God bless you 🙏 immensely

Exactly my point also, his must be returned into our academic curriculum, we need to know where we got it wrong so we can find solution.

@@judennaaemeka2902 If history is returned, it would only be useful if the curriculum is not designed by biased people, especially writers. And how much do humans learn from history? Would it be right to think that people like Putin did know about histories of Russia and that the knowledge caused him to start the mass murders in Ukraine? May God guide the human race from self destruction, especially with greedy inhuman politicians!

How can you say an end to reprisal attack when the other side cannot! All Hail Biafra. Tom Aguiyi is comforted with his compensation. Doesn’t know what’s been going on in Biafra Land since then. Never mind Tom!

goodafy you are right. We respect Adekunle Fajuyi forever.

No fajuyi was in fact a major target

@@walkyesdating6659 : many folks don't know that Fajuyi Adekunle was equally a target in that coup .Major Ademoyega in his book, why we struck, said Fajuyi was one of those that sympathised with the Jan '66 Coup plotters . Lt. Walbe and then Major Danjuma who arrested Fajuyi and Aguyi have confirmed in many recent interviews that Fajuyi was a major target of that coup

They used the story of trying to save his friend to justify his killing, but I can say that it is not true. They wanted to kill Fajuyi simple, but the northern boys told that story because they wanted to work with the west.

Ironsi and his brother destroyed the federalism system and gave everything to the Fulanis, now their own people are suffering the most from that stupid ideals

Typical African mindset😂

We're just taking our time but still is matter of time ....we want biafra

😂 I can understand your frustration.

You can see him jittering he’s holding a lot of secrets inside he might let the truth out before he joins his father (r.I.p)but u can tell the government are still taking good care of him

Well said my brother ig is always kissing ass of the north what a shame. Till today I had a boss from Abia he names his son Usman to please his northern friends. Chai sometimes I don't know why I am of the race. Is so painful

Your great wisdom of words will resonate for years as regards this shameful illicit son of Igbo. Look at him! The only good of him than his father is that he does not appear to be drunk like his father. When Ojukwu tried to warn Ironsi, he drunkenly continued to his path to his shameful death. The Ironsi's should hide in their covens and forever hold their drunken minds for they destroyed the generations of the IGBO race!!!!

You have just spoken my mind

And you dont think of how Balewa and sardauna fold their hands to be killed by the most evil tribe in Nigeria, even after Akintola informed them about the evil plan of igbo's, Your tribe has a history of one sided focus without looking at other side, that's what loomed you into trouble

@@atutultataatutul2026(igbo) most evil tribe in Nigeria? Which tribe are you from in Nigeria?

correct brother. let's not forget his unification decree was disastrous. he was even described as a party freak and a lover of wine. made so many mistakes is short time. after the coup by Kaduna how could you surround yourself with northerners even putting them in key positions just to satisfy them only to be killed by them.

@@atutultataatutul2026 propagandist.

He don chop money that`s why he can`t talk. You become a whisper when you chop money

Yeah I agree. Looks annoyingly weak for my liking

Exactly my brother. I lost interest even though he's doing what he's supposed to do. GOD will surely vindicate him the death of his father. His father was a very peaceful leader but he slaughtered in cold flooded mood. LFT. GENERAL T.Y DANJUMA will surely one day pay and he will loose all. An occasion will surely key in where he will pay for his evil device which he used on the first ARMY GENERAL OF NIGERIA AND OF COURSE the first MILITARY HEAD OF STATES.

Aunty Pam! I agree.

He was 13 years old

You see yourselves? The man repeatedly said he was 12 years old at the time, yet 2 of you are reporting here that he was 9 and 13 years respectively. Imagine if this interview had not been recorded, it will become a tug of war.

Mark213 Mark TY Danjuma betrayed and arrested Gen Ironsi but didn’t personally kill him as he wasn’t at Lalupon where Ironsi and Fajuyi were killed so he can’t mention his name. Hiwever he could have mentioned Walbe, Useni, Shelleng and the other murderers of his father and Fajuyi . Read Max Siollun’ s Oil Politics and Violence (full of eyewitness accounts) and other books about the period.

TY Danjuma is still a powerful force in Nigeria politics viz a viz wife Daisy still a senator even through his connections. Please Tom is wise to choose his words carefully.

TY Danjuma was responsible for Ironsi's and Fajuyi's deaths although he did not personally shoot them. He claimed that he "lost control" to subordinate soldiers after he [Danjuma] had arrested the duo as, according to him, "seniority does not apply" in coup situations. He pre-planned their arrests and murders and was amply rewarded down the line by the oligarchy with oil blocks that enabled him to become overnight dollar-denominated billionaire. He was once quoted as flipping an oil block [he "bought" for $500 million] for $1 billion [at 💯 percent profit] and "I did not know what to do with the money"! Blood money! 'nuff said.

Ogburie Fidelis But this is an IBO man speaking.

@Ayoola Ajakaiye you couldn't have said it better omoluabi. They see yorubas as saboteur. As for me, they are just bittered people. Since the inception of Nigeria, they've always join forces with the northerners while we play the opposition. The first recorded grand alliance btw the north and west was in 2015. The yoruba's are called derogatory names till date for this. How i wish they can have a referendum they've been clamouring for.

@@godswilllaks1530 igbo are the problem. igbos are the ones that caused southern cameroon to leave the eastern union and now there issue is with nigeria.

@Feyi Joseph Mhmmm.That dirty town .Thank God I live in the West. Get rid of your wrong assumptions omoluabi

Ironsi actually got an intelligence report on a plan to kill him from Ahmadu Bello's brother,but he took it with a pinch of salt. On the issue of Awolowo's release,you can look for Anthony Enahoro's(he was Awo's loyalist till his death)book where he made it clear that Ironsi should be given credit to Awolowo's release.

@@kingsleyoffor6752 But, Awolowo was not released during the regime of Ironsi. He was released by Gowon. Gowon made an official speech at the release, and it is in the achive, so the release was not done in secret. Years after, Gowon still visited the family of Awolowo and made another public statement which newspaper carried. Till date, no public statement from enahoro to denounce that. If you want public reference, i can link you up to that right here for anybody to read

@ayenia2736 It seems from all information and even from the little things this Tom is saying, you can't still figure out who plotted January coup and why North has to revenge? If you still in doubt then check the actions of Ironsi from the night of the coup and also find out why the northern boys insisted on killing Fajuyi. And consider finding out why Ironsi made Ojukwu and Fajuyi governors and why all the coup plotters that did the January killings fought for Ojukwu in civil war. The answer you are looking for is near you if you look a little more. Ironsi's son understood because they must have briefed him with evidence and decided not to talk about things with normal citizens.

@@kingsleyoffor6752 Ironsi had no plans to release Awolowo. Ofcourse he can't do that unless the entire coup and overthrown the government was in vain. As his son told you here, Ironsi never did that. If Ironsi could prevent given Balewa a decent biurial and even refused meeting with the emirs after executing their Saduana, all top military officers and their prime minister, then who is Awolowo that was not evem in government? It seems you don't understand the arrogance of that January coup. Maybe you should count the number of decrees Ironsi ditched out in the 6 months following his overthrew of the government.

@@ck-sl3kt i am from ekiti state, where Fajuyi was born. Till date, we have an accurate record of the events because our son was a victim defending Aguiyi Ironsi. This son of Ironsi was a very young boy at that time. His account can never be compared to that of the real actors of the time. The best sieve is a comparative analysis of the different authentic sources of those days with relics left behind, not just what the son of Ironsi says in this era. Each individual could be sentimental in the account. For example, the daughter of Ademulegun( the man fighting for biafra, but was assasinated by ojukwu to the delight of igbos during the civil war) made several videos and read the personal letters of his father and documentaries of event also. So, no single individual has the ultra details, we only have to listen to all and compare, not just making an actor a library of the events

You lie, this is so wrong, I don’t know how you came up with this perspective? How did Igbos imprison Awolowo? Was it not a northern prime minister that did that? The first coup, yes, was dominated by well educated Igbo men but other tribes were included, so does that justify the bloody rematch by the Danjumas and other Hausa military men that killed Ironsi and others ? No. Check history before you continue your gate against the igbos and push this crazy tribalist Evil ideas

If you don't know what to say keep quiet, every body, Yorubas, Hausa/Fulani and Igbos is responsible for what the country is passing through, Gowon had the chance to revert the unification decree of the late Ironsi which he consolidated and Nigeria has never known peace till then.

Re examine your head, it's empty

He is not a 12 year old now. He has been part of the government and a diplomat for a long time. He is in a position to know a lot which I'm sure he does. At 62 if you are still scared about telling the truth then you are either a collaborator or a coward

But he can speak of his father plus he's no longer 12

So what are you then?

Yen Yen Yen. You are just a cry baby

Who know u sef? A social Media noise maker & nothing more .

@chinnyamuche5354 Army has command structure. In army, it is oga that give command and boys must obey. Coup was plotted by only one man! He used his boys to execute. His boys were majority Igbos. In the counter coup, the northerners tried to execute oga and all his boys, but the few that he his in prison in south east survived and those ones join Ojukwu who was the most senior surviving of oga boys, for the war.

Some of the people involved in the coup are still alive today and still have influence among the military so it is alright for him calculated and cagey in comments

My dear, please don't join the chorus of many NAIVE people in that their NONSENSE "HAUSA/FULANI" PHRASE . IT DOESN'T EXIST AT ALL. IT'S FULANI ON THEIR OWN. HAUSA PEOPLE ARE NO MORE IN NIGERIA.

Thomas Aguiyi was an idiot and a weak man, infact most igbos in top military position and politicians from 1950 till date are useless and full of betrayals.they like listening to outsiders than there people's, JS Taka heard the rumors that their is a plan to assassinate him and gave the hint to Chukwuemaka Odumegu which Ojukwu passed to Thomas, now, what stops him from rearranging his security detail? Instead he prefers to call his enemies in the north in other to know if it is actually truth and obviously what do u expect them to tell him, of course no. Thomas Aguiyi was not supposed to be a general but an alter boy serving mas in a Catholic church.my igbo brothers stupidity does not start today where they always loved to pleased the north in detriment of their people. Who do you tell this that your brother called to informed you about what is about to unfold, even if it right on wron on that security information, the first thing expected of him was to beef up security around himself and suspend the tour until tensions doused down but his stupidity never allowed him think properly, it was stupidity of Thomas Aguiyi that put our parents, our brothers, sister's and grandparents to early grave because of that his singular mistake caused the civil war, Gowon and Ojukwu was never going to have friction if the idiot general called Thomas had worked with information given to him by the Ojukwu concerning the coup by changing his security detail with the ones that will be more loyal to him but he chose to moved around with TY Danjuma who handed him over to his northern brother without any resistance from any angle.

Nope I don't believe that bro, the man never messed up at all, their are enemies within and their is nothing the man could do when the North plan the coup all bcos the northern leaders we're killed which brought Agu Ironsi to power. So their is nothing he can do when the man was drag on the floor in the bush in Ibadan

@@thugrighteous8755, He messed up big time ok. As a soldier he suppose to know that the North will definitely strike ok. So he suppose to put his house and his government in other. For example, since after the civil war the Hausas took over the power and never allowed the igbos to come up on top ok. Because they knew that if they give them that chance, definitely they will strike, and avenge.

@ike8947 If he answered the questions honestly, Igbos would hate him. Have you thought of what happens when you suddenly realized you had been told a lie all your life? Tom does not want to ruin your memory of his dad.

Ironsi, the worst ever to lead this country. Period!

How old was Mazi Nnamdi Kanu... because he seems to know more about the war than ever1🤔

True talk my brother. Foolish thinking of the igbos even till today

Well you know nothing, a 12yr old knows a little, and he has come to express himself well in his own capacity,and you are there saying he is not brave as his father, my question is this, how bold do you think Gen Agu ironsi was then? Bcos I believe that even you we're not born in then......I don't know why you people will just come in a platform and talk shit.......what experience do you have in this issue, you are not part of them that was killed back then,you are alive talking shit..

The events that played during and after it suggests that. So do not blame him for saying such..

Now that northerners are dominating Nigeria, what do you have to say?

Emmy Global My brother that's not domination. It's called self preservation. My people first. Hausa First. Don't forget that OBJ was there for 8 years GEJ was there for 6 years so why the complained? Point finger to what this idiots did when they were in office? 1999 constitution gave president powers to create more state, restructure the country, declared state of emergency but OBJ and GEJ were busy eating and party like fools The question you will ask yourself is that, what are the impacts of OBJ government to Nigeria or Yorubas? The lgbos control the National Assembly during GEJ in office, did any lgbo talk about Biafra 🤣 No one sir. That's why we called it Biafraud Somebody like Tinubu is a Yoruba conservative leader who think Yoruba first! If your leaders are selfish you will suffer just like what is happening in lgboland Your governors don't care about lgboland development and lgbo people like investing in other man land. One day they we ask you to leave either by easy way or force as the Kano did in North

Korede Akingbemi please get your facts right before any comment...it’s out there in the public domain so make your own research on what transpired the whole period that led to the coup as well as the number of military officers involved including their agenda if succeeded.
