Revealed: Real Reason Murtala Muhammad Picture Was Put On Our Currency by tsephanyah(op): 9:48am On Feb 01, 2024
Please, what did Murtala Muhammed do for Nigeria to deserve his picture being put on our money?

I have been struggling with this question since secondary school after I read about how he led a successful coup in 1966, a coup which can be credited as the main cause of the Biafran War.

He also killed and retired many traitors in the Nigerian army

Muritala Was a President of Nigeria

Gen Ironsi too is on the Naira yet he hijacked a coup that killed the president and the leaders of 2 Regions
Gen Ironsi's takeover of Govt was unconstitutional

Learn to look at issues from both sides
which naira is that?

Twenty Naira is no longer a currency.
Nigerian currency notes start from N100.

Why are you deflecting? Are you saying Murtala was put in the currency because Ironsi was alledgedly put there? Ironsi isn't on the naira!

While Muritala, who seized power and overthrew the government of Yakubu Gowon, was constitutional

Honestly, your foolery is legendary.

They probably want to immortalize him for carrying out the Asaba Masaccre during the civil war. For killing Atleast 1000 innocent harmless Igbo civilians,in the most gruesome manner and against all rules of military engagement.

The cause of Biafra was Ojukwu and his selfish ambitions disguised as a fight for liberation, the same tactics employed by Nnamdi Kanu and the spineless coward hiding in Finland to manipulate their illiterate followers like you.
Murtala is your daddy.
