Debunking The Lies Surrounding Nzeogwu Coup. by Udmaster(m): 10:16pm On Jan 15, 2017 |
Today is January 15th. Look around the social media, you will find out that Nzeogwu is an igbo man today. His ethnicity is no longer in question. After today, Nzeogwu will come from mid-west, Bini or Delta. The Nigerian State is built on a false foundation. Too many lies and Mis-information. They start the narrative with Nzeogwu planning a coup which led to the killing of Northern and Western plus Chief Okotie Eboh with no single igbo dying In the Coup. This is notwithstanding the fact that Colonel Arthur Unegbe died in that coup. He did not just die, the coup plotters shot at him because he refused to give them the key to the armoury. But the Nigerian narrative will not tell you about Arthur because he is not as human as Sarduana. I just left a thread where full grown men who are old enough to be my daddies and uncles are discussing the January coup, without any idea whatsoever that an Igbo man died in that coup. It is this same crop of individuals that people rely no for the accounts of the war. God forbid! I have always know there are too many lies in this country. I started reading my own books. When you pick up Ruth First book, "The Barrel of a Gun", you will start wondering if these tale bearers are sane. Even the surrender of the Biafrans after the war is an object of lies. NIGERIA have not been able to ascertain whether Obasanjo was a hero in that war or not. Thanks or No thanks to Alabi Isama (depending on which side of the divide you are), we now know that Obasanjo lied in "My Command". One of these tale bearers on the thread I referred to stated that the yorubas who joined Nzeogwu in the coup execution were co-opted. When I read him, my mind went straight to the book I read written by one of the coup plotters- Adewale Ademoyega. MAJOR ADEWALE ADEMOYEGA who was not only an ear and eye witness, but also, participated throughout in the planning and execution of the January 15, 1966 coup, from Genesis to Revelation. He was one of the SEVEN MAJORS who held the one and only formal meeting of the coup, one of the FIVE MAJORS that planned and executed the coup and also one of the THREE MAJORS that formed the inner core! No wonder his book "WHY WE STRUCK", received scant or no attention from Nigerian reading public especially the Yorubas and the Northerners. The guy wrote what you people do not want to hear. Let me ask a question, "why are people hardly quoting Adewale's book? Was he also co-opted to write the book? ADEWALE ADEMOYEGA is a FULL AND RED BLOODED YORUBA IN NAME AND BEING! Now tell me, should I listen to Adewale or you? Does what Adewale say when placed alongside your jokes not make you sound like a clown? I decided to use the book of this man so that nobody will accuse me of using "igbo book filled with lies". The Epic of it is when Adewale wrote "Contrary to the load of wicked propaganda that has since been heaped on us, there was no decision in our meeting to single out any particular ethnic group for elimination or destructionOur intentions were honourable , our views were national and our goals were idealistic. We intended that the coup should be national in execution so that it would receive national acclamation. We planned that the use of force should be minimal so that our methods could at once be seen as superior to those of the politicians, who simply went on killing the very people they were called upon to govern. The need to bring more of the middle level officers (Majors and Lieutenant – Colonels) was discussed. But the few names that could be mentioned had to be dropped because their interpersonal connections would compromise the security of the planning. After ninety minutes of discussion, the meeting was over. We dispersed as if from a prayer meeting since it was a Sunday and the Lord was in our midst…….." I only feel pity for those of you crying over the Sarduana. It does not affect me one bit. While you cry over Sarduana, I have my own cries. I cry over the almost 30,000 igbo civilians massacred for a coup plotted by their brethren which they were never part of. To justify the death of thousands of men and women killed during the counter coup, you lie that there was a song by an igbo titled 'Ewu na Ebe Akwa'. As a good research person, a quick search reveals that this song was done by Rex Lawson, an IJAW man and was not even done the year the event happened. I am still searching for the igbo singer till date. I will not mind anyone helping me out. Then there is this story about bread label. The owner of this bread company is still a mystery to ALL OF US. Na UNA sabi. What I do know is that Nzeogwu was applauded by even Northern officers after the coup. It took days before the tribal angle was added to the event. So while you mourn Sarduana, Akintola and the rest today, I mourn Ironsi, Fajuyi, Major Isong, Hillary Njoku, Capt. Okoye, Okonweze, Obienu, plus several other officers and civilians who were innocent of that coup but died by sheer wickedness. 17 Likes 2 Shares |

Your mumurity is legendary, the fact that you don't know history or don't agree doesn't mean those full grown men are dumb History was recorded by several nations and different authors all of which agreed that nzeogwu indeed led the coup , only one ibo was killed for not providing support and he was killed before the coup itself started, fearing he would alert the presidency Oh and if it's not just plain mumurity, you are saying one ibo killed justifies that it's not ibo coup? How many hausas and Yorubas were killed is it one each? If you don't know what to do, Gerrara his meen 7 Likes 2 Shares |

When you people are ready, you will forget about all this nonsense and move on. Even The Great Ojukwu moved on. He fought the Nigeria Govt in physical battle not twitter or nairaland or broadcast. Killing several and losing several soldiers too. He surrendered and got re-integrated back. He even believed in our democracy and contested to be President of THE Federal Republic of Nigeria. His wife was given several political appointments. While u waste ur life dwelling in the past Ekweremadu is Deputy Senate President and 98% of Ibo Senators even supporting Saraki who is a Northerner. When stealing or sharing money, they are ONE but once stealing stops and prosecution is on the way, they scream marginalisation and pass the baton to hopeless charlatans to scream Biafra. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Udmaster: [i]What a load of rubbish! You guys keep on quoting Ademoyega 's book but conveniently ignore the British and Nigerian Special branch investigation report which clearly states that Ademoyega was recruited in or around November 1965 whilst the coup itself was conceived in August of the same year. If Ademoyega swallowed the lies sold him by Ifeajuna, then that's his prerogative to do so just as he also believed that the coupists were going to spring Awo from prison when it's common knowledge that he is an Awoist to the core.[ /i] |

They tagged it an Igbo coup just to justify their unjustifiable killing of 30000 Igbo civilians(not to mention the military personnel). While the Yoruba forgot aim of the coup was to make Awolowo Prime Minister so as to address the ongoing riot in the west. Shebi Ifeajuna is from Delta State...... and should be addressed Delta Igbo or Niger delta or South South. When did it change to just "IGBO" Nigeria and Propaganda sef |

The coup was not an igbo coup They termed it an igbo coup out of hatred for igbos Fulanis Hausas and afonjas will never tell you that hassan katsina gave nzeogu directions to ahmadu bellos house yet the same man is being celebrated throughout hausa land as a hero They will never tell you that the premier of the eastern region Dr Michael okpara was almost killed by the coup plotters when he tried to resist his arrest like akintola if not for the intervention of Dr Akanu Ibiam the governor of eastern nigeria the coup plotters would have shot okpara on the spot I am not absolving some of the coup plotters like Ifeajuna who deviated from the plan by killing prime minister balewa |

Hmmm. Quite insightful. I have come to agree that every other tribe doesn't like every other tribe . One thing I know is that the ingredients for break up which I sincerely know will happen soon are, 1. Mistrust. 2. Envy. 3. False history etc All these I see all around today. |

What I know is all these biafra talk is of no effect,null and void.U can never separate an average Igbo man from Lagos.Their obsession with Lagos is legendary.Let them take the steps taken by Jews in the 1800's by returning to Isreal to settle there b4 getting their state in 1948.I will take them serious.U can't eat ur cake and have it!. |
