Idiko1:
You are either intellectually lazy or expertly copyist. The duty to arrest Ironsi fell in the hands of Major Don Okafor.

Deadlytruth:
I have read an account of how they assigned the targeted figures to one another at the planning stage and I didn't see where they assigned anyone to Adegoyega to kill. I have always said it that Adegoyega was the biggest fool in the whole plot. As if that was not enough he went about writing the book "Why we struck" to mitigate his fall for such cheap play on his intelligence.

Queeeeeen:
This is what happens when Fulani gives you a governor. Sometimes I wonder how his likes sleep after selling out their people. You kill your brothers for a stranger's satisfaction. Tufiakwa!

SmartPolician:
Huncle, don't be deceived - Nigeria cannot split through deliberations and negotiations. The reason is that the beneficiaries of the dysfunctional system will never let that happen. That's why any call for referendum or secession is perceived as a call for war.

christistruth01:
At the time Azikiwe wrote that Telegram to Gen Ironsi ,Dipcherma of Borno State was still the acting head of the Government and Gen Ironsi hadn't even taken power yet

Gen David Ejoor also said he got to know that Ironsi was Part of the Coup because his deputy had been told to take over the Enugu battalion since Ejoor would not be returning

Ejoor was supposed to have been assasinated at Eko Holiday inn but the Coup plotters went to shoot up the wrong room
Col Largema was shot dead in the same Hotel

Col Fajuyi was also supposed to have been killed but he slept at a Friend's house

Gowon would have been killed with Col Pam at his house but he too had gone elsewhere to sleep at the last minute

Col Bassey at Kaduna was also on the list of those to be killed but he got wind of the plan at the last minute and managed to escape dressed as an Hausa Civilian

Col Bassey was 3 years Ironsi's Senior Officer but Azikiwe had used Politics to delay Basseys Promotion while accelerating Ironsi's own otherwise Bassey Of Calabar was meant to be head of the Army as he was the most senior Officer at Independence in 1960

Op I know this is sarcasm. I understand because of my intuition. However those who cause problem in the north the Imams and their likes will read this out tomorrow in their mosque and they will start to attack innocent southerners living in their midst. Please let's be careful with words and reason how it will be understood across board.

Gbagura:
The OP is a flat headed nyanmiri that's hell bent on dividing Yoruba internally and externally with the north. They don't know that no matter how hard they try to divide us, we shall keep getting stronger.

95% of Yoruba families have either Muslim or Christian and there's been no fight. Muslims eat Xmas chicken and Christians eat salah ram. [b]Yorùbá is the only religion tolerant tribe in Nigeri[/b]a.

Na envy wan kill àwọn ọmọ nna.

BigSarah:
Those must be the northerners listening to radio Biafra and koiki

helinues:
Those who are proud of being a Nigerian would still continue to be proud.

Yeah so we are proud

helinues:
Buhari is only a president. We are proud of Nigeria

oilyngbati:
The op is an Ipob terrorist bingo and this useless message should be directed to his fellow brainless Ipob terrorists.
The Igbo should seek for the presidency like others,

gentiles:
The split was not amicable, the old man betrayed his colleagues in the struggle. Have you heard the response from the other guys?

gentiles:
Why did he agree to join the group in the first place, a man of his age should have done proper scrutiny before joining them, his withdrawal at this point only confirms what most people say about the Yoruba's been weak, cowardly and treacherous. This is betrayal. Full stop.

Abdul05:
l see that many times but what pains me most is that....


despite all what the north did to them..t[b]hey ibos prefer the north than the Yoruba[/b]

PROUDIGBO:
I beg to differ! You’re correct to the extent that your assertion applies to only the Igbo and Yoruba as major ethnicities! If the Hausa-Fulani leave tomorrow, i wager Nigeria would still survive! In fact, i’d go out on a limb and declare that Nigeria would even thrive better and be a more cohesive unit and nation if the Hausa-Fulani are taken out of the equation!

vanbonattel:
Some people get bad mouth

Na Small small .... E go reach everybody .

Emergingnation1:
Stop leaving in the past glory..... Yoruba can't survive outside Nigeria today..... Even terrorist Gumi recognized that....

Emergingnation1:
Keeping decieving yourself..... Yaruba's can't survive outside Nigeria.......

ObiOfOnitcha:
This is the same mentality they have then but see now, Nigeria is still standing after 50 years of senseless war

uduokirika1:
Why did you omit the famous cross-carpeting by Awoo that introduced owambe politics in Nigeria?

greatermax77:
When and where did you do this?

IamWonderful:
You want to compare the killing in the south east with the south west? I don't seems to understand your comment because the killing in the south east is over 10000% of the south west

IamWonderful:
Humiliation? kid keep your pity to your pocket, Yoruba is the presently 2nd and 4rd in the present government and the strongest political man in Nigeria as of today that cut across everywhere is a Yoruba man, just pity how inconsequential and irrelevant you are to today's politics, see how buhari have been debasing you and humiliating you everywhere without consequence, he arrested kanu nnamudi and place in jail like monkey , all you can do is shout
