babyosisi: [size=18pt]An interview by the late Chief Enahoro in 1998 as he addressed a group of Igbos who questioned him on the war[/size]



One of the most contradictory facts to demonstrate the inaccuracy of Gowon’s assertion comes from Gowon’s own wartime Federal Information Commissioner and foremost Nigerian war propagandist during the civil war, Chief Anthony Enahoro. In the first few months of 1998, one Jumoke Ogunkeyede, head of the "United Committee to Save Nigeria" organized a kind of reconciliation meeting between Chief Anthony Enahoro and some Igbos in New Jersey, USA. In that meeting, and in answer to one of the questions posed to Chief Enahoro about his anti-Biafran role during the civil war, Chief Enahoro, who thankfully, is alive and well today, said in part:
[b]
"Do you really know anything about what happened during that war? I was the one that stopped late Gen. Murtala Mohammed from further massacre of innocent children and mothers. At a point when Britain refused to sell further arms to Nigeria because they had ample evidence from the Red Cross of the federal forces killing innocent civilians, I confronted Gowon with the fact and that the only way I can get Britain through my contact with their High Commissioner to resume a supply of weapon to Nigeria was that Murtala had to leave that war sector. Either Murtala leaves or I will have to leave his cabinet. Gowon told me that he is willing to call a meeting and on the condition I will be the one to confront Murtala. If there was anybody that Gowon feared so much it was Murtala Mohammed. At the meeting of the Federal Executive Council, I confronted Mohammed with elaborate evidence complete with photographs. He was livid. He could not refute them so he resorted to calling me all sorts of names prompting me to observe before the council that if he was a fine officer as he claims to be, he should not be acting the way he was acting. Needless to say that I was instrumental to his withdrawal from that sector and subsequent appointment as a minister". (See "The Nigerian and Africa" magazine, March 1998, page 10)
[/b]
From this uncoerced and uninduced testimony of Chief Enahoro, who incidentally is still alive today, one can make the following observations:

That Murtala’s genocidal campaign against the Midwestern Igbos was well known and documented by the Red Cross
That the genocide imperiled Nigerian’s ability to secure arms supply from Britain.
That in attempt to maintain British arms supply to Nigeria, Chief Enahoro confronted Gowon with this reality widely documented by the Red Cross.
That Gowon was reluctant to confront Murtala with the allegation and indeed would not confront Murtala with it unless Enahoro would do it by himself, which he did, and
That it took a threat from Enahoro to Gowon "to leave his cabinet", for Gowon to eventually address the issue and remove Murtala and commander of the 2nd infantry Division.
I must say that Enahoro’s sincerity in his testimony is commendable. Enahoro admitted that his quest to stop Murtala’s murderous campaign among the Midwestern Igbos was to save the British arms supply to Nigeria and not out of sympathy or concern for the lives of those Igbos for whatever they were worth (at least not on the record). I think that Gowon should emulate this Enahoro’s sincerity and not come 34 years later to claim that he didn’t know something he abundantly knew.

God bless you. When they speak ill of gentler soul like Prof. Achebe, i wished they had a bout with this devil of a man.

Ahasco:

He was a tribalist I don't haye him though but I hate wat he did

Haba did u Ve to quote the whole article to comment? Na wa for u

frodobee: God bless you. When they speak ill of gentler soul like Prof. Achebe, i wished they had a bout with this devil of a man.

I debated furiously on another handle for Achebe when my "people" were opening their mouths and typing rubbish here and on the streets. I could not understand how one man's memoir (and a very respected man for that matter) will generate so much backlash. It was as if they never wanted to hear another story contrary to the lies they were fed.
And then there is the latest anger towards SS and SE unity were they will label the SE is land grabbers and oil theives where we know now who has benefited most from this corrupt confab.

The SW has chosen their alliance and there is no room for future betrayals as in the past for the yet but soon to come new Nigerian power house or for the best new Nation.

You can all thank Tinibu for fueling SW xenophobia and anti-Igbo sentiments for their own downfall.

Policewoman: THE BUTCHER OF ASABA. PITY THAT THE SAME PEOPLE HE LED TO MASSACRE INNOCENT EASTERNERS TURNED BACK TO KILL HIM IN A BOTCHED COUP ATTEMPT.

wen makin reference to past massacre,its always in d east nd south south,is dat place rily of stuborn kids?

Intrepid!:
It is only in Nigeria that a certified war criminal is revered. Utter rubbish!

The most celebrated leaders in history were all guilty of genocide in one form or the other; Sun Tzu, Alex the great, Genghis Khan, George Bush, Shaka Zulu, Ojukwu, Lord Krish, Awolowo, Julius Caesar, Hanibal etc. Apart from the igbos, I have never heard any other group speak ill of this man.

Willzkid: [size=8pt][size=8pt],write an article like this on lawrence anini[/size][/size]

Murtala Muhammad was killed by the West majorly for his position in the liberation movements and wars fought in Angola. While the West supported the capitalist liberation movements of UNITA and FNLA, Muhammad supported the communist MPLA. During this period, which was also the Cold War era, Nigeria was heading communist. This angered the West who had already overthrew and imprisoned Patrice Lumumbar of Zaire and imposed Mobutu Sese Seko. The last of the African leaders that supported the MPLA in Angola and the SWAPO in South West Africa (now Namibia) to be killed was my own man, Muammar Gaddafi.
