So Buhari led a coup in 1983. He toppled a democratic government yet we voted him as president 2 times.
Rightly so, one is blaming the Fulani for this. Stop the Igbo hate.

Urchins are just propagating Igbo hate. Having fielded an unmarketable candidate, they have turned to be bigotry.

It wasn't the same. The 1966 coup was planned by a section of junior Ibo officers who took out the entire military and civilian leadership of the north and West, while the 1983 coup was carried out by the majority of the armed forces leadership. The 1966 coup was an Ibo coup

The baalablu tribal bigots are a bunch of hypocrites as you know, so they’ll start speaking grammar for you, like this:

The 1983 coup was an atypical indispensable circumstantial inexorable episode catalyzed by expedient exigencies

Bukar Sukar Dimka emptied a full magazine of bullets in the head of Gen Murtala Mohammed while Murtala was the Head of State! Dimka was arrested and killed for this! If I ask any of you about Dimkas ethnicity, 99% won't know!

Major Gideon Orkar blasted most of Doddan baracks in his quest to arrest Babangida during his coup. Lots of people died. He will later exercise the present day North West including Niger State out of Nigeria and freely handed them over to Niger republic!
Few people here know about Orkars tribe!

So what's the fixation on the January 15 coup? The present Head of State has participated in atleast 3 coups! Yet you all rewarded him with the presidency! The fulani herdsmen are emptying villages all over Nigeria in the most gruesome ways possible, yet no one harasses Atiku or Kwankwaso about that! Boko Haram wants to turn all of Nigeria into a Muslim caliphate! But none of you is worried about Shettimma as a vee pee.., a man accused of starting Boko Haram!

Let's just say that the January 15 coup had become a very convinient smokescreen, through which all firebrand tribalist in Nigeria, attack their political rivals from the East, without any fear of being called out for such crude petty brand of base politics.

Majority of you are just so daft. Anytime the 1965 coup is mentioned especially being undisputedly an Igbo coup , then you begin to counter it with other coups that took place.

Common sense should tell you that the 1965 coup is the first Nigerian coup which makes it a very important one, especially for a Newly birthed nation in which each region is represented by distinct leaders . Akintola, Bello and Azikiwe.

Secondly, a tribe of Azikiwe(Igbo) killed most important representatives of Yorubas and hausas i.e Akintola and Bello respectively , but then you keep comparing such an important coup with some Orkar or Buhari coup ..

Those who were bragging about the coup by Igbo soldiers before are now denying their own just because of Obi's fruitless ambition that is heading nowhere.

I'm not surprise cos the same people chanting and egging on Nnamdi kanu has already thrown him under the bus simply because of the desperate quest for an Igbo man to become Nigeria president.

The main reason the first coup in 1966 is rightly referred to as an Igbo Coup and is distinct from any subsequent coup, is not only because of the ethnicity of the conspirators, but because the main beneficiaries of the coup were Igbo and the main victims were Yoruba and Northern Leaders.

1. The Top Military Officers from the North and West were also murdered alongside Sardauna Ahmadu Bello, Prime Minister Tafawa Balewa and Sir Akintola (Premier of SW). No senior Igbo was touched…

2. Making way for Aguiyi Ironsi - an Igbo man - to become Head of State.

3. Ironsi refused to punish the Igbo murderous coupists and instead went ahead to abolish the regions to cement the intended imaginary Igbo dominion and hegemony over Nigeria which fortunately they lacked the capacity to see through. Ironsi was eventually arrested by Danjuma and his men in the July counter-coup and his body was found in a forest afterwards.

To find out the perpetrator of any crime - identify the motive and main beneficiary, and you have your criminal.

.

Fulani planned a coup to topple another fulani, and didn't go on a killing spree of other regional heads while sparing his own. What form of contaminated brain would compare that to what happened in 1966?!

Oh I see. So it is important because it was the first coup? Is there any country in West Africa that did not go through coup in the 60's and 70's? They all did, there's a first time for everything

The nature of coup us that officers from a particular part of the country come together and plan coup


Murtalas couo is never called a Hausa coup

Buhari's coup is never called a Fulani coup

Babangidas coup is never called a Gwari coup

None of the 7 other coups that happened in Nigeria has ethnic tag except that first coup


Even though your current President overthrew the democratically elected government of Shehu Shagari, you Nigerians had no problems electing and re-electing him

But if an Igbo man runs for the same office, you people will remember first coup and give it ethnic tag
