🗑️🚮 trash you definitely ✍️ write from the wrong side of your 🧠 brain.

Truth pain Yorubas.

OkCornel:
Because the vultures have sold that lie for decades and the masses have gullibly swallowed it up.

The real struggle is between the patriots and the sellouts.

Even if the nation splinters into ethnic groups, there are still sellouts ever ready to throw their neighbours under the bus, just to satisfy their greed.

Nigeria will never get better.

OkCornel:
And how has tribalism helped the masses from independence till date?

While the vultures put aside their differences to loot the common wealth of the masses 🤷

it's simple because we're not one and can never be one.

Afonja2:
Idiot.

Must you talk when you don't know what you are saying?

Simple question:
Was it IBB that jailed Tinubu?
Big No
It was Abacha.
So, how can Babangida be Tinubu Tomentor-in-chief?

Me idiot?



Do you think I am your father?





Who killed adekule Fajuyi?

Lifestone:
I read the entire piece and it represented the account of the ADC. The context is no different from what we know already.

So what account Said Fajuyi was Ironsi bullets proof?

Bayo Onanuga trying to change the narrative.


This was how Yorubas and it Lagos ibadan gutter media lied that Adekunle Fajuyi sacrificed himself for Ironsi.

A lie Yorubas have told for long is he died defending Ironsi.

But the fact is Northerners killed Fajuyi together with Ironsi,instead of Yorubas to confront Hausafulanis for killing their brother, they changed the narrative that fajuyi asked Northerners to kill him too.

Does that even make sense?



But assuming it was Igbo soldiers that killed him, will you people believe he asked the Igbo soldiers to kill him?


Won't Yoruba ask questions like, even if he said you should kill him, must you kill him.




Ev!il things that used Lagos ibadan gutter media to write rubbish to portray themselves as good and change every narration to suit them.

Lifestone:
Dey deceive yourself. All accounts of the events including those from Danjuma confirmed that he opted to go to wherever his guests is taken to. He took the bullet for Ironsi. The irony of it is that Igbos have failed to acknowledge this.

No be only bullet for Ironsi,he also took bomb for him

Fajuyi that was killed together with Ironsi, you changed the narrative because you are afraid of north.


This story was told by none other than the ADC to General Aguiyi Ironsi himself, Captain (Now Senator) Andrew Nwankwo. It shows how the Northerners murdered Lt. Colonel Francis Adekunle Fajuyi and his host, Ironsi. It also shows that they lied to the Yoruba nation that Fajuyi was killed accidentally while defending Ironsi. His murder was covered up by the north in order not to make the west suspicious of their agenda. Read on.

How Ironsi was killed, by his ADC

Senator Andrew Nwankwo from the Izzi clan in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, was a captain in the Nigeria Air Force before the January 1966 coup that made way for Major General J. T. U Aguiyi Ironsi to emerge as Head of State.
He became Ironsi’s Aide-De-Camp through the recommendation of Brigadier George Krubo who was then in-charge of the Air Force and subsequently supervised the late Head of State’s security.

Capt. Andrew Nwankwo (rtd) said he was to die with his boss, but for fate. He was present when both Ironsi and Fajuyi were shot dead.

Tracking the 61-year-old former ADC down in his one story building residence in Abakaliki was not as difficult as getting him to recall the events that led to the death of his master 38 years ago.
He would start by taking you down memory lane when he served as a courier to late Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, "I was manning the octopus-a helicopter that carries 105 artillery gun and six other machine guns.

"So when Ethiopia was at war with Somalia in 1964/65 we formed the defence group of the emperor, we also formed an attack force. When the emperor is going to the frontline to see what is happening, we ring him round to clear the way for him".
It was part of these that Ironsi saw and handed over his security to the young captain. "It was cool working with Ironsi, he understood everything about what I should do because he had commanded the UN forces in Congo, and that exposed him to the type of people he needed".

The coup
Recalling the events of that night, July 29, 1966, Nwankwo noted that they were in Ibadan, "we had a small detachment of 106 Artillery, Commanded by one Walbe from Plateau"
The Head of State had the previous day hosted traditional rulers from all parts of the country in the Ibadan Government House. "He wasn’t feeling quite well, he had a knee problem and had to go to bed early.

"Lieutenant Sanni Bello was the army ADC, and we were very close. So, we left that night to go and look out and came back late. Lt. Adamu who was the ADC to Fajuyi, Sanni Bello, Walbe and myself, we all slept together in one room that night".
"At about 4a.m the telephone rang, I picked it up and that was Adeola, the then commissioner of police, Ibadan he said he wanted to speak with Ironsi, I said I was the ADC, he said he wanted to speak with him because there was a coup and he gave me some names Orok and two others that had been killed in

Abeokuta.
"Immediately, I made a mental picture of it, and I knew that it was the northerners that were responsible. So, I handed the phone to Ironsi and they talked. I then alerted Adamu and Sanni Bello and said look, there is a coup and the trend is this way.

"Bello assured me that if it is his own people he will protect me, because, there was tension in the land such that we knew a coup was imminent. So, we agreed to protect each other depending on where it will be coming from. I later discovered that Walbe who was sleeping with us was part of the coup; he later became ADC to Gowon.

"Around 5:30 we heard gunfire, then Ironsi had called Col. Njoku to tell him about the coup. As Njoku was going out, he was short at, but he escaped with bullet wounds. It was Njoku, who was the commander of Lagos Garrison that alerted others outside the Government House, Ibadan.
"Fajuyi later sent me outside the government House to find out what was happening. I met Danjuma, who was then a major and he was my friend. He pretended he didn’t know what was happening, he was asking me, and I said I didn’t know. While I was trying to go back, one sergeant from Benue almost shot me, but Danjuma stopped him and spoke to him in Hausa. Danjuma later told me that he would like to see Ironsi, so that he could tell them what to do.

"It was then that Fajuyi came out to find out what was holding me, and there inside the Government House Danjuma ordered for his arrest and mine too. That was when I saw Walbe. Then Fajuyi asked me to take him to Ironsi so that they will obey him, that there should be only one person in charge. So, I took them to Ironsi, and major Newman, immediately he saw Ironsi, he seized his crocodile swagger stick, and then they started asking him about the January coup, he said he didn’t know about it that he only agreed to be Head of State so that he can restore confidence and normalcy. It was immediately they arrested Ironsi that they turned violent".

The road to the valley of death
They marched us down, Ironsi and myself, to where Fajuyi was. They used telephone cable to tie my hands behind and my legs, with a little space to walk. Same they did to Ironsi, but they removed his shirt, he wore only trousers, they also tied Fajuyi. Ironsi was in a Land Rover, Fajuyi in a mini bus and myself in another bus. They drove us towards Iwo Road, 10 km from Ibadan, there was a small forest were they stopped, marched us to the right hand side of the bush, Fajuyi was leading and as he tried to cross a small stream, he fell down, the soldiers were unruly, it appeared some of them had for the first time taken Indian hemp, so when he fell down some of them started beating him.

My escape
As Fajuyi fell down and they were beating him, Sanni Bello came to me and tapped me and said, we could do something now. It was providence, may be I was not destined to die. I took a few steps from them and jumped into a nearby ditch, all in a split of a second, Bello came and stood by the ditch and was shouting that I had escaped pointing at another direction. So the soldiers ran around that direction shooting into the bush, and when they felt they must have killed me, they shot Fajuyi and then Ironsi there, by the side of the stream. So Bello made sure that he was the last to leave the place.
The ADC, who was later elected senator in 1983 stated that the former Head of State could have escaped if not that he wanted to make sure that there was no bloodshed. He said if he sacrificed his life and prevented bloodshed in Nigeria, it’s better for him. Even his chaplain urged him to escape but he said No. Also many of his officers who were contacted instead of taking action ran away.
The ADC denied the prevailing story that Ironsi was tied to a Land Rover and dragged along the road. He maintained that he saw Ironsi and Fajuyi shot dead. "They shot him on the chest and it was a burst, so he would have died after the first shot".

The crocodile staff
It was a swagger stick, which he made after his name Aguiyi (crocodile). It was in the Congo, when he was commanding the United Nations Forces, the Indian troops were to land at the Lumumbashi Airport but the Cameroon gendarmes went and blocked the place with trucks, so that the Indian soldiers will not land, so, he used a Land Rover and with the stagger stick waved as they were shouting, he was eventually able to convince them to remove the trucks. Many attributed that feat to extraordinary powers in his swagger stick. But there was nothing in it, it was just a stick. Ironsi was not fetish; he was a devoted Catholic and attended mass every morning, even the day he was killed. ***** This Interview was culled from www.sunnewsonline.com

ElSudani:
Changed what narrative as how? The Ibo coup of January 1966 is not the same as the July 1966 by Northerners.

The 1966 awolowo coup is not the same with northern coup.



I know was counter coup, and it was on that northern coup that they killed Francis Adekunle Fajuyi a yoruba soldier and first military governor of the former Western region.

OkCornel:
Nigerians don’t understand the choices before them.

1) Engage in tribalism and die poor OR
2) Engage in nationalism and improve your standards of living.

Time to focus on the things that unite us and hold those bloody vultures subjecting the masses to hardship and poverty!

Nigerians have no business with hardship!

Wake up!

No Nigerian is a nationalist.


And again nothing Unites us.

If there's any mention it.




If you are talking about something that unite Yorubas and Hausafulanis,then it is only hatred for Igbos that unite them, nothing again.

If there's another, mention it.

ElSudani:
Both are actually true, these are not lies. If Babangida's book is your evidence then I have a railway station to sell to you in Abuja.

Nothing concern IBB book here.



Just stating the fact and truth.




Fajuyi was killed together with Ironsi by northern soldiers, But Yorubas changed the narrative.

I don't know if they're afraid of north or something.

Christistruth02:
Gen Ironsi’s son was in the Govt house with them when Gen Ironsi and Fajuyi were taken away.

Fajuyi’s half sister was also there

Ooh is no more ironsi wife was there as one of Your Yoruba brother said somewhere.👇👇

And I thought the claim is Ironsi was a guest to Fajuyi home, the reason Fajuyi said he can't allow Northern soldiers to take his visitor?

Chai too many lies by Yorubas.

Tinubuadvocate:
There's a side effects to everything this might consume your ass.Go and listen to ironsi wife interview and other people that present at that time.

Christistruth02:
It is you that cannot stand the Truth

Which truth Ronu man?


You are afraid to confront Hausafulanis, you now claim your brother asked them to kill him.



Going by your yoruba logic,all those killed during the 1966 coup all asked soldiers that came around their home to killed them.

OkCornel:
A detribalised Nigerian, just like Arthur Unegbe and John Obienu.

Nationalism above tribalism.

What made him a detribalised Nigerian?



And Who killed him?

Kdon2:
Ibos always deceitful

Igbos are not Yorbas.

fickleawolowo:
They are not good at anything except propaganda, such an evil minded people, spit

The worse to happen to ev!il things is social media.




People now make research and ask questions, Lagos ibadan gutter media no longer determine what the public read and believe.

fickleawolowo:
Then tell us what happened?

He will tell you Fajuyi sacrificed himself for Igbo man



Lolz just imagine oba of Lagos sacrifice himself for Igbo man.

Scammers everywhere in waste

Kdon2:
From long ago, ibos encourage evil

Yorbas propagating lies and changing the narrative to suit them.

Tinubuadvocate:
There's a side effects to everything this might consume your ass.Go and listen to ironsi wife interview and other people that present at that time.

Ooh Ironsi wife was present at Fajuyi House?


And the northern soldiers killed Ironsi their target, leave Ironsi wife and killed Fajuyi?



There's no length you people can't go to continue propagating lies

Tinubuadvocate:
This what you will pass to your children right .

Yes better than lie from Yorubas changing history to suit their ev!il agenda

Lifestone:
It won't make sense to you for obvious reason. You people throws your guest under the bus.

Come up with another lie,this one is stale already

Lifestone:
We should ask Danjuma. He died protecting Aguyi Ironsi

A lie Yorubas have told for long is he died defending Ironsi.

But the fact is Northerners killed Fajuyi together with Ironsi,instead of Yorubas to confront Hausafulanis for killing their brother, they changed the narrative that fajuyi asked Northerners to kill him too.

Does that even make sense?



But assuming it was Igbo soldiers that killed him, will you people believe he asked the Igbo soldiers to kill him?


Won't Yoruba ask questions like, even if he said you should kill him, must you kill him.




Ev!il things that used Lagos ibadan gutter media to write rubbish to portray themselves as good and change every narration to suit them.

Francis Adekunle Fajuyi born on 26 June 1926 and killed on 29 July 1966.


He was a Nigerian soldier of Yoruba origin and the first military governor of the former Western region.

I blame Gowon for stopping the war. If only he had continued. Your animal tribe would have been history today like the dinosaurs.

And you think yeye tribe can face Easterners without support of Britain and North?

This one Nigeria security didn't tagged them ipob, because every criminal in East is ipob just to paint them black.






Ooh one confirmed zombie have mentioned ipob above my comment.

The yoruba man that made that statement "police is your friend" supposed be in Gaza dodging Israel missiles.
