The list of the core plotters above is not accurate. Below are the names of the guys that actually plotted the coup as provided by Police special branch :

Major Emmanuel Arinze Ifeajuna,
Major Chukwuemeka Kaduna Nzeogwu,
Major Chris Anuforo,
Major Tim Onwutuegwu,
Major Chudi Sokei,
Major Adewale Ademoyega,
Major Don Okafor,
Major John Obieno,
Captain Ben Gbuli,
Captain Emmanuel Nwobosi,
Captain Chukwuka
Lt. Oguchi.

The leader of the coup was Major Emmanuel Ifeajuna and not Kaduna Nzeogwu.

The Nzeogwu theory of Igbo coup nor work again 😁😁😁😁😁
To now make it work,let's change Nzeogwu to Ifejuana 🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣

See the people who claimed tgey are looking for Southern yoonity grin grin grin

The only thing they know about our neigbours is to tell lies, deceit & propaganda against our brothers from the East.

Rewriting history so that the Northerners will hate our brothers since the Northerners have sworn that Tinubu must be taught a lesson in 2027.

This is what LΓΆw breeds are known for, deceitfully thinking that when they tell lies about our formidable brothers from the East, the Northerners will forgive Tinubu & supporrt him in 2027

What you are seeing on Nairaland today with the Revision of history is a calculated attempt by these Set of creatures to Northerners to find a way of diminishing the heat which the Northerners are planning against Tinubu.

They have seen that my our people from the SS & SE, MB, & presently the North are all against Tinubu returning in 2027, so the only way to build bridges with Northerners to to go back in 1966 to tell lies & rewrite history.

grin grin
My brother,nor be small thing o....this people are irredeemable!!!!

The north is not a good alternative at all but some people might have no choice but to align with them in kicking out these abomination people,no matter the cost! It's just so unfortunate.


See how people hate peace!!!!

Mr, this idea of demonizing,tribalizing issues against our brothers & sisters from the East is stale & dead stale.

Why should anyone sane human tribalize a coup. If you want to attach the 1966 coup, what tribal affiliations will you call the subsequent coup in Nigeria.?

Why was other coup in Nigeria not tribalized ?

If you are a sane human you should answer that questions first

The only thing constant in Nairaland since Tinubu snatched & grabbed is the demonic, tribal attacks against our neigbours the Igbos.

There is the Oputa , if you are actually interested on how the coup was tagged "an Igbo coup" gibt watch it.

Yet nobody keeps of the people killed during the July 1966 coup.

Nobody keeps of the people killed during the civil war.

Nobody keeps of the other coups organised by people from one section of the country.

Let the hate continue!


There is nothing like hatred, the igbo leaders started it.

As usual, igbos are fond of starting what they cannot finish.

I am a Yoruba

Now to the issue of coward

Let me take u down memory lane n after everything we all will know who is d coward between yorubas n Igbos

3 million Igbos were killed like fowls n still nothing happened, Nigeria moved on.

As if that wasn't enough see how Buhari nearly exterminate u Igbos with

Python dance
Crocodile tears
Still waters
Golden dawn n co with each operation killing at least 500 Igbos n nothing happened.

What did u Igbos do?

When every region needed presidency they brought different ideas n they were given n Igbos brought their n they were beaten

Yoruba brought OPC b had presidency
South south brought militants n had presidency
North brought boko haram n had presidency
Igbos brought ipob n get killed n all their children locked up without any repercussions

See how other tribes are handled b how u Igbo cowards are handled

Imagine wike slapped a whole tribe in broad daylight by rigging election n nothing happened, he even went on live TV to call u social media tribe n nothing happened

Imagine a PDP man dealt with Igbos n he got rewarded by APC, he was rewarded for dealing with Igbos.

Imagine all other warlords of different regions were made kings n given contracts but only Igbo warlords are jailed

Asari dokubo is now a king
Ayiri is now a king
Tompolo had a multibillion naira contract
Gani Adams had a multibillion naira contract

But nnamdiot kanu n ekpa are in different prisons

Oya tell me who the cowards are?
Yes three million peoole of our dearest brothers & sisters where murdered & I pray that there innocent souls will rest in peace. Infact there souls are actually resting in the peace.

As a real Nigga from the ND I must have died with them for real during that war because I understood what it must hsve mearnt to be your brithers keeper. No Qualms. If it happens again , my real Niggaz from the ND will be grave diggers. For real.

You are a Yoruba man. You said. I believe that an I respect that. For real. I don't respect cowrds wether you are a yoruba or not.

But you as a person is a coward & a born one for that. This Cowardice transcend not only in you but sadly & regrettabky enough among your ethnic group.

The annals of history in Nigeria politics to this day justify that your ethnic group in the South is the Standard measure for cowardice.

How is it possible that 3 million of our brothers & sisters from the south was massacred without you yoruba in the south do anything but you went ahead to hands with the " one Nigerianists" of Nigeria to massacre your own close door innocent neigbours.

Do you think that our close door neigbours from the East the Igbos not just instead of looking away but ing hands to massacre over 3 million of their yoruba ckose door neigbours ?

You are happy & proud that you ed hands with those one nigerianists to massacre your closse door neigbours instead of fighting & protect them.

See when it comes to cowardice, the better south know the true born cowards down south. These aree words on the streets & off streets grin grin

Here in the Delta, we don't play second fiddle to cowards. We know the cowards & real Betreuers of the prosperity & develooments of the South. We know why Nigeria is the way it is

We know those who were conquered tbecause they were cowards. Three million of our dear neigbours died because tgey were not cowards. They died believing in what tgey believed in. I respect that so much in the Delta.

You are a yoruba man, concentrate on the sharia s scattered all over your region created by those who massacred 3 million of our dear neigbours frΓΆm the East.

You dey call a ND coward. A real Nigga for that matter with real Niggaz from the DELTA grin cheesy

I do not blame. You have been making noise calling our neigbours cowards & the ND cowards. No worry. grin cheesy grin

The issue bn discussed is the 1966 coup which was orchestrated and engineered by igbo military leaders against other tribes.

If you feel that no one is talking about other coups in Nigeria, you can as well open your own thread and talk about them.

No one is stopping you. Today is January 15, that is why the January 15 1966 coup is been discussed.

Don't play any victim game here, no one is going to pity you.

Biodun556:
How Major Chukwuma Nzeogwu Killed Sir Ahmadu Bello and His First Wife, Hafsatu, and Laughed For the Camera Thereafter



The following persons planned the January 15, 1966 coup:

Major Emmanuel Ifeajuna-Igbo from Eastern Region.
Major Chukwuma Nzeogwu-Igbo from the Midwest Region.
Major Chris Anuforo-Igbo from Eastern Region.
Major Don Okafor-Igbo from Eastern Region.
Major Adewale Ademoyega-Yoruba from Western Region.

Of these people, only Major Adewale Ademoyega did not take part in the killings. Please find below the names and regions of the people they killed, and you decide whether or not the coup was one-sided.

1. Sir Ahmadu Bello-Fulani from Northern Region.
2. Sir Abubakar Tafawa-Balewa-Gere from Northern Region.
3. Samuel Ladokr Akintola-Yoruba from Western Region.
4. Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh-Itsekiri from the Midwest Region.
5. Hafsatu Bello (wife of Sir Ahmadu Bello)-Fulani from Northern Region.
6. Mrs Latifat Ademulegun (Brigadier Ademulegun's wife, who was eight months pregnant)-Yoruba from Western Region.
7. Brigadier Samuel Ademulegun-Yoruba from Western Region.
8. Brigadier Zakariya Maimalari-Kanuri from Northern Region.
9. Colonel Kur Mohammed-Kanuri from Northern Region.
10. Colonel Ralph Shodeinde-Yoruba from Western Region.
11. Lt. Colonel Abogo Lagerma-Marghi from Northern Region.
12. Lt. Colonel James Pam-Jos native from Northern Region.
13. Lt. Colonel Arthur Unegbe-Igbo from Eastern Region.
14. Sergeant Daramola Oyegoke-Yoruba from Western Region.
15. Police Constable Philip Lewande-Minority from Northern Region.
16. Police Corporal Akpan Anduka-Efik from Eastern Region.
17. Police Corporal Hagai Lai-Minority from Northern Region.
18. Police Corporal Yohana Garkawa-Minority from Northern Region.
19. Lance Corporal Musa Nimzo-Minirity from Northern Region.
20. Ahmed Pategi-Minority from Northern Region.
21. Zarumi Sardauna-Minority from Northern Region.

Now, out of a total of 21 people killed by the January 15, 1966 coup plotters, only Lt. Colonel Arthur Unegbe was an Igbo, and the reason he was killed was because he was the QuarterMaster-General, Army Headquarters, Lagos, and therefore was in charge of the armoury.

When Major Chris Anuforo went to his house to demand the keys to the armoury, he refused and was shot. He was NOT on the original list of people to be killed.

Exactly a year ago today, Major Chris Anuforo's daughter emailed me a threat to my life, and I disregarded it but published her email. And then, two days after her threat, a gentleman with an accent that betrayed his accent traced me to my jogging route and threatened me. I am undeterred.

As long as some people keep trying to twist the truth, people like me will expose the facts. And if you kill us, our children will take our place to prevent you from spinning a false narrative.

I don't just know why an average yorba person, that is online can never do without lies and propaganda.

Secondly, you saying that major ademoyega did not partake in the killings shows you are out to defend rubbish. From the list below people can see that at least, we have about 4 Yoruba men on the list. So I don't see the one sidedness in that like the op want us to see or believe.

This is the real list of names of the coup plotters and their region below.
