It Was Not an Igbo Coup, They Meant Well, but ... - Alabi Isama on Nzeogwu and January 1966

In this segment, Brigadier-General Alabi Isama, author of The Tragedy of Victory: On-the-Spot Account of the Nigeria-Biafra War in the Atlantic Theatre, reflects on his personal encounters with Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu before the January 1966 coup. He paints a portrait of Nzeogwu not as a tribalist or conspirator in an “Igbo coup,” but as a soldier deeply committed to the ideals of military professionalism. According to Isama, Nzeogwu was a voracious reader, constantly engaged in discussions on tactics and military strategy, and eager to sharpen his mind with knowledge.
