It is good to keep track of history.
Simply put, the North has been the Achilles heel of Nigeria since Independence.
So glad I found this channel 👊 ✊️
🙏 So glad you're here.
With my knowledge of the Asaba massacre during the civil war under the watch of muritala Mohammed,it feels like justice seeing him killed in the same brutal manner those armless and defenseless men were killed at Asaba. Karma is real
Dinka was with his in his murderous activities.
😢
Good job Mr vile
Those of us who did not know what was going on at the time of his death was very saddened when he was killed not knowing it was the law of karma that was in operation. The Bible says" those who killed by the sword will surely die by the sword".
Murtala's brutal killing has nothing to do with karma. His killing was as a result of ethical sentiment by a kinsman to Gowon named Dimka.
Stop that nonsense, I would say it was foreign influence was involved, the western criminals never like it when small countries are doing their own thing, remember what they did to Thomas Sankara of Burkina.
As far as we still have so many ignorants in the continent. For 30 years countries like Russia and china 🇨🇳 were poor and look today both countries, they are now global leaders why because the biggest evil on earth the USA and its European puppets can’t bully them.
Do you know the meaning of karma, stop this ridiculous sentiment, anybody can die anytime anyday
@@IbrahimMohammed-rm6bk who killed The first head of state and first military administrator of the old western region.
Who killed those men?
@@adetayoakinmade9977 Surely you're the one missing the meaning of Karma.. Asaba massacre is enough reason for karma.
Those who live by the sword ⚔️
Die by the sword ⚔️
That's what they play in Military that lead to Gowon chosen over Ojukwu. U chose a junior to rule over his seniors...
Thank you for the video. I did not know this part of Nigerian history before. In Namibia the Nigerian High Commission is in Gen Murtala Muhammed Street. Now I know why
Wicked man!
👏👏👏👏👏👏nice one 👍 😊
Kharma came for him ! Brutality begets brutality !
It's unforgettable experience that can not be eras over the years.
Muritala Muhammed was on his way to jumat at the dodan barracks Central mosque when he was attacked by Dimka
Good video
Good video, but some Murital didnt come in with a bloody coup.
Thanks for not missing out the critical fact that made Biafra to fail which was that instead on reinforcing their defence around the Biafra geographical region Ojukwu ordered his soldiers to take Mid-West and proceed to take South West and Lagos! That was fatal error!!!!!!!!!! If Ojukwu had remained within the Biafra land without the tall ambition he would have succeeded. The costly mistake does not always get mentioned.
What do u mean take Lagos ? Was biafra going to add lagos in biafra?
Don't u know the reason why they went to Lagos ?
Ojukwu had no plans to move to Lagos or the western region
@@charlesudechi2796 what were the reasons for advancing towards the Western region and coming towards Lagos until they were decimated at Ore?
Ojukwu's father owned the largest estate in Lagos as at then; you wouldn't expect an Igbo man to forsake his landed and juicy properties and go defend where he had nothing.
Private interest. Now we know.
God Save NIGERIA 🙏
These were kids, young, vibrant and examplary young men, though dutiful and ready to serve, Greed and Mistrust fueled from all angles ruining everything.
An opportunist and calculated killer he was.Thank God he was stopped in his tracks
Gowon's loyalists from the middle belt killed him to reinstall the toppled former head of state. There was a power tussle between the hausa/ fulani officers and the their counterparts from Benue/ plateau.
It Was Obasanjo Planning
Any proof.? You have introduced bias. Obasanjo himself narrowly missed being killed in the Doimka coup. One officer, Colonel Dumuje, was mistaken for Obasanjo and shot,though he didn't die.
Go and read history.
@@fatonabiona5820 Why do you think Gen. Gowon was pardoned to return back to nigeria from the UK....ignoramus.
@@fatonabiona5820 What do you know about nigeria military history.
Indeed I feel like what my father his memory is just around me now unfortunately he exit last 2 years ago. But as I watch these videos it reminded me what he was telling me before he passes away .I only heard from him, am so amazing for such history in my life an to tells my children someday. 😢😂😂😂
God's justice never fails. He may delay it but it is sure. He deliverers on time.
My man, I will always remember you.RIP
Those who killed by the sword will be as well killed by the sword QED!
That is arrant nonsense, that then means all the Nigerian soldiers should perish
Dimka did so well by taking down the Jihadist Murtala Muhammed..He did not wear his juju to the mosque on that fateful day of Feb 13th 1976.
In as much as he was a great patriot he was too angry and vengeful
Gown lived among them that was why he kept Muritala and other core northerns closed. That was the only reason he survived and not killed
The war is on. I think it will be good for the search overall. Maybe a bit rough for Google but they will find their feet eventually.
Britain should be blamed for doing a very poor work on Nigeria.
I wish to also suggest WE RETURN TO REGIONAL GOVERNMENTS.
Danjuma was trained in Sandhurst not Aldershot as narrated please.
Good save Nigeria!
Olushola Awoyomi
Who knows about colonel henry ugboho during the civil war?
He was beheaded in Benin
@adetayoakinmade9977, The problem with most Nigerians is that they don't know when it's appropriate to use certain words. Some may argue that what happened to the Biafra military when Nigeria soldier won the war during the Civil War was karma for his actions. Of course, as a military man, he may have experienced gun injuries at some point. However, we don't have concrete evidence about his own case, linking that to Buhari and other military officers I think they are once victims of injury from gunshots only God say it is not their time to answer the eternal calling. Therefore, the law of karma doesn't apply here. As a soldier, he is trained to carry a gun, and this is part of their training protocol.
I grew in my home country seeing Gen.Murtala Mohammed face in our kitchen utensils even still date ....when why,I was told told he was a military president of Nigeria with good leader qualities and with no fear of favours...he loved his country Nigeria and his leadership qualities made the Ikeja-Lagos international Airport be named after him.
In War Both Side Killed. Both Have Their Karma. Who Are Those That K!lled The Hausa, Fulani, Yoruba And Okotie Eboh.
Good job, but this video probably should have been named " the rise and fall of Murtala Mohammed"
Murtala the lagend off nigeria❤️👈
Today in Nigeria 28 years 58 years mumu, they beggars in Nigeria 🇳🇬
"Detribalized"?!
That's one thing that Murtala Mohammed WAS NOT.
Karma came back to the young ambitious Muhammad. Gowon knew that Muhammad was brutal , ambitious to take power even before the civil war and used him to fight the civil war then trying to take him out of military but Muhammad took him out of power
Muhammed is a great leader inrespective of your opinion
@@adetayoakinmade9977 you’re entitled to you opinion.
😊
He defeated your grandparents that’s why🤣🤣😂.he was the best head of state ever period
@@khalidbashir4017 🤣 you felt bad
History is subjective. However, most of her narrative is flawed with inconsistency.
She try to dehumanised Murtala, even Obasanjo that succeeded him honour his integrity till today.
This is largely responsible for the civil due to his counter coup, in which Gen Ironsi was brutally killed. He was also the worst war commander, he allowed Ibrahim Taiwo to carry out the Asaba massacre. As karma would have it it too killed in a rain of gun fire by his northerner. He spent about six months in office, same length as Gen. Ironsi. Mr. Karma has no friend and has no foe, he distributes retribution in his own time.
To be honest, Ojukwu tried, but the big mistake he made was not to have allowed the so called Biafra people to have stayed in there own land and fight any other tribe that wants to invade in...then it will then left for the Yoruba people to know there own faith.. well it's a pity Nigerian still remains like this... God help this country.
So who tribes destroyed Nigeria???
Murtala was a sadist and jihadist but
courageous soldiers halted his evil ambition
Perfect voice is that which you, but your briefing which is historic is only one sided, even it was about the assassination of the said late head of state Murtala Mohammed.
Gowan is the biggest looter of Nigeria 🇳🇬
Even though I blame Ojukwu for not planning well before declaring biafra...I know Gowon was moving fast through degree to control what happens in South East. But he should have waited source for Allies good one.
Aside that I don't blame him for the war...
He is a man...and what he saw till today nobody has proven him wrong... South East till treated like they are not part of Nigeria.
People are quick to point finger and say igbos play victims but do not have that nerves to speak openly of the mindset of the North of thinking Nigeria is for theirs to rule . Yorubas might want to play 2nd citizen in their own country but igbo man won't accept nothing short of fairness and equity
Yorubas want to play 2nd citizens?
Where? President Tinubu's key appointments are mostly Yorubas. Just like the Northerners.
Lol.
Most Nigerians are tribalistic, Igbos, Hausas or Yorubas. Included.
Hausas/Fulanis are apparently been more blatant but others no less.
Gowon was not a man of his word on the Aburi Accord. The whole world as he agreed to the terms in Accra only for him to reject the agreement upon coming back to Lagos. While telling Igbos that they should return back to Nigeria with no security as a people. Ojukwu had no choice after council with the elders of the East to declare independence from Nigeria. Gowon was a puppet of the North and the British. Nobody even put up a fight for him when he was overthrown.
He was evil for those who killed him
He is now in HELL!!!He killed with the guns and died by the guns!!!
2:40 “in the same manner he entered it,in a SHOWER OF BULLETs” this statement is FALSE,no one was killed during the coup that brought Murtala to the throne.don’t show your bias or sentiments while narrating history
But he was the brains behind the july rematch, which eventually paved way to his own presidency, so yes, he left as he entered.
Understand before you comment. Not the way enter power but the way he enter political system. And it was true he enter political system through blood shed, during the Nigerian civil war, that's when he gain political system prominence.
@@abdullahiibrahimalhassan4460 Abdullahi are directing your comments towards me?😇
Go and read about the Asaba Massacre
In a shower of bullets
So biafra declared and immediately started attacking? Wow wow interesting history
well done Buka Suka Dimka .
Your report omitted the key reason for the second coup, which was merciless killing of Northern and Western Police and spiritual leaders by igbo officers, in an attempt to ensure eastern domination of the military. Danjuma, Murtala, and other northern soldiers were courageous to fight the eastern domination and avenge the killings of northern political and spiritual leaders.
Every documentary I’ve watched about Nigeria always make it seem like the easterners are always innocent and didn’t start the whole tribal killings in Nigeria.
Do you know that 90% of the soldiers involved in the first coup were of Northern and Western Extraction
History ville or biafra news and they hate murtala to the core.
This must be another Yoruba man being tormented by Ibo ghost😁😁😁😁. No matter how educated a yoruba man is primitive tribalism can not leave
@@judengenechukwuemeka3811 oga accept the fact your people started this whole thing.. y’all like to play the victim card and it’s disgusting at this point
😅 Nigerian are still suffering from the effect of the black Friday. May through his messy give us another of U. Bless you.
This documentary sacrificed objectivity, more of a PR stunt, please do an unbiased research of what happened in Asaba.
Ask the Igbos😂
The narrator is very biased against murtala Muhammed. She skilfully blackmailed him indirectly may be due to hatred as a result of his ethnic and religious identity. The murtala Muhammed we know may not be perfect but he was a military man with genuine lone for the country and all it's people especially the poor and vulnerable. He also started the plan to go back to democracy which is one of the things his predecessor did not want to do.
The same love that drove him to order the killing of innocent civilians in Asaba. He deserved what he got in my humble opinion.
Liar! I am not from the north or middle belt. But the truth is Gowon had the plan to hand over to democracy but the core northern clergies advised him to hold on. Muritala is a man we love in the south west, he even married our sister and I feel said his life was ended tragically. I still tell my kids his story, but don’t be tribalistic he had flaws. Gowon ‘s beautiful life showed he perhaps did something right..
Lol. Narrator is actually too kind.... murals Mohammed was a power hungry beast. And a failure as a military officer. He always craved for leadership but he sucked at it.
@@jeffreychukwufumnanya309716:47
Very correct
You people have started praising the past corrupt leaders. Later now una go praise Buhari.
Nobody's praising corruption you doughnut, she's just recounting a part of history regardless if the leader was corrupted or not, there were many corrupt leaders put in power by the British and the Jews, if this was about idi amin, would it still be unsatisfactory
Muhammed is exemptional
You don't know what you are saying.
@@johnsonolajide4647 you are not born at that time so you don't know much about him.
You’re an Igbo that’s why😂😂i can feel ur pain cuz he defeated your grandparents
Your report is pro Biafran, pro Igbos and anti Nigeria
Because the story didn't fit your narrative?
