raumdeuter: 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. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

raumdeuter: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. |

raumdeuter: 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. 4 Likes 1 Share |

nku5: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 |

Officialgarri: 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. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Officialgarri: 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. 14 Likes 6 Shares |

olajizz01: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 |
Re: Onitsha Niger Bridge In 1967 And 2019 (Photos) by nduka84(m): 10:16pm On Apr 14, 2019 |
raumdeuter: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? 4 Likes 2 Shares |
