Even Wikipedia had the same list until it was recently modified. I won't be surprised if it was done so by a Niggerian.

The word colonization there is colloquial... How possibly can you colonize a people within the same country?. People who have been held down for so so long and manages to get to their feet will do anything to ensure that they are not returned to where they triumphed from....get the meaning right please

You have to safeguard your heart from evil. An Igbo being the leader of the coup does not make the coup Igbo coup. First of all, the coup was stop by an Igbo man.
Secondly, the majority of the Jan 1966 coup plotter, was not Igbo, quote me any where.
Thirdly th e person send to eastern region had a cold feeg and did not carry the plan.
Fourthly l, Aguiyi Ironsi did not handle the coup plotter with a hard hand and that sent message that he was partial.
Lastly, Danjuma story is sketchy, no matter what is said or done and with his own story, you can see the bitterness and pain that a desk officer was incharge of him.
There is more to this story.

How many Igbos were killed in the January 1966 coup?
That's what determines if it was an Igbo Coup or not.

You killed Premier of the North and West, killed the Prime Minister also from the North but warned Azikiwe to stay away.

See, let me tell you. You Igbos can keep fooling yourselves that it wasn't an Igbo Coup but foreign governments saw through your wickedness and greed. That's why they refused to support you during the war.

This danjuma man is not smart at all. In his story he claimed that he arrested Ironsi, the commander within a few hours of some officers shooting some Igbo officers in Abeokuta. Who empowered him to arrest his superior? Just admit your part in the coup and stop telling shaft lies.

Did you read where he indirectly admitted that they bottled it up for six months?
I don't think he is exonerating himself from the counter coup! They planned it and waited for their chance!!! Just that humans react differently to things!
The said adjutant being part of the coup had other sinister ideas! He didn't want to play soft!!! He was for some reason madder and wanted to satisfy his anger!!!

How come you say unseen hands were determined to foist Fulani hegemony on Nigeria and at the same time 67% of Nigerian army officer's cader were Igbos. How would that have been possible?

If 67% of Nigerian army officer's cader we Igbos at that time, why weren't 67% of officers killed during the January coup Igbos?

Gowon, Danjuma and other northern soldiers retaliated only against Igbo officers, it was the northern masses that killed innocent Igbo civilians. Although you could accuse Gowon of not doing enough to stop the killings.

Igbos, their way of life, religion, and independence have always been greatest hindrance to British and Fulani colonization.
Today, Gowon, Danjuma, and other willing Middle Belters and Fulani sympathizers have seen the same light Igbos saw 60 years ago.

The first strike was when Sarduana ordered the commanding officer in Jos to violently put down a Tiv rebellion, the Igbo officer, Col. Anuforo refused the order at the risk of his own life and safety. How did Tivs pay back? Oh, by sending J.S Tarka to the US to falsely campaign against the Igbos just like Danjuma and Gowon(middle belters) were equally convinced to side with their mortal enemy the Fulanis against the protective Igbos.

Don't forget, Gowon was strategically made head of state, to appease the short sighted Middle belters, though he was not the most senior officer to occupy that position, it should have been Ogundipe, but Gowon was however the most easily influenced by the hidden Fulani hands--coming from all over desert west Africa and north Africa!
Till today, Gowon still could not even understand the bigger picture, just like Danjuma.

The coup did not go as planned, no question, and without making excuses for the people involved, I still want to know why it descended into murdering civilians in cold blood just because they answered Igbo names?

If you continue to make lame excuses for Gowon and his government being unable to stop the well planned "civilian" massacre of Igbos, then you're laying the foundation stone for the massacre of another tribe in the future.

My exact feelings towards Niggerians and Niggeria in general. My prayer is I never get my hands in any type of role or know a personal that controls any form of nuclear weaponry. If so occurs, I already know where I'll be "testing" it at.

If I am not mistaken, Danjuma hinted that Ironsi stopped the 1966 coup. And it is on records that Ojukwu was among the people who thwarted it coup. So what now makes it an Igbo coup if it was the thwarted by same Igbo!

While we wait for Gowon and Danjuma's official account of the coup, it's sad to see persistent distortion of history and abuse of common sense in this reasoning.

Labeling it Igbo coup was a long formulated Fulani plan to use people like Danjuma, even the adjunctant officer did not take control of events all by himself, he was following a plan, long designed by unseen hands determined to foist Fulani hegemony on Nigeria.

Of course the Igbos made their own mistakes, because they were never really organized as portrayed by unseen Fulani masterminds. If they were organized, why would some Igbo officers like Ojukwu be fighting the coupists, his own people?

If you had 67% of Nigerian army officer's cader as Igbos at that time, simple statistics would tell you that you couldn't have a coup without having majority of them identified as Igbos.

Nevertheless, there were Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, Tiv, Ijaw, Idoma, and Nupe officers involved in that coup, but it was easier to label it Igbo coup, especially after it failed in some parts of the country.

While history would forgive Gowon and Danjuma for retaliating against Igbo officers, God in heaven would never forgive these inept and mediocre officers for the massacre of helpless children, women, and old people simply because they were Igbos.

Whoever supported the genocide against Igbos, because of the coup allegedly planned by Igbo officers in 1966, should also support a genocide against Fulanis, because Fulani herdsmen have been actually terrorizing fellow Nigerians without any provocation today.
you nailed it.

Thank God these truth finally coming out. All Danjuma said were nothing but the truth infact he has no reason to lie he is a billionaire and a retired Lt General.

I came from a high raking millitary background pls I have secretly read things in millitary achives that shocked me. My own people from the East has done lot of horrible things during the younger days of Nigeria as a nation.

The killings of all non igbo senior army officer then by Igbo officers was 100% correct it happened pls let's stop pretending and be crying foul it happened no lie here I read it all.

More so the North that are the still angry with Igbos are well alive but the Igbos leave them and started waxing their anger on Yoruba who are absolutely innocent in all these mess. Moreso the way Ironsi ADC who is of Igbo extraction lied to look hero or to convince the hate filled igbo to think he is a superstar not known he is coward liar same way Ojukwu that suppose to apologise to the Igbo nation took a lie lane and placed the Yoruba people on his hate campaign to cover his failure.

Pls truth is bitter but it will set you free for a life time. These secret revealed to me make me not believing in any tribal hate because I knew those who created tribal hate from Igboland are liars.

I read things I can not say publicly it's so shocking and unbelievable. These are facts compiled so many years back with confirmation and I'm sure they will insult Danjuma because naturally my people have strong allergy to truth.

They don't like me and I don't give a
f u c k but the truth is I can not be deceiving myself ir supporting lies hate people who has not done any wrong ne No I won't.

I'm still trying to make out 1kb of sense from this gibberish that you just spewed out....you claim not to be a tribal bigot but your comment totally exposed your bigotry
