- How Buhari was Overthrown by Babangida in Aug. 27, 1985 in what is considered Nigeria's Best and most brilliant Coup. Today, we will take it a step further and discuss how the palace coup was executed in a systematically brilliant manner. We will also contradict the claim that the coup was bloodless. In the hours leading up to H-hour, key officers gathered in the Armoured HQ Battalion Officers Mess. To foster bonding, drinks and food were freely offered.
The main hall of the Bonny Camp Visiting Officers guesthouse on Victoria Island in Lagos served as the Coordinating Center (or War Room) for coup actions on D-Day.
The 6th Guards battalion (backed by a Recce troop) was placed on standby at the Camp to provide security for the coup planners.

As a Kenyan I am amazed by the frequency of the coups and changeovers that occurred in the early days of Nigeria. Glad to see that this is now a thing of the past and hope it never ever returns. Nigeria is too important to the continent to go the way of other banana republics in the region!
That is right! Thank you for the recognition you accord to Nigeria...I have seen that Kenyans are trying to make a statement on their leadership in the past few days. I wish you well and I hope you elect a good leader. Thanks
@@HispleMedia I certainly hope so. The transition of leadership remains one of the trickiest processes in Africa. I pray for a swift resolution 🙏🏽
Yes, it is a thing of the past because the perpetrators have graduated to be presidents and other political machinist. GREED, the primary motive has advanced unimpeded. Sad
It's a banana republic it always has been
One, Dogonyaro was Brigadier at the time of the coup, not Colonel.
Also, Col Dasuki was not part of the strike at Dodan Barracks. Dodan Barracks was attacked led by Majors Abdulmumini Aminu, Abubakar Umar and Lawan Gwadabe.
I don't understand why this channel is not getting millions of subscribers 👍
We are glad you are satisfied with with what we do here.
We started getting serious with this channel in January this year, 9 months down the line we are grateful for the growth so far... Thank you very much for your continued support...
Because Nigerians are not interested in history, and we don't learn from our mistakes
Simple-A nation that cancelled the teaching of history in its schools without a whimper of protest or resistance from those to be affected won’t have the demographics to show interest in subscribing for a channel so enlightening!
@@WarynAbi I think this is apt....you capture it as perfectly as it is. However, we grateful for the support of more than 22k people you have subbed for so far. Thank you very much for your support. we are grateful.
Share it widely on all your social media handles, and encourage other to do same if you truly want the channel to have more views. ✌
I'm so happy for listening to this story.. you will go far in Jesus name
Amen! Thank you very much for watching. I appreciate your feedback. Thanks
This was an era when military was military in Nigeria.
And, the regime marked the beginning of our military being eroded.
When Buhari-Idiagbon were in charge as military leaders, it was a pleasure for Nigeria 🇳🇬
Are you very sure? Did you experience it? Thank you for watching
@@HispleMedia nigeria was like rwanda. it was clean and corrupt politicians- civil servants were jailed. abacha and babangida took over and stole billions from nigerian people
The greatest error/mistake/mistake/fuck-up/misadventure of that coup was that they didn't kill Buhari.
Fate decided so-that he may become president in future... Thanks for watching...
I was reading account of how buhari was arrested given by Abdumumini Aminu, he claim that he led 2 others to arrest Buhari. According to him, dasuki was not there. OK, I see that you include it upfront. Well done bros.
Second coming of Buhari, made me to start loving IBB, now I see why IBB acted to remove him from power.
It is obvious that when idiagbon -
Buhari were in charge as military leaders of Nigeria, you were a baby or part of the Nigerian problem 🙄🤔
IBB would use any excuse especially friendship to remove anybody. He is the self-named "evil genius"
Thanks for sharing this info... You will go far... Keep posting
See IBB, Sense Man. He didn't Participate Actively in the Take over Battle, he went to Relax in Minna. So that if it Fails, he will Deny involvement. Baddest Guy, Evil Genius.
I think that is true!!
That's why he's called "Maradona & the evil 😈 genius "
You r doing a great job here. Keep it up
Thanks you for all your history God bless 🙏
Thank you very much watching...
Good presentation
Nigeria my country
One of easiest and smoothest coup ever..
With the present suffering under president Buhari's civilian govt, Nigerians can now appreciate the 1985 coup of Gen Babangida. Buhari is a disaster in leadership.
So much in love, good one
Thanks Bosco, you are doing well too... Thank you for watching ❤️ and giving a positive feedback. I appreciate you.
Abraham badamusi babagida. May you live long sir...me love ya..baba himself...
This coup was actually delivered systematically brilliantly. Thanks❤
That is right... Thank you bro
They directed Buhari to leave to Saudi Arabia. Cuz they didn’t want to kill him. Can never say he didn’t know
Buhari is always not aware of happenings in his own as evident in his last eight years democratic rule, so it's possible that he was not aware..
One, Dogonyaro was Brigadier at the time of the coup, not Colonel.
Secondly, Colonel Dasuki was not part of the strike at Dodan Barracks. The attack at Dodan Barracks was led by Majors Abdulmumini Aminu, Abubakar Umar and Lawan Gwadabe.
Thank you! I alluded to that somewhere in comments or so... It was after listening/reading the confession of one of the key participants. Thank you for watching and I appreciate your feedback.
Nice one
💙❤️🙏👍✅
it makes sense to say it is true he lost his important personal belongings after his residence was indiscriminately looted by erring officers. his lackadaisical attitude also contributed to his overthrow.
God bless you.What pisses me off is how despite the prevalence of super capable men ,it is this lackadaisical blockhead called Buhari that the North gave us.
We can see how he has brought shame on Northerners.
@@tarijohn1924 enough with this nonsense blame game that you're pushing, the North was not the only region that voted was it? Nigeria's problem cut across the whole be objective and look inwards.
@@abdurrahmanabubakar98 Are you now trying to give me orders?
I'm blaming the north for giving us Buhari, not blaming the north for everything.
@@tarijohn1924 blame game is foolhardy at this juncture unity is what is needed.
Unity with murderers?
Point of correction, abacha was not later informed at ibadan, abacha and babangida hatched the coup together, abacha was the coup leader, the exercise for the coup was performed at military exercise along abeokuta sokoto road and terminated at osogun, the town of ajayi crowther.l took part in that exercise and knew the date the coup will be executed, l did not sleep in the night of the coup waiting for the broadcast about the coup.
OK, thanks
Nice story
Nice to see this
I'm glad you like it... 🙏🙏. Thank you for watching 💗💗
I only see a single trend. Nigerian Soldiers and their greed. Just disgraceful
It's because they have access to destructive weaponry, it's hard not to want everything when you have the ability to destroy
Except Buhari and Murtala Mohammed
You are doing a great job since most of this are not teached in Nigeria schools thanks for letting us know more
This isn't meant to be taught in school's but rather NDA
@@umohokon5771
I believe Akadike was referring to the fact that the story was not taught in schools, because history is not a valuable subject in Nigerian schools.
Who is more important in terms of knowledge, discipline, celebrity, good governance, attitude, patriotism, and adorable and chrasmatic leader
Comparing who and who??
Intriguing
Glad you like it. Thank you for watching
Your video is informative. The only negative is your repeated use of pictures from the civil war and recycling of the same pictures over and over again
Ok, thank you for your feedback. We will use this info to improve our editing so as to continue to serve you watchable and enjoyable contents. Thank you for watching. 💙❤️
Remember hearing, "Fellow Nigerians"
That circle has been effectively put behind us. I wish we could put corruption behind us like that. Thank you for watching ♥️
Shameful military coups of Nigeria!
Absolutely! Never again a shameful used of the military in Nigeria 🇳🇬 for illegal seizures of power. If military coups can bring a stability and human development, look at the mess right in the francophones countries of Africa. As a Guinean by birth, l pray on my knees Nigeria and Nigerian to show leadership in rescuing west Africa. Because, without a rule of law, there will never be a lasting peace and economic integration of ECOWAS countries. Sans la paix et la règle du droit, aucun development économique et politique ne serait possible en Afrique de l'ouest.
@@youssefcamara3916 But if we want to make comparisons,the military regime was far better than the so-called civilian or democratic governments that have led Nigeria to ruin.
Igbos began it
@@d.bcooper2271 that’s biased and tribalistic.. this is what is keeping US back from moving forward together in this country lol
@@rccrforeverfrrdfortuneshav9823 that's fact and nothing wrong to acknowledge the fact *_especially when igbos are increasingly playing the victim card as if they weren't the mastermind of the first ever Nigerian coup det against civilian government_*
Hmmm
Sambo Dasuki wasn't among the officers that arrested the the head of State.
Corruption is as old as Nigeria's independence but it during IBB regime that it became institutionalized. Now IBB is supporting Peter Obi's candidacy. My question is, is it to right his wrong or he and Obi are just birds of a feather?
While we are most concerned about the history of Nigeria on this channel, I do not think there is any connection between an elder statesman supporting a candidate and the actions of that statesman when he was in power himself. It known that IBB killed his friend and many others during his regime, can we say has done same? Let's join hands to build a Nigeria we can all be proud of. Thank you for watching.
That is not true,NPN under Shehu Shagari started mega corruption in Nigeria.Shagari was a righteous man, other members of the party were very corrupt..
@@osaretinorobor3766 unfortunately, corruption goes way deeper and is much more older than that. In this video here, 👇we trace the history of corruption in Nigeria.

Merely looking at your name,am not surprised at who you’re and what you stands for..
@@ebuka953u no get sense
Everything is well-researched. But keep away from suppositions. Anyone who has taken organized certification exams can retrieve their certificates at a later date if they so desire.
If Bihari had any certifications to tender, how come there is no record of them to reference to date, and he cannot get the certifying bodies to release them?
Nigerians voted Buhari into power because they believed he was a person of high probity, and therefore, incorruptible. The problem is that corruption is *NOT* Nigeria's problem. Of course, there's large-scale corruption, but corruption is not the reason Nigeria has become a failed State.
(If the problem was corruption, we would have solved it, because we have been talking about corruption since the 60s.)
Consider the fact that Nigeria has remained exactly the way British Colonialists left it: *a mere collection of tribes.* We don't even have a country! So, we haven't even started yet.
While leadership and even followership is a big problem we have in Nigeria, it's also true that corruption has been a ban of our development... High level Wastr of our scarce resources, and brazen misappropriation of funds meant for development. Thank you for watching, I appreciate your feedback. 💙❤️👍
Corruption is a tangible deficit that can be easily identify, hence the overwhelming focus on it. You are correct that corruption, in as far as it relates to money and materials, is not our #1 problem.
Foundamentally, our elites have not acquit themselves with the prerequisite skills set that are fundamental to the administration of a mordern society.
You cannot just wake up one day and proceed to take over a government just because you have guns. A nation requires an assemblage of her best in all fields to succeed. Often times, everyone that should get their hands dirty in making contributions to the building of the country often stand aloof, separate from the government who they often considered as impostors at best or usurper at worst.
The emergence of democracy has exacerbated the problems because they have evolved to operate as Lords of the manor.
What to do? The elites need to reappraise their approach to the country if there is going to be any chance of improvement.
@@bola0909 I agree with you that "A nation requires an assemblage of her best in all fields to succeed."
So, yes, Nigeria's problem is lack of strategic thinking and deliberate planning for sustainable long-term growth. This cluelessnes of leadership was masked by the country's oil wealth. Less demand for oil has now exposed the gross incompetence of every Nigerian administration.
The group that inherited power from the British were *UTTERLY CLUELESS* about nation building. So, they disguised their ignorance with large-scale looting of the treasury. They looted national treasury without erecting any developmental structures. Unfortunately, the practice became the norm.
There can still be Advancement in the midst of massive corruption, if STRUCTURAL foundation is in place.
Even now, Nigeria is still drifting, as was the case when clueless individuals inherited power from the British. For instance, Nigeria is still practicing centralized economic system, which is the very opposite of the economic process that helped develop industrialized nations. Basically, Nigeria is practicing a retrogressive system that retards progress, nationalizes poverty, and equalizes all States to the same stagnation.
Shame on d Soldiers for looting Buhari's credentials
Nigeria became Leaders and now have Leaders because of Nationalists struggles, Democratic poll Franchise Activities, Coups pronouncement and now Democracy that have come to stay.
Babaginda = Maradona
Drug cartel
it's because of how easy it was for ibb to overthrrow buhari that made ibb and abacha so brutal and hustile to their fellow officers. regime protection was more important to them than anything else
Babangida's coup was not to save Nigeria. You're mistaken if you think it was. Nigeria a lot worse under IBB.
Yes, but that is not my opinion. That is the reason put forward by the coup plotters. Thank you for watching ♥️💗
Good job keeping history in order here
This person should find someone who can read better. Attempting to stress English words with Yoruba intonation makes it horrible for the listener. Just read as we read back home, or find someone who can. There are no stress placed on Nigerian name. Read as written.
Other than that, kudos for a detailed job
OK, thank you for watching.
At least they were smart and realistic because despite being fellow Northerners and Muslims like Buhari,IBB and Abacha as foresighted officers saw through Buhari's incompetence and knew Nigeria would die with Buhari as president .
Buhari wasn't even running the country,it was Idiagbon and if Buhari was not a first class dumb ass, the coup would never have happened.
Nigeria today under Buhari justifies his overthrow by the real competent force of the era.
How they were able to deceive the young people who they have all deprived of the knowledge of history to vote for them in 2015 is still a mystery to me. Thank you for watching.
@@HispleMedia Because of the rot in the the educational systems and standards.
History is not taught in our schools anymore.
Sorry to say but I think maybe we need another military regime or a revolution that would have every politician since 99 arrested and shot.
@@HispleMediaHow u say ?
Well they bought over the media space courtesy of tinubu and sold deceit at no cost.
Give one important thing Babangida did after taking over.
One Eye man giving directions to the Blind one
@@kbwalker8741 Hope you're not trying to compare him with Buhari?
My question to the story teller is.. what are your sources. Your references are important because you couldn't have been privy to all these info. Much of what you said are made up stories
Thank you for your feedback... It's and oversight if I didn't include the sources in my description... I will check that out and include as appropriate... Thanks for watching.
quite correct
My date of birth 🤣🤣
That is great... While mummy was pushing, the men on uniform were up in Arms to strike. Congratulations to you. Thank you for watching
Shame on coup planers
What I can say is that Buhari wasn't a soldier and he doesn't look like one 🧠 anyway he just used a soldier's uniform for power that is the reason he was replaced by Babangida
😆👿
It is clear you don't know anything about soldiers or the Army. Buhari might have been a disaster in leadership, whether as military head of state or as a civilian president. but he was a first rate commander of troops. the two are mutually exclusive
This is what reading history on TH-cam makes you..Buhari was a bonafide gallant regular combatant soldier and his Biafra records and antics support it.but you only get this not on TH-cam but by reading books even those written by his enemies during the war
IBB I was evil
🤔🤔🤔. He killed so many Nigerians far more than Abacha ever did! Thank you for watching 💙❤️
All these former presidents became billionaires by looting the coffers of Nigeria .
Obasanjo, Atiku,Babangida and a host of all others.
Question is how did they come about their wealth?
In Nigeria no body borders about question, talkless of the answer! Everyone is waiting for his opportunity to loot as much as he can... It's truly unfortunate. Thank you for watching. 💙❤️
