Brilliant. This video took my back in time. As a child living with my parents in Dodan barrack, I remember waking up to the bang of a bomb. As I scampered for safety, my mum held me saying I shouldn't panic. That there was a coup. I asked where my dad was and she said he was around. I made sure I saw my dad, knowing anyone could be taken out by the coup plotters. That was one of the bodiest sundays I've seen.
The potters were naive in most ways... The worst part of it was their inability to cut communication lines... If communication lines were cut, abacha wouldn't have established contact with Babangida and others who mobilized against the coup. Secondly, the hasty decision to excise 5 northern states was another naive action. Thanks for watching 👍 👍
Gideon Orker is truly a hero including all the coupist, the failure of this coup pained a lot of southerners because it would have changed a lot mess in Nigeria
Thanks for this video. My father made me study why the coup failed. I remember in the battle for Ikeja Cantonment when the mutineers ran out of ammunition. The support weapons they were expecting in a fish truck were attacked just before Ikeja which meant the mutineers did not have weapons and Bamiyi pounced on that opportunity. I also remember when Chris Garuba and Abacha entered Radio House it was rugged. Then the blowing up of the presidential quarters in Dodan Barracks you could see the clock on the wall in IBB's room. The fallout of the coup meant IBB had to rejig signals in the Army. The signal barracks in Mile 2 was later closed down. You also missed the role the Navy under the command of Aikhomu played especially NNS Aradu. IBB never trusted Abacha but after that coup, he gave some trust to Abacha. You are right on why the coup failed as a child then we arrived at almost similar reason.
Thank you for watching and giving this detailed feedback... There are so much info that it became difficult to compressed into a 23 minutes video. Thanks!
I like this channel better than history ville you know you tell us story like you where present keep it up 👍 you keep clearly I like your accent from Washington DC
I was on my way to church that Sunday morning, when the coup broadcast filtered into the air. The broadcast was just lengthy. Painfully, the coup failed. But one thing certain is that: all that the coupists mentioned, are what is being experienced today. None has been tackled. Except for the late Abacha who gave everybody a sense of belonging, by creating six goe-political zones to correct some of the problems of marginalization. However, it is just an ice in the cake. Perhaps, God would have just allowed the coup to succeed. Because lessons have not been learnt from the resultant. Funnily, when either of coupusts or heads of states succeeds in such moment, either of them will become the villain while the one that succeeds is the victor. May their souls and the loyal troops rest in peace always.
Gideon orkar you no succeed but i pray may almighty God put you on the bosom of our father of faith Abraham, because what you see and you won't to escape us in, is what we are facing now, but God can't give power to the wicked. We will remember forever, You are a Hero
When I was at the command and staff college Jaji. I realized one thing about a coup d'etat. A coup will fail if the society is not calling for it. No coup d'etat will succeed in Nigeria if the coup plotters ask a faction of Nigeria to leave Nigeria. If you are going to carry out a coup d'etat in Nigeria, justify your coup with enough evidence, and substantial reasons which the Nigerian society witness day in day out in the current government.
Exactly and the fraction of Nigeria he asked to leave have the highest infantry and Officers in the military whom made 3/5 of the country paramilitary so how would it succeed? Definitely planned to fail.
I beg to disagree sir. If a coup is carried out by those in majority (ethnic/religion) it will overwhelmingly succeed. The coup failed because it was mainly carried out by southerners and middle belt.
@@laurentchukwuma I agree with you. But, the majority ethnic / religion coup plotters never asked any faction of Nigeria to quit Nigeria in their coup speach.
The lessons learned have not been heeded. The reasons Orkar gave are still prevalent today. Marginlizstion, injustice from lack of resource control, etc. I am not a fan of PDP, but I must confess that. PDP led by Obasanjo, Ya adua, and Good luck handled our diversity commendably well. These rascals and religious fundamentalists called APC stoke the religious bear and divided this country. Forced themselves on Nigerians through the rigging of the national election thereby putting the future of this country in jeopardy. Forcing your will on the people in the guise of democracy equal to a military coup. The military force their way just the same way politicians force themselves in through rigging. I am afraid it is time to truncate this republic. A military is needed again in Nigeria. It is clear our wicked politicians have not learnt from our dark past. GMB should hand over to the military. We are not ready for democracy. After all the politicians have looted much more than the military. I don't care about western hypocrisy.

If I say nigerdelta liberation u r trying to limit thier actions but I I feel he wanted the minority tribe to benefit n not marginalized. The middlebelt specifically. He from benue n the issue why the coup failed is because of man power to execute the task immediately. The minority tribe never had much personnel. Just imagine they ran out of ammunition. 🥺😞😞. Who those that in a coup. They were lucky Gideon okar coup failed.
Debatable? I doubt. I was working close to Bonny Camp as a 20yr old. I saw a lot of these army officers back in those days as a civil servant working for ministry of works and housing. R.I.P Major General Mamman Kontagora🙏🏿
Nigera today is a better one only that men are fucking too much and overpopulating the land with children they can't care for. As the population increases, the quality of life goes down for those families and then blame it on government. Stink!
@masudsaleh5155 continue to copy and paste like the clown you are. This is logical fallacy appeal to hypocrisy at the highest order. 1) the Igbo population did not back the Ironsi regime. So claiming that “Igbos” created this is false. 2) there have been many republics and constitutions since February 1966, and all of them elected to not have federalism. None of those decisions were made by Igbos, they were made by northerners 3) unlike Ironsi, these northern dictators actually had support from the northern populace. Therefore it’s totally justified to blame northerners as a whole who back and glorify this decisions 4) at the current time it’s the Igbos who oppose Nigeria and it’s the north who defends Nigeria. So you saying “the Igbos started it” isn’t an argument because you are the one defending it today.
Those young officers sacrificed all to make a statement,though they failed,their actions deflated the ego of Babangida and he ran away from Lagos to Aso rock Abuja,also resource control was introduced while Niger deltans now occupy key positions in the armed forces but it is not yet uhuru,all in all orkar and co were great heroes
The proof that this was a failure through and through is that at the end of their lives, they implicated their colleagues that were initially freed. Wicked souls. I once said, "Greater love hath no man, than to give his life for a friend".
There is possibility those implicated by them were traitors or mutineers to their course ...you can't tell the inner workings of this coup ,but from the illustration it was a very emotional one and not politically motivated
Babangida stopped Abiola from being President yeah may be Abiola is a drug Lord, may be he's not. But what of the fact that this Babangida was the one who sold us to IMF, who began the miserable devaluation of Nigeria?
Admiral Wey, Gen. Tunde Idiagbon, Rear Admiral Joe Aikhomu (picture used instead of his uncle Admiral Augustus Aikhomu) pictures need correction. Whatever chance they had at success must have evaporated when they excluded those Northern states before it was a success.
The most interesting fact is that all this senior officers names kept resurfacing till date in the military. The officers cadre is still dominated by these senior officers families. I hail the north. They are good at ensuring the continuity of legacy. I hope my igbo brothers learn from these.
All the issues raised by Orkar are still prevalent in the Nigerian society and are worse, especially under the regime of "Mr Integrity",the worst president since independence. Meanwhile, the coup was a suicide mission
So the story we had that Abacha was the reason why the orkar coup failed is true... He was actually a loyal man to IBB... NO Wonder ibb said Abacha would hv overthrown Abiola should he took power.
@@hapexconsulting3789 this is very correct...it is alleged that he had planned with abacha to overthrow Shonekan and later handover to him down the line. Unknown to him, abacha was taking him for a ride.
I know great ogboru from sapele as I live there , he was really rich , I guess that was why he went on exile and lost almost all his property when the coup failed , oh now I see
I dint know a lot about this coup until now and I must say that it was the dumbest idea ever! Officers from the Military Police actually thought the could hold on to a Nigerian Military with Infantry and Intelligence Units? They must have missed several classes at the Academy. And majority were from the South? yet they intended to command the loyalty of a Nigerian military with at least 50% Northern soldiers....especially after the Tribal history we have in Nigeria? What a band of Jokers. To those in the comment section saying this would have solved Nigeria's problem; I salute your Ignorance! Had it succeeded, this coup would have worsened our situation even further than what it is today
I won't necessarily say we would have been in a worse situation. This might be rocky at the start but it might have gotten better. Also depending on how well they hold on to power, we might have been better off.
@@udyfrost6380 With all due respect Sir, there was nothing about the way the coup was planned, or their intentions; to show things would have been better. 1st mistake, the coupist were mainly from the South-South part of the country, how would they have maintained the loyalty of Northern or even South Eastern Officers? 2nd: there primary aim was to split the country - this is NOT progressive thinking and it shows how very little they understood about the country
I was in Ile Ife, visiting my auntie when we heard of the coup. I knew it failed when my cousin’s neighbour said he was on the phone speaking to someone in Lagos . During coups the phone network is always switch off . Abacha was able to speak to IBB & others . It was later revealed that Orka was let down by others
Yeah, he himself was at fault too. He would have made sure that the phone lines were off. Also, he was quick the announcement that excised 5 northern state, infact, there was no need for such extreme decision. Thank you for watching. ❤️💙
They actually did switch the main phone network. Unbeknownst to the the coup plotters, IBB government had Israeli phone company build secondary phone networks tied to the same phone lines. It was kept a secret and controlled by his security in the event of coup. It worked!
IBB was a master chess player! Back then, you had to be 5 steps ahead as all these military generals were well trained. Most of them trained abroad. These were very intelligent men.
Babangida was one of the smartest army generals in Nigeria, he had men from all part of Nigeria just for intelligence purpose. The resource persons in this are from a particular region, it was bound to fail.
I'm not a Nigerian but I know the first was in 1966 against Ironsi, the second in 1975 against Gowon and then the unsuccessful one that killed Murtala in 1976
At least so it seems now but we can wake up and begin the change we want to see. We have another chance to be good followers by electing good leaders come 2023. Thank you for watching.
Well, Max Siollun called it so...you are free to call it so since the key planners were from the Niger delta and were fighting for the region and the Middle belt. Thanks for your feedback.
That the coup plotters wanted to implicate their members who were freed does not go well with me. I thought it should have been "one for all and all for one" kind of thing. Secondly, it was a poorly planned coup. U can't be planning a coup and leave telephone lines on in the city. They should have studied how ibb did his. Nice story i must say. Kudos
Exactly but I find it difficult to believe that they complained about their freed co plotters but I read somewhere was that they told Babangida that he should not think he has escaped by executing them because there are more guys lurking in the corner
@@kmoses2814 A. A Aikhomu was an Admiral in the Nigerian Navy, who served as the de facto vice President of Nigeria under military head of state General Ibrahim Babangida from 1986 to 1993 - Wikipedia. You may need to reconfirm your source for the above info. Thank you
Hypocrisy of the highest order.u all are hailing the coup saying it would have changed alot in Nigeria but critise other coup and label them Igbo coup...but this so called Igbo coup also citted same issues like the rest u are hailing.....
Poorly researched.@14.32 ,you displayed Idiagbon’s picture as Lt.Col Zidon…This is just one of several brain wracking misrepresentations in your video…
That is because you may be a tribal bigot. Those who are uncomfortable with what we do here are bigot who have been fed with revisionist ideas. Is a pity that you went through that route earlier. Open your mind and learn the actual history here. Thanks
I like this historical information but mean while research more so that we can know what happened to the Israeli soldiers (the kran tribesmen) guiding the military president as at that time.
Those soldiers were heroes. I am proud of them. Their deaths are not in vain. Nigeria is suffering today because of the fanatical jihadist bastard government.

Good doesn't usually win.
Biafra I know biafra I stand ✊
Who noticed that no Igbo name was mentioned in this whole coup
Did you not hear major eche du and captain Obasi being mentioned?
Nwanchukwu
@@johnonoh59 the first coup in the history of Nigerian was from Igbo man
@@binon3716 u sound stupid
Majors Echendu and Obasi were mentioned. Major Echendu fled to the US
This was all caused by the colonial masters. They colonized us with their military men, and later gave power to Nigeria illiterate civilians.
What do you mean the 1990 coup was a third coup? It was the second i guess
Some sources claim that it was the third. Probably the second was not reported. However, I may look further into it. Thanks for watching
I'm not a Nigerian but I know the first was in 1966 against Ironsi, the second in 1975 against Gowon and then the unsuccessful one that killed Murtala in 1976
Gideon Orkar is our Prophetic Hero!
How i wish the coup was successful.
Our heroes past was totally in vain.
At least so it seems now but we can wake up and begin the change we want to see. We have another chance to be good followers by electing good leaders come 2023. Thank you for watching.
@@HispleMedia if and only our votes will ever count?
Your heroes past were criminals. All of them.
Nigeria don suffer...
Really!! But we shall overcome the forces of darkness. Thank you my bros
Y is this coup not called a Niger delta coup??
Well, Max Siollun called it so...you are free to call it so since the key planners were from the Niger delta and were fighting for the region and the Middle belt. Thanks for your feedback.
Losing the plot, I 👀
I need my own state or Republic
@@PHILLIPOJUMUDEoti looks like you liked your comment. What a shame
These men were heroes as far as I'm concerned . They saw the future . If they had succeeded nigeria wouldn't be in the turmoil its in today .
That the coup plotters wanted to implicate their members who were freed does not go well with me. I thought it should have been "one for all and all for one" kind of thing. Secondly, it was a poorly planned coup. U can't be planning a coup and leave telephone lines on in the city. They should have studied how ibb did his.
Nice story i must say. Kudos
Exactly but I find it difficult to believe that they complained about their freed co plotters but I read somewhere was that they told Babangida that he should not think he has escaped by executing them because there are more guys lurking in the corner
The country wouldnt have been in thaïs mess we are in today
Ikomo’ if I get the spelling right was already retired at then due to his disputes about Nigeria taking the IMF loan.
Aikhomo was the second in command to IBB at the time...
@@HispleMedia No he was not, he had already resign and was living in London. He never lasted more than one year in IBB regime.
@@kmoses2814 that means my source maybe wrong then... I will find out more. Thank you for bringing my attention to this. I appreciate you. ❤️
@@kmoses2814 A. A Aikhomu was an Admiral in the Nigerian Navy, who served as the de facto vice President of Nigeria under military head of state General Ibrahim Babangida from 1986 to 1993 - Wikipedia.
You may need to reconfirm your source for the above info. Thank you
@@HispleMedia my mistake it was O E Ukiwe who resigned as Vice President of IBB due to disputes of the IMF loan
Kindly get a history buff to vet ur posts b4 uploading
Thanks
Hypocrisy of the highest order.u all are hailing the coup saying it would have changed alot in Nigeria but critise other coup and label them Igbo coup...but this so called Igbo coup also citted same issues like the rest u are hailing.....
No coup would've changed naija.
When men had balls
Lol they make me want to have more balls and get into something
What a complete waste of human lives.
Poorly researched.@14.32 ,you displayed Idiagbon’s picture as Lt.Col Zidon…This is just one of several brain wracking misrepresentations in your video…
I wish you had your own channel for reference...thank you though for watching.
babangida the most wicked person i have ever seen
Your account has too many fabrications
That is because you may be a tribal bigot. Those who are uncomfortable with what we do here are bigot who have been fed with revisionist ideas. Is a pity that you went through that route earlier. Open your mind and learn the actual history here. Thanks
@@HispleMedia I like how you replied him. Those bigots are the problems of the country. They should get their emotions in check
I hv this before but TH-cam is steal promoting it... It s great though...
Pls speak louder.
Alright... Thank you for watching. I appreciate your feedback
Use Q-tip or visit an ear doctor 😂🤣😂🤣
I like this historical information but mean while research more so that we can know what happened to the Israeli soldiers (the kran tribesmen) guiding the military president as at that time.
There were no Israeli guards. The usual media rumours.

Hello, I don't understand this... If you had intended to pass a message, kindly put it english. Thanks
Bad thing is always fail
Those soldiers were heroes. I am proud of them. Their deaths are not in vain. Nigeria is suffering today because of the fanatical jihadist bastard government.
