AI source guide:

Authored by Adeyinka Makinde, this text outlines the uncompromising stance of the Nigerian military government led by Murtala Muhammed and Olusegun Obasanjo against Apartheid and colonialism in southern Africa from 1975 to 1979. American embassy dispatches accurately predicted the leaders’ anti-West attitudes and commitment to African liberation, noting their hardline rhetoric and actions, such as Obasanjo’s prior occupation of U.S. embassy property. This aggressive policy was exemplified by Muhammed’s “Africa Has Come of Age” speech, which directly challenged U.S. policy for implicitly supporting white minority rule, and by Obasanjo’s subsequent actions, including hosting Anti-Apartheid conferences and nationalising British Petroleum for its alleged dealings with South Africa. Overall, the text emphasises their significant and determined contribution to the struggle for Black African liberation.
