1 Patriotic Nigerian leader that could have hastened Mandela's release from prison



One Nigerian leader that could have hastened Mandela's release from prison or an outright military confrontation with the Apartheid regime in South Africa was Murtala Mohammed.Said “When I contemplate the evils of apartheid, my heart bleeds and I am sure the heart of every true blooded African bleeds...” speech at the OAU heads of state extraordinary meeting in Addis Ababa on January 9,1976 shocked the world.He was killed 32 days after this speech.

There was a time all of Africa looked up to their big brother...
