who need narrative here when it is obvious igbos pull the triggers first on others

Kaduna nzeogwu killed ahmadu bello

Ifeajuna Killed Tafa balewa

Nwaobosi killed. SL akintola

You igbos murdered prime minister ,northern and western leaders because of your greed and quest to rule ,igbos will continue to pay for their sins till Jesus come back

igbodefender:
Most of the officers in the army then were Igbos. That is why it looks like an Igbo coup. But it was never an Igbo coup. Stop the cheap blackmail.

slivertongue:
alot of them had fear of Igbos for no reason so when a few went across the line they concluded that it was planned.
they also believe igbos are the problem with Nigeria, yet when they took the centre stage their people and community remained same, or even worse.
God help this country

You took your time to cross out the whole write up, I hail you. Igbos have been able to achieve that on their own, they are the most hated tribe in Africa, I mean which tribe gets a quit notice home and abroad. David Ejoor is an Urhobo man.

My Dear ignore those illiterate and confused hypocrites who parade themselves on Nairaland, castigating the Igbos.

Many reasonable ones among them are the offspring of Igbowomen whom the lustfully took as wives after the civil war.

If the hated the Igbos as these illiterates claim online, why did their fathers took many Igbo women as wives and are still lusting after our women till today?

madridguy:
What is Hmmmmm

HausaOverlord:
well the Igbo women are very good sex objects, with a lil financial incentive u can acquire a hoard of em, just like how I am planning to do when we send our suicidal almajiri after y'all. I have spoken

Okpueze1:
Who has time to believe this dishonest and one sided narrative. What an innocent Nigerian soldier.
People like this are the problem of this country.

bencarson007:
Adewale Ademoyega was still in the street when veterans like Ejoor were being made... This man just gave an insider account invlving only himself and how he escaped death and I see no lies here... Even the idiot Obasanjo who wrote lies in MY WATCH cannot come out and counter him because he was not even an officer when this man started. All the names of people he mentioned in his story are still alive and Adewale Ademoyega should have done well to confirm from them. No one call tell your tale better than you do.

I have know papa Major General David Akopde Ejoor(GCON) for more than 18years. Uprightness is his name. Humility is his mien and having encountered him one on one many times at church (Sacred Heart Catholic Cathedral, Warri) and at home at Deco road warri and later on in the Army Barracks effurun, I dare to say I can bet my life on the integrity of this man. Even when Ibori offered him the wealth of Delta state, papa choose to keep staying in his humble bungalow and stay away from politics unlike the bastard E K Clarke that has helped to tear Niger Delta apart by dining with both Afonja and Northern hawks and parasites.

At 90+, papa has nothing to lose so he choose to speak the truth. Whoever feels he is lying should go to his house and beat him...how can this man lie when he was there when it all happened. You people obviously don't know this man. He will take a bullet for the truth. Do you think he is Obasanjo or Adewale Ademoyega - those lying bastards ? Were they there when it all happened. In the photos of the first 30 officers in the Nigeria,did you see the lying Ademoyega or Obasanjo... Bros abeg park well
For all those shouting that he is Afonja, sorry he is not. He is an Urhobo man from delta state. And he is truly what an elder statesman should be quiet and reserved. Only apeak when your counsel is sought.

GoroTango:
Bros it was an ibo coup, the fact that no ibo officers or politicians lost their lives in it is enough proof

sean1000x:
Afonjas at it again...to convince other tribes to hate Igbos. Instead it's you afonjas they will hate as Northern minorities are now embracing Igbos visavis Biafraans in high numbers. This is not 1970 when it worked, people are wiser now especially after 50 yrs of seeing for themselves

quid:
Adewale Ademoyega was part and parcel of the Nzeogwu coup. Why are you spreading rumors?

bencarson007:
Yeah I see that
What I was trying to say in summary with my post was that Ejoor gave only his account of the coups as a neutral man.

StOla:
A man who meant well for his people as regional premier, but the Igbos would not have anyone stop them from dominating foreign land.

The question now is, was the assassination of this one man that Igbos wildly celebrated, worth the lives of 7000 Igbos lost to the pogrom and 1million Igbos lost to the civil war?

eagleeye2:
Who said No Igbo Officer lost his life? Please read your history books.

GoroTango:
Only one did and that was because he was too close to Brigadier Maimalari. The coup was a plot by mid ranking ibo officers to seize control of the central government from the northern ruling northern NPC.

eagleeye2:
And the Author of "why we struck", I presume is also Igbo

GoroTango:
Even northerners were used by Nzegwu as foot soldiers during the coup, but it dosent make it any less of an ibo coup. Oga the history books are there for all to read stop trying to rewrite them.

eagleeye2:
You are the one trying to rewrite history. So, Ademoyega was used by Nzeogwu? And the Northerners were also used by Nzeogwu? Wow.
That guy Nzeogwu must have magical powers. But I equally read that Nzeogwu is from Delta State, and the Leaders and owners of Nigeria have made me to believe that Delta State is not really part of Igbo. If that is the case, I can actually conclude that Nzeogwu also used the Igbos involved in the coup.
Thus, it was a Niger Delta coup and not what you want us to believe.

eagleeye2:
When Nzeogwu made his infamous “we were five” comment, he made no reference to the rank of the “five”. He was merely referring to the five designated strategic regional commanders of the coup. In fact, no less than nine Majors were originally billed to take part in the coup. These were Majors Nzeogwu, Ifeajuna, Ademoyega, Okafor, Anuforo, Chukwuka, Obienu, Onwuatuegwu and Chude-Sokei. Shortly before the coup, Chude-Sokei was posted overseas. On the coup day itself, Obienu failed to show, leaving seven Majors as participants. When it came to execution, the Majors designated five officers as regional commanders for the coup’s execution. Of Nzeogwu’s “five”, there were “the two of us in the North” (Nzeogwu and Major Tim Onwuatuegwu), and three more in the South.
The head of the Lagos operations was Major Emmanuel Ifeajuna. That makes three Majors so far. The squad, which killed Chief Samuel Akintola in Ibadan, was led by CAPTAIN Nwobosi. That makes four (three Majors and one Captain). There was no coup in the Mid-West as no military formation was based in that region.
However, Lieutenant Oguchi was dispatched to the east to arrest the Premier of the Eastern region: Dr Michael Okpara. The identity of the fifth member is the most problematic. Majors Don Okafor and Adewale Ademoyega were given much responsibility for the Lagos branch of the coup, and it is likely that one of these two men was the fifth commander.
