Nigeria is an ethnic country.

This won't favour the northerners.

You want to send IPOB terrorists to him abi. God not go make your plan work.

Creamypie:
come see as them dey rush commot in thousands go buy lands, build houses in delta state. One thing av noticed about easterners. Them dey stubborn when u warn them, but run to your place to live when they face consequences of their actions, and don't like it if u tell them truth Of their region. Na them still carry break up of delta for head, jumping like frogz, while even we southerners are not aware of any plan to add south to east

You know them too well.

Coldie:
Even after the coup was stopped, if it was an igbo coup, since Igbos were the majority in the army as at then, y then did Major Aguiyi ironsi, surround himself with northern soldiers, if really it was an igbo agenda, won’t he surround himself with igbo officers?

The counter coup came, it was karma, do me I do you, but the following actions I think is part of what sealed Nigeria’s coffins. Nigeria owe the igbo tribe an apology, no matter how much everybody tries to deny or say otherwise.

The counter coup came, ok it’s the vengeance of the people avenging their leaders, you have killed igbo leaders and prominent men in power like igbo did yours. It didn’t stop there these people went on to start killing Igbos on the streets everywhere they could find them, alot of Igbos escaped many parts of Nigeria back to the east, no doubts northerners were killed in the east too as retaliation. What is the relationship between the easterner selling in a shop trying to feed his family and what happened in the military barracks. How Nigeria died and many nonsense started:


The reason for the first coup is explained above from my findings: the reason for the counter coup doesn’t have any reasonable explanation apart from revenge. After ironsi was killed the were to appoint a new military head as the law says, but they put the law aside and appointed a junior officer over a senior officer, ojukwu was against this, you would think ojukwu being against this is because he is supposed to be the one appointed, the answer is NO. The person that was the next ranking person after Ironsi was a westerner, they jumped over him and others and appointed Gowon who was a junior officer to them as at then. This here was what started Nigeria’s era of nepotism, where people’s rise in government isn’t done by merit but based on you coming from certain tribe or region. As the went on we went on to start seeing cases where someone who is illiterate would hold prominent government offices responsible for very important matters simply because of the tribe or region they come from.


The civil war came, we know the story, I won’t talk much in that, with my research I want to address what I found out on why the Biafran forces marched towards the west. The major reason was to capture the Nigerian capital and that was all, cause as time went on alot of people talked about how Biafra tried to invade the west.

1. Ibos were not the only people in the army, all the counter coup consisted of Northern military officers 😂

2. Ironsi surrounded himself with his kinsmen after the coup.
At the early stage of his tenure, he appointed a three-man advisory team made up of Chief Francis Nwokedi, a Permanent Secretary, Dr. Pius Charles Nwabafor Okigbo (1924-2000) and Colonel Patrick Anwunah, who later became Chairman and Head of the Orientation Committee at that time.

He replaced the then Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Dr. Taslim Olawale Elias (1914-1991) with Chief Gabriel Chike Michael Onyiuke (SAN), former Director, Public Prosecution, Eastern Nigeria (1960-1965) from Nimo in the present Anambra state.

3. Out of the 22 killed in the coup, only 1 was Ibo. The premier of the eastern region Michael okpara was even spared unlike the premiers of the west and north that were murdered.

4. The handing over of the government to Ironsi by Orizu (the acting president and the senate president who could have called for the formation of another civilian government).

5. The unification decree of May 1966 promulgated by Ironsi, leading to the abolition of regional system of government - Historically speaking, the West and North have always believed in the regional system of government as the best form of government for a multiethnic like Nigeria, however this was taken away by Ironsi, leading to a massive outrage and pogrom in the North. Unification decree favoured the ibos as they don't stay in their region like the others.

6. The coup plotters were kept in Jail but weren't sentenced to death.

You people should stop trying hard to revise history.

gidgiddy:
Back in the 60's and 70's, military coups were common place. Every country in West Africa, with the exception of Cameroun, has military coup. Military coups still happen in Africa to this day

Nigeria had 7 military coups. But what I find funny is that the only coup some people remember is the January 1966 coup. It is the only coup that they gave ethnic tag

In contrast, Nigeria has honoured participants of other coups

Murtala Mohammed led a coup in that same 1966, not only did his coup not get ethnic tag, Murtala Mohammed was put on the N20 Naira note, had Airports, Highways and buildings named after him. His coup claimed over 300 lives

Coup plotters like Muhammadu Buhari, who overthrew the democratically elected government of Shagari, was elected President twice

Obasanjo who became military dictator due to the Dimka coup, and participated in Murtala Mohammeds second coup, was elected President

Nigeria has a long history of honouring coup plotters, they only remember that coup is bad when January 1966 coup is mentioned

Murtala's coup consisting of Northern soldiers including Buhari, Abacha, Babangida, Danjuma and many others was a retaliation of the earlier coup in the same year consisting of majorly Ibo officers Nzeogwu, Ifeajuna, Anuforo e.t.c

The ship has sailed. His release won't stop the killings and unrest in the SE. It would make it worse. There would be at least 3 factions - Nnamdi Kanu's, Simon Ekpa's, and Chinasa nworu's. Just like Boko Haram now has several factions. As you make your bed, so you must lie in it.

What kind of animals hit a children hospital. Shey na children offend Putin.

Naija

He could not even save his own labour party. Anambra too, he failed.

The last man she talked about fled to Ivory coast dressed like a woman.

yarimo:
Waste of resources

He is one of the agulu fraud's disciple. He still can't beat the gbajue's 400 vehicles gifts to igwes though.

Ps: Reno has a challenge for Obidients.

Ekpa, the prime minister of IPOB and Ibos.

Yoruba owns Kano.
Sanusi's daughter is married to a Yoruba prince, Bayero's is Tinubu's boy 😂

BeardedMeat:
fourth class kings, they harm nobody.

The Obi Onitsha is of Bini ancestry abi that one na 4th class too?

Chinkoalhaji34:
Looks like Obi can't even keep his hypocrisy in check, maybe he should stick to counting his millions instead of making failed political statements.

That's because he was so bad when he was a governor, that you would find an example for all different type of failures.

Igbofirstson:
let me prove you wrong again

Gbajue like Peter Obi, thats a 60th anniversary re-enactment.

This picture was taken in 1989.

BeardedMeat:
Tinubu should go and depose fulani in Ilorin.

After ibos depose all the igala kings in Enugu , Anambra and Ebonyi.

He basically said nothing.

Pig Obi is an hypocrite.
