Lemme quicklly set the record straight before they started given wrong narrative. ....

Kaduna. Nzogwu was the soldier who led the team to the Premier Palace, as well as the team's commander.In fact, 80 percent of the names on the list were unaware of the operation to be carried out that day when Kaduna Nzogbwu summoned them for the Zombie Operation. The commander directed them to the Premier Palace on that fateful day for this deadly operation.


Because all of these people might show up.and be saying that it was not just Igbo soldiers that went to the premier palace to kill the premier...this is purely propaganda...those who know the truth..know.Kaduna Nzogniw led this deadly operation with his soldiers. However, the soldiers were unaware of the operation, and they only had to obey Kaduna Nzogbuw, the team's commander....

Excerpts from the Inside Story of Nigeria by Max Siollun

Just imagine, one of the coupists - John Atom Kpera later became military governor of Benue State.

Seems the “Igbo” coup worked out well for him.

The million dollar questions are: why were these soldiers who were mostly non-Igbos willing to follow Nzeogwu to eliminate their fellow northerner, rather than shoot down Nzeogwu for treason?

Were they disenchanted with Bello and the corruption of the politicians in the first republic? OR did they hold Nzeogwu in high regard and viewed him as revolutionary? Or a combination of both?

Will Nigeria ever heal?

If the various ethnic nationalities comprising Nigeria cannot peacefully coexists together, then let them peacefully coexist separately.

The fact is, even with a breakup, none of the nationalities can relocate thier physical lands. They can however find ways to be friendly and/or tolerant neighbours.

While the names of the other ranks is subject to confirmation, the army numbers appended against most of them are evidently spurious.

Any army number without year of enlistment embedded within it is a red flag already.

Besides, numbers running into 6 and 7 figures in the 60's up to the 70's were non existent.

Ahmadu Bello was an unrepentant tribalist, the likes of which had never been seen in the history of Nigeria at that time. While Nnamdi Azikiwe worked to maintain a Nigerian union, sir Ahmadu Bello, and to a lesser extent chief Obafemi Awolowo, worked to maintain a regional dichotomy.

The false narrative of an Igbo coup was a careful distortion of the truth designed to vilify those who dared to resist a feudal system that was foreign to their nature. There was never an Igbo coup, ever. In January 1966, young elites in the Nigerian military agreed to rescue the country from the clutches of corrupt politicians.

It has become convenient for certain ignorant youths to regurgitate an unfortunate lie used to malign and marginalize a founding member of the Nigerian Union for standing up for themselves and demanding to be treated with justice and dignity.

can you believe that at the time azikiwe did this interview below on the 16th of Jan 1966
Gen ironsi had not yet taken Power
look outside the Window you can see it is broad daylight
Listen to azikiwe

Dr Orizu who was the Acting President didn't invite Gen ironsi to takeover Power until 10 minutes to midnight on that same day (16th of January 1966 ) which couldn't have been less than about 6 hours after azikiwe gave this interview to the British Press yet azikiwe was speaking as if Gen ironsi was already in Power

Gen ironsi didn't take Power until 17th Jan 1966 the next day

From his replies you can see that azikiwe was completely uninterested in finding Prime Minister Balewa who had only been kidnapped and was only missing at the time of this interview and whose body was not found until almost a week later but see how so confident azikiwe already was that Balewa wouldn't be found alive

The interview was conducted in the UK
Orizu didn’t call on Ironsi to take power until ten minutes to Midnight that same day
As of the time Azikiwe was speaking Dipcherima was still the Acting head of Government
and they were waiting for Dr Orizu to swear him as Orizu was acting president in Azikiwe’s place In so how did Gen Ironsi enter the equation?

Why do you guys love spreading lies against Igbos so confidently?


In a democratically elected government, can you tell me the hierarchy of power?


President - Head of State
Prime Minister - Head of Government
Senate President - Head of Parliament


Chief of Army Staff - Head of Military


If there is a military insurrection that removed the President and Prime Minister, who do you think is in the constitutional position to take over the government? A Minister of Trade and Commerce or the Senate President?



Which school did you guys attend and why do you enjoy lying against Igbos just to justify your hatred and propaganda that Igbos are the evil, why?

You don't deserve to be engaged in a meaningful discussion, I used to think that you had some good mental capacity until today.


I ask you again, in a democratically elected government that have the following elected heads:

President - Head of State
Prime Minister - Head of Government
Senate President - Head of Parliament


If a military insurrection happens and removes the President, The Prime Minister, who is next to take over power based on the constitution and hierarchy of power? So to your mediocre brain it is an ordinary appointed Minister appointed by the removed Prime Minister that ought to take over power, based on what constitutional order or hierarchy?


Why didn't he summon the meeting and declare himself President or Prime Minister since he was the rightful person to take over power after President and Prime Minister were removed na.


Una go just open mouth waah, no reasoning.


Vomiting and spreading the same old lies and propaganda your criminal elites told you to make you hate Igbos and see them as your adversary, nonsense.



So if a coup happens in Nigeria today and Tinubu and Shettima are removed, instead of Akpabio to take over power, he will summon all the Ministers and then hand over power to Wale Edun or Nyesome Wike because the Ministers agreed that they want Nyesome Wike to replace Tinubu since he is the most favorite or most senior Minister under Tinubu's government before Tinubu was removed? Honestly you don't have enough wisdom or understanding of how government and constitution works

You are still not making sense. You lack understanding of how government works. Of course Nwafor Orizu being the next in line to take over power after President and Prime Minister were removed needed to consult with the Ministers and Regional Premiers on the way forward, it was normal thing to do. He must consult of course.


The Council of Ministers are all appointees of the President and Prime Minister.


The only people that hold the constitutional right to head government under democracy are the elected officials;


President
Prime Minister
Senate President


The people must elect you before you can lead them.


As civilian government failed to hold the nation together, it automatically falls on the heels of the military to restore law and order and return government back to civilian government via a new democratic election process.


Council of Ministers don't have the constitutional right to select the next person to lead Nigeria when the President and Prime Minister are missing.


If the government was to remain with the civilians, Nwafor Orizu was in the right position to take over the government or invite President Zik to come back and take over, but the civilian government unanimously agreed for their own life to hand power to military. Don't you get it, are you this slow?



Who is an ordinary Minister of Trade to take over government when President is still alive, Senate President is alive? Na wa oh

No matter how much you lie the Truth was established long ago
Azikiwe was already addressing letters to Gen Ironsi as the head of the Country when Azikiwe had not yet taken Over Power

Please note

“St John Chadwick an Assistant Under-Secretary at the CRO was the first to notice to whom Azikiwe's letter was addressed. He gently corrected Emery/Azikiwe's ignorance saying when next they wanted to send a letter to the person running the country, they should address it to Zanar Dicharima, c/o Council
of Ministers and not to Major General Aguiyi Ironsi. But Azikiwe knew something they did not know.”

Stop disgracing urself online.

The first republic was a parliamentary set-up. Not the American system of government.


In a parliamentary system same as the British system. A minister can be nominated to succeed the prime minister.

Ironsi forcefully took over the control of government unconstitutionally.

Reason why he had to suspend the constitution.

Parliament
The legislative body that holds the most power.


Prime Minister
The leader of the majority party in parliament and the head of the executive branch. The prime minister is responsible for forming the cabinet.

Cabinet
The executive body made up of of parliament appointed by the prime minister. The cabinet is able to parliament and must resign if it loses parliament's confidence.
Parliamentary committees
Groups of parliamentarians that study proposed legislation, executive actions, and policies.

You are writing Jibberish.


No appointed Minister can be selected to head the government of any democratic nation, be it a parliamentary or presidential system. You must be elected before you can ever stand a chance.


In a parliamentary system, the leader of the party becomes the Prime Minister, and he then appoint of his cabinet who are known as Ministers or Secretaries in some nations.


If Prime Minister is removed from office, his cabinet have no constitutional right whatsoever to select the new Prime Minister to head the new government, never. It falls back to the parliament to choose another Prime Minister among the elected MPs.


And Nigeria's government style then was unique.


We had President and Prime Minister. The President was the Head of the Nigerian state or nation while the Prime Minister was the Head of government of Nigeria, as in Prime Minister was in charge of running the day to day activities of government inside Nigeria while the President focused on foreign representation of Nigeria as a nation.



Prime Minister appointed the Ministers in collaboration with the President, none of the Ministers were elected by the Nigerian people so they had no constitutional right to head Nigerian government at all.


Please stop spreading this false propaganda.


Even if any of them suggested it, it must have been suggested out of ignorance and Nwafor Orizu the Senate President must have known that they knew nothing about governance and ignored them if at all something like that ever happened

Ignorance is a disease.

Your PhD is a waste

Or have you forgotten dipcharima was also a member of the parliament.

When NPC (balewa & Akintola alliance) the dominant party choose him to succeed balewa, as acting, why did orizu object and handed over power to his brother Ironsi.


What was Ironsi role in a parliamentary system of government.

Desist from trying to distort and twist the truth.

The coup was ibo plan to dominate other tribe.

Ignorance is a disease.

Your PhD is a waste

Or have you forgotten dipcharima was also a member of the parliament.

When NPC (balewa & Akintola alliance) the dominant party choose him to succeed balewa, as acting, why did orizu object and handed over power to his brother Ironsi.


What was Ironsi role in a parliamentary system of government.

Desist from trying to distort and twist the truth.

The coup was ibo plan to dominate other tribe.

Thats all they hear and carry in their dull brains, ndi eriri eri cheesy
