When ordinary Northern NCOs had long ago slapped and beat Aguiyi Ironsi in 1966, Igbo people are still crying and call Danjuma a traitor in 2013.

Even though the event of July 29, 1966 was revenge coup, the northern coup plotters did not have the luxury to showcase the slappings as in the case of Diya, Olanrewaju and Adisa. In addition, Obasanjo was mesmerizingly manhandled in Nigerian prisons in Bauchi.

Is learning HISTORY a kind of lamentation?

Igbos would never learn let them try the same thing again they would get the same results

Real men don't run from the battlefield while his men die needlessly for his poor judgement and foolish actions.

Real men accept their situation and hope to do better another day, but they don't cry, moan, point fingers and make silly excuses all day everyday.

You people really need to give it a rest because this daily victim mentality and drama is all played out and pathetic.

You couldn't have put it better. They keep whining and whingeing and keep blaming us for their mistakes

I honestly believe gowon will never write his memoirs. His role in history is just too dark and I'm sure he tries to forget it.

He was installed as head of state over many of his seniors based on the wishes of the northern elite, due process was murdered and hasn't been properly revived, even after the war some of his gaffes on political and ecocomic matters are the stuff of legend and jokes

My dear, you have successfully derailed this thread. This thread was not about what Ojukwu did or did not do. It wasn't about what Gowon did or did not do. It wasn't about what Awolowo did or did not do.
The threat was about Gowon writing a War Memoir, as the then Head of State. But like the recent trend on NL, the thread has been derailed to Tribal Bashing.
We have had all the arguement for and against Ojukwu/Awolowo. But we will like to hear from one of the Major actors of the War time Nigeria, Gowon.

T9ksy:


Haba! my brother from a different father,gba brake naw! The op stated his reason why he believed Gowon could not write his memoir and that just got me thinking that i never saw Ojukwu's memoir assuming he wrote one, as i would love to read his thoughts on the civil war.

So,my questioon still remains the same- did ojukwu write a memoir, if he did then i want a copy but if he didn't then WHY didn't he.

Ojukwu's memoir was written long ago upon his return from Ivory coast. The memoir was called 'Emeka'. It was written by Frederick Forsyth on the approval of the Ikemba himself. Get it and read it, every thing you are demanding is contained therein. Still wondering why the Sw will always jump into defence of the north even when they (Sw) are not mentioned in any issue involving the north and East. Am beginning to suspect that what Achebe wrote about Awolowo might be true

How old are you sef? Ojukwu wrote more than one memoir and he wasn't even head of state. This thread isn't about ojukwu. You Yoruba boys love to spew nonsense like street thugs when u can easily talk sense.

If you look up a book or two instead of trying to earn some online gang love for tribalism you would easily know that Brigadier Ogundipe was the most senior officer and should have been head of state. The northern elite of course installed a northern christian puppet.

You don't need an invitation card but you need a little maturity and knowledge otherwise we could just get some goats and chimpanzees, give them some laptops and they would sound like you.

If you were discussing in a room full of people above the age of 17 you would have been laughed out the place but of course na anonymous moniker you dey use so u can talk absolute bunkum.

We are not fighting anybody again, its your turn coward. Just face your boko haram war comrades in Lagos. Tell us when you grow some balls to fight them and we shall vacate Lagos for you to fight them.

There have never been anybody with half the bravery of Ojukwu in the whole of yorubaland, and from the look of things, there will never ever be a war hero of yoruba extraction!

The evil that men do, lives with them. The fulani whom he teamed up with to kill Igbos are slowly wiping his ethnic group out. Karma is a hottt biattch!

It was in MKO Abiola that I learnt the real definition of cowardice. This was a rich old fool who won the presidence clean and fair but the Fulanis ordered that he will never smell Aso rock because he was a low level inferior muslim. (The yoruba muslim are the slaves in the kindom of mohammed)

Instead of the asswipe to use his cash and order a full scale free for all fight in this country, the idiott chose to enter prison and die of common cold. The fool could not even shoot a common knockout to defend his mandate, Aare ona kakanfo my left nyansh

[size=18pt]He really needs no memoirs
The legacy he left behind is a memoir of it's own
He fought for NIgeria and unable to live in his Nigeria
The man lives like a fugitive in London,the Nigeria he fought for is more divided today than it ever was and his united north myth has blown up in his face as Hausas and Fulanis massacre and pillage his own land of Plateau state as often as they wish.
He may not admit it,but I am sure deep down he wishes his middle belt region was never part of the north.
He has already received his reward many folds and still receiving it

" Yorubas are the trouble with Nigeria" Lamido Sanusi.

Just see how they bring their amala tactics to soil a cerebral discussion. Honestly only few of them on this site really have anything sensible to say. Smh

Gowon, a wartime head of state and commander in chief for almost ten years cannot write a simple shred of article or memoirs to give account of his years of stewardship in those difficult days and our yoruba bros dem only contribution is stuff they glean from their bigotry template like ojukwu fled to ivory coast, he married bianca etc

Gowon pops up every now and then to make hollow statements about achebe or ojukwu. As if the biggest issues facing this country are ojukwu. Smh

Lol! In abuja few weeks ago there was a fist fight at area 10 mosque between yoruba and hausa muslims because yoruba muslim took microphone to lead prayers. That day laugh nearly burst my belle. My office is close to the place and we were scared it would escalate.

Of course lagos and ibadan press no carry the story only "The Sun" gave it small notice. Smh

Dede1:


Are you sure about Zamani Lekwot being involved with the massacre of Igbo peeps in Kaduna? To the best of my knowledge no written account has associated Zamani Lekwot with such actions. There were instances soldiers such Bukar Dimka, Sani Abacha, M. Buhari, I Babamgida and M Shuwa were linked with 1966 pogrom in northern region of Nigeria.

Mamman Shuwa prevented Igbo massacres by ordering the armoury to be locked. Buhari protected some igbo officers from being murdered. Chukwuma murdered Sardauna-huge igbo mistake. Igbo murdered Tafawa Balewa-huge mistake.

Tolexander: Must everything be written for goodness sake?
Write a memoir for just teaching rebels a lesson and bring them back to understanding.

You could have even asked why Abraham Lincoln didn't write his own memoir of the civil war before being killed by john wilkes booth on the 15th of April 1865.

I killed a rat yesterday. You can as well ask me to write my memoir of the rat killed and how it was killed.

Awo the war criminal succumbed to Rat poison in a suicide. Maybe Gowon will go the same way except he confessed his atrocities and asks for forgiveness.

You are right about Shuwa. He did a lot for igbos I must admit. He was transferred from his post to one obscure place like this by the angry northern military elite

Abiola came back to Nigeria, declared himself the president despite the military dictatorship this is a bold step from a man who is not even a military man. But your hero from the wrapper tying tribe fled with his tail between his legs dressed in wrapper, wig and make up abandoning his rag tag army to their fate. There can never be any coward worse than ojukwu in any war history.
