Chris unegbe is an igbo man killed in the first coup.. Adewale Ademoyega one of the first coup plotters from youruba said in his book "why we struck chapter 3 page 35 eish".. The main objective of the coup was to release awolowo and make him the President .. So don't blame igbos people for the first coup , they did what a patriotic Nigerian would have done .. Since people called for a revolution to end corruption akintola and Co imposed on Nigeria ..
You are stupid! So you think truncating a democratically elected parliamentary government with a military junta is the solution? 5 years after independence for that matter!
lol Making Awolowo the provisional president was a decoy and big lie That was the lie told to Ademoyega so has to get him involved Fact check me ,in the process of the coup Was there any move to free awolowo ?No One of the masterminder of the coup the person of Emmanuel Efeajuna was a friend to Azikwe son Don’t change the narrative of the coup in January 1966 Don’t water down the betrayal of the Igbo people The more you water it down the more people finds out treacherous the ibo people are
@@Futbalpanorama were you there?, they investigated them saparatly and they said same thing.. Even decades later Ademoyega still stood on his account. You just saying its fake because it doesn't suit your narrative.. Just because you choose not to believe doesn't make it a lie.. Its history, written in blood, the aim of the coup was to stop corruption and release awolowo from jail.. Am sure you know nothing about operation wetie and akintola vs awolowo saga. I think you should read the book " why we struck " read it first. By the way adewale the author and an active coup plotter was a yoruba man.. So!?!!📢
Point of correction. murtala Mohammed and Shehu Yaradua were not of fulani extraction. late President Murtala Mohammed was of Edo extraction. While Shehu Yardua was of Hausa extraction.

No Igbo man was killed in that first coup and that is the problem of Nigeria till date. Leaving the politicians then, Nigeria would have been great now
You are very wrong. The whole corruption in Nigeria then was by Akintola, Okotiebo, and Saduana. The crisis was in the West, and the Balewa government sanctioned the killing of the TIV indigenous population.
@@charlesacha7783 the corruption was only concentrated in the west akintola, Niger delta okotie ebo and the north sardauna just as the east is not corrupt today. Dey mumu yourself? Azikiwe the president was corrupt free, they have to give him first hand information to travel out when they want to stage the coup. There is corruption that time but it was minimal, we would have learnt and improve on democracy by then and develop our regions by now.

@@SHWwolf This continual attempt at downplaying the partisan side to the first coup is a major reason Nigeria is still where it is today. Your point on Chris Unegbe getting killed as well is a weak attempt at diversion. That officers from a particular part of the country who were key players in the corrupt system miraculously escaped execution is a fact. That the key leaders of the coup were from the same region of the country is a fact. That the coup resulted in the enthronement of someone from the same region of the country is a fact. That the one enthroned insensitively pardoned treason and treachery committed by people from this (and his) part of the country is also a fact. Northerners (mostly) and South Westerners are yet to recover from the 'betrayal' of the first coup. South Easterners are yet to recover from the loss that followed the war. Nigeria as a whole still bears the scars. Bitterness run deep in different quarters. All of these are facts that must be acknowledged simultaneously, downplaying none. This is the only way to move forward as a people, not by trying to justify the unjustifiable, insulting the sensibilities of Nigerians including yours.
Looking at what we are seeing in Nigeria now, it would have been better for the ibo officers to leave Yoruba officers to do the job of restoring Awolowo. I blame them for being over patriotic. The slaughter of ibos in the north that led to the civil war wouldn't have happened. Is a lesson for everyone.

That January 15, 1966 coup began the political destruction of Nigeria. If Acting President Nwafor Orizu had called Dipcharima (the deputy leader of the NPC-led federal government) to form a new government, Nigeria would be in a much better political situation today. It would have even discouraged future coup plotters.
Why expose your ignorance. Is Col Chris Unegbe who was killed in that coup from heaven? Was he not an Igbo man? The fact is that the mutiny of July 1966 was uncalled for.
Yep! Superpower where 220 million people struggle with less than 4,000 megawatts of electricity. Superpower that cannot provide one drop of clean drinking water for a single person. Superpower where the leaders sooner flee from the country at the slightest sign of ill health only to come back in caskets. Must I go on here?
For comparison South Africa has less population than Nigeria but generates far more electricity than Nigeria:As of January 2024, South Africa's electricity generation capacity was approximately 42,000 megawatts (MW), with about 85% of that coming from coal-fired power stations. However, the country's draft Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) 2023 outlines plans to increase the share of renewable energy in the country's power generation. The plan includes the following targets for 2030: 29.3 GW of new generation capacity, 4.5 GW of wind, 3.6 GW of solar PV, and 6.3 GW of distributed generation.

No. That was not Nzeogwu. That was Aguiyi-Ironsi's Aide-de-Camp.

The military was brutal.
A lot of horrible things have happened in Nigeria especially during the military

The slaughter of ibos in the north that led to the civil war wouldn't have happened. Is a lesson for everyone.
The coup should have never happened in the first place.
But there were practically no Yoruba officers to do the job. The Yorubas were the greatest beneficiaries of that coup in the first place.
Soldiers got power out of greed. To amass wealth that's all.Should have left the civilian government in 1966.
I read that one Col Arthur Unegbe an ibo man was killed in Lagos. Who is saying that no ibo man was killed
Col unegbe is a nobody, he wasn’t a major stakeholder so strike that out
A colonel in the Nigeria Army as of then, you're referring to as nobody, you must be out of your senses@@soccerbants4876

He was from the then midwestern state carved from old western region. Also, Col. Faguyi was killed in 1966.
