Skewed analysis. Too many coincidences. You go explain tire. Majority of the soldiers were coincidentally Igbos (yet northerners were majority in the army). Execution of leaders surprisingly exempted Okpara (because he had visitor). Zik was pleasantly absent from the country. Coincidentally, an Igbo is the ultimate beneficiary (in Ironsi). By Stroke of luck, Ironsi was reluctant to punish the coup plotters after coup "failed". Common!
Dont be an illiterate...!! Do you even understand tge structures of the army in the 60s? Do you knoe the difference between officer cores and foot soldiers ?
@@Sly-e9r What is the mysterious structure of army in 60s that needs to be understood? Mtchew
@@gbengene234 see how foolish you are??if you understand the structure you will understand how to reconcile the challenve you face with your question of; "Majority of the soldiers were coincidentally Igbos (yet northerners were majority in the army).
It is definitely an Igbo coup. Igbo are major players, and they speared theirs and killed the leader of the opposition,Premier of Western region,Akitola.
@@genuinediasporan6661
Not true...
They were other players
5 majors
2 igbos..one was from delta
Go do your research..
Baba, you are lying, your white gemu doesn't necessarily symbolize wisdom. You said colonel Shodeinde's wife was killed, you lied. It was General Ademulegu's wife was killed.
Okpara was not a political partner to Awolowo. Awolowo's parter was Enahoro,okpara was of Zick 's party.
You lied,if Azikiwe had been in the country,he wouldn't have been killed,if ironsi was away, you would have said with authority that if ironsi was in Nigeria,he would have been killed.
1964 crises in the west was already settled as at 1966 and there was no reason for a coup as that time.
If the coup was for Awolowo,why was his freedom from prison not a part of the plan, especially being imprisoned in the east where nothing happened,.
Why was his name not mentioned in the coup speech of Kaduna nzegwu?
The idea of it being a plot to bring back Awolowo into government was an afterthought that came after the failure of the coup.
Nzegwu was in charged of the north,he killed general Ademulegu, colonel Shodeinde and left Ojukwu, infact, according to you,he even asked Ojukwu for support,why didn't he asked Ademulegu or Shodeinde for support? Because they are not igbos.
Ifeajuna was in charged of Lagos, he killed general Mai Malari,he pursued the general from his house up till his execution by the road,he killed colonel James Pam,he killed colonel kur Muhammed all in the same Lagos where ironsi was and ironsi wasn't killed...who is fooling who?
The coup plotters traveled all the way from Lagos to Ibadan to kill Akintola but could not travel to the east to kill okpara,the only traveling they made from Kaduna to kano was to consult Ojukwu,why wasn't general Mai Malari or Lt col James Pam consulted... history had it that Lt colonel Hassan Katsina one of the top military officers in Kaduna was spared because of his closeness to nzegwu and even at that he was asked if he is for the coup or against and Katsina said you know I'm for you,as at that moment nzegwu had already removed his pistol in readiness to gun him down if he says otherwise.
Ojukwu who bluntly said otherwise was avoided rather than being gunned down.
Of course people who know Ojukwu would know why he rejected the offer as history has it that Ojukwu knowing fully well that the plotters are his juniors and may not want to accept orders from him. And Ojukwu on the other hand is one person that will never take orders from his subordinates.
The coup is an Igbo coup,if we must heal as a country,we must say the whole truth as it is and not half truth garnished with lies.
GOD BLESS YOU Sir, this is the only truth the Yorubas and Hausas would not like to hear. You will live long a life. For saying the truth
Oga that's a fat lie all analysis shows that it was clearly and intentionally an IGBO COUP
Also if ironsi has killed nzegwu for failed coup, then the hausa in the army would not have killed ironsi themselve
Why didn’t you say he would have killed Swantong who is from the north also,Adewale Ademoyuga from the West to balance your stupid idea.
Now it is said it wasn’t an Igbo coup,you want to make it an Igbo coup.
An Igbo officer was killed by Christ Anuforo,his name is Arthur Chinelo Unegbem.
This man speaking is a great lecturer, he dealt with it, sufficiently to be honest and understand the truth power of reality, as to the causes and the result.
This guest is highly intelligent, please what's his name?
this awolowo thing is a scam, this is nzegwo speech nothing like that, igbos can never do that, they wanted ironsi,
Is this a continuation of an earlier part, no intro, no mention of who the guest is, haba, this doesn't cut it at all!
Tunji Bretweith strongly maintained that the 1966 Coup was never an Igbo Coup.
God bless u sir for ur unbiased analysis . Unfortunately igbos are still paying for this deed till date . How much more will they pay before they are free. Am just a Nigerian youth asking ??? Thank u all.
No matter the spin. It waw an Igbo coup. The Igbo weee not in the opposition or dormant in government. They held major positions, and none of the people were killed. He would explain tire.
Obilo why don't you force him at gun point to admit Jan 15 coup was an igbo?
God almighty will continue bless and keep you for speaking the truth sir
see the list the igbo were responsible Prime Minister Abubakar Tafawa Balewa
Premier Ahmadu Bello
Premier Samuel Ladoke Akintola
Finance Minister Festus Okotie-Eboh
Ahmed Ben Musa (Bello's Senior Assistant " cretary for Security)[19]
Hafsatu Bello
Mrs Latifat Ademulegun
Zarumi Sardauna
Ahmed Pategi (Bello's driver)
Putting all your work together all your efforts is to rewrite history but the fact is fact byajority of the plotters were 8gbos and no igbo leaders killed were non igbo.
An Igbo major was killed. Majority of those people killed were those in opposition to Awolowo. If you can read up some books written by those who plotted the coup instead of thinking and making up history
It may not have been an Igbo coup but it created the perception given the people killed.
You didn’t make sense
@@dubemellit2932is you that lack ability to reason hence you wouldn't have insulted this comment for stating the obvious
Azikwe disappeared why
He did not disappear. He was sick and was abroad for more than 3 months before the coup
you cannot rewrite history
Did we all hear what he said about the British trying to make Mai malari GOC ahead of ironsi?
Very much in agreement with the analysis provided herein.
This is a classical and intellectual discussion. It was very insightful. Well done
Dr Yeni Faronbi didn't know what he was saying. How can it be a failure of operation both in Enugu and Lagos where we have Igbo? Itonsi escaped in Lagos. Do you think that was a coincidence ? Okpara was not killed, Azikwe was on leave. You call that a failure, too. Common baba Yemi, just leave the story
Your books, references & citations
You can't live without hating the Igbos, which is why you want to maintain a reason to hate them
Those who prosecuted the coup had their plans and when they failed and where arrested, wrote books and granted interviews
Why fo you want to change their story?. It was obvious they went after supposed enemies of Obafemi Awolowo. Akintola and the then prime minister. If it was such an Igbo coup, why did Ironsi quell it. Igbos were part of the government in power and enjoyed the most important positions in power so why lose it. Northern soldiers were part of that coup too.
If you read Ironsi account of how he escaped, you will laugh out loud. It was an Igbo coup. Too many coincidences. And like it ought to be, no need to explain. The victim did what they had to do.
Is jalo an Igbo Man?
The first time I am coming across an objective analysis of the civil war.
May God Almighty bless Dr Yemi Faronmbi
No igbo should buy this book, they want to make money
Yes let them make money but we need to know the truth because history also repeat itself and we don't want to fall for it again and make mistake
A person who doesn't know his past can't understand the present or the future
@@uchennavictor9866 This how you gullible people are deceived, book filled with lie and who do not know about the past, what do this Tribal bigot wanna tell you, you and family can go ahead and buy it
@@uchennavictor9866 This people can't tell you the truth, where was he all this years and now that he is close to is grave, all of a suddenly he starts to tell people false stories, open your eyes, you saw what Doyin okunpe did to peter Obi
Nobody should buy this book
You can't just say we should not do something without giving us reasons.
it was an ibo coup but in the interest of Nigeria. the ibo plan is to rule over other tribes in Nigeria but the fulanis outsmart them with the help of British government. that's what led to the coup. some ibo soldiers wanted to right the wrong of failed intentions of Ziks
Bear parlor talk without evidence. No evidence. You just want to maintain the hate you have for Igbos
Chia , shame to your parent
Mumu you have no clue, a Fulani man
