IAmSkinny:
He is nice, no doubt but he killed so many unarmed civilians at Asaba.
He is a bloody coup plotter who has a hand in the murder of Ironsi and the anti Igbo progrom.

In his few months as commander of the federal republic of 9ja, the whole nation witnessed real change. He is d best leader dis nation ever had......with d look of tinz nw, probably will ever have.....jst in 6 months

His only mistake was dat he has a good heart towards his enemies. He retired all those savages who ruined the country @ dat time and banished dat stupid Gowon to exile. these crooks came 2geda and finish him off.

lesson. .......after cutting d head of d snake, burn it and feed it to d pigs coz u neva know.

On the fateful day, the people trooped out, dressed in their traditional white Asaba attire, chanting “One Nigeria,” waving the Nigerian flag and pledging their loyalty to Nigeria. At the town square, they were addressed by Major Ibrahim Taiwo, who tongue-lashed them and accused the people of Asaba of hiding Biafran soldiers and sympathising with the Biafran soldiers. He threatened to kill all of them. Soldiers mounted machine guns and automatic rifles around the square facing them. It looked like a joke to many of those gathered there.

The Nigerian soldiers asked that the crowd march around the town to ask all those who were inside to come out, so that anybody not at the square would be taken as a dissident. The men and boys were separated from the 
women. The men and boys were marched out. A few metres away, those who had returned from the North and therefore understood Hausa heard a soldier tell other soldiers to take them in little groups of 10 for elimination. Dr Uraih recalled that his elder brother resisted joining the first group of 10 people. He was shot in the back and killed. Some people wanted to flee but were gunned down. And so the guns began to boom as the men and boys were mowed down.

A lot of people are oblivious of this historical phenomenon.
I myself was oblivious of this until I stumbled on a wikipedia article last month.
I used to think he was a saint, but not anymore!

ameri9ja:
Also he was documentedly quite corrupt.

IAmSkinny:

IAmSkinny:
Ahhhh! Really? Even had a hand in the anti Igbos 1966 progrom. They ain't no saint in Nigeria after all

Corrinthians:
Rumours have it that Autojosh has bought Nairaland from Seun.

YorubaAssasin:
You seem a pretty civil individual and hence, I find it worthy to hold a civil conversation as called for.

A retrospective background on the genesis of the Igbo issue and 1966 coup...

The Murder of Ironsi was apparently a revenge counter-coup from the Northerners. Ironsi was a FOOL! (no disrespect). He didn't make the needed strategic moves to bulk himself with the necessary ammunitions when he had the chance.

Major Nzeogwu (God bless his heart... the only gallant Igbo soldier I respect till date) handed power over Northern Nigeria to Ironsi out of respect for his superior office and probably cultural values. To me that was where Igbo gave up their chance to rule.

Ojukwu, who held Maj. Nzeogwu to a ransom as he did him a favor by releasing him after turning himself in to the Fed. gov't. He in turn treated the Major with disdain and disrespect by disarming him even, during the Biafra war. This all becuz of unnecessary pride and ego ( to prove to him who the real boss is in the SE region) as he (Ojukwu) realizes the gallant Major was gaining more popularity and affection than him.

There're very solid, again, I say very solid evidences that Ojukwu strategically killed Major Patrick 'Kaduna' Nzeogwu. He never fought for Biafra as widely believed. His murder was well planned that his eyes were gorged out of his skull. He agitated for one Nigerian with Awolowo as the president. He and his men were given shelter by late Tai Solarin at Mayflower in Ikenne.
This was where he surrendered to the FG. Till date, ask any Ex-Mayflower student... there's a very popular road named after him, "Major Chukuma Kaduna Nzeogwu road". Tai Solarin loved him dearly. His own Igbo pple didn't even accord him such regard and reverence.

I'm not objecting your claim regarding the massacre... but, common we all know this is Military where everything is under authoritative command!
Murtala is a very guy that represents the epitome of simplicity and discipline. His coup that ousted Gowon was bloodless. Did you know that Murtala was systematically robbed of the Head-Of-State position given to Gowon. He felt bitter and aggrieved all thru Gowon's 8yrs yet, bloodlessly ousted him.

To be continued ....
