No Nigerian Leader, Past or Present divides opinion like the late General Murtala Mohammed. His 199 days rule as Nigeria's Supreme Commander was the most promising period in Nigeria's history after the war. His first action as head of state was to scrap the 1973 census, which was weighted in favor of the north, and to revert to the 1963 count for official purposes. He purged the Civil Service and began demobilization of Nigeria's overbloated Armed Forces. He initiated an expansion of the Private sector into areas dominated by Public Corporation. His rule was popular amongst the masses. The people had faith in his rule. Perhaps, his biggest contribution to Nigeria came in the area of Foreign Relations. He adopted the Nigeria first orientation. Nigeria became neutral rather than nonaligned in international politics. His "Africa has come of age" speech at the OAU was instrumental to the resolution of the conflict in Angola and became a model for Africa's self realization. He was assassinated on 13th February, 1976. www.nairaland.com/attachments/1747572_20140927092223_jpeg3555561e5199a8935805185c51753331 As a young Officer, His role in the Coups of the 1660's can never be overemphasized. He was the arrowhead in the coup that ousted Ironsi. As the GOC of the 2nd Division during the Civil War, Murtala Mohammed supervised the massacre of nearly all the male folks from the present day Asaba in cold blood. He's fondly remembered for his insistence on Amphibious crossing of the River Niger despite recommendations from Lagos that he should wait for the bridge which was being repaired at the time. He finally made the amphibious crossing on the 3rd attempt after failing twice. ************************ General Murtala Mohammed is my hero. Maybe if he was allowed to remain in office for a longer time, Nigeria would've been better for it. It could be that all he did was initial gra gra, but then we wouldn't know. He was a patriotic Nigeria and gave Nigeria his best. Both as a soldier and as her Head of State. General Murtala Ramat Muhammed 4 Likes |

tonychristopher: Are you implying that the assertions of your hero, Ojukwu are wrong? Yorubas catching up with Igbos in education? Guy, you well so? Abi hangover dey disturb you?  Prior to Baba Awo implementing the free education policy in 1954, the Yorubas had been the most educated and enlightened tribe in Nigeria with the best secondary schools, the Yaba Higher College and the University College, Ibadan. A lot of non-yorubas including citizens of other African countries trooped en masse to South west Nigeria to acquire qualitative education. Baba Awo only consolidated the Yoruba education-leadership status with the free education policy which benefitted Yorubas and a lot of Non-Yorubas including your Igbo Fathers and Mothers.
