Are there yorubas in north central?

Yes, North central is the original and ancestral home of the Yoruba. They were driven out by the Nupe and Fulani warriors. By the way, they were not good neighbors hence the sack was necessary. Today still, they are not good neighbors in the southern Nigeria.

the tribalism on this forum would start another civil war in nigeria. im done here. seun promotes this sh.itt.

The coup plotters were protected by Ironsi just like the ibo top politicians were tipped off by Ifeajuna and his gang

Can u just imagine. By 'coincidence' d coup was hatched by an igboman, by 'coincidence' all d regional heads were killed: Tarawa balewa - prime minister, Sadauna of sokoto - Northern regional head, Ladoke Akintola - western Regional head, Awolowo would've bn killed if not for incarceration, but 'coincidentally' none from d east.

Officialgarri:


Without the military court martial for a whooping 6months?
Other plotters were usually executed within maximum of 3 months.
Ojukwu executed Banjo and Ifeajuna in a very short period despite Banjo's honest pleas.

tbh... Even though the cause was honest, this is one point he fvcked up!!.... Killing, banjo and Emmanuel


And true to their pleas, Enugu fell........ Smh

Officialgarri:


This bridge was commissioned by the then Prime Minister late Alhaji Tafawa Balewa and opened for traffic in December 1965... barely 15 days after, The same Balewa was assassinated by the people he commissioned the bridge for.

Two years later, the same people destroyed what was built for them.

Daft.

raumdeuter:


by a week after the killers were known to everyone in the country, Ironsi was in power, what did he do? protect them just like Ifeajuna protected Azikwe and othr Ibo ministers

For example the case of Jaja Wachukwu a minister in the same corrupt govt Ibo soldiers claimed they were cleaning

Jaja Wachuku looked through the window in the early hours of the morning and asked the soldiers: "What are you boys doing here?" One of the soldiers replied: "Good morning, Sir. But haven't you heard what is happening in the country?" To which Wachuku replied: "Yes. I know you boys have taken over the Government." And the soldier said: "Do not be afraid, Sir. We have come to protect you for being an honest Government Minister." Jaja Wachuku survived the military coup.

Above is an example of Ibo treachery

While the were killing other regional leaders in their sleep, killing their pregnant wives and unborn children, they were protecting thiers

Jaja Wachuku never for a day mouthed off on tribal derogation like Akintola had done. Jaja Wachuku never connived with opposition party to jail his party leader. It is the beauty of foolery to juxtapose Jaja Wachuku with a tribal juggernaut such as SL Akintola.

That’s to tell you that he massacre of over 60,000 igbo civilians all over the north was premeditated.

Other coups and assasination happened after that but no tribe was massacred.

They were envious of igbos and looking for the right excuse to do what they did.


Today they are looking for another excuse but unfortunately for them a character like Nnamdi Kanu arouse.


If 1966 massacre happens again, that will be the fastest route to Biafra. This time, the international community will see it happen live.

but u need to remember that the igbos were the first to embark on bloody coup on once peaceful Nigeria

Please nzeogwu is not an igbo man....he is from Niger delta

Osaz, I concur with u joor, juss as smart Adeyemi/ Dino melaye (kogi/North central) and oyedepo (kwara/north central) are Hausa Fulani's.

And where did you learn your own history from?

Correction. There was no battle at Niger Bridge the battle was Onitsha waterside. Achuzia blew up the bridge to slow the advance of the Nigerian forces. Murtala then sent thousands of soldiers across to Onitsha where they started to loot and destroy like they had done in Asaba. Biafran soldiers rallied and totally massacred the Federal forces. Some managed to swim back to Asaba to tell what happened.

Murtala the butcher of asaba, high on drugs and overconfident after his babalawo assured him he would win, sent wave after wave of men in boats across to Onitsha but they were massacred also.

were u there with his babalawo,murtala was fighting for his country, it's awful u failed to see the fault of those who instigated the war(igbo majors) killing the nation's top govt officials, creating the first bloody coup in the history of the country,hmmm,u shouldn't be biased, thanks

There were no nerves to calm in such manner. It was put straight to him to execute the plotters. He refused!

At the start of the war, the first victims were the ones who were in western jail. Don Okafor and Chris anuforo.....
That was what they needed within 6months

If they were protected as most of goons in Nigeria would us to believe, Okafor and Anuforo would have tucked away in eastern region instead of western region were they became easy targets for Yoruba people. I guess most Nigerians have skulls full of dust for brain.

Go and see how swiftly orkar Dimka and other plotters were dealt with, tell me if anyone of them was still joking around after 6 months

But these ibo soldiers killed a prime minister, 2 premiers, several military leaders who were not ibos and ironsi was still pussyfooting for 6 months

After they killed dimka swiftly,why didn't they start killing members of dimka's tribe?

My question is simple, when all this thing where happening, what was the role of the Yoruba people?

This dayokanu tells the same lies over and over for more than ten years and e no dey tire

Ironsi foiled the coup, locked the coup plotters up, allowed the special investigative panel do it's job, before they could give their findings there was the counter-coup. But hatred for Igbo ppl still inspires all these lies about ironsi

yeah the counter coup was inevitable bcoz loved ones of those killed (northern leaders)by the coup plotter (igbo majors) will seek for the blood of their kinsmen,and who started the blood shed it's the igbos... thanks

A few military men from different ethnic groups did it.They were a few military men not the civilian populace. when Abacha and his group looted Nigeria dry no one mentioned the entire Hausa/Fulani . when OBJ golp 16billion dollars via NEPA and killed everyone in Udi no one mentioned the entire yoruba race.when Dimka killed Murtala heaven did not brake loose ,when Abacha locked up MKO and when he died in prison no one mentioned the entire Abacha family but when Nzeogu spearheaded the coup in 1966 without consulting the igbos (even though his people in Delta state still deny that they are igbos)the entire country descended on the innocent igbo population. why do you people behave this way,must you judge like cavemen?The massacre of the igbos after the 1966 coup caused the civil war.

nzeogu just led the coup,but it was planned by him and the other igbo majors (anuforo,okafor,ifeajuna)

But Ndigbo in the North composed a song taunting the late Sarduana of Sokoto in the land where they were welcomed. You dont need to go on a plebiscite to show u condone the act, actions and inactions can show your support for a cause. Even the pseudo federalism we suffering from today was caused by Igbos. Ben Nnwabueze drafted that decree No. 13 of 1966 which Gen. Ironsi used in setting Nigeria on unitary path where each states now look to federal govt for revenue. Once the Northerners this false sense of federalism, they never want to hear about Restructuring anymore.

when will you yolobas stop lying,

can you UPload the song igbos in north composed.

They reaped what they sowed. Their own man gunned them down when they thought they were safe

i wont 'totally' agree bro.... The hausa and fulani are two distinct tribes, the hausa's view fulani's as oppressors BUT they have been silenced to the extent an outsider won't easily note the differences and potential weakness.........

Go check bro, A fulani would on no account ever bow to Hausa.......

So i think the perpetuator is a hausa, i might be wrong though but never 4get the above point.. The hausa-fulani and even kanuri are not friends, it is only religion that brings them 2geda

What about the killers of Abiola and his wife? Why were they protected too?

yes, protected by GEJ a southerner, since they and igbos have something in common.

Please explain who put it straight to him to execute the plotters? The 1963 Nigerian constitution as well as military code of conduct did not specify that plotters should be executed. They only specified jail terms not even life. The crap of execution of coup plotters came to life when the dumbass Obasanjo and his fellow goons kicked against the codification of the Nigerian constitution to murder the 1975 coup plotters whom majority of them were Christians from north central. However when the name of the dirty Yoruba was implicated in a coup plot, he shamelessly cried and begged for his life like an ill-nurtured child.

Why is history no longer taught as a subject in our secondary schools?

I don't like speaking on sensitive threads like this but comments like yours tug at me.

Igbo people did not kill Balewa and co. Coup plotters killed Balewa. The coup plotters were led by some Igbo soldiers. Coup plotters don't come to their tribesmen to seek for permission to carry out a coup.

The coup and the killing of select people is condemnable but the generalization and condemning of and the eventual massacre of a whole tribe for what few soldiers did is atrocious and unjust. This is at the heart of the ethnic bitterness and hatred that have strangled the building of a united progressive nation.

It is false logic to say that a few = a whole.

Does Boko Haram = Hausa/Fulani?
Are Fulani Herdsmen = The entire Fulani?

If so should we go on reprisal attack on all Fulani to get justice?

The same evil logic wiped out Odi in Rivers State. Few soldiers killed by militants. Justice meant wiping out the entire Odi village, raping and torturing and even killing their women?

Some blame Ironsi, the same man who led the offensive that aborted the coup, for not decisively dealing with the perpetrators of the coup. True, Ironsi should have been quicker and more decisive in handing out judgment.

So the Igbo nation deserved to be punished for the weaknesses of the commander in chief. Another false logic.

Does Buhari's weaknesses in arresting Fulani herdsmen and bringing the killings in the Middle Belt to a halt justify a coup in which Buhari is killed and almost all Hausa/Fulani soldiers are wiped out and a pogrom is sanctioned against the entire Hausa/Fulani?

The injustice at the root of that war still festers today - see many comments on NL about 'Children of hate', terrorists and 'fear north' and even the perennial Yoruba vs Igbo fights here.

Until we realize where the rain started beating us and find creative ways to solve them and reconcile these anomalies nationhood will continue to elude us and charlatans like Nnamdi Kanu will continue milking the Biafra story for lucre. Until there is no country left.

We need a different kind of thinking and leadership to move this country forward.

olajizz01:
I think that's overstatement, military will never plot a sucessful coup and installed civilian afterwards.

nah!!! Its not overstated, this military we are talking about were very young and inexperienced, i am sure they would have handed over, ironsi on the other hand was experienced, he even served in foreign missions and was the one that eventually seized power........

The coup plotters were all young guys,some just a year after returning from training in Sandhurst

raumdeuter:


Ifeajuna and other ibo soldiers killed other regional leaders and spared theirs.

Ironsi instead of executing them immediately, was pampering them. All the problems in this country can be traced back to ibo betrayal in that first coup

so you think ironsi should have killed the coup plotters in 6 months without trial? Including col banjo who kept denying that he knew nothing about the coup. You must be very stupid. When abacha accused obasanjo for plotting a coup. Did he execute obasanjo in 6 months?
