      As you see and history have shown that Gowon was nothing without Murtala. He never a leader of any coup but a beneficiary. The first one succeeded but the second one failed. An opportunist's sort of.

    You need to stress the disproportionate number of civilians who were killed by both military and civilian northerners. Nigerians don't know enough about the pogrom. It was horrific. The July 29 coup arguably had the largest number of cold-blooded murderers who simply vanished into the mists of history -- never to be known, named, or arrested. The blood of innocent people is extremely powerful...

    How could the July coup of 1966 be said to be the bloodiest? How many and who are the people that died in it compared with the January coup? Which coup was bloodier than the one where the Prime minister (Balewa), 2 Premiers (Akintola and Bello), Finance minister (Okoti Eboh), 2 brigadiers (Ademulegun, Maimalari), including the pregnant wife of Ademulegun, Cols Pam, Largema, Kur, Sodeinde, were all killed?

      This statement is made out of ignorance.
      January 1966 coup had less than 20 casualty both politicians,army and civilians.
      July 1966 counter coup had up to half a million casualty.
      The Head of state and Western region millitary administrator, numerous military officers of eastern origin and the ethnic cleansing of Igbo civilians that followed in the north and some parts of the west.

    He would call it the "boys' coup" but it was indeed "Gowon Coup." He'd his colleague killed, following the example of Ghana.

    😂😂 that "Coup" wasnt really a coup in its traditional sense, rather a mutiny that produced a leader at the end. Gowon himself was placed at the Top to quell the Northerners and relax the Southern fears.

    Nigeria was peaceful. By that time in the 1st republic, Igbos had many appointments as federal ministers and also as Chairmen of Nigeria Railway, P&T, and many corporations, but they were not satisfied Though Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu meant well for the country, his fellow Igbos officers who were assigned to do their own job didn't perform theirs. Just because of tribalism, more so, General Ironsi, who suppose to deal with the arrested coup plotters, failed to take action on them, which is why the Northerners were aggrieved. In fact, this country would have been better than what it is today
