The senseless killings of that January 15 1966 is what has led us to where we are today , it generate a series of events that remain irreversible The bunch of power hungry, impatient , immature solidifies , some of whom are still alive today are the bane of our country What a shame History should not be kind to Nzeogwu, Ifeajuma , Ademoyega and the like Same goes for the planners of the counter coup, another senseless event some 6 months later , which involve the likes of Danjuma et al
I would have agreed with you but counter coup was necessary, how do you expect the Northern soldiers to sit and watch while the perpetrators of coup were not held accountable. That's not to much to ask for.
@@mommyayyadkitchen6513 that countee coup was senseless. Period. They had no good reason apart from carrying out massacres that Ahmadu bello had already started years earlier.
A great man and an efficient leader of his people. His efforts were focused on northern Nigeria, this should have changed to a nationalistic approach after Nigeria became an independent country, but he remained a northern Nigeria visionary. The regional posture of our early leaders like sir Ahmadu Bello gave birth to the ethnic and religious demons that are eating us up as a country today. May his soul continue to rest in peace and may Jannat ul Firdaus be his final abode.
@@Chuby_ubesie : The Igbos discriminated against their minority in the Eastern Region. He was the Premier of the North not Premier of Nigeria. His duty was to protect the interests of Northerners. The Igbos have their regions . The first Republic was mainly a tribal republic . The North is the only region that was very unified and had a common identity. This was due to to the brilliance of this man called Ahmadu Bello. When I hear the Igbos vilify this man who transformed his people and his region I always shake my head in askance. Are the Igbos so dense ? Ahmadu Bello strategy was so far ahead of his time . He unified the North with the Hausa language. If he was not murdered by the Igbos this man would have unified Nigeria. Do you know that a child who went school in any part of the North in the 60s could speak , Hausa Igbo and Yoruba? This was Ahmadu Bello’s policy to make Nigerians able to communicate with each other . When I went to school in the North I saw how easy my class mates were switching these languages in communication. Awo said on several occasions that he admires the Sardauna because you always know where he stood . There was no ambiguity. When Zik told Ahmadu Bello to forget their differences, Ahmadu Bello retorted that they should remember their differences because it is based on this that they can form a meaningful relationship. What a great man !! There was no reason to kill any person for political differences. It would be easy to ease the pains if the Igbos who killed this man can show some measure of remorse. But is not in their nature to sublimate their ego . This is the reason why Nigeria is in a perpetual war.
@@tolulopeoluwole9485 foolishness to the highest degree. The coup by Nzeogwu was not an Igbo coup and Nzeogwu himself was only Igbo in Name, a man born and raised in the North and spoke Hausa fluently. And even if it was na "Igbo" coup by some Igbos in the military, it doesn't justify the killing of Igbo citizens in the North and the West. Unfortunately, that bigotry and Igbophobia still exists till today through little minded people like you.
Stop calling Amadu Bello, Azikiwe, Awolowo Nationalists. Saying that is nothing but a fraud. All our founding fathers were all regional lords who had their conflicting regional interests. They all failed to transform from regional to national leaders. This is the root cause of Nigeria's socio-political problems up till today. Nigeria never has a national interest. It has been who controls what and who dominate who. Even the 1998 constitution is Pro - Northern interest and only benefitting the North. The call for unity is not achievable because it is a joke and not sincere. Nigeria will achieve unity if they mean it and sincere about it by sincerely dialoging and negotiating the interests of all the federating units and respecting and transforming those interests into a constitution that will be respected by everyone including the armed forces. THIS ISHE ROAD MAP FOR ACHIEVING UNITY.
Well, they were the ones that led the agitation for Nigeria's independence. They were also the first leaders of Nigeria. I agree that under their watch, Nigeria was soaked in political crisis.

Nice Documentary. Keep up the good historical documentaries.

What a shame
History should not be kind to Nzeogwu, Ifeajuma , Ademoyega and the like
Same goes for the planners of the counter coup, another senseless event some 6 months later , which involve the likes of Danjuma et al

Ahmadu bello and Akintola were the reason for that coup. Everything is this man's fault. Everything.

May his soul rest in peace
May Allah forgive Ahmadu Bello
Keep the good work going brother
Nice one brother

His open discrimination of Igbos was despicable and vile. Nobody should respect such kind of a person.

I’d say Ahmadu BELLO is the father of tribalism in Nigeria….
I’d agree with you
That's why you people killed him

how? By putting the interest of his people first in the affairs of his region before that of outsiders?
Who is more tribalistic in Nigeria than his murderers?
