Reno is trending because influencer, Reno Omokri implied that the 1966 coup led my Major Kaduna Chukwuma Nzeogwu was not a coup. But a deliberate gen/ocide by igbos against the Hausa’s and Yorubas. — This is false. Summarily; The 1966 coup was orchestrated by six young soldiers who were tired of the corruption in the government. And wanted a revolution. Which they believed that for the revolution to happen, some high ranking people had to die. Major Nzeogwu eventually led it only in the Northen Region. After a friend brought him into the team, as he was a Chief instructor at the Military training college. It made it easier for him to mobilize. The coup leaders had issues on deciding whom to kll and whom to spare. So, they decided that, they should go with the flow. Ahmadu Bello was killed by Nzeogwu and three other northern soldiers. However, several deaths were not planned. Interestingly, it was the foot soldiers that carried out most of the massacres. And these were northerners. Because, then, the high ranks were overwhelmed by southerners, because they were more educated than the Northerners. The coup held in the three regions. The Northern, The Eastern, The Western (Ibadan) and the FCT (Lagos). With the sole objective of releasing Obafemi Awolowo and making him the Prime Minister. Nnamdi Azikiwe the President then, was also on the execution list. Most importantly, the alleged Igbo coup was, indeed ochestrated by igbos. Executed by Igbos, Hausas and Yorubas, and ended by igbos, Major Aguiyi Ironsi in Lagos FCT, and Maj. Odumegwu Ojukwu in the East Albeit, Nzeogwu wasn’t Igbo. He was from Delta State. Isieke Umuekea Village in Ibusa Town of Oshimili North of Asaba-now in Delta State. Major Adewale Ademoyega who was among the plotters, in 1981 said; “There was no decision at our meeting to single out any ethnic group for elimination. Our intentions were honourable, our views were national and our goals were idealistic. Even those earmarked for arrest, four were northerners, two were Westerners and two were Easterners.” This is a brief summary of the event. We might do a full thread later. The aim and objective of the 1966 coup was to release Awolowo, and restore political sanity to the Western Corridor. Reno Omokri argues that, Ahmadu Bello was the target of the coup. Because he spoke against the number of igbos in the military. The trauma of the event being tagged an Igbo coup has continued to grow since 1966. The Civil War was but one sprout.

Here is the text of the broadcast taken from a tape of the speech by Major Chukuma Nzeogwu right after the Igbo coup on Lover Radio Kaduna on 15 January 1966, starting at about 12.30 P.M. Nzeogwu broadcast over Radio Kaduna just after noon on Saturday 15 January. He spoke in the name of the Supreme Council of the Revolution of the Nigerian Armed Forces to declare martial law over the Northern provinces of Nigeria. Nowhere did he mention "Chief Obafemi Awolowo." The Igbo officers assassinated the Northern leader "Hausa" and the Western leader "Yoruba," and after the coup, an Igbo officer was made the Head of State. He immediately cancelled the Regional Government at the time that limited the Igbos from going into other regions and doing whatever they wanted. After this, Igbos started taking over key roles in other regions, mocking the Northerners and claiming they would rule for 1000 years. The Northerners planned a counter coup to take over power from the Igbos. It worked, the Igbos felt powerless and quickly declared Biafra to try and subdue the minority and annex the oil in the Eastern region for themselves. But the Northerners were already angry for what the Igbos did. So they both declared war! The Northerners accepted that their counter coup was the "Northern Coup." The Igbos refused to take responsibility that the first coup was an "Igbo coup." Till today, Igbos don't take responsibility for their actions. They will gaslight and blame others just like in the 60s. They claim Kaduna Nzeogwu, the leader of the coup, is not an Igbo man, but the same Kaduna Nzeogwu fought alongside Ojukwu, his Igbo brothers in the Civil war. Still, they denied it. In fact, two of the leaders of the coup plotters fought alongside Ojukwu during the Biafra war. Igbos came up with propaganda that it was Awolowo, a Yoruba man, they planned the coup for to release him from prison and let him be the Head of State. Did the coup plotters release him? No. Did he become the Head of State after the coup? No. Who became the Head of State? An Igbo man, Ironsi. Did Ironsi jail the coup plotters? No. In fact, they were paid. Did Ironsi release Awolowo? No. Awolowo was released after the counter coup was carried out by the Northerners. When the Northerners realized how badly the Igbos had treated the Yorubas, they needed the alliance and support of the Yorubas, and they knew releasing Awolowo would be pleasing to the Yorubas. Igbos need to learn how to accept responsibility for their actions instead of childishly trying to blame or gaslight their way through. till today, Nigeria is still suffering from the actions of the Igbos in 1966. If you look at Nigeria today, who are still the people demarketing Nigeria, wishing Nigeria bad, hoping Nigeria gets invaded, calling Nigeria a zoo? invading other peoples region and disrespecting them? Wanting to become a political leader in your region but won't accept the same in their own region! Well, you have your answer!

I am glad BBC made this documentary titled “Surviving Biafra” on the Nigeria-Biafra Civil War. So, kudos to my brother, the award winning Nigerian filmmaker, Meji Alabi. It is difficult for me to watch as I see my people slaughtered like dogs simply for seeking freedom and the preservation of their lives. Pogrom was committed against my people following the unfortunate first military coup of January 15, 1966 that was termed an “Igbo coup” even when the authorities and anyone who cared for the truth and followed events in the country at the time knew it was not an Igbo coup. Our Igbo people and anyone who looked like them were hunted down, killed, beheaded, maimed, babies violently cut from their mother’s womb and killed across northern Nigeria for simply being Igbo. I look forward to more documentaries on this war imposed on my people because of the discovery of crude oil in the then Eastern region. While not a complete account of the war, and while I would have wanted to see more from the people who were slaughtered in the millions and subjected to genocide, yet it is worth watching by all who seeks truth and justice, to understand Nigeria then and now. I am gratified that perhaps the powers in London are beginning to realize that this injustice cannot go on and be hidden forever. The Biafrans were not defeated by the Nigerian Forces. Biafrans were defeated by the British government, the British Military and the Blockade orchestrated and imposed on the Biafran people by the government of General Yakubu Gowon. I have long urged Nigeria’s government to begin the process of healing the incalculable disaster perpetuated against the Igbos of Nigeria and other Easterners. Other Easterners suffered during the war as much as the Igbos because it was difficult to tell who was Igbo from the Efik or Ibibio for example. I urge everyone to watch this documentary.
