The man I admired though out this is Left tennant colonel Fajuyi. The man could have abandoned Ironsi, but he remained loyal to the point of his death. Not many people would do that for a "guest". This is an excellent account, thank you.

In my country Liberia this scenario happened in the 80's and the military Head of state Samuel Doe removed Gen.Quiwonkpa as head of the army after suspecting him of being opposed to his leadership. Gen.Quiwonkpah was from Nimba and the president was from Grand Gedeh, they were best of friends though and joined the army at the same time. The lesson learned is that don't put your best friend in key military position.

[@racassiusmatohson5244]

Ironsi supposed to have called his loyal forces to come to his rescue by attacking the mutiny solders. This shit couldn't have happened if he had his thoughts together. In my country Liberia leaders always have their tribal army to protect them. Why Gen Ironsi did not so the same?

Gen.Ironsi blundered to have a northerner as Chief of Army Staff Gen.Gowon who betrayed him and acted as if he was unaware of the counter-coup. Gen was told that there was a coup and he did not take it serious but was trying to reunify the country by appointing all tribes in the government as regional commanders even thoes opposed to him. Danjuma as a low ranking officer never acted alone. The lesson learned is that as an African president, always use your kinsmen as your personal security. Your own flesh and blood.

It appears that Danjuma was rewarded with Oil Blocks for assassinating General Ironsi and Colonel Fajuyi. All masterminded by ambitious and Power hungry General Yakubu Gowon.

[@adekeyeadeyemi5702]

Fajuyi died for his guest bcos he doesn't want to be called a betrayal by Ironsi's people but today they call Yorubas betrayals and all sort of names despite all we did for them....

[@ezehvictor2058]

Because yorubas of today are different, they didn't follow the foot step of Fajuyi. However, Fajuyi should be greatly immortalized for love and hospitality by FG.

[@adekeyeadeyemi5702]

Yorubas are not different in anyway from the past, we are the most hospitable as far as Nigeria is concerned. Check the inflow of your people (Igbos) to Yoruba land compared to our people to your land. After Civil war, Yorubas kept and returned all your properties back to you despite all the betrayals that your people did to us.... I pray the ongoing court case as to your referendum be granted, so you can have your own Country/Republic in peace and allow us to have peace.

[@chineduemmanuel5371]

Yes, Fajuyi still an unsung hero but your question was answered by chain of events that followed. Col. Ojukwu ensured Obafemi Awolowo his friend was transferred to Calabar prison and subsequently released with expectation to speak against mass killing of Igbos. He rather accepted to serve as finance minister for Gowon. Same Awolowo advised Gowon to block food access to Biafrans and caused deaths in hundreds of thousands. "All is fair in war. You cant feed ur enemies fat and still expect to win".... they had to give away oil rich Bakassi peninsula to achieve this. After the war, same Ojukwu friend made sure every Igbo man got only 25pounds to restart life regardless of their status before. Indigenisation policy nko. Now you see.....

[@adeyemikehinde7625]

They are bad historians saying Yorubas betrayed them.

God in His magnanimity still preserved the lives as the most wicked men and deceitful soldiers Nigeria ever had then that failed to tell the truth. Gowon and his men did not preserve Nigeria but destroyed it because of their inordinate ambition revenge action to rule. Some of the men that caused Nigeria's present problems are dead but there will be no peace until the spirit of all who died during the wars/coupes have finished chasing those that are still alive today, including Yakubu Gowon, Yakubu Danjuma, Jeremiah Oseni until they confess. Yakubu Gowon, Yakubu Danjuma, Jeremiah Oseni, etc.; should bury their heads in shame.

The British structured Nigeria to make sure that power had to be dominated by the people they could still manipulate so that they could still indirectly keep looting Nigeria.

I continue to respect Danjuma he is my hero

[@HispleMedia]

He did very well. His intention though was not to kill the head of state but the Young officers were negatively enthusiastic. Thanks for your feedback ❤️.

[@donzibee6709]

Me too. He was the Key to the success of the counter coup. And he was ready to die trying.

[@ejioguozioma7735]

Tha same danjuma asking Nigerians to arm themselves against the marauding killer herdsmen and northern sponsored boko haram. Danjuma can not even protect his present day Jukun tribesmen and women

He is indeed our hero,

The chivalry of Adekunle Fajuyi, sorry, is a wild figment of the imagination of western region's unprofessional journalistic culture which has an almost uncontrollable proclivity to wont to attribute all manner of 😮unearned gallantry and feats to their tribal scions. Danjuma, Gowon and Obasanjo, for instance, are still very much alive. They'll put paid to this mischievous propaganda about this spurious gallantry by FAF.

Nigeria need to move forward... Thank you for watching

[@olurominiyiibitayo5473]

It wasn't a Northern counter coup. How about the coup which removed Murtala Muhammed?

[@HispleMedia]

Why do you say so? I would like to know a little more about it from your own perspective. I'm researching about the Murtala Muhammed coup and assasination as well. Thanks for watching ❤️

[@olurominiyiibitayo5473]

@@HispleMedia why is it a Northern counter coup? The statement smirks of an anti- Ibo or pro- Northerners bias. This is absolutely untrue. This is why I asked about the coup against Muritala. The intent of the bias is to spread and/justify discord in Nigeria more than 55 years later. Coups occurred in Nigeria irrespective of the region where the President or the military head of state came from. For the factors which may have led to the coup, read my earlier comment.

[@joechucks1555]

@@olurominiyiibitayo5473 my friend it was a northern coupe unless you just want to be blind and ignorant. Why where only igbo officers killed to the point that the northern soldiers started killing innocent civilians?

[@discoveries9482]

Our problem didn't start today with this northerner's....

[@andrewchukwudi4322]

You Igbo shot the northerners first in the leg,now they came to take your heads,Igbos should learn not to rush things in life

[@gbadebofestus2612]

It was an iron n blood political game between lronsi n d North. But lronsi was too lethargic to anticipate d capacity revenge from d North for 6 whole months. N Fajuyi died for Ironsi n his race knowing that d future will respect him n his race. But today an average SE person calls out d Fajuyis race on any provocation n insults them making Fajuyi looked like a fool for dying for an igbo man, his guest.

[@HispleMedia]

Thanks for your feedback... We are currently working on Ironsi and the Decree 34 that caused all the crisis that followed. Fajuyi is a hero. The issues of mistrust btw Igbos and Yorubas today are purely the handiwork of wicked politicians who are using the division to perpetuate themselves in power. The earlier Nigerians realize this, the better for all of us and the country at large. Thank you so much for watching... 💗💗

[@Jarumi-sg9il]

Very fictitious and no doubt some details were are the narrator's imagination.

[@HispleMedia]

Like which of the details!? There are so many speculations concerning Nigeria's history.

[@Jarumi-sg9il]

@@HispleMedia Do you read The Hurricane? Gen. Murtala Ramat's Biography. Its theatrical and very fictitious that worth converting to a film. In your video you only did what professional world renown historians do. Which is using fiction to connect history known facts.

[@HispleMedia]

@@Jarumi-sg9il interestingly I have not read it fully... I will get to check it out as time progresses. I appreciate your feedback ❤️. Much of what we know as history is either people's opinion or record of events in the past.

That is Danjuma's altercation with Ironsi, the voice is altered to give it kind of difference. Thank you for watching up to that point. I appreciate your support.

[@discoveries9482]

Where is the Sergeant that killed ironsi?

[@HispleMedia]

History says Sergeant Tijani... He probably was a trigger happy young non commissioned officer or recruite. I couldn't find a verifiable picture of him. Thank you for watching.

You are cræzy for calling it an Igbo coup, false information peddlers

[@HispleMedia]

I'm not sure I called it an Igbo... Even if I did, that is the popular consensus. Thank you for watching 😍

[@princedavidadejinle3016]

This is a childish attempt to paint the IBOs good.The cowardly IBO officer with Ironsi ran away and abandoned his principal.Also why will Fajuyi be a target when both the northern and western officers and politicians were murdered in cold blood in the IBO coup of 1966.Fajuyi was very stupid not to have switched sides and he paid dearly for it.

[@HispleMedia]

In general, how many Yorubas were involved in the coup or do you think only fajuyi would have switched sides and that is all? Well, from several sources including Danjuma himself, the young officers were officers were tasty for blood. Danjuma claimed that after arresting Ironsi, he lost control of the situation. So at the end of the day the boys did what pleases them. No one is painting any side good or bad. We are only telling the history from sources available to us. You and I were not there. Thank you very much for watching.

[@abdullahiibrahimalhassan4460]

These soldiers were so brave as young as they were. How brave of Ɗanjuma as just a major oo
