Just kukuma tell us the coupists told ademoyega that the plan was to kill only the military and political leaders of other Nigerians apart from igbos and see if it made sense.

If me and you already planned to kill all our vagabond brothers and it so happened that it was only yours that 'ate' the hot leads while mine was 'coincidentally' left untouched, what does that tell you??

The same thing happened even in 2020 where the 'endsars' protest that was supposed to be a national protest turned to ''kill tinubu', kill sanwooulu'' and d destruction of lives and properties in southwest while southeast was left untouched

Una always dey think say na una wise , and na this 'overskill' - wey kill monkey - go make Nigeria never trust una till thy kingdom come!

Wale ademoyega is just like the current misguided present day falz, macaroni, hundeyin, rinu and rufai oseni who still don't know they are being used by igbós yo further their sinister agenda.

I disagree with you here....The planning was not an Igbo coup because the five Majors agreed to eliminate all the politicians in every region but the other 3 Igbo majors had another plan. And it was their own secret plan that made the coup execution to be tagged as Igbo coup. Wale wrote it in his book WHY WE STRUCK that ifeajuna and the other Igbo betrayed Nzeogwu and himself. So Wale is completey different from Mr Macaroni, Oseni etc. Please I will encourage you to get the book WHY WE STRUCK by Wale Ademoyega

You mean they don't have power to fix your roads and provide basic amenities but they have to run to Lagos to make it in life. What a shame

Lolz normally to see yoruba man with sense na by connection.



Lolz see reasoning




But wait, why haven't you and all Yorubas in Lagos make it?

stagger:


Patrick Kaduna Nzeogwu was from present-day Delta state. He was not an Igbo by definition. Many people who belong to the ethnic Anioma people such as the former Delta Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, and even ex-Super Eagles Captain Sunday Ogochukwu Oliseh have all denied being Igbo and identify as Ika.

The only Igbo officer who led a team that did some killing was then Captain (later Colonel) Nwobosi (who died 3 years ago or so) and that was because Akintola refused to surrender and met the team with gunfire.

He killed

AmazingELixir:


There was an igbo coup planned and masterminded by people of igbo extraction. QED Ipob is a disease.

You can even hang urself it won’t make any difference, it is over

So because he was called Maradona, he also lied that Abiola won the 1993 election? Or you believe and disbelieve the ones you like from the same testimony of a discredited person?

Softmirror:
How can a person who has been referred to as an EVIL GENIUS and a MARADONA for decades tell the truth. Are you called such names because you are an upright person?!

Of course his book is lies upon lies.

He is just being manipulative with the 1966 coup to get sympathy from the one and only EMOTIONAL tribe in Nigeria.

Lol IBB is willing to enter his grave by telling more and more lies.

Why didn't he write anything about the counter coup which he was a participant that targeted mainly Igbo officers?! Why Igbo officers? Were they being killed just for fun?

Late Maj. Gen David Ejoor who was Governor of Mid Western Region (1966-1967) and then Chief of Army Staff made it explicit about the coup and called it an Igbo coup.

Babangida will remain an EVIL GENIUS and a MARADONA till his last breathe.

We can read the whole print brother, not just the sections you highlighted, which still doesn't your sentiments
.

really? A 25 year old new army officer's views? He clearly mentioned that he was speculating and that events that unfolded afterwards tended to that the rumours may be true afterall. Anyway, let bygones be bygones.

Did Abiola win the election?! I am asking you.

professorPABX:


You are just confusing yourself. I read Why we struck as a young man over two decades ago in addition to several military books on West Africa as a deep study. I also listened to those in active service at that time and those at the front line. I don't want to go further.

All those imaginary names generated as after thoughts years later are just to soothe nerves. You said coup Flop in Lagos because OiC Armoury did not release key. Do they need to collect key from Armoury to execute Action in Kaduna and Ibadan? What happened at Enugu? That imaginary name was not OiC Armoury or Battalion Commander of the Armour Corps . All the people they planned to execute were executed while those who got the Coup information beforehand escaped.

Ogbeni, think.

When all the warring parties exhaust their ammunition, where exactly will they get their replenishments from if not the armoury?

And how exactly is a coup successful if the coupists have no control over the armoury?

Don’t make me laugh here please. Even a mai-guard will know something as basic as this. Smh

babat89:



What was Ifeajuna's role in the coup?

Also if the tables were turned, would you believe this explanation?

Ifeajuna was one of the coup plotters and an extremist. Nobody is arguing that.

Same way there was no 'casualty' in alaigbo during the 2020 'endsars protest' was
same reason why it (coincidentally) failed in the east but was hugely successful was also the reason why the 1966 coup 'failed' to record any casualty in alaigbo:

Una sabi dangle the cutlass over the heads of others but make excuses for your own kith and kin from undergoing same judgement.

I'm glad u were entertained!

OkCornel:


Again, you’ve gleefully glossed over the reasons Adewale Ademoyega mentioned the coup had no casualties in the Eastern region and also comfortably overlooked how the January 1966 coup was crushed and by whom.


Keep it up. I’m entertained.

OkCornel:


Ifeajuna was one of the coup plotters and an extremist. Nobody is arguing that.

What role did he play?

Ifeajuna was in charge of executing the coup in the East, no¿

Suddenly Azikiwe went on leave and then nothing happened in the East.

You sef think am naw

givedemwotowoto:
Tribal bigots have gone bunkers since IBB launched his book. Nigerians from all over the country are eventually speaking out after years of seeing through the agenda of these bigots who are only driven by envy and hate

Rest of Nigeria's problem with the Igbo has to do with envy not because of the 1966 coup or Biafra secessionism.

We are saying the same thing bro.
The coup was supposed to take a national outlook from the onset, but those who feel they were wiser than their chi had other sinister plans.

The coupists had hausas Yorubas and igbos' but only one of the 3 betrayed the collective goal of the group.
**Who betrayed the collectiv aspiration? Hausas, Yorubas or igbós??
**Who suffered the least NO casualty in the coup??
**Who benefitted most from the execution of the coup??
So if the answers to these questions point only to one direction - igbós, then it's not misplaced to term the coup igbo-orchedtrated!
In their deception, they merely used the heads of d non-igbo officers to achieve their sinister goal.

They are being smart. Do you know the role Tinubu played in making sure IBB goofed like this?!

Story. Same BAT who had lobbied to get a ministerial position from Abacha.
Just like Diya was smart enough to work for Abacha and signed up for his death sentence?
If Smart MKO and Smart Diya were alive, they would have praised IBB too😂😂

Ademoyega was likely sold a dummy...same way many yorubas are still being sold dummies today...Same way they claimed the coup was about Awolowo even when hard facts and data shows otherwise....

And that is why it is key to let people keep seeing how propaganda works

They don't understand yoruba diplomacy....Just listen to Osinbajo's speech and you will understand the sarcasm

This one is still fooling himself creating false narratives. People now know better, stop fooling yourself

No sentiments, what i highlighted were from the book not mine. You are free to highlight and really show us where IBB debunked the coup narrative. Rooting for you, you can do this.

You sef think am naw

Ifeajuna executed the coup in Lagos. Kidnapped Tafawa Balewa, murdered Zakariya Maimalari, went on a needless killing spree.


Ahmadu Bello, Ladoke Akintola, Tafawa Balewa, Nnamdi Azikiwe were all tipped off by intelligence reports of an impending coup. Who heeded the warnings, who didn’t?

The rest is history.

What gave the coup an ethnic colouration was the attitude of some Igbo tribal bigots in the North.

The coup plotters had no ethnic agenda. Wale Ademoyega stated that plainly in his book.

Max Siollun, Segun Johnson, Nowamagbe Omoigui and IBB were sold dummies too. Let’s continue with the jokes please

This is for those with HATRED in their hearts against the IGBOS who believed that the coup was an Igbo coup and at the same time will tell you that people of the present-day Delta State including Okpanam are NOT IGBOS. These MOFOS want to eat their cakes and have them.

Ignorance... haven't you heard of using a stone to kill 2 birds

Stay there and be killing birds. My happiness is the lies of the Yoruba media are finally getting bursted one by one

Nope hard copy

Ooh 🤦

I've been looking for a soft copy. Couldn't get it.

I don't know, please would it possible for you to scan the hard copy you've got, at your convenience? And maybe we connect via mail? I'd be really grateful... 🙏

OkCornel:


Max Siollun, Segun Johnson, Nowamagbe Omoigui and IBB were sold dummies too. Let’s continue with the jokes please

Max Siollun is a writer he wasn't a coup plotter...He simply documented what was repeated severally to sound like the truth...what Ademoyega documented, what IBB (a 25 year old young officer at that time ) also said...We owe the future generation the direction to look at hard facts and not the decoy or what anyone said...we point then to the list of victims and plotters, so they can logically look at their ethnic affiliations, we point then ti the events of the time to help then understand how Nigeria looked at that time and the ethnic affiliation of the military leaders....we let them know that Awo was in jail and in no position to plot a coup...and that those who claimed to be plotting a coup on his behalf didn't even release him for 6 months until the victims of the coup planned a revenge coup in July and released Awo the next day they got to power....so that when you repeat your lies because it is now almost 60 years later...they won't be obliged to echo the lies...and make themselves useful idiots again...they won't echo what is popular without looking at hard facts....same way it was a popular saying that Igbos voted for Abiola until hard facts showed that he lost in 3 out of the 4 Igbo states that existed at that time....

Did Wale Ademoyega lie in his book that January 1966 was not an Igbo coup?

Yes or No

We understand actions not empty words. Diya acceptec to be Abacha’s 2nd in command. Olu Onagoruwa accepted to be Abacha’s lawyer/AGF. Soyinka served under IBB.
Alao Arisekola, abandoned MKO his friend and pitched tent with Abacha… History doesnt forget ooh😂😂

So Rufai now believes IBB because it suits his narrative? I used to say this Rufai is a fraud & low IQ journalist. He just spits out anything that comes out of his mouth like an emotionally enraged market woman. A coup that targeted politicians from other parts of the country except the igbo politicians

Las-las igboid. And igbos have drummed it into the hearing of every tom dick and harry that "se and ss are one", so rest!

StUriah:


Read your comment again to see how foolhardy you are.

That person you responded to only spoke mind which ofcourse everyone knows that is true. It is only when unpopular opinions favor your own narratives that you tend to those opinions. When it goes contrary to your ethnic agenda and narratives, you began to call the MOD for regulation.

Hippocrates !!!

You are in the same boat. Same kids of yesteryears trying to prove a point. I think you belong to same indomie generation who are bereft of past history. But trying to rabble rouse in every issue.

When were you born to know what happened in 1966? Or you listened to fable stories from your parents?

Defensing the poster is evidence you are a kid and bereft of ideas.

You should be ignored!
