It’s a shame that Nigerian history is not taught compulsory in Nigeria schools at some point to every student from an objective nd unbiased perspective. All we have are the different accounts of people who are explain the history from their respective tribal point of view
Now is the time such action is necessarily needed in that country. Hard guys who can sweep off all those criminals claiming to be Nigerian politicians just overnight.

Thanks for the updates and bringing us back to that historic moments of Nigeria. Infact, I really enjoyed every bit of it. Please bring back the Stupid rotten Gowan's coup against Mohamed muritala. I remembered that was the only time I enjoyed being a citizen of Nigeria,,tho, it didn't last more than six months but it was the only time I enjoyed being a Nigerian.

All this wicked story that are happening to us since britian came i thank yahweh by bringing nnamudi kanu out by telling us our problems and how to solve it
This is true, the coup e'tat in 1966 that supposedly was to overthrow the First Republic' government corruption, but it is was worsen for the new Nigeria's nation that until today it cannot relieve the huge problem and creating more resesment for the entire people. I hope it will change soon.
How can it change our course for the better when the Igbos who slaughtered Kings and leaders of other tribe and show no remorse and paid dearly for millions who died in the Biafra war, it was well deserved, you killed their Emir and kept trading and living with them in the North as if all is well, funny Igbos.
we are not to use past mistakes to judge present situations, we are in a dawn of a new era. the question here is , what are we doing now to correct those mistakes done by our fathers so that our younger generations to come wont be victims to negative circumstances.
...abeg, let's be honest - as an historical piece, this is woefully inadequate and seriously lacking in substance. It is so poor that the author shouldn't even have bothered. Enough of the mediocrity. Na wa.
Russian. Для меня удивительным было, что наши советские войска (летчики на сколько я знаю) были за Нигерию, а не за Биафру...впервые я услышал об этом конфликте пол года назад, когда почитал "Половина желтого солнца". До этого я не знал про участие моей страны в этом конфликте и вообще, что такое было в Нигерии....побольше бы таких книг. Про Руанду знают многие, но их мало, а о Биафре не знает никто.
Adaeze Eze , very true, but it was sabotaged. Hence the reason it wasn't successful. Aguiyi Ironsi didn't sleep at home that very night of the coup. I wonder who passed the information to him? Aguiyi Ironsi and Tafawa Balewa were the task that was given to Emmaunel Ifeajuna in Lagos, but unfortunately for him, he came up short.

My question is why did the military coup of 1966, lead to the massacre of Igbo civilians? How many coups have we had in Nigeria? How many were master minded by Housas ? Did they lead to the massacre of innocent Housa civilians? Even after the civil war, why so much massacre of Igbos? What use is one Nigeria, if I cannot live freely in every part of Nigeria?
Angelica kweku Stupid ibo man. When did the Yoruba or Hausa execute a coup based on tribal lines? Wasn't it the ibos that murdered the founding fathers of Nigeria, killed off the Hausa and Yoruba leadership, then installed themselves as the rulers of all three regions. And you're wondering why ibos were killed like chickens. This is why you people must leave Nigeria.
That coup should have happened now if we still had such selfless brave officers. The current fulanization could have been prevented. The recent retirement of several brigadier generals was an eye opener. How could we suffer so much security lapses with all those generals drawing salaries? No one knew we had so many useless generals.
If we fail to have a honest conversation about this coup we won't learn the real lessons in it. My lessons are: 1. May God give us luck in all our endeavors 2. Even if you are running the best government with the most pristine of policies, you should never condone corruption, waste and lavishness. This will only breed hate and the masses will feel that you are underperforming 3. Absolute power is not necessary for progress. It was Ahmadu Bello's search for absolute power that destabilized the west and created the political environment that required his ousting. Nigeria cannot have a king, the president or whoever will only emerge based on consensus and not by the willpower of one strong man 3. If you set out to catch a thief, catch him and met justice fully. Ironsi's politics is what messed everything up. He could have put an end to everything by trying Ifeajuna and co properly, not relocating Nzeogwu to the east and at least satisfying the thirst of the Northerners. 4. Ironsi was naive in addressing the tribal wars that were starting under his feet. Promoting those eastern officers was unwise. Know what is obtainable and sticking to it is a key success factor
Well, it's far worse today in Nigeria than then, corruption and extreme flamboyant and extravagance living amongst politicians, and the citizens are suffering and smiling when they are supposed to be living great lives due to all the resources God has blessed Nigeria with.
where do you get. all these names. It is called an Ibo coup because in Lagos, the Fulani President was killed while the Ibo governor general was spared. In the regions, the only Hausa/Fulani premier and the only Yoruba premier were killed while the two Ibo premiers were not touched. neral

Very poor and narrow minded documentary. If you wanted to do a befitting account for a 50th anniversary, do it properly. A nine and half minute 'documentary with 2 eye witness' accounts is too shallow imho
one thing I know is that only in Nigeria, each past govt or regime or administration, is always better than the present. But remember every beautiful things was born out of chaos... u want peace, prepare for w**.... but we naija ppl re just too timid too make right the wrongs too... we then tend to go tribalistic n start blaming one another. God bless Nigeria.
It’s logical for Nigeria to divide along three lines or at least practice regional form of government. The weaker the central government the better for the nation . A new constitution is needed , resources management is needed. Federal government don’t have anything to do with businesses let them focus on foreign policies and defending territorial integrity and let every region develop by its own .
honestly, this documentary could have been better...like wtf...it is so shallow, no critical analysis at all. 9 wasted minutes. That said, I think the Nation of Nigeria was started on the wrong foundation, there was no structure, no collective vision. Nothing binds us as a people, not even the first leaders had a common bond. they thought they did, until the British left and their differences were highlighted and every one sought their individual pockets. Until the foundation/structure of Nigeria is revisited and renegotiated, the status quo will never change. Period!
The coup did not really help us, rather it was the source of inter-tribal and ethnic wars. The worst civilian rule is still better than a military administration. Think about this, suppose Nigeria had been practicing democracy since 1966, there is a very good chance that we could have matured and develop a functioning system. Military government drew us backward which still affect us until now. This is why we have recycled military administrators coming back to government. In my opinion a sustained democracy would have been much better...
I will say as a friend you have started well. Keep the good works up and never mind the critics but use them as the energizing zeal to higher ground of success. God bless you
When power fall into the hands of the wrong people. Small boys who got into power, maybe the reason why a young man can never rule a nation. I thought the military was a peace keeping force and not for chaos like this.
Why won't he be killed he was triballistic, he did nothing but protected the Igbo coup leaders even Igbo political leaders were told to leave and go hide outside the country why they kill other tribes, is that fare to you.
To my own taught. I believe god on is own creat Nigeria to be together be either ibgo, Hausa or my beloved Yorubas we are meant together till da kingdom done come so there is nothing can separate us, so Nigerians let's get these to our head the earlier we know the better we show some love ..god bless Nigeria
My friend...you don't have any idea of what happened in the 1966 coup...let me just give you a tip of what happened...the coup which was masterminded by the Igbo soldiers was to restore peace and order and to stop the high rate of corruption. They intended to put Awolowo as the prime minister...i know that you are not going to talk about it because this one involved a Yoruba person!
Just that Tim played a major role like ifeajuna then the 4 other major that planed the coup. Don't okafor was very weak that Saturday, it was on his part that the coup failed in Lagos.
From my observation, with all available information at my disposal, The 1966 was simply Nigerians chance to have gain a wonderful governance. The failed coup was our downfall, it ought to have been successful. I am 100% certain the west was against it. Remember my people, whatever America supports, run away from it. And I still believe that the coup is coming back, it is necessary, because we have Western puppets in Government. This is not an ethic thing it's a national thing. I hope the coup happens in my life time, my people have suffered in the hands of the west.
please share with us, what you think has not been captured (or outright lies) in the mini feature. it was produced based on available public records and interviews with people who claimed to be around by then. Instead of exchanging insults, please let's make it more academic by adding information you think has been left out. Nigeria shall be great again!
based on which public records? you didn't quote any..interviews from two inconsequential men from a certain part of the nation? who ''claimed''....lol your journalism is quite laughable, what was said at the end of the interview..''no coupe changed Nigeria like nzeagwu'..says a lot, am not sure your reason for making this clip, but that statement says a lot..am above the level of the average Nigerian, mentally, spiritually and other wise...so for what ever reason this clip was made you know best...ill not decesnd to the quagmire, and bitter level of the average nigerian from which you seem to belong..shalom
OBA Adeoye Your attempt at a documentary like this is commendable, but it has fallen far shot of the actual event that unfolded. Nine minutes is too short to narrate even a summary of what happened on 15 January 1966. I will advice you to meet all the personae dramatist that are still alive and gather data from them and do a balanced reportage, if you are doing it for the progress of the nation. If not you will only be opening old wounds that are yet to heal. All we know is that 5 Majors , 4 Igbos and one Yoruba, set out in the night of 15 Jan 66 to carry out a coup. At the end of their exercise, they killed civilian and military leaders of the; northern, western and mid-western regions of Nigeria and left the civilian and military leaders of the eastern region intact to go scot-free. That was what triggered the initial reaction against the Igbos. This is a fact no one can change. You can start your story from there. If your aim is to be objective.
Relying on word of mouth to produce "factual" content is quite inefficient. Especially when you do not take the time to include testimonies from all angles of the political spectrum at the time.
Envy by northerners against the Igbos caused the civil war , not really the coup of 1966 January. After all coups & coups have been happening since then, why didn't it cause civil wars?
That's not true. It was the greed and igbos arrogance that caused it . The NORTHERN military guys led by General Murtala Mohammed countered the Coup and eliminated more than half of the igbos Officers in retaliation . ( You dig ? )
But one unpopular truth is that Nigeria is never one country and unless we find a way to separate our selves into atleast 4 country, there will never be true love or lasting peace among us. Our colonial master joined us together for their selfishness.
Because of this coup, Igbo people became third citizen in Nigeria,the condition of igbos in Nigeria today is because of this coup and the dominace of Hausa/Fulani people in the Nigerian politics today is because of this coup.My question is without this coup, what would be the position of Igbo people in Nigeria today and how Nigeria would look like??
how come nobody ever pinned it on the late awolowo , that he is still responsible for the jan , 15, 66 coup, he tried to do it outside, but the ibo and npc just put him in jail , but inside the jail he carried it out by using the six ibo soldiers to do it , nobody ever said he did it anyway
Normal yoruba sentimental documentary. 1966 coup was Igbo after they plan they will put igbo in front when it goes wrong igbo will carry the cross but thank God for Nnamdi Kalu same history could have repeated again #Sowere#2019#Revolution. Wasted 9min and data.

All development projects on Indian land must be reviewed and authorized by the government, a process that is notoriously slow and burdensome. On Indian lands, companies must go through at least four federal agencies and 49 steps to acquire a permit for energy development. Off reservation, it takes only four steps. This bureaucracy prevents tribes from capitalizing on their resources.
No No No... Too many inaccuracies in this report. Mr Oba Adeoye should have done more research. This is the problem with not studying History in Nigeria. So many inaccuracies are left to fester and grow. That's why Nigeria is the way it is today.
Yes, you are right but the Igbos will never admit it and show remorse but anyways the got slaughtered for their evil ways and lost millions of their people for not been sensible and they still behave abnormal up till today.
The problem of Africa is defunct institutions. Bad leaders can do better with better institutions. Good leaders can only achieve a little with bad institutions

@@kekere04 don't say what u ain't sure of The igbos where massacred in the north... Train filled with Ibo corps transported daily back to the east. After the peace conference agreement in Ghana, the Nigerian government broke the agreement

The federal government is responsible for managing Indian affairs for the benefit of all Indians. But by all accounts the government has failed to live up to this responsibility. As a result, Native American reservations are among the poorest communities in the United States. Here’s how the government keeps Native Americans in poverty.
An igbo soldier Col Arthur Unegbe was killed in that coup. And Ahmadu hello was found hiding among his wives and Nzeogwu shot him and his wives. The commentary is too biased and it is seeking to make it appear like it was tribal
Wasn't it really tribal? If Ahmadu Bello, Akinyola and Tafawa Balewa were killed in blood and Nnamdi Azikwe spared and honourably allowed stepped down. Mind you, the then highest ranking military personnel, Brig Gen Zakari Maimalari was killed during the coup along with his wife on his wedding day at the reception! What's says u about the above fact? However the fact that some soldiers from a particular section of a country did something wrong decades ago, it does not warrant the apparent marginalization of decendants of their kinsmen who have no hand or idea about it!
A nation like Nigeria can't never and wasn't democratic because everything comes with a price. Without morality, democracy wud be one of the worst form of government, ignorancy is a choice,insight is a choice. The name we wud fight is the day our blindfold shall be removed, the problem of Nigeria is the nation can not be destroyed by evil leaders but good people that kept silent and did nothing.we fight for a cause we believe in.let us be wise Nigerians or we shall be forever foolish

The coup did not really help us, rather it was the source of inter-tribal and ethnic wars. The worst civilian rule is still better than a military administration. Think about this, suppose Nigeria had been practicing democracy since 1966, there is a very good chance that we could have matured and develop a functioning system. Military government drew us backward which still affect us until now. This is why we have recycled military administrators coming back to government. In my opinion a sustained democracy would have been much better...
God bless you.
Thank you.
Thank you too
Allah Ya isa
I will say as a friend you have started well. Keep the good works up and never mind the critics but use them as the energizing zeal to higher ground of success. God bless you
Corruption that the fourth fathers shared blood to eradicate has been legalized in Nigeria.
They have corruption practitioners in Nigeria now
When power fall into the hands of the wrong people. Small boys who got into power, maybe the reason why a young man can never rule a nation. I thought the military was a peace keeping force and not for chaos like this.
So what of the old men now in power, those small boys you just have to admire their patriotism and fearlessness
Why didn't you tell us how Ironsi was killed?
Don't mind them, they will leave that out because it doesn't help their cause.
Good point
Why won't he be killed he was triballistic, he did nothing but protected the Igbo coup leaders even Igbo political leaders were told to leave and go hide outside the country why they kill other tribes, is that fare to you.
@@chakazuluone u told them? Ironsi was murdered
you cannot change history no matter how much you try
It is right. The first Nigerian coup is the only one that somhow change the course of Nigeria history.
Twisted history... The fact was that the coup was stopped by Ironsi and Ojukwu respectively... What a paradox...
And you think What sardauna said is not true? think #
To my own taught. I believe god on is own creat Nigeria to be together be either ibgo, Hausa or my beloved Yorubas we are meant together till da kingdom done come so there is nothing can separate us, so Nigerians let's get these to our head the earlier we know the better we show some love ..god bless Nigeria
What makes you think that it's God who created Nigeria
Nigeria was created by the British.....not "God"
My friend...you don't have any idea of what happened in the 1966 coup...let me just give you a tip of what happened...the coup which was masterminded by the Igbo soldiers was to restore peace and order and to stop the high rate of corruption. They intended to put Awolowo as the prime minister...i know that you are not going to talk about it because this one involved a Yoruba person!
If I were you Africand: You're so wrong. This is the true documentary of what took place. Don't spread lies.
Get your facts straight. The 5th soldier was Major Donatus Okafor, not Timothy Onwatuegwu. Bad journalism!
Just that Tim played a major role like ifeajuna then the 4 other major that planed the coup. Don't okafor was very weak that Saturday, it was on his part that the coup failed in Lagos.
From my observation, with all available information at my disposal, The 1966 was simply Nigerians chance to have gain a wonderful governance. The failed coup was our downfall, it ought to have been successful. I am 100% certain the west was against it. Remember my people, whatever America supports, run away from it. And I still believe that the coup is coming back, it is necessary, because we have Western puppets in Government. This is not an ethic thing it's a national thing. I hope the coup happens in my life time, my people have suffered in the hands of the west.
Adelani Akamo Careful what you wish for sir
Sorry this was all your people not AMERICANS.
@@thegeminiguy1065 it was the British. There's evidence of this
The victimhood card , never seizes to amaze.
Well done .
Truth need to be said to those that views lifeless ones, let be one 9iga nothing to fight for, do your best and leaved the rest ,
tal2me9ja You talk anyhow!! Nobody listens to a Madman.....Please present your opinions without swear words man!
please share with us, what you think has not been captured (or outright lies) in the mini feature. it was produced based on available public records and interviews with people who claimed to be around by then.
Instead of exchanging insults, please let's make it more academic by adding information you think has been left out. Nigeria shall be great again!
based on which public records? you didn't quote any..interviews from two inconsequential men from a certain part of the nation? who ''claimed''....lol your journalism is quite laughable, what was said at the end of the interview..''no coupe changed Nigeria like nzeagwu'..says a lot, am not sure your reason for making this clip, but that statement says a lot..am above the level of the average Nigerian, mentally, spiritually and other wise...so for what ever reason this clip was made you know best...ill not decesnd to the quagmire, and bitter level of the average nigerian from which you seem to belong..shalom
OBA Adeoye TV
OBA Adeoye Your attempt at a documentary like this is commendable, but it has fallen far shot of the actual event that unfolded. Nine minutes is too short to narrate even a summary of what happened on 15 January 1966. I will advice you to meet all the personae dramatist that are still alive and gather data from them and do a balanced reportage, if you are doing it for the progress of the nation. If not you will only be opening old wounds that are yet to heal. All we know is that 5 Majors , 4 Igbos and one Yoruba, set out in the night of 15 Jan 66 to carry out a coup. At the end of their exercise, they killed civilian and military leaders of the; northern, western and mid-western regions of Nigeria and left the civilian and military leaders of the eastern region intact to go scot-free. That was what triggered the initial reaction against the Igbos. This is a fact no one can change. You can start your story from there. If your aim is to be objective.
Relying on word of mouth to produce "factual" content is quite inefficient. Especially when you do not take the time to include testimonies from all angles of the political spectrum at the time.
Ojukwu asked Gowon for a coup? I am just hearing this one...this is not true
We could v gotten it right if d coup was a success
We v fools now
#Guguru FM: Sometimes one is shocked at the silly decisionsthathas brought Nigeria to her state of shame.
Emmanuel Arinze Ifeajuna masterminded the Coup not Nzeogu
The hate for hausas are not new, but you cant stop it.
Envy by northerners against the Igbos caused the civil war , not really the coup of 1966 January. After all coups & coups have been happening since then, why didn't it cause civil wars?
That's not true. It was the greed and igbos arrogance that caused it . The NORTHERN military guys led by General Murtala Mohammed countered the Coup and eliminated more than half of the igbos Officers in retaliation . ( You dig ? )
@@alibabakano2971 N that's your joy right?,n you are not done with the killing yet abi?
And murtala Mohammed was eliminated years later. you dig?
african americans here need to hear this
Pls. We should forget what happened in the past and move together. We support our ethnic sentiments .even in the families their are misunderstand.
But one unpopular truth is that Nigeria is never one country and unless we find a way to separate our selves into atleast 4 country, there will never be true love or lasting peace among us. Our colonial master joined us together for their selfishness.
All I like was the sound of the killing gunshots.. lol
Because of this coup, Igbo people became third citizen in Nigeria,the condition of igbos in Nigeria today is because of this coup and the dominace of Hausa/Fulani people in the Nigerian politics today is because of this coup.My question is without this coup, what would be the position of Igbo people in Nigeria today and how Nigeria would look like??
Biafra way out
how come nobody ever pinned it on the late awolowo , that he is still responsible for the jan , 15, 66 coup, he tried to do it outside, but the ibo and npc just put him in jail , but inside the jail he carried it out by using the six ibo soldiers to do it , nobody ever said he did it anyway
Nigeria Yoruba documentary history
Nigeria has wasted more human life now than the time of 1966 coup which shows that the marriage is not made in heaven
I doubt this clip.
This was the beginning of housa igbo yoruba mistrust started
The most intelligent and constructive comment.
Normal yoruba sentimental documentary. 1966 coup was Igbo after they plan they will put igbo in front when it goes wrong igbo will carry the cross but thank God for Nnamdi Kalu same history could have repeated again #Sowere#2019#Revolution. Wasted 9min and data.

All development projects on Indian land must be reviewed and authorized by the government, a process that is notoriously slow and burdensome. On Indian lands, companies must go through at least four federal agencies and 49 steps to acquire a permit for energy development. Off reservation, it takes only four steps. This bureaucracy prevents tribes from capitalizing on their resources.
there is no right reason for a wrong action
No No No... Too many inaccuracies in this report. Mr Oba Adeoye should have done more research. This is the problem with not studying History in Nigeria. So many inaccuracies are left to fester and grow. That's why Nigeria is the way it is today.
Do you have to rewrite history?
This is the day Nigeria down fall started
Yes, you are right but the Igbos will never admit it and show remorse but anyways the got slaughtered for their evil ways and lost millions of their people for not been sensible and they still behave abnormal up till today.
Military is better than now
The problem of Africa is defunct institutions. Bad leaders can do better with better institutions. Good leaders can only achieve a little with bad institutions
Every where is bad leaders I'm sick and tired of them ,more and more taxes. God bless you
I repeat,,,, why were they afraid of Mr idiagbon in the military?......

Is there anything like Nigeria in the first place zoo
Yes
Why didnt you talk about the 8th other coupe
black American student of African history here... no mention of the genocide against Southeastern peoples, one of the main motivating factors for the civil war?
LBoogs their greed lead to the civil war
@@kekere04 don't say what u ain't sure of
The igbos where massacred in the north... Train filled with Ibo corps transported daily back to the east.

The federal government is responsible for managing Indian affairs for the benefit of all Indians. But by all accounts the government has failed to live up to this responsibility. As a result, Native American reservations are among the poorest communities in the United States. Here’s how the government keeps Native Americans in poverty.
English in the old days where better than now
An igbo soldier Col Arthur Unegbe was killed in that coup. And Ahmadu hello was found hiding among his wives and Nzeogwu shot him and his wives. The commentary is too biased and it is seeking to make it appear like it was tribal
Wasn't it really tribal? If Ahmadu Bello, Akinyola and Tafawa Balewa were killed in blood and Nnamdi Azikwe spared and honourably allowed stepped down. Mind you, the then highest ranking military personnel, Brig Gen Zakari Maimalari was killed during the coup along with his wife on his wedding day at the reception! What's says u about the above fact? However the fact that some soldiers from a particular section of a country did something wrong decades ago, it does not warrant the apparent marginalization of decendants of their kinsmen who have no hand or idea about it!
Oga ur body language gives you away
Our problem commenced from this.
A nation like Nigeria can't never and wasn't democratic because everything comes with a price. Without morality, democracy wud be one of the worst form of government, ignorancy is a choice,insight is a choice. The name we wud fight is the day our blindfold shall be removed, the problem of Nigeria is the nation can not be destroyed by evil leaders but good people that kept silent and did nothing.we fight for a cause we believe in.let us be wise Nigerians or we shall be forever foolish
