He's the architect of Nigeria's problems. No blueprint for economic developments, no foresight to get a credit of a founding father, no plan for civilian govt, he introduced "odogi" inadvertently introduced corruption. The guy came unprepared to rule Nigeria.

What he killed millions of children for is the Nigeria we live in today.I wonder how Biafra would have been today if he had allowed that dream to cone true.
Its a shame Nigerians don't know there history. Hbd sha, but you killed the hope of Africa because the biafrains were the only people to survive without international help.
May the souls of all the departed biafrains rest in peace.

THE HISTORY

merrygorou:
Please who is Yakubu Gowon?

The Nigerian military head of state between 1966 and 1975.

He won the 1971 Nobel prize in Peace for his role in the extermination of Biafran rebels and in the restoration of Peace in a civil-war ravaged Nigeria.

I thought this man is dead

It's because they knew him too well, which in the other hand you don't.

Who in his clear conscience huge an active transformer.

.

The blood of the people he massacred between 1967 and 1970 will forever torment him. Have a terrible birthday!

GUESS SO.That experience made me realise that,that Genocide affected the minds of several Nigerians no matter the affiliations.

lynpetra:

Abeg Nigerians appreciate what he did for the country,The only people having a grouse with him are the bloody seccessionist from the east of the Niger

imas:
I hope he dies a miserable death.

That's nice of you wishing someone a miserable death. Clap for yourself.

of course nigerians appreciate it, the " bloody secessionist" from the east of the niger appreciate it more..one Nigeria has afforded them the opportunity to set camp in your backyard, it has afforded them the opportunity to buy up your 'supposed inheritance' from your fathers and grandfathers. .hurrah to yakubu gowon! hurrah to one Nigeria!

Dear Ikenna351, Afam4eva,
OAM4J and Seun.

A thread about Wande Coal birthday was on FP yesterday, I suppose this post should make FP to celebrate the youngest ever african leader.

who told you the he was the youngest ?haven't you heard about the Bukina Faso guy ?

How come some of the people blaming Gowon never see any reason to blame Ojukwu?. They are the two main characters in the destructive civil war ?. I guess why ?. Nigeria will never move forward until all this tribal jingoism is thrown into the dustbin of history where it belongs.

That man should be tried for genocide in an international court.

Anyways, seeing today is sunday. I say "Happy Birthday. If you happen to live long enough then you might one day be tried for genocide."

ebdib:
Nigerian youths wishing the men that took their future hbd.

I laugh in swahili

Our usual style of celebrating mediocrity;the guy had opportunities to turn this country to a developed country,he squandered our commonwealth,after telling us that "our problem is not money but how to spend it"...obviously clueless on wat to invest our wealth on...for 9yrswat happened in Ghana(the Rawlings example )shud happen to this guys...my opinion

Happy birthday.

This man will not die in peace and thing will go well generations unborn

This man will not die in peace and thing will go well generations unborn

Nigerians continue to pay a heavy price for allowing those who slaughtered women including pregnant women, children, innocent civilians and engaged in rapes, a needless war and other unconscionable barbarities that violate all norms of law and natural justice go scot free. It has fundamentally debased our society and created a Frankenstein of injustice and impunity that is devouring the nation. It has also nurtured and consolidated a culture of violence.  With no social, economic or political justice, Nigeria resembles more a jungle than a human society. This is the 21st century and if we desire to march along with the rest of the world in advancing human civilisation, it is necessary and urgent to bring Yakubu Gowon and his accomplices to trial for only by such a reckoning can Nigeria be freed from the demons of her past and unshackled from the prison of monumental injustice and impunity in which she remains presently chained.

So he killed millions for the Nigeria we are living today. I tell you solemly, you would die a mesirable dead and your body would be eatten by sahara vultures, Nigeria that you fight for would never know peace!!

Biafra would reign again....

Happy 80 birthday Yakubu Gowon. Thanks for not giving in to that bearded haughty man, who thought because he went to Harvard, you were inferior. At the end, he had to flee to Abidjan.
You made history. Our Abe Lincoln of our time.
