Stubborn Seun. This new Nairaland is bullshit.Listen to us for once. Nonsense

Following the failure of the coup, Anufuro who hails from Imo State was initially detained in Lagos, moved to Ilesha, and then Benin. After the counter coup, a unit of troops from the 4th battalion at Ibadan on August 16, 1966, less than one month after General Yakubu Gowon took over as Nigerian Head of State, stormed the Benin Prison, took him away and later shot him along the Benin- Ore road. Before his death, he kept in touch with his wife, Henrietta through series of letters in which he, among other things wrote about, justified his involvement in the coup.

“I want to let you know that I gave full thought to what happened and I hope you do realize that this country was more than rotten. Now I may die any day from now but I do NOT care for that” he wrote in his letter dated 17th January, 1966.
For scholars who have always maintained that Anuforo, Nzeogwu and Ademoyega were genuine nationalists contrary to the tribal impression the failed coup continue to generate, the deceased proved them right.

“I have lived much of my life and I am prepared to suffer and die for our country and our people”, Anuforo stated. He was so concerned for one of his aide, a northerner, Yakubu. He said he was looking forward to retaining him if the authorities had released or pardoned him.
In his 21st February, 1966 letter, Anuforo asked his wife to find out if Yakubu was still being paid. “If not send him some money to travel to where he likes – Kaduna or his home but let him write you regularly”, he instructed.
Insisting that he was proud of what he and his colleagues did, describing it as a national duty, Anuforo asked for prayers for “continued peace in the country”.

Apparently a tough military officer even in the way he handled his family matters as his letters revealed, Anuforo showed greater concern for the fate that would befall his mother, wife and children than the obvious peril that waited for him. He directed his bank to send his wife £60 monthly and gave specific instructions on the education and health of his children.

One of his family members declined to speak on the letters when contacted.
It is important to note that Major Anuforo’s letters were written from prison, routed through the Ministry of Defence, through which his wife was urged to send her reply, indicating a more civil prison atmosphere than the seeming garrison posture of today’s prison authorities, that make postal services between prisoners and their relations almost impossible.

However, Anuforo’s wife died in 1996 without making any public statement on the traumatic period when her husband was incarcerated and later murdered on a highway by soldiers. The secret, dreadful letters Anuforo sent from prison in 1966, gave a clearer insight into the doggedness, the iron-cast will of the masterminds of the first military coup, their lofty dreams and raw love for their fatherland.

Shut up your putrid mouth and consult well-informed history books. What did Nzeogwu do differently from what Ifeajuna and Onwuatuegwu did which made them psychos and Nzeogwu sane?

Again Olodo, While Nzeogwu wanted a Revolution, Ifeajuna wanted POWER! He was so power drunk that he even tried to topple Ojukwu's government of the defunct Biafra.

So my friend, respect yourself and keep shut!

You are very ignorant my friend!

Let me school you!!!!
When Nzeogwu was interviewed, he apologized over some unnecessary deaths of some officers citing over zealousness and incompetence of some officers.(If u know your history APE, then you should know one of the officers that left a loose end and the one that went on a killing spree. (including killing an officer and his wife in their bedroom).

Lest i forget fool! Go and read up how Maimalari was killed.

oduasolja:
the coup was still tribalised.

It wasnt! the worst mistake Nzeogwu made was working with psychos like Ifeajuna and Onwuatuegwu. The young man wanted a REVOLUTION but some of his partners wanted something else,POWER!

If it was a planned Igbo coup, how come an Igbo officer foiled it? and how come Colonel Unegbe was shot point blank when he refused to give up the keys to the arsenal? ANSWERS PLEASE!

Is this a Scam exercise? cuz its there on their website. I need clarification on that before my cousin is scammed.

My cousin just called me up to verify the authenticity.I logged on to the their website and lo and behold, the information was clear. Can someone pls tell me if the whole exercise is a scam.

ccollins:
Umu ndi igbo,if i hear say una talk oneness for this country but go to conspire and celebrete a man who left d igbos in misery today and becos of him,we haven't got an igbo president.this my factual submission and i say it again that ojukwu has done more harm than good to the ibos

slowpoke!!!!!

lmfao! Are these people not tired of fooling themselves? Buncha clowns  

RuuDie:
DW19 is just not good or mature enough. . . . .even O'shea has better judgement - the boy is just a waste of space

You are joking right? Danny's got great potential and is doing quite well 4 a striker of his age. He just needs to work on his positioning and finishing and then, there comes another Andy Cole.

Real Mccoy:
From a topic of such, a blind man could tell that Africans are lazy and very envious of others. Very classless individuals ,sometimes I wonder if people that post bigot thread on NL are 2years old. He,Ojukwu has made his own contribution to uplift the greatness of his people,what have you done for yours? Same vultures that helped the Brit and Fulani military men slaughter innocent lives  are here displaying their ignorance. The day I will see your tribes men pick up arms to defend themselves, I will remove their name from the coward dictionary. Pretenders,always playing dead when the chips are down . Same idiots that will play dead when they hear the sound of bomb blast 250miles away are online beating their chest.

Stop wasting ur time y brother, we know them too well. BUNCH OF E-WARRIORS! bloody cowards

@Op

Its true, he was initiated alongside Mr Ibu and Zeburudaya.

buy4me:
You now see who has more authentic information: Becos am in thesame forum with you don't make us mates. did you get the breaking news?

that's how doubting thomas like you perish out of pointless argument Olosi!

Stop replying that retard.He's a confirmed slowpoke.

STFU mallam. One Nigeria will soon be part of history.Oil a curse? am sorry for you.

cap28:
you like talking trash.

where is your evidence that he was responsible for lockerbie and the berlin discotheque bombing - let me guess - cnn, al jazeera and the bbc? - i laugh.

are you aware that the father of one of the passengers on the lockerbie plane categorically stated that libya had nothing to do with that bombing? why would he say something like that?

also why was al megrahi the accused released by a scottish court the minute was testify at the hague?

the way the west demonised Qadaffi is the same way they are going to demonise nigeria over boko haram (actually the western media have already started doing this) - you will be suprised when you start reading the western media's account of what is going on in nigeria, as you will find out that 99.9% will be exaggerated distortions of the true picture.

So what if Qadaffi's son's lived in luxury - at least the people of libya were not living on $1 a day or experiencing an unemployment rate of almost 50% like in nigeria.

Look at your leader Goodluck Jonathan spening N1billion on food when majority of nigerians can't even afford one decent meal a day.

@Cap28

Brother stop wasting your time on brainwashed morons.

kodewrita:
Stuff it.he's dead.

whatever the reasons, there's one less potentate in the world.

Yeah he is dead, but Libya is still at war and the people have turned against the NTC leadership. My friend use your head.

Resignation ko, Designation ni! Yeah, he will resign in 2015. nonsense

mama-gee:
[color=deeppink]They are only wasting their precious time!

Gaddafi is gone and his 42 yrs of tyrannical rule has gone with him. . .

This is the time for all libyans to come together as one and bring the change they fought for.[/color]

And who told you Libyans fought for that? FYI, mo than 50% of Libya's population love Gaddafi and thats why there will never be peace in Libya cuz they are ready to shed their blood for Gaddafi.

tpia@:
I thought all that was over @ topic.

Over? this is just the beginning.

Jonathan: We are on top of the situation and will do our best to fish out the perpetrators.
