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.

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?

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.

[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"

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.
