Gforce2019:I knew someone would take bait. I'm not Igbo . The Nigerian curriculum should include this book Oil, Politics and Violence: Nigeria's Military Coup Culture. Several years after the coup yet some people don't know the truth. Nzeogwu was more Nigerian than any of his colleagues - and you tribalist. |

Odinakang:After Gowon released him, there was an official gazette to that effect by the Central government. Read and stop ignorance from traumatizing your brain. -Lion |

imam07:Did you see the face of any of these called Igbo coup plotters on your currency? No. So how did Murtalas face get on the N20 Naira after doing the same thing they did? |

AbaLion:Hahahahaha!!!! how totally ironic . Hitler would never have seen you as a human being. Yet you’re here calling him great. Great men led the people in war. They did not kill themselves. No warrior does that. |

imam07:Lol. Go and read Nigeria's history. The Nzeogwu coup was very different to the one that followed after. The northerners sought revenge for what they thought was an Igbo coup. |

PHIPEX:You are very wrong. There is nothing tribalistic about the topic. Tribalism comes up only when intolerant children of hate makes issues out of none issues just to pamper their low self esteem. Why can't people just read history and learn new things for the sake of knowledge rather than trying to re-write or recreate history just to favour their inadequacies? It is that simple. |

sweetrace:On the contrary, he would have as I ain't Jew. Calling him a great man would rather be subjective. Much as you differ, his kinsmen would hail his supreme Antisemitism & Pan- Germanism. He led his people in war but died at the brink. He would have been the world's supremo if his quest had succeeded just as Julius Caesar had wished. A list of Roman, Greek, & German Warriors committed suicide rather than being conquered by the enemies. Maybe the legendary of a man has changed in today's definition. -Lion |

imam07:But the Igbo coup plotters were all punished. Those that survived the civil war all served time in jail and were dismissed from the Army But Murtala, despite conducting his coup, which was far more bloody, was promoted, had airports named after him and was even honoured with his face on currency. Murtala did even far worse. Is it one rule for Northerners and another for Easterners? |

AbaLion:I deliberately refrained from commenting on this thread after something was brought to my notice by those that matters. You could have rant like a kid and make you silly point without mentioning my great Oba. The mud is meant for pigs like you and I won't be dragged down to your level of stupidity. Awo the idiotic criminal minded coupist maybe your god but to us he was nothing but a miserable frustrated tribalist and how he died was insignificant(rat poison, sniper,otapiapia idc) Go ask your progenitors the reason Midwest decided to go on their own. Also ask them if you have any where most resources that made the Western region tick came from. You dare mention my King,you son of many fathers from cursed generation of slaves and adulterous parents. |

AbaLion:Majority of his kinsmen walked around post war ashamed of the atrocities they had committed especially under the sickest mind that was hitlers. Hitler believed in the superrace. Even though he did not meet a single criteria of said superrace. The black race was the most inferior in his books. Hitler’s hatred for Jews was not because he saw them as inferior, but was for political and economical reasons. In fact, he felt inferior to the Jews even though some claim he had their blood in him. You see why I said he won’t have reckoned with you as human. Hitler is one of the most hated men in history for just reasons. He was a coward. Please stop aggrandizing him. His quest would never have become a reality because he was not a warrior in the first place. Other conquerors like Ceaser, Alexandra the great...conquered territories for expansion, for fame, for even riches, but never with Hitler’s depravity. |

Olawalesmarter:Adolf Hitler's dead body was never found because there was no DNA testing back in 1945. The only credible info on that matter is that Hitler and his top commanders fled to Argentina n lived out their lives there, thatsba smart tiger. The foolish fake pussy-tiger couldn't escape to British, rather he stayed back n killed himself. Suicide is the greatest tool of cowards |

AbaLion:Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu was a man who did a coup. Afonjas said he's an igbo man. Nzeogwu is from delta state. But wen it favours Afonja, they switch immediately that there are no IGBOS in delta. ![]() |
