What a "Nation"?
When the war ended, the then Head of State declared "no victor, no vanquished" and launched the three "Rs" (reconciliation, reconstruction, rehabilitation).
Yet the Asaba genocide perpetrator, Murtala Ramat Mohammed have national edifices named after him, while Joseph Achuzie who stopped Mohammed from perpetrating more genocide have no national edifice named after him.
Nnamdi Kanu would have made sense, if he were tactful and strategic.
CAO.
