Growing up, my mother had a plate set with pictorial designs of this man engraved on the lid and on the sides. It was one of her favorites.
Then, I’d take 20 naira note to buy a loaf of bread and a cooler of beans – of course, I somewhat respected Murtala Muhammed until I picked up a book.
Top 10 war criminals in Africa and this devil should easily be top 5. How we’ve named national signatures after war criminals is one of the stumbling blocks stopping this country from a pathway to possible unity.
Every time, an Asaba indigene travels through the airport in Ikeja – they are conscious of the fact that the man whose name the airport is named after lined up tens of thousands of armless young people on the streets and murdered them in cold blood.
He led repeated military campaigns in Onitsha (against orders from the military headquarters), this is after raiding blank the central bank in Benin – went into an Apostolic church in Onitsha and murdered 300 worshippers.
The legends of “great men” can be forged out of greed, stupidity, war crimes and barbarity. Shored up by liars and dissemblers, the misrepresentations repackaged, perpetuated and prospered into national consciousness, but not to the advantage of the vast majority of ordinary people – the pawns of history.
