And so.....

Dimkas coup resulted in a Obasanjo becoming military head of state, it was a Yoruba coup

How dense can you be? How can you termed Dimka's coup as a yoruba coup?for starters, how many yorubas were involved in the planning and execution of the coup? Compare with Jan 15th coup, where igbos were 80% (Conservative estimate ) coupists'list, one igbo victim and another Igbo man ostensibly "foiled the coup" and subsequently, took over power.

Secondly, the coup failed : Gowon was his ( Dimkas) choice to replace Murtala, with, and not Obasanj.

Thirdly, Obasanjo was a figurehead in that regime, yar adua was the "real power behind the throne." hence the reason why yar adua was given double promotions , in order to be Obasanjo's deputy.



Murtalas coup was a Hausa coup
That was a "palace" coup. Murtala is new in coup plotting in Nigeria.

Buhari's coup was a Fulani coup
Another palace coup.


Since you Nigerians honoured these coup plotters by naming Airports and landmarks after them, putting them on the Naira note and electing them President....


May be its time to honour the so called 'Igbo coup plotters' with the same courtesy. It is time to put them on the Naira, elect them as Presidents and name important national monuments after them

You know who should be directing
your asinine request, to? Fulani hegemony. Ask them to honour Nzeogwu for murdering their (fulanis) spiritual & political leader with such impunity. The true owners of Nigeria will never trust an Igbo man to be President of this amalgam after the "smartness" you exhibited in that dark period of the nation

What is good for the goose is also good for the gander

Mbanda:
yorubas are also affected in the recent demolitions. Stop saying what you don't know.

gidgiddy:
The problem is that this first coup is tye only one people like to talk about, ut is the only coup some people give ethnic tag. Why is that?

Yet this Nigeria, a country that loves to reward coup plotters.

Murtala Mohammed was an accomplished coup plotter, he has Airports, Highways and seminars named after him. He was even put on the 20 Naira note

The immediate past President, Buhari, participated in several coups and even led the coup that overthrew the democratically elected government of Shagari, yet he was elected President twice

Obasanjo seized power after Dimkas coup, he too was later elected twice as President. Was Dimkas coup then a Yoruba coup?

So it is funny that the same Nigeria that is honouring past coup plotters is still today calling out the first coup and giving it ethnic name

Mbanda:
Bini people owns lagos and that automatically made, Igbos owners of lagos because bini is related to Igbo.

gidgiddy:
If we use this criteria, then it means that:

Murtala Mohammeds coup was a Hausa coup

Dimkas Coup was a middle belt coup

Buharis coup was a Fulani coup

Babangidas coup was a Gwari coup

Abachas coup was a Kanuri coup

chiagozien:
Aworis tribe are not yoruba.

I don't know why you people keep attaching

haslaw:
January 1966 coup was 100% an Igbo coup.

1. Major Nzougbu was a man with an Igbo background who identified as Igbo. No only that, he believed and followed the Igbo agenda.

2. The coup succeeded in the south east as the plan of the coup plotters was not to kill Igbo leaders but to kill the leaders of Yorubas and the Hausas which they did.

3. Major Ademoyega was a Yoruba man who betrayed his own tribe. This is sometimes found when a family member goes to bring armed robbers to rob his own family. If such were to happen, the Police will still arest all of them as robbers

Raskimonojendor:
Enugu state

gidgiddy:
Nigeria cannot get better, no matter who is President

Not even Peter Obi?

goodnessme1:
Aworis tribe are the owners of Lagos not Yorubas.





You guys always want to attach by Force.

HardBishop:
Then never again shall a Yoruba man be in eastern politics.
the hatred line has been drawn

Igbos are the smartest Tribe in Africa.
