As someone who grew up in a very military family and even served briefly I was thinking about how some officers became very popular in the country and I decided to make my list of the 6 most popular officers that have come out of the Nigerian military ...This is my list but your are free to add yours .

1 Kaduna Nzeogwu

2 Odimegwu Ojukwu

3 Murtala Mohammed

4 Sani Abacha

5 Mustapha Hamza

6 A M Yerima

Obasanjo and murtala are the most popular. Followed by Babangida and Abacha. Then Ojukwu.
They don't know mustapha in your town. He's forgotten already. And who's the last fellow?

aswani:

Replace Vasta with Idi Agbon, add Murtala Mohammed, Major Hamza Mustapha and our new champ Lt. Yerima and I will agree with your list.

You think Yerima popular 1/10 of Sergeant Roger, Babangida, Yakubu Gowon , Obasanjo.
Anyway, you are talking base on your age.

Only Odimegun and Abacha are in class of the those I mentioned.

LeeSmart:
It's funny how u guys are leaving Abacha and Buhari behind😢

There is nothing spectacular about Buhari

aswani:
People were pleased about the coup until the smoke cleared and some were able to paint a tribal tinge to it (which in fairness was hard to defend).

However if he had been assigned to "deal with" Zik or Mbadiwe, he would have done it. That I am convinced about. Once more, he was let down.



The level of idiocy that WAI cured was wonderful to behold, shame once more, like in Nzeogwu's case, a principled officer was let down.

He wasn't let down. He was deceived by the original plotters who had a different motive.

What the OP said is popular, so tell me who's more popular than buhari and abacha?

I won't disagree with that.

I di think we are using different words to say the same thing though.

Tell me what makes Buhari popular as a military officer back then
