Those who dont know their history are bound to repeat it….
Gowon was twice accused of toppling two military regimes one of his principal, Major General Aguiyi Ironsi and his successor Murtala Mohammed
Gowon was not involved in any of the coups.

Dimka was not the aide de camp of Gowon@@Eman14128
How could the July coup of 1966 be said to be the bloodiest? How many and who are the people that died in it compared with the January coup? Which coup was bloodier than the one where the Prime minister (Balewa), 2 Premiers (Akintola and Bello), Finance minister (Okoti Eboh), 2 brigadiers (Ademulegun, Maimalari), including the pregnant wife of Ademulegun, Cols Pam, Largema, Kur, Sodeinde, were all killed?
I love ❤️ how unbiased u are in yr analysis . Am a 🇳🇬 Nigerian and I won't support anyone that partook in this madness they are all guilty . But we the Younger generation should not allow this kind of madness ever happen again. If we must divide ➗️ lts do it amicably. Let love ❤️ lead ✌️ ☮️ 🕊 peace
😂😂 that "Coup" wasnt really a coup in its traditional sense, rather a mutiny that produced a leader at the end. Gowon himself was placed at the Top to quell the Northerners and relax the Southern fears.
He would call it the "boys' coup" but it was indeed "Gowon Coup." He'd his colleague killed, following the example of Ghana.
You need to stress the disproportionate number of civilians who were killed by both military and civilian northerners. Nigerians don't know enough about the pogrom. It was horrific. The July 29 coup arguably had the largest number of cold-blooded murderers who simply vanished into the mists of history -- never to be known, named, or arrested. The blood of innocent people is extremely powerful...
If you leave in a glass house, please don't throw stones.
He supported the killing of Aguiyi Ironsi and took over
Wrong perception of history. What do you say today of Buhari and Tinubu governments? Ṣe be there are very nationalistic and patriotic?
