Default Re: The Roller-Coaster Life of Murtala Mohammed



This is probably the best write up I have read on the NVS.

Exciting, Informative, clarity of style giving the reader an opportunity to make ones mind up about the central characters.

I was transported back in time, as if I were there in person!! I remember Friday the 13th of February 1976 as if it were yesterday, honestly!! I remember the excitment of Dimkas capture, close to Abakaliki, and his subsequent execution.

Pity, Nigerian history and social studies are not part of the primary school curriculum in Nigeria anymore; this was agreat history lesson!!

I shall reserve my judgement about Murtala Muhammed, suffice it to say some of my preconceptions have taken a knock today.

....to imagine that , IBB, OBJ and Buhari have been within the inner circle of Nigeria's politics for so long, is quite worrying....but, I'll leave that for another day.

I'll just sit back now and savour this moment, I have had a wonderful 30-40 minutes reading this article.

I shall definitely look for and buy the book.
