lol. Dont make me laugh pls. When u scroll down wikipedia page, do u find references or not. They dont just write from a source , they gather various sources together both pro and cons about the subject matter. Alot of people use the references on wikipedia for educational work. I used it for my project work in my final year at obafemi awolowo university. So dont get all ignorant here saying wikipedia isnt credible. Go and look it up again and come back to tender ur arguments

kstix:

u must be really delusional to compare hitler with murtala. Murtala didnt become head of state through coup. Gowon did after ironsi plotted nigeria's first coup. I refered u to wikipedia. Go and read about him, get ur facts right before coming to post what u have half knowledge about

[b] I remember sometime in the 90's when my cousin came back from the UK and 'dashed' me £15 pounds. On the 5 pound note was Florence Nigthingale, the British woman creditated with inventing modern day Nursing profession. On the 10 pound note was Isaac Newton, renouned British physicist. All over the world, different nations honour their heroes and celebrated citizens by giving them a place of priviledge on their local currency. Those heroes are usually people of impeccable character who have contributed positively to the country and even the wider world. People worth emulating.

It is therefore shocking that a country like Nigeria can give a coup plotter, failed Soldier, genocidal killer, mass-murderer and despot such Murtala Ramat Mohammed a place of honour on the N20 note. It is a national disgrace and embarrassment that a man like Murtala Mohammed can be celebrated in our soceity this way after all the crimes he committed in his life time. Murtala's crimes are too numerous but I will mention just 3.

1) He led the counter coup of July 1966 where he superviced the systematic slaughter of over 300 fellow Soldiers, mostly of Eastern extraction which included General Ironsi. Murtalas coup then took on ethnic and religious connotations and ultimately resulted in over 50,000 people, men, women and children being killed.

2) At the start of the war, Murtala Mohammed marched into Asaba. The few Asaba indigenes who still believed in 'one Nigeria' came out to welcome the Federal troops at cable point area of the city. Almost 1000 of them were gunned down on the spot by Murtala's men.

3) Retreating Biafran troops had blown up the Niger Bridge leading into Onitsha. Murtala was warned by Army headquarters that Biafran Soldiers had taken up defensive positions on the other side of the River. He was told to go up north where it was safe to cross the River. Murtala, believing in his false sense of bravado as a military tactician, disregarded direct orders and tried to cross the River into Onitsha 3 times. All met with huge catastrophe amongst his troops. Thousands of Nigerian soldiers were used as target practice by the Biafran Soldiers while others drowned in the River. Murtala then went up North and crossed the River then tried again to invade Onitsha. He led a contingent of 100 trucks full of troops, ammunition and supplies but was but was stopped at Abagana and completely destroyed. Murtala barely made it out of that battle with his life. After this episode, Murtala was recalled from the war front and sent on indefinite leave to London after leading thousands of men to their deaths due to his bad leadership.

Murtala was one of the worst Officers ever produced by the Nigerian Army. He was a homicidal maniac, accomplished coup plotter, genocidal killer, military dictator and a narcissist of incredible dimensions. Why is this evil man on the N20 note? [/b]

StOla:
When a conquered people want to dictate who the victorious side regard as a hero.

He fought in the war, he was military head of state who first espoused the concept of patriotism and personal sacrifice for the good of the country.

He remains a Nigerian hero without regard to Biafran opinion.

Only the tribe that are currently eternal slaves to Gambaris in Ilorin will type the above post.

It's only a reflex reaction for slaves to rush to defend their masters if their masters are being exposed.

I keep wondering why at every post that relates to the Northerners written probably by someone from the SE, a yoruba person or people are usually the ones who defend them tooth and nail even if it is detrimental to their well being. I notice these things in all post. I think I need to do more research on this behavioural tendency. Whenever a story is written about the north, u see northerners defend them selves but have more yorubas defending. More. I see this very well on nairaland and facebook. I wonder why that's so. Just them. They never see anything wrong with the hausas

misterawo:


In addition to the above, Murtala Mohammed supervised the execution of 300 worshippers at Christ Apostolic Church, Onitsha

Ipob loser. Have you worshipped Nnamdi kanu today? I know you arent gay, but you wont mind relishing on Nnamdi kanu's albino cocck.

kross01:


Word of advice sir, Wikipedia is not really a good source for reference that is why it can never be admissible in academic works as a reference source because it is open source document whereas anyone can login and edit or posit a write up there. That said, I believe you should be the one to read more about MM as it is on record that he spearheaded the 1966 coup and the subsequent one that toppled Gowon. As a matter of fact, he wanted to head the SMC after the 1966 coup despite being a jnr Officer below the ranks of Adeyinka, Babafemi, Gowon and Ojukwu. His coup plots are known to be arrogantly styled that in both occasions he openly announced it to whoever cared to listen. As a matter of fact, he told Gowon's CSO when planning the coup against Gowon blankly that there was a plan for a coup and he could go reveal it to anyone he liked.

pazienza:


Nnamdi is a man you can never be. Hero Worship is not an Igbo thing, it's a Yoruba thing. In Igboland, leaders are revered as they serve the masses and not worshipped.

Neddstark:


Lol okay keep reverring Nnamdi kanu like ojukwu was reverred till he led more than 3 million Yeeebos to extermination. Shattap. Murtala Mohammed is a civil war hero. He played his role in silencing Biafra. Lets not talk about the great Benjamin Adekunle whose sting makes the people land of red mud cry with terror.

pazienza:


Lol! Too bad your incompetent Murtala was butchered like a Salah Ram, your Adekunle was disgracefully discharged from the Army with no pension or gratuity, and eventually died a pauper rejected by his own people, so much that none was merciful enough to pay for his medical bills.

These are the type of men you worship in your Sharia Islamic caliphate of Arewa-Odualand ?

seunmsg:
Another wailing thread by a pained ipob wailer. Murtala Muhammed is a former head of state and a national hero who fought gallantly during the civil war to keep Nigeria together. We shall continue to honour him in as much as Nigeria is still in existence. All your allegations against him are pure trash. You Ipob revisionist should learn to move on, the civil war is long over. Accept your defeat and stop wailing over what happened in the 1960's.

MutantMetahuman:
Ipobian goats never get over anything in their life. May be that's why they remain so backward.

They never get over civil war that happened 40 something years ago, when the Germans have moved after losing two consecutive world wars and now a world power.

They never get over gej's loss. They want buhari to fail even if the failure spells doom for them.


.. I don't know what these people are made of..
There is special breed of hatred in them that is out of this world.

Buncha sore losers

Very well written..that note sgould have fela kutis mother instead or one of the many trailblazers nigeria has produced. That fellow was a criminal and serial coupist... he spear headed the killings during the counter coup of 1967 which produced gowon and he then even overthrew gowon because he was not a Northern muslim.. dimika another sorry case fortunately ended murtalas coup ploting days..
