nwabobo: Rubbish! Which groundnut money? What was money from palm oil and coal from the East, Cocoa from the West and Rubber from the Mid-west used for?

Yes, you produce agricultural produce but we pay for it with our hard earned money. Money from your farm produce is not shared to our states in form of allocation.

Apart from the fact that money from our oil is given o you free, you still get to buy fuel at the same price with us the owners while a mudu of beans in my village costs 3 times what it costs in Yobe.

You have solid minerals which your people mine without making any contribution to the National treasury.

Who is fooling who?

aurenflani: Keep quiet. When u ppl murdered hausas in ur swine infected domains it is not news. Who is fooling who devil.

thirty: This write is base on your opinion and your opion is subjective.

Eko Atlantic: so many illegal immigrants. Lagos passport should be considered.
Must everybody live in Lagos?!

Ngwakwe: Hausa and most northern tribes are hard-working, moral, hospitable and cooperative until they adopted the "bloody" Jihad ideology from extremist Islam.

Ojukwu was born in the North, so was Nnamdi Azikiwe ever before the amalgamation and birth of Nigeria.

Religion without respect for human lives and dignity is the destructive monster dividing this country.

Secondly, the war against western education by the Islamist is a great problem. Education has the tendency to liberate the ignorant from being used as a willing tool by the religious ideologists from both side of the isles.

We can still work together but with equal respect for the rule of law, let's adopt Regionalism, State Police, Decentralised Government and an independent Judiciary among many other workable initiatives. If this doesn't work, let go the way of USSR in 1991.

greatdave: jobless cowards! Una don kill una brodas finish na women nd children remain abi? Arä lo ma sön pa yìn!!

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.

owobokiri: Sucking furiously from Hausa/fulani behind has always been their favorite pastime

babyosisi: By Comrade Lawrence Chinedu Nwobu


[b]As the civil-war commenced, Murtala Muhammed entered the war in the Midwest campaign where he robbed the Central Bank in Benin, and began his litany of war crimes. Federal forces under his command unleashed a massacre of Igbos in Benin city and environs, however Asaba became the legendary centre were Murtala Muhammed set a record of war crimes. In a rain of blood, [size=18pt]tens of thousands of innocent youths, some of them just 6 years old were lined up on the streets of Asaba and executed in cold blood on the direct orders of Murtala Muhammed[/size]. The Asaba massacre was the first of its kind in Africa and remains one of the bloodiest to date in the history of the African continent. As a further testimony to the bloodlust and depravity demonstrated by Murtala Muhammed and his forces, few kilometres away in Onitsha, another barbaric massacre was unleashed in the Apostolic Church where over 300 civilians, devout Christians including women and children who had stayed back and continued in their prayers after the fall of Onitsha were brutally murdered in cold blood. [/b]

But beyond his crude barbarity which he repeatedly manifested in the violation of women and cold blooded massacre of defenceless civilians, he was an ill disciplined, failed soldier who In spite of the immense amounts of men and ammunition at his disposal suffered crushing defeats in most of his military campaigns against barely armed Biafran soldiers. His military campaign to take Onitsha, where he acted against orders from military headquarters ended in a humiliating defeat, and his 96 vehicle column of heavily armed troops who were ambushed and totally wiped out at Abagana are some of the worst defeats suffered by the Nigerian army in the civil war. His string of tactical failures led to his exit from the war theatre.

No doubt, one of the greatest murderers, war criminals, and opportunists in Nigeria‘s chequered history, his entire war career is littered with war crimes committed in different theatres of war.

In July 1975, he seized power in a coup but was shot dead in a military putsch in February 1976, at last a victim of the bullets he had used to kill so many. In the end he left behind a legacy of barbarities, war crimes, bank robbery, destruction of the federal civil service and failure as a soldier. An avowed secessionist who became an opportunist apostle of one Nigeria, not because he genuinely believed in Nigeria, but for reasons of opportunism. The emergence of his likes as leaders, remains the greatest reason why Nigeria has failed.

Murtala Muhammed’s hands are soiled with so much blood, and even though by his death he escaped justice in the physical, he is sure getting his punishment in the spiritual realm. His entire generation of descendants shall also continue to pay one way or the other for the sins of their father.
