How did Murtala and Ibrahim later died?

Also don't forget to add the late king was married to a Yoruba woman.

Rest in Peace
And who even caused the Civil War! Was it the duo of Murtala & Taiwo? And without holding brief or supporting the duo for their actions & inactions, what happened prior to that ugly & painful incident? Always endeavor to tell history in full as half truth is a socio crime

As a Muslim,

Whether Dangote dies or I die:

Na 6 feets!
No Coffin/Casket!
Na white cloth to wrap the dead!
People would pray Janazah for us similarly!
And we'll be buried similarly in the grave!

All the Billions he get will stay behind to be owned by others while he'll still account for how he amassed them!
All I have too would stay behind and I'll be called to account for my wealth too even if na thousands!

Someone is close to his 99th birthday and you put it as a report that the course of his death is still sketchy.

Are you normal?

Are you in support of Asaba massacre or it did not happen? Is it justifiable to kill unarmed civilians that poses no threat. Nothing new, I still remember General Ahmed Taiwo (Ibrahim Taiwo son) claim

RIP to a very notable Igbo king...i remember his plead and quest for the creation of two more Igbo states from Delta and Rivers,so that Ndigbo will have seven states and major up with other regions. A member of the inner chambers of Ohaneze,he gave an in-depth story of what actually happened on the 5th of October 1967,now known as the Asaba Massacre!When the Nigerian 2nd division led by col. Murtala Mohammed and maj.Ibrahim Taiwo committed genocide against Ndigbo. We still remembers with pain in our hearts.
Are Asaba folks Igbo? 🧐🧐🧐

Yes he was an oshimili king but not a supporter of your senseless biafra struggle. That struggle cost us a lot during the war.
He's hardcore Biafra
When Gowon came to visit him at the Palace, he refused to come out. Gowon waited for over two hours.
It was his wife and the palace chiefs that pleaded with him to see Gowon
Igbos aren't Yorubas who don't have honor and pride
Gowon apologized that day
