Well, it's far worse today in Nigeria than then, corruption and extreme flamboyant and extravagance living amongst politicians, and the citizens are suffering and smiling when they are supposed to be living great lives due to all the resources God has blessed Nigeria with.
This is true, the coup e'tat in 1966 that supposedly was to overthrow the First Republic' government corruption, but it is was worsen for the new Nigeria's nation that until today it cannot relieve the huge problem and creating more resesment for the entire people. I hope it will change soon.
How can it change our course for the better when the Igbos who slaughtered Kings and leaders of other tribe and show no remorse and paid dearly for millions who died in the Biafra war, it was well deserved, you killed their Emir and kept trading and living with them in the North as if all is well, funny Igbos.
...abeg, let's be honest - as an historical piece, this is woefully inadequate and seriously lacking in substance. It is so poor that the author shouldn't even have bothered. Enough of the mediocrity. Na wa.
we are not to use past mistakes to judge present situations, we are in a dawn of a new era. the question here is , what are we doing now to correct those mistakes done by our fathers so that our younger generations to come wont be victims to negative circumstances.
That coup should have happened now if we still had such selfless brave officers. The current fulanization could have been prevented. The recent retirement of several brigadier generals was an eye opener. How could we suffer so much security lapses with all those generals drawing salaries? No one knew we had so many useless generals.
If we fail to have a honest conversation about this coup we won't learn the real lessons in it. My lessons are: 1. May God give us luck in all our endeavors 2. Even if you are running the best government with the most pristine of policies, you should never condone corruption, waste and lavishness. This will only breed hate and the masses will feel that you are underperforming 3. Absolute power is not necessary for progress. It was Ahmadu Bello's search for absolute power that destabilized the west and created the political environment that required his ousting. Nigeria cannot have a king, the president or whoever will only emerge based on consensus and not by the willpower of one strong man 3. If you set out to catch a thief, catch him and met justice fully. Ironsi's politics is what messed everything up. He could have put an end to everything by trying Ifeajuna and co properly, not relocating Nzeogwu to the east and at least satisfying the thirst of the Northerners. 4. Ironsi was naive in addressing the tribal wars that were starting under his feet. Promoting those eastern officers was unwise. Know what is obtainable and sticking to it is a key success factor
one thing I know is that only in Nigeria, each past govt or regime or administration, is always better than the present. But remember every beautiful things was born out of chaos... u want peace, prepare for w**.... but we naija ppl re just too timid too make right the wrongs too... we then tend to go tribalistic n start blaming one another. God bless Nigeria.
Adaeze Eze , very true, but it was sabotaged. Hence the reason it wasn't successful. Aguiyi Ironsi didn't sleep at home that very night of the coup. I wonder who passed the information to him? Aguiyi Ironsi and Tafawa Balewa were the task that was given to Emmaunel Ifeajuna in Lagos, but unfortunately for him, he came up short.
I think you guys are crazy, simply because you dont know what the coup was folding you thinks it should have been better, may worse than rwanda. and are you saying God did not do justice as He decide to let it be the way it is now?? hypocrites are you
honestly, this documentary could have been better...like wtf...it is so shallow, no critical analysis at all. 9 wasted minutes. That said, I think the Nation of Nigeria was started on the wrong foundation, there was no structure, no collective vision. Nothing binds us as a people, not even the first leaders had a common bond. they thought they did, until the British left and their differences were highlighted and every one sought their individual pockets. Until the foundation/structure of Nigeria is revisited and renegotiated, the status quo will never change. Period!
They also referred to the Sardaun'as residence as a mansion, while all the others were sought out in their residences. There are other comments that indicate the authors bias as well., Including his comment abou.t the Unitary Government
My question is why did the military coup of 1966, lead to the massacre of Igbo civilians? How many coups have we had in Nigeria? How many were master minded by Housas ? Did they lead to the massacre of innocent Housa civilians? Even after the civil war, why so much massacre of Igbos? What use is one Nigeria, if I cannot live freely in every part of Nigeria?
Angelica kweku Stupid ibo man. When did the Yoruba or Hausa execute a coup based on tribal lines? Wasn't it the ibos that murdered the founding fathers of Nigeria, killed off the Hausa and Yoruba leadership, then installed themselves as the rulers of all three regions. And you're wondering why ibos were killed like chickens. This is why you people must leave Nigeria.
I will say as a friend you have started well. Keep the good works up and never mind the critics but use them as the energizing zeal to higher ground of success. God bless you
please share with us, what you think has not been captured (or outright lies) in the mini feature. it was produced based on available public records and interviews with people who claimed to be around by then. Instead of exchanging insults, please let's make it more academic by adding information you think has been left out. Nigeria shall be great again!
based on which public records? you didn't quote any..interviews from two inconsequential men from a certain part of the nation? who ''claimed''....lol your journalism is quite laughable, what was said at the end of the interview..''no coupe changed Nigeria like nzeagwu'..says a lot, am not sure your reason for making this clip, but that statement says a lot..am above the level of the average Nigerian, mentally, spiritually and other wise...so for what ever reason this clip was made you know best...ill not decesnd to the quagmire, and bitter level of the average nigerian from which you seem to belong..shalom
OBA Adeoye Your attempt at a documentary like this is commendable, but it has fallen far shot of the actual event that unfolded. Nine minutes is too short to narrate even a summary of what happened on 15 January 1966. I will advice you to meet all the personae dramatist that are still alive and gather data from them and do a balanced reportage, if you are doing it for the progress of the nation. If not you will only be opening old wounds that are yet to heal. All we know is that 5 Majors , 4 Igbos and one Yoruba, set out in the night of 15 Jan 66 to carry out a coup. At the end of their exercise, they killed civilian and military leaders of the; northern, western and mid-western regions of Nigeria and left the civilian and military leaders of the eastern region intact to go scot-free. That was what triggered the initial reaction against the Igbos. This is a fact no one can change. You can start your story from there. If your aim is to be objective.
Relying on word of mouth to produce "factual" content is quite inefficient. Especially when you do not take the time to include testimonies from all angles of the political spectrum at the time.
It’s logical for Nigeria to divide along three lines or at least practice regional form of government. The weaker the central government the better for the nation . A new constitution is needed , resources management is needed. Federal government don’t have anything to do with businesses let them focus on foreign policies and defending territorial integrity and let every region develop by its own .
where do you get. all these names. It is called an Ibo coup because in Lagos, the Fulani President was killed while the Ibo governor general was spared. In the regions, the only Hausa/Fulani premier and the only Yoruba premier were killed while the two Ibo premiers were not touched. neral
@@nnaemekanweke9535 Why dont you simply respond to his assertion on why it is called an Igbo coup? Rather than question his knowledge capacity. He clearly stated some facts...(who was killed and who was spared).
@@joeade333 you are insisting on calling it an Igbo coup thereby turning your obviously blind eyes against the list of other fellow that participated in the coup.
The coup did not really help us, rather it was the source of inter-tribal and ethnic wars. The worst civilian rule is still better than a military administration. Think about this, suppose Nigeria had been practicing democracy since 1966, there is a very good chance that we could have matured and develop a functioning system. Military government drew us backward which still affect us until now. This is why we have recycled military administrators coming back to government. In my opinion a sustained democracy would have been much better...
When power fall into the hands of the wrong people. Small boys who got into power, maybe the reason why a young man can never rule a nation. I thought the military was a peace keeping force and not for chaos like this.
To my own taught. I believe god on is own creat Nigeria to be together be either ibgo, Hausa or my beloved Yorubas we are meant together till da kingdom done come so there is nothing can separate us, so Nigerians let's get these to our head the earlier we know the better we show some love ..god bless Nigeria
Very poor and narrow minded documentary. If you wanted to do a befitting account for a 50th anniversary, do it properly. A nine and half minute 'documentary with 2 eye witness' accounts is too shallow imho
But one unpopular truth is that Nigeria is never one country and unless we find a way to separate our selves into atleast 4 country, there will never be true love or lasting peace among us. Our colonial master joined us together for their selfishness.
Why won't he be killed he was triballistic, he did nothing but protected the Igbo coup leaders even Igbo political leaders were told to leave and go hide outside the country why they kill other tribes, is that fare to you.
My dad told me that the main thing that pitched the yoruba against the ibos was this coup. The planes to kill the leaders of north west and east. But miraculously the eastern leader Ironsi escaped.but the northern and western leader wr excuted. The northern approached the yorubas and said they killed akintola but let ironsi escape how can you trust them and that's when the west and north joined forces against the east. Validity on all sides of the story.but can we learn from it and build the country
My friend...you don't have any idea of what happened in the 1966 coup...let me just give you a tip of what happened...the coup which was masterminded by the Igbo soldiers was to restore peace and order and to stop the high rate of corruption. They intended to put Awolowo as the prime minister...i know that you are not going to talk about it because this one involved a Yoruba person!
No No No... Too many inaccuracies in this report. Mr Oba Adeoye should have done more research. This is the problem with not studying History in Nigeria. So many inaccuracies are left to fester and grow. That's why Nigeria is the way it is today.
Normal yoruba sentimental documentary. 1966 coup was Igbo after they plan they will put igbo in front when it goes wrong igbo will carry the cross but thank God for Nnamdi Kalu same history could have repeated again #Sowere#2019#Revolution. Wasted 9min and data.

I believe god on is own creat Nigeria to be together be either ibgo, Hausa or my beloved Yorubas we are meant together till da kingdom done come so there is nothing can separate us, so Nigerians let's get these to our head the earlier we know the better we show some love ..god bless Nigeria
What makes you think that it's God who created Nigeria
Nigeria was created by the British.....not "God"
Is there anything like Nigeria in the first place zoo
Nigeria Yoruba documentary history
Very poor and narrow minded documentary. If you wanted to do a befitting account for a 50th anniversary, do it properly. A nine and half minute 'documentary with 2 eye witness' accounts is too shallow imho
Aderemi Adeniran I just stumbled on this. It is also poorly researched!
Was about to say the same...poorly presented documentary.
Still 3 years later and you haven't made a documentary. You just talk a talk from small head.
there is no right reason for a wrong action
Sir
Pls. We should forget what happened in the past and move together. We support our ethnic sentiments .even in the families their are misunderstand.
But one unpopular truth is that Nigeria is never one country and unless we find a way to separate our selves into atleast 4 country, there will never be true love or lasting peace among us. Our colonial master joined us together for their selfishness.
And you think What sardauna said is not true? think #
We have not learnt enough from the Coup D'etat.
Why didn't you tell us how Ironsi was killed?
Don't mind them, they will leave that out because it doesn't help their cause.
Good point
Why won't he be killed he was triballistic, he did nothing but protected the Igbo coup leaders even Igbo political leaders were told to leave and go hide outside the country why they kill other tribes, is that fare to you.
@@chakazuluone u told them? Ironsi was murdered
My dad told me that the main thing that pitched the yoruba against the ibos was this coup.
The planes to kill the leaders of north west and east. But miraculously the eastern leader Ironsi escaped.but the northern and western leader wr excuted.
The northern approached the yorubas and said they killed akintola but let ironsi escape how can you trust them and that's when the west and north joined forces against the east.
Validity on all sides of the story.but can we learn from it and build the country
The only time we had guts
Strictly rockers
hmmm
This is like saying 10things from out of 100...
😭 they killed our northern leaders Hero Sir Amadu sardauna, and Tafawa balewa
Emmanuel Arinze Ifeajuna masterminded the Coup not Nzeogu
Partial fraction
My friend...you don't have any idea of what happened in the 1966 coup...let me just give you a tip of what happened...the coup which was masterminded by the Igbo soldiers was to restore peace and order and to stop the high rate of corruption. They intended to put Awolowo as the prime minister...i know that you are not going to talk about it because this one involved a Yoruba person!
If I were you Africand: You're so wrong. This is the true documentary of what took place. Don't spread lies.
Our problem commenced from this.
😞😞😞
We can be one nigeria
We are biafra
That's your own palava
They learnt from the western world for sure
No No No... Too many inaccuracies in this report. Mr Oba Adeoye should have done more research. This is the problem with not studying History in Nigeria. So many inaccuracies are left to fester and grow. That's why Nigeria is the way it is today.
Normal yoruba sentimental documentary. 1966 coup was Igbo after they plan they will put igbo in front when it goes wrong igbo will carry the cross but thank God for Nnamdi Kalu same history could have repeated again #Sowere#2019#Revolution. Wasted 9min and data.
We don't need war again.
Purely one-sided history.
Ojukwu asked Gowon for a coup? I am just hearing this one...this is not true
We could v gotten it right if d coup was a success
We v fools now
Nigeria has wasted more human life now than the time of 1966 coup which shows that the marriage is not made in heaven
