Bisi or whatever you call yourself. You are type that reap from conflict, from knocking heads together. I understand your game plan, which is to try to reopen old wounds by reminding the North that easterners carried out the 1966 military coup. Its another election circle so you thought that doing this, Yoruba candidates will benefit. This is a dirty game and it shows you are an ethnic bigot.
Your information is full of bias and prejudice you only present your igbos interes,the coup was tribal, because the all the igbos leaders were exempted from the killings
Nigeria has not recovered from the two unfortunate coups of 1966, it explains why the struggle for power in Nigeria has largely been "regionized" We have not outgrown the primordial sentiments that led to the 1967 civil war Great documentary, I recommend this for every young Nigerian today.
I don't think its an issue of primordial attachment, but it is the reality in the developing world national governments are weak and deliver few resources and services to the people leaving a power vacuum filled by provincial leaders and tribal leaders. If the government does not provide electricity, water , food, a good currency and security from insurgencies why the hell would I be loyal to a president in a far off capital. All we can hope is for national government manage to recruit better people to try and fix the huge economic and military issues across the continent.
Niger-Area ethnic groups were never meant to be together. At least not the Hausa, (Fulani), Igbos and the Yoruba. The trouble spots would have been central Nigeria, where largest small groups of ethnic groups were concentrated. Nigeria is a business centre for the old British empire. That’s what it was meant to be (Amalgamation of Northern and Southern Nigeria). The North cultural mindset is Feudalism and religious oriented (Islam), the Yoruba is more of social democracy economically oriented (religiously tolerant-Traditional beliefs, Christianity and Islam and more accommodating), while the Igbos were more individual capitalist oriented societies and as a Catholic enclave. Just my personal observations.
This narration was a clear picture of how our problem started in Nigeria.....had it been everyone has gone their separate ways I think we wouldn't have been into the present leadership problem we are facing till date
Wow! I really enjoyed this and looking forward to watching parts 3 & 4. I stopped midway and felt guilty for watching this without my Dad. He loves what you have put together and said that you are so accurate and no lies were told lol. This is probably the best channel on youtube that has provided an informative and ACCURATE account of Nigeria's history. Love the graphics you have provided as well. God bless you and keep the content coming!
I never did know how Tafawa Balewa transitted and watching this now had just made be sad about the unfortunate events leading to his demise. Brilliant documentary 👏
When u consider most of this generation is about passing away and many hadn't opened up,this is very good for posterity, Nigeria needs a new set of leaders who can think strategically of healing and bringing justice so we can truly move on
Well done Bisi & the entire work put together to bring out the real truth of how General Johnson Aguyi Ironsi came into power....this is quiet incisive, I love the documentary.....Love from 🇬🇭
Fantastic documentary. Us Westerners aren't exposed to much African history, so I appreciate your thorough and captivating storytelling. Thank you for sharing and I can't wait to watch the rest of the series!
He spoke many lies, first , it was not only igbos that planned the coup, an Igbo was the leader. If you challenge me I will call the names of the coup plotters.
The president was not on the list. Records show that Azikiwe far overstayed the planned duration of his leave, even to the point of running out of money. This, almost certainly, was because he knew of the coup. He was either a co-conspirator or was tipped off.
So what? This issue is nonsense. Would you rather have igbo leadership or northern leadership? Your logic is part of the problem. You seek to be right and forget that you are also human. 60 years later, what does Nigeria look like. Who would you have wanted to rule your country igbos or northerners?
@@vamoneygroup 1. This is about history and correcting a factual inaccuracy. 2. In a country that is comprised of multiple ethnicities, I would want the man that is best for the job, not the man that comes from the particular tribe I identify with more. I suggest you examine whatever logic is leading you to believe that such jingoistic sentiments make sense. Every region has had their time in the presidency and today if Igbos are fighting for freedom, and if southerners are fighting for true federalism, we have Nnamdi Azikiwe (who opposed secession against the advice of Awolowo because he wanted to be president) and Aguiyi Ironsi (who abrogated the regional system of government) to thank for foisting the current unitary system on us. Go and read your history. That is to tell you that no one tribe has a monopoly of good or bad governance.
@@redeyed33333 you have sense...its never about ethnicity, but the best candidates....Azikiwe might have been tips, I also doubt why Ironsi was not dead even when the coup plotters had all the chances to eliminate him.
@@vamoneygroup Igbo leadership? And yet Azikiwe would have been prime minister if he had entered into a coalition with Awolowo. But he refused, and instead was satisfied with playing second fiddle to Northerners. Which came back to bite him in the end.
On the death of the prime Minister, I hv just come across the news report of Friday 21, July 1966 by segun osoba where he stated that the body of balewa had no signs of gunshot on it. I'm currently working a video about it. It will be controversial but I think I will do my best to make it not our official position at Hisple Media. It's very interesting
Nice piece. Point is 66 coup will always be seen as a tribal coup and that has continually haunted Nigeria in all its dealings both political and socioeconomic. Nigeria has only 2 choice Reintegrate and form a strong bond making decisions to fast track our development as a nation and not making decision based on tribal sentiment. Or Nigeria disintegrate. Unless those two choice, we will continue to go round and round in circles and head no where.
Nonsense, would you rather have igbo leadership in the country or northern leadership? This should almost be a rhetorical question. You've had 60 years of northern rule and Nigerians are as miserable as ever.
@@vamoneygroup like I said either we Reconcile, Restructure & Rebuild or we separate. Else it’s gonna be circle circle movement generation to generation. It’s not an argument it’s a fact I am stating
So happy to learn about the history of my country unedited..this explains alot about how the military runs now and also gives a clear reason to why there is a high level of marginalization in Nigeria today...
Welldone Bisi and team. This is so elaborate and succinct. It completely compliments the things I read and learnt from Chinua Achebe's "There was a country"
Gen. Ironsi goofed big time. He had two clear action parts to follow. 1. Immediate court martial and execution of Ifeajunna, Nzeogwu and all the plotters. This would have reassured the northerners of his neutrality. 2. Dissolution of Nigeria, let each region go its separate ways. Post-independent Sub-Saharan African countries faced struggle for domination and power control. European colonial masters knew this was going to happen.
Ironsi never goofed. His ideas were deliberately. Like any Nigerian leader, he wanted power at any cost. Each Region had a very high level of autonomy and was able to self govern. Ironsi ruined all that.
Wonderful work really ,am totally impressed your definitely on the right track enjoyed work , sharing it with friends and colleagues so the can enjoy this like I have
Righteousness exalts a nation; but sin a reproach to any people. Nigeria must be rebirthed on God's righteous requirements. We have suffered at the hands on the wickedness of men's hearts for far too long. Otito! Greedy, self-centered evil people must be a thing of the past. We need people filled with wisdom from God and walking in right with God to be both leaders and followers. God must be the center. That's the only acceptable way forward.
Bisi, this video and part 1, were well done. Thanks for doing this. You have educated me a great deal about our political history, in under 1 hr. Now I understand things clearly. The idealogies of our fathers and grand fathers especially the politicians and military, MUST NOT transcend to our generation. Gosh, they were toxic on ethnic lines.
This is really captivating. It will be nice to know your source if you wish to share as a lot of this stories have been watered down for some unknown reasons. It will be appreciated if you can also do a whole series talking about all the other coups too , great work.
I've loving the content, I am interesting in learning about the internal struggles of Africa to demystify the issues as a diaspora man who often only gets sanitised versions from the system based on their biased information and unfortunately sometimes biased information on the activism side also. It's good to just hear African history as it is, acknowledging all aspects internal and external for a deeper understanding of how we got here and what potentially where we could evolve. I'd like to learn about the conflicts some of these Ethnic groups had before colonisation, to see what Ethnic relationships were bad from before colonisation and only continued afterwards, what was created by colonisation or agitated by it, and if any ethnic groups merged or became closer during or after colonisation. Good work anyway Brother 😎
@@bisimedia Please guide me... I can't find the July rematch. Or hasn't been posted yet??? I'm downloading and saving all these videos because I hadn't been born then and the stories were never really told to me clearly. Now I know all that has transpired up to this point, the only missing link now is the coup that installed Gowon. Keep it up!!! Regards
As a matter of urgency, please drop a google drive link where we can download all your videos. I suspect the British government may want your videos and Chanel down soon. The information contained here and other videos are a huge concern to them.
The truth is, Nigeria needs something like this now. These politicians need to go. No more, we have suffered enough. The problem is even the military officers are no different
The first coup detat in Ghana was purely political ideology struggle between communism/socialism vs capitalism. Funded by the Cia. It seems Nigerians first was completely over corruption and tribalism. Am I having the wrong impression?
watching this again after watching the entire playlist before, It is not unusual to say that the events of the january coup definitely was the spark that caused the july coup, the coup plotters really messed up and unknowingly caused untold damage to the nation, it's really sad and tragic indeed
This was bad and many are paying for it today. Truly we need national reconciliation. I was almost in tears while seeing this. We need to forgive each other.
U see frm your inference, This is why the northern oligarchy won't use the Nigeria power to toy with the South esp the igbos , 'Always keep your thought secret" in this kinda scenerio ,may be that's wat he had in mind too ,may be.
@JJ You’re a very insincere person. How did you watch this entire video and deduce that Ironsi intended to handover power to the East?! How could a man who intended to handover to his brothers in the East surround himself with military officers from the north as his trusted security? Ironsi’s Unification decrees was an innocent attempt to unify and integrate the country after the bloody coup in January.
I love History a lot. I have read extensively about Nigeria's "unfortunate" History. I personally think that the British contributed to the problems facing Nigeria even up till now. They brought together the North and South for their own selfish interest without thinking about the indigenous people. The North and South are totally different in terms of ethnicity and religious beliefs.... this is the core problem with Nigeria in my opinion. The North never wanted to take to Western Education because they believed it had a "Christian undertone". This grossly contributed to underdevelopment in the Northern region. Standards in terms of personnel qualifications had to be reduced in order to accommodate more "unqualified Northerners". Lack of educational exposure and hatred for other religious beliefs brought tension and this showed before the January 1966 coupe especially during and after the 1965 Elections when Tarfawa Balewa Hausa Fulani led Government were in power. It's been a long time that the core northern Hausa Fulanis had been using various ways to dominate other ethnic groups and regions. It's unfortunate that the January 1966 coupe failed and so the core North saw it as an Igbo coupe even though a Yoruba Officer was among the coupe plotters. The effects of past events are still glaring up till today. The factors that led to the Nigerian Civil War are still very visible today or how can the core North explain the killing of Deborah Samuel that said the academic WhatsApp group is not meant for religious nonsense? She was accused of blasphemy against Prophet Muhammad even though she never mentioned Mohammed's name! The seeds of hatred has been sowed a long time ago. Thanks a lot for your very informative video. It's arguably one of the best I've seen in recent times. Kudos to you. Well-done.👍
Some reasons why the hausa’s saw it as an Igbo coup, is because prominent men from other regions were killed and miraculously, Nnamdi Azikiwe was spared owing to the fact that he was outside the country, Michael Opara the primier of the Eastern region was spared also, coincidentally Aguiyi Ironsi was also spared cos he was attending the Party of a top Military Officer who was later killed that night while Aguiyi left that party for another party, it doesn’t add up to spare the Igbo men who were supposed to be killed, well that aside, Ironsi’s failure to deal with the coup plotters made matters worse cos it summed up the speculation the Hausa’s had, I wouldn’t blame them anyways, if you must kill the top men, kill all and spare no one..
@@zuckyvin8706 because their quran tells them to be hostile towards us and hate us and see us as an open enemy. I have the quran verses. Can share it if yiu wish.
pls do go back and rewatch and amend your history thinking. Namdi zik was outside the country. It definitely wasnt planed that he should leave. Ironsi belonged to no party. He was a military man. Party is what he him self abolished, and wanted a unified government which the hausa saw as a treat to precent them from ruling. And then started killing igbos. And at that time they started killing Igbo soldiers in abekuta and ironsi was out of the country. Would you say that he was among the plan of killing his igbos soldiers?? Okay lets assume that he was involved in the plot of killing all hausa leaders. Why then did he employed lots of hausa soldiers in his rigme?? Why then did he imprisoned both igbos and hausa, yorubas of the tafawa rigme. Tafawa rigme was a corrupt one. And is not a news. The 5 main armies that carried out the coup also killed one or few igbos.
Lovely narration. Very detailed. It probably wasn't an Igbo coup after all. It was part of the plan to capture Inronsi, if that had happened, the coup would have been successful. Ifeajuna, also never intended to kill the prime minister but had to since the coup failed. Agunyi Ironsi didn't see the sinister rematch of July approaching.
They had the chance to eliminate Ironsi....but they didn't...what are you now talking about? This coup was highly sophisticated and well planned, there's no single detail that was missed, those that were not killed were never meant to be killed. I speak from the neutral point not belonging to any of the ethnicity involved, but truth must be said regardless.
It's wasn't an Igbo coup when all the plotters were Igbos except 1 Yoruba? It's wasn't an Igbo coup yet 21 people were killed, only one was Igbo, how? The coup was successful in SW, North but failed in the East, why? Aguiyi took over and refused to punish the coup plotters for 6 months, why? Because they're his Igbo brothers.
Yes this was what Former President Goodluck Jonathan had planned...A True Federalism Where each state takes charge(control) of their resources and remmit percentage to the FCT But we all know the set of people who don’t want that. So they can enrich themselves Looking back 10-15yrs ago Funny how it was only Goodluck time Nigeria at it best Government till date.
@@Nooroodin84 Not completely. It does have the federal and state aspects of governance. But it doesn’t have the US system of giving power to the states. Power would come from the states.
Bravo!!!.... this is really good work. Nice to know some history about my county Nigeria. The editing and sound was on point.. I look fwd to watching more videos from you.
@@hammedfemisuleiman2141we shouldn't have. The south would have a successful country while the north can wallow in ignorance until they accept proper education in larger numbers. The lack of development in the north is dragging all of Nigeria backwards
Ethnicity,tribalism and religious intolerance are the only things setting back Nigeria's progress. We need to accept unity(practically) or just move separate ways. Pretending there's unity when there's not ,isn't doing anyone any good

I love to learned, discover more about Nigeria and our continent at large
The truth is, Nigeria needs something like this now. These politicians need to go.
No more, we have suffered enough. The problem is even the military officers are no different
You just gained a subscriber..what a detailed story..
Such a detailed analysis. 👌
This was amazing!!!!!!!
The first coup detat in Ghana was purely political ideology struggle between communism/socialism vs capitalism. Funded by the Cia. It seems Nigerians first was completely over corruption and tribalism. Am I having the wrong impression?
Yes and this is such a shame
Nigerians need to do better
Excellent job chief. More power to you..
Thanks for this documentary... 💯
watching this again after watching the entire playlist before, It is not unusual to say that the events of the january coup definitely was the spark that caused the july coup, the coup plotters really messed up and unknowingly caused untold damage to the nation, it's really sad and tragic indeed
How do you have so much details. Never knew our past was this documented
And the clips too
This was bad and many are paying for it today. Truly we need national reconciliation. I was almost in tears while seeing this. We need to forgive each other.
So detailed a story.
So bloody a coup.
Lovely edit work. Great footage. Good background sound
Ironsi should have separated the East, west and North at this time.
100%
U see frm your inference,
This is why the northern oligarchy won't use the Nigeria power to toy with the South esp the igbos ,
'Always keep your thought secret" in this kinda scenerio ,may be that's wat he had in mind too ,may be.
Greed, he wanted all Nigeria to himself and the east
@@lamrechane2477 Really? Even with the intention to make a south westerner the president?
@JJ You’re a very insincere person. How did you watch this entire video and deduce that Ironsi intended to handover power to the East?! How could a man who intended to handover to his brothers in the East surround himself with military officers from the north as his trusted security?
Ironsi’s Unification decrees was an innocent attempt to unify and integrate the country after the bloody coup in January.
I love History a lot. I have read extensively about Nigeria's "unfortunate" History. I personally think that the British contributed to the problems facing Nigeria even up till now. They brought together the North and South for their own selfish interest without thinking about the indigenous people. The North and South are totally different in terms of ethnicity and religious beliefs.... this is the core problem with Nigeria in my opinion.
The North never wanted to take to Western Education because they believed it had a "Christian undertone". This grossly contributed to underdevelopment in the Northern region. Standards in terms of personnel qualifications had to be reduced in order to accommodate more "unqualified Northerners". Lack of educational exposure and hatred for other religious beliefs brought tension and this showed before the January 1966 coupe especially during and after the 1965 Elections when Tarfawa Balewa Hausa Fulani led Government were in power. It's been a long time that the core northern Hausa Fulanis had been using various ways to dominate other ethnic groups and regions. It's unfortunate that the January 1966 coupe failed and so the core North saw it as an Igbo coupe even though a Yoruba Officer was among the coupe plotters. The effects of past events are still glaring up till today. The factors that led to the Nigerian Civil War are still very visible today or how can the core North explain the killing of Deborah Samuel that said the academic WhatsApp group is not meant for religious nonsense? She was accused of blasphemy against Prophet Muhammad even though she never mentioned Mohammed's name! The seeds of hatred has been sowed a long time ago.
Thanks a lot for your very informative video. It's arguably one of the best I've seen in recent times. Kudos to you. Well-done.👍
Well articulated video so what happened since then are we still together ❤ 🤔 no!
Some reasons why the hausa’s saw it as an Igbo coup, is because prominent men from other regions were killed and miraculously, Nnamdi Azikiwe was spared owing to the fact that he was outside the country, Michael Opara the primier of the Eastern region was spared also, coincidentally Aguiyi Ironsi was also spared cos he was attending the Party of a top Military Officer who was later killed that night while Aguiyi left that party for another party, it doesn’t add up to spare the Igbo men who were supposed to be killed, well that aside, Ironsi’s failure to deal with the coup plotters made matters worse cos it summed up the speculation the Hausa’s had, I wouldn’t blame them anyways, if you must kill the top men, kill all and spare no one..
@@zuckyvin8706 we cant be. Untill the north stoo being Muslims or stop following Muslim doctrine.
@@zuckyvin8706 because their quran tells them to be hostile towards us and hate us and see us as an open enemy. I have the quran verses. Can share it if yiu wish.
pls do go back and rewatch and amend your history thinking.
Namdi zik was outside the country. It definitely wasnt planed that he should leave. Ironsi belonged to no party. He was a military man. Party is what he him self abolished, and wanted a unified government which the hausa saw as a treat to precent them from ruling. And then started killing igbos.
And at that time they started killing Igbo soldiers in abekuta and ironsi was out of the country. Would you say that he was among the plan of killing his igbos soldiers??
Okay lets assume that he was involved in the plot of killing all hausa leaders. Why then did he employed lots of hausa soldiers in his rigme??
Why then did he imprisoned both igbos and hausa, yorubas of the tafawa rigme. Tafawa rigme was a corrupt one. And is not a news.
The 5 main armies that carried out the coup also killed one or few igbos.
Wow.. u guys re veery good.Great Piece
Thank you very much. 🙂
This is so educative,I don't know why the Nigerian government decided to take off a true story of these cupes from the school teaching
Great piece of work 💯
Thank you very much
Please divide the country.
You hate each others but you still want to stay together.
Who is benefiting from this unity.
Western powers. See they created this country to benefit themselves
Thank you for the excellent job! When is part 4 going to be released ?
Thanks so much for this masterpiece ♥️❣️
I'm sharing this video..very understandable narrative.
Another igbo man narrative of the History!
What's the problem with his narration? And why don't YOU make a 30 min+ unbiased documentary on the first Nigerian military coup.
Lovely narration. Very detailed. It probably wasn't an Igbo coup after all. It was part of the plan to capture Inronsi, if that had happened, the coup would have been successful.
Ifeajuna, also never intended to kill the prime minister but had to since the coup failed.
Agunyi Ironsi didn't see the sinister rematch of July approaching.
They had the chance to eliminate Ironsi....but they didn't...what are you now talking about? This coup was highly sophisticated and well planned, there's no single detail that was missed, those that were not killed were never meant to be killed. I speak from the neutral point not belonging to any of the ethnicity involved, but truth must be said regardless.
But, what would have been the consequences if he had allowed the prime minister to live?
It's wasn't an Igbo coup when all the plotters were Igbos except 1 Yoruba? It's wasn't an Igbo coup yet 21 people were killed, only one was Igbo, how? The coup was successful in SW, North but failed in the East, why? Aguiyi took over and refused to punish the coup plotters for 6 months, why? Because they're his Igbo brothers.
I think the U.S system of government would be best for Nigeria. I love this documentary it's well explained
Yes this was what Former President Goodluck Jonathan had planned...A True Federalism
Where each state takes charge(control) of their resources and remmit percentage to the FCT
But we all know the set of people who don’t want that. So they can enrich themselves
Looking back 10-15yrs ago
Funny how it was only Goodluck time Nigeria at it best Government till date.
It's literally the same system of government. Federal system. Or there's something I'm missing
@@Nooroodin84 Not completely. It does have the federal and state aspects of governance. But it doesn’t have the US system of giving power to the states. Power would come from the states.
@@Username_647 you're right
@@Nooroodin84 it’s supposed to be a federal system of government, but it’s a de facto a unitary system. Power is centralized.
Despite the misconceptions you've cleared, many are still arguing the same things.
This was very well done 👏
Thank you for this history graphics
This is brilliant!
Bravo!!!.... this is really good work.
Nice to know some history about my county Nigeria.
The editing and sound was on point..
I look fwd to watching more videos from you.
Thank you very much.
I blame those who begged the Hausas to continue with this marriage 😭
It was the igbos who wanted the marriage because they thought they can rule Nigeria and dominate until the plan failed.
@@hammedfemisuleiman2141we shouldn't have. The south would have a successful country while the north can wallow in ignorance until they accept proper education in larger numbers. The lack of development in the north is dragging all of Nigeria backwards
Thanks for this
Wow ! Good content here for real !
This is what we called first to do no dey pain
You are good. I have know words to say.
Ethnicity,tribalism and religious intolerance are the only things setting back Nigeria's progress. We need to accept unity(practically) or just move separate ways. Pretending there's unity when there's not ,isn't doing anyone any good
nice work bravo
the only issue I have with these work it that the ads are too much please work on that on your next videos
Alright.
