Murtala Mohammed was put on your N20 note, had Airports and highways named after him, even though his coup was far more brutal that of Kaduna coup

Nzeogwus coup killed less than 20 people, Murtalas coup killed over 300 people

Where are the Airports named after Nzeogwu? Or is it because he was an Igbo man? And not a Northerner like Murtala Mohammed?
tell us how muritala killed other regions leaders except his own or u want to tell us u don't know d difference between military coup( which involves killing soldiers in power irrespective of tribe so u can cease power) n killing targeted at other tribes to seek power n dominance over them

A fascinating story, but let’s dig deeper. What truly triggered this coup? Wasn’t its original intention to free Awolowo from prison and install him as prime minister? If so, why has history been distorted to present only one side of the story?

As usual, the one sides story seeks but to scapegoat the igbos. No one talks about another group of igbos led by Aguiyi Ironsi and Odumegwu Ojukwu that stepped in to restore government.

brainless pple always trying so hard to rewrite history to dre favour. Image talking Abt and intension base on rumour to d worst coupe in Nigerian history dat led to a civil war.

...and that singular act turned that particular ethinc group to, "a dot in a circle", making them, "merry-go-round" the seat of power from afar. Till date, nobody trusts them to near the seat of power.

Oh I see, Murtala Mohammed was honoured for killing over 300 people in his own coup by putting him on the N20 note, naming your busiest Airport after? Then you should have no problem with Nzeogwu. If Nzeogwu had been a Northerner, he might have been on the N10 note today

If their intentions was not to free Awolowo from the gulag and make him prime minister then why did they leave alive since every other political leader was killed.

y are u Igbos like this for crying out loud?

How many times have we laid that lie to rest that they wanted to free awolowo cos of d coup?

The coup was not about awolowo but Igbos greed for power, so if it was about freeing awolowo, y did nnamdi azikwe n ojukwu had issues about d war he embarked on?

Guy it's Igbos greed to have it all that led to d war n not trying to free awolowo

What's d relationship between awolowo n Igbos that Igbos will go out all their way to kill all those people simply because of one Yoruba man?

So u wanted to free awolowo but killed everyone aside from people from your tribe?

Guy u Igbos can't rewrite history
Are you not the one crying that igbos killed your slave masters? So how is it that igbos are crying when infact your are the one crying.

oga don't b stupid

Military coup is different from killing other people's leader so u can have power n dominate them

Military coup don't know tribe or best friend

Mamman vatsa was babanguda closest ally n even best man, when it was time for military coup he tried to kill him despite being allies

That's what military coup is all about n not tribal

In military coup u can kill your blood brother but we saw what u Igbos did by killing only those who dont belong to your tribe

U think d difference isn't clear right

No Igbo is crying here. What we’re witnessing is pure selective amnesia, FFK. You’ve conveniently jumped into the middle of the book, ignoring the critical beginning.

Let’s set the record straight: Awolowo was rotting in prison, serving time for treasonable felony—a lost cause in every sense of the word. Western Nigeria was under a state of emergency, chaos engulfed the region, and no one was weeping for him. Yet, here you are, fast-forwarding to a chapter where a group of military officers stepped in to restore order, conveniently skipping the blood-soaked prologue.

Even more hypocritical is your silence on Awolowo’s eventual forced suicide, a tragic culmination that elicited no national mourning. Or the thousands slaughtered during Operation Wetie, victims of unspeakable violence. Where were the tears then?

And now, you dare shed crocodile tears when soldiers tear each other apart but turn mute when the same horrors are inflicted on innocent civilians? Spare us the double standards. This is not selective memory—it’s deliberate hypocrisy. U see d problem with Igbos, de can't success on dre own, wen u give den chance de abuse it. Nigeria has learn with a hard price, and Igbo man can never rule dis country. Instead we go chose person from southsouth again. Brainless pple claiming wise, if Dem make small money d whole world go no. Many Hausa and Yoruba billionaires silently living dre life. Noisy nebor, abeg give Dem dre country make we rest.

who wants presidency or death today?

Who wants Biafra or death today?

Who are those people that shout secession today?

Who are those people whose so called freedom fighter's are locked up in different jails today?

Your answer to that shows those people who are crying

If you have problem with a bunch of igbo celebrities and show business people flaunting money on social media and you didn't have problem with show business people and American celebrities flaunting money on social media then you have some serious mental balance issues . An Igbo problem is the issue

And did you ask why Murtala Mohammeds coup killed no Northerner but killed Ironsi from the East, Fajuyi from the West and 300 other people from the South? Yet they put Murtala Mohammed on you N20 note to honour him for being a renowned coup plotter

probably if he didn't kill other people's leaders n leave only his own

He would have been honoured by now

1966 coupist lied to Nigerians that their intentions was to rid the country of corruption.

Why spare ozumba mbadiwe who was one of the most corrupt man under balewa government and killed ahmadu bello who was servicing a loan with a bank.

that's counter coup

If u Igbos didn't start it nobody will give it back to u, don't forget to every action there's an equal n opposite reaction

Fajuyi that was killed was more of a collateral damage cos if he wasn't killed alongside with his visitor it would look like a planned case
