Looking at what we are seeing in Nigeria now, it would have been better for the ibo officers to leave Yoruba officers to do the job of restoring Awolowo. I blame them for being over patriotic. The slaughter of ibos in the north that led to the civil war wouldn't have happened. Is a lesson for everyone.
Excuse me, could you please tell me where you got that rare image of Nzeogwu standing behind Ironsi and in front of Ojukwu? Thank you.

@@HistoryVille 0:07 just as the video started
No. That was not Nzeogwu. That was Aguiyi-Ironsi's Aide-de-Camp.
@@HistoryVille Correct. That was Andrew Nkwankwo of the Airforce. He served as one of Ironsi's ADCs along with Sani Bello.
@@HistoryVille my bad, looked like Nzeogwu in my eyes.
The military was brutal.
A lot of horrible things have happened in Nigeria especially during the military
Gowon created twelve and not twenty states
I read that one Col Arthur Unegbe an ibo man was killed in Lagos. Who is saying that no ibo man was killed
Col unegbe is a nobody, he wasn’t a major stakeholder so strike that out
A colonel in the Nigeria Army as of then, you're referring to as nobody, you must be out of your senses@@soccerbants4876
No Igbo man was killed in that first coup and that is the problem of Nigeria till date. Leaving the politicians then, Nigeria would have been great now
It was a revolution and never a coup
You are very wrong. The whole corruption in Nigeria then was by Akintola, Okotiebo, and Saduana. The crisis was in the West, and the Balewa government sanctioned the killing of the TIV indigenous population.
@@charlesacha7783 the corruption was only concentrated in the west akintola, Niger delta okotie ebo and the north sardauna just as the east is not corrupt today. Dey mumu yourself? Azikiwe the president was corrupt free, they have to give him first hand information to travel out when they want to stage the coup. There is corruption that time but it was minimal, we would have learnt and improve on democracy by then and develop our regions by now. Military alter the regional system that is making us developing on the high speed then. All military government after that was from one disaster to another and that is why we are where we are today.
Chris unegbe is an igbo man killed in the first coup.. Adewale Ademoyega one of the first coup plotters from youruba said in his book "why we struck chapter 3 page 35 eish".. The main objective of the coup was to release awolowo and make him the President .. So don't blame igbos people for the first coup , they did what a patriotic Nigerian would have done ..
Since people called for a revolution to end corruption akintola and Co imposed on Nigeria ..
Nigeria is great country and super power with in the continent of Africa
Story
Obasanjo gave nigeria to an ignorant Shagari. That is the begning of Nigeria falieur.

Why expose your ignorance. Is Col Chris Unegbe who was killed in that coup from heaven? Was he not an Igbo man? The fact is that the mutiny of July 1966 was uncalled for.
