For a young guy like you spewing out that kind of venom, its no surprise Nigeria is in a mess that she's in. Look for a way to make things better for you than get so embittered with a war that happened before your birth. No successful being in the history of the universe clamor for unwinnable war.
Young man, am just protecting my tribe and would continue to do so! Of what value would i be when i see my tribe been insulted and tortured on a public forum without giving them backup?? It quite natural you know.

What people fail to understand is that economic dominance is our inheritance, million of Igbos were kill by the blood sucking vampire Gowon. 44 year later the decendance of the marginalized igbos came back and even more stronger to the point that Nigeria would be igbonized cheesy . Hahahaha

Dangote is just one person that monopotilized the trade dominance of the northerners while the cone head westerners had nothing to write home about....

the other day, the ghanians are complaining on how the igbo came and took over their business and make them jobless, but trust me, it not our fault, we are just uncompetitable. Malawi would be far better than Nigeria without the igbos.
That's true bro

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.

^^^Oh, he had an economic blueprint alright.......spend-spend-spend like there's no tomorrow!

Got the part of protecting your tribe, you can do that and not be condescending. Nigeria's unity is important and deriding others won't help. I wish all young Nigerians would collectively condemn all this worthless and corrupt leaders turning the country into cesspool of corruption and mismanagement. Others are guilty of this tribal bashing too and yours just got my curiosity. Don't mean to single you out.

The funny thing is that you still live in the country. If I that left Nigeria in my teenage year many, many years ago can be hopeful for the country, how come people that are stuck in the country are pessimistic ?. Just wish all the useless, inept, corrupt leaders and their oligarch friends will be driven out of power through any means necessary.

That will never happen. He is still hale and hearty while the coward who disguised as a woman is .... The more you support Biafra, the more you shall have more fruitless battles.

^^^You're more repulsive than diseased scum!

Hale and hearty indeed!....When the the 'one Nigeria' he spilled blood and wasted millions of lives for is competing with the likes of Afghanistan and Somalia in the failed-states stakes; when his people are being slaughtered like fowl by the very masters whose interests he slavishly served and protected during the war! His masters gave him a few more years as head of state to reward him for the dirty business he helped them with from 1967 to 70, and then they turfed him aside like garbage and took over what they saw as their birthright (but this time with no 'pesky inyamiris' to compete with and edge them out based on merit).....and they've tenaciously held onto this so-called 'birthright' up until the ' angryinfidel fisherman from Otuoke angry' came on the scene and messed up their hustle!

God only kept him alive this long so he can rue the wrong choices he's made in life, and see the consequences such choices have brought to his people and the entire country in general!

With Gowon i prefer to let sleeping dogs lie, but you bastards (who i suspect are not even from his ethnic group) keep on stirring up bad feelings against him thinking you're mocking Igbos/Biafrans!

I wish nincompoops like you were around your present age in 1967. Your unbalanced reasoning would have pushed you to the war front. Unlike Ojukwu who had the opportunity to disguise as a woman and run away, yours might have been different.
Get it into your thick skull. The fact that there is no Biafra is enough to make Gowon a more fulfilled man than any of your kindred.

Re: 80th Birthday Of General Yakubu Gowon by naijaking1: 9:47pm On Oct 19, 2014
Happy birthday to Gowon, but please don't die without answering the following questions:

1. As the principal secratary to Ironsi, what really happened to your boss?
2. Sarduana of Sokoto was known to have pledged using northern christians like you as an instrument of to extend Othman dan Fodios empire to the Ocean in the south, and a situation verified by more recent events of Fulani attacks on your Berom folks, do you have any regrets failing to protect fellow christians, mainly Igbos leaving in the north from organized genocide by the same Hausa/Fulani people when you had powers to do so?
3. What really happened at Aburi? Please don't tell us that Ojukwu was more prepared for the meeting, while you came for a vacation.
4. If Aburi was a pivotal moment to have prevented the war, why didn't you take it seriously?
5. Finally, sir, and for the sake of your children, grand children yet unborn, when are we going to have your own account of the civil war like those of Obasanjo, Madiebo, Ojukwu, and even Achebe.

Hey take it easy dude..... urs is too much. Ave been following ur comment on dis thread. Nobody hate d igbos. I did history dude. I repeat nobody hate d igbos. Ur fellow man who ruled dis country was d architect of dis shit u guyz are seeing today. Am talking of Aguyi Ironsi, Nigeria first head of state, Aguyi politicize d army, there were lot of criminal activities during his reign, he refused to prosecute d perpertrators mainly because dey were igbos. Some westerners and northerners were killed, u guys had d golden chance of producing d first military head of state but u didn't used it well. Now, Ojukwu would ave won d battle but it was fought at d wrong time. Its true, dat u guyz are blessed, no doubt about dat, but one thing u people lack is RESPECT. Humility can take a man to anywhere he wants to go....... It is not by u dominating or not. So, and one thing u should know in war is that 'everything is fair in war' even d some said d meaning of NAIRA is Never Allow Igbo Rule Again.... I will tell u dis again, Ojukwu fought d war at d wrong time. So, pls calm down and don't allow anybody spoonfeed u again with lies and hatred. And go do d Research dude, d only tribe in Nigeria, d foreigners respect and fear most are the Hausas.... Coz d hausas are so united and dey speak with one voice and wen u talk about Humility give it to dem.... And u begin to wonder, 'why is it so, do dey contribute anytin 2 Nigeria's economy'. D igbos and yorubas ave sometins in common, we don't speak with one voice'. So, cool down ur temper and let's carry on wit life. Don't ever have it in mind dat u can igbonize Nigeria coz nobody will even allow d igbos to preside over dem , and of coz I hope u still remember Where Nigeria military headquarter is? Dey have a reason for putting it there and not in d East' coz no Nigeria can trust d igbos again for what Aguyi and Ojukwu did.... So all igbos should be patient and let us all be in UNITY.

yea it is good he is still hale and hearty, so that he could see how mesirable the Nigeria he fought and killed for have become 44year after the civil war.

trust me, his mind would be filled with regret for what he did because Nigeria of today had nothing to write home about.

What could Nigeria have done without the igbos?? Ok now, just imagine Nigeria without the igbo, poor economic right? international trade 0% right ? Economic dominant in African 0% right? Low GDP right? ( igbo contribute 80% of Nigeria GDP if not more)? Filming industry 0% right? Technology would be -5% without the igbo, because even small camera made in Aba would be import by the lazy westerner and northerner!

I tell you solemly the death of the fateful Biafrans would remain in our heart and their death would be avenge very very soon.

Biafra would reign and nigeria would never know peace! angry

Now let me enligten you a bit. Dangote had monopolitized the north. The richer he get, the poorer the people becomes, you know why? There is no equitable distribution of resource.

while in the east, the resource are equally distributed which makes almost every body live above $1 per day.

Awolowo have done more harm than Good with his free education cheesy cheesy
