Of course, you wouldn't know what Murtala Mohammed did, he is not Igbo grin grin

People who only that coup is bad, people are killed, as long as it's Igbos that did it grin grin
So many sins are cited in the bible but that of Adam has a unique place.
Why?

I do not have time for you juvenile smileys

YOU said Murtala did the same so the onus is on you to prove it

We are discussing the first coup in Nigeria which was against an elected and the FIRST elected government
Key officials were murdered mostly civilians.
AND IBOES WERE MIRACULOUSLY SPARED

"you guys" Who are you referring to?

You need to learn some manners

Well firstly it was a murder of political leaders across Nigeria except Igbo leaders

It only became a COUP when IRONSI decided to GRAB power

The assassination of a Leader does not mean the army should take over

Why did Ironsi do that after Igbo officers had brutally murdered others
Also he failed to prosecute them so that made it suspicious

The triumphal and taunting behaviour of Iboes across the country and in barracks confirmed the UNMISKATABLE nature of the coup as an Ibo one, deplorable!!

You’re a b*tter old f**l

Let’s observe the man that sons of Zik hail as a hero…. The cold hearted killer that starved thousands of Biafrans to death while a desperate agenda wants to pin it on Awolowo and the federal government that did everything to help the starving people.

Excerpts from the book of Brigadier Godwin Alabi Isiama:

When pictures of starving children reached world media. Arrangements were made for relief to Biafra.

Ojukwu got very upset and started to kill foreign European aid workers. He did not want the thousands of people perishing from kwashiokor to be fed. He wanted them to remain as skeletons so he could use their pictures for world sympathy.

Robert S Goldstein: Public relations representative of Biafra in the United States was really enraged when he saw how heartless ojukwu was…. He resigned after observing that the real demon was not the federal government but a demagogue obsessed for power and reckless in the attempt in the name of Ojukwu. He wrote in his letter of resignation:

‘When you ( Ojukwu) appeared before heads of state and representatives of the OAU at Niamey in Niger… they offered to help with relief for the starving throngs…. However, you delayed this, hoping to use the unfortunates with world sympathy on their side as a tool to further your ambition….’

These events seriously alarmed even senior of the breakaway Biafra nation. Ralph Uwechue ( Biafra diplomat in during the civil war) said Ojukwu was ambitious to the point of megalomania, Cold and cynical to the sufferings of Biafrans and arrogantly self-confident. (Reflections on the Nigerian civil war)

Zik said of Ojukwu and Biafra: The world is shocked that Igbos have been tongue tied and emasculated, that they have allowed tyrants to blindfold and hoodwink them into a war alleged to be fought for their survival.

Ojukwu’s mission was to make sure his people starved to death so he could use the pictures for Propaganda. The thousands starving to death…. Same people he claimed he declared Biafra to protect….were just minor casualties in his obsession for power.

This is the man sons of Zik hail as a hero. A cold heartless demagogue that starved their fathers to death in the millions in his reckless ambition for power.

Yoruba lies and revisionist history are the bane of society

Who are you guys?

The important thing is that Ibos went on rampage murdering elected civilians from all over the country , Killing their wives and family as well in a very brutal and heartless way

They did not kill any of their own people and then Ironsi took over and did not prosecute them


Only Iboes have engaged on that scale of murder in the name of a coup

Very Heartless!!

Oh I see, then you came later to Nigerian history This has already been covered in my previous thread. Ok take a look at those killed by Muritala Muhammeds July 29th 1966 coup, tell me if you the name of any Northerner, then explain to us how such a murderous coup plotter became a national hero on the N20 Naira note just for being a Northerner

Igbos want to b free but at the same time they are looking for who to enslave

Isaac adaka baro was the first person that fought to get independence but the same Igbos thwarted his plans n later they too wanted to do the same thing they stop others from doing

I like how they were dealt with

We are discussing January 1966 Coup By Iboes of the First elected government in Nigeria
They murdered sundry Nigerians but Iboes were miraculously spared and Ironsi took over failing to prosecute any of the murderers

Killed? Really?

By whom?

Why are you people so comfortable with telling lies

Ok, let's round up.
Nzeogwu executed a coup, he was killed.
Ironsi messed up, he was killed.
Igbo army officers killed people, most of them have been killed.

When, how, and why did you end up organizing Igbo-killing parties to eliminate more than 3 million people who had nothing whatsoever to do with the coup?

That's the question I have at this time.
After you got your vengeance, why did you go on killing innocent people?
If you don't answer the question, just understand that you are one of the reasons why this country will never go forward, because you will be laying the foundation for Fulani, Yoruba, and Hausa massacre in the future for any slightest reason and offence committed by a group of your tribesmen.

OfoIgbo:


This your argument is like me saying that Soludo must be pro-Obi because they are both from Anambra state. Secondly do you really think Ojukwu would have given a pro-Akintola man command of a Biafran army group?

Banjo and Fajuyi were diehard Awoists. Take it from me.

Banjo was obviously not happy that the Jan15 coup did not succeed in installing Awo as the prime minister of Nigeria, which was obviously why he tried a last-ditch effort to know whether he could topple Ironsi, thus making it more likely that the original objective of bringing in Awolowo would be achieved

Even Babangida that took part in the so-called revenge coup, noted that Awolowo would have been the major beneficiary of the Jan 1966 coup.


Sorry, but am not taking any Bs from you. Banjo was definitely pro-akintola.

Yeah, Awo would have been the major beneficiary of the Jan coup even though, IBB himself itted that there was no action in the eastern region where he was in jail.

Ironsi, an igbo man was the major beneficiary of the Jan 15th 1966, igbo coup.

But Awolowo's coupists made sure to brutally murder all of Awolowo's political opponents, even though the coup wasn't totally successful

What you are calling 'riot', was also a massacre. Google what happened to Igbo lives and businesses in the 1945 Jos riots. It also doesn't matter if you call the Kano massacre a North/South thing, Igbos were massacred in it. That Yorubas rarely complain when massacred by Northerners and has nothing to do with us

But at least we all now know that Nigerians were already killing each other before Independence. The country was already a disaster even before the colonial masters left, and has remained a disaster to this day

The loss of two Iives is not a "massacre" did you attend a school at all?
Every record calls it "riot".
The Kano issue was targeted at Yorubas immediately Akintola visited Kano he was àttàcked, so many tribes from the south were affected but lgb0s carried it on their head to spin victimization story.

And lgb0s made sure there's no way out of the country so we should blame lgb0s.

Of course, that's the only coup you people can discuss out of 8 that occured in Nigeria, it's the only one that Igbos were involved in. It's not like you guys can discuss Murtala Mohammeds coup that killed only Southerners and miraculously spared his fellow Northerners, Igbos were not involved. That's why Murtala Mohammed is a national hero on the N20 note
