did not know what he prevented
Hate him love him Nzeogwu prevented the islamization of the whole nigeria and for that he must be applauded for it
The only person nzeogu wanted to kill was ahmadu bello
T[b]he others were killed due to sturborness either on their part or on the part of the other coup plotters take for example akintola instead of surrendering he resorted to firing shots at the army that came to arrest him
When his bullets finished he raised a flag of surrender
Did you expect the coup plotters to leave him[/b]

Naija9090:
If Nzeogwu is a treasonable felon, What is then Awolowoo who murdered in cold blood 2 million Biafraan children? Also a Martyr? Lol..Afonjaa and their reasoning!

superstar1:
He was a conqueror of murderous rebels

He was a conqueror of your insanity war.

He was a man of wisdom that used words to end a war of 2 and half years.

He was and still is and will forever be the Ojuju Calabar of Ojukwus and Osus

He was a man that sent your cowardly sissy war hero into exile with mere words of wisdom.


If he kills 3million of you and you could not do anything about it, it actually how pathetic all of you are.

There has never been anyone like him in Igboland and there will never be any one that would be as great as him from Igboland.
