I pity your soul...advocating for a lost course you may never live to see...Ojukwu tried, he failed..you know why?..not because he didn't have the resources like people were lead to belief, he had more than the Nigerian government...his army were stronger (with juju too) but he failed. And again he would have failed had he tried even with Hitler size army.

Either we make it work or we all perish!

sammyj:
I support you on this because if this weapons are sold to the Nigerian FG they can use it against their political opponent during and after election. Yes BH can be eliminated with foot soldiers fully equipped and not with mini weapon of mass destruction that cannot be controlled by our incompetent government!!!!

SeverusSnape:

You're so so wrong, who told you Russian weapons are "too costly "?...For your information, Russian weapons are cheap especially the Kalashnikov, American weapons are more hi-tech, so they're more expensive, and Who told you "china weapon no too strong".....Do you think their weapons are those phones you buy in the market?

Amya:
One of the greatest disadvantages of the social media age Is that all of a sudden even dumb people have opinions. People who don't reason deeply are now quite opinionated.

A past leader spoke about some seriously deep issues here, and some people on here are dismissing him and the issues at hand.

I've said this times without number! the US is not our friend. If you reason deeply about this, you'll see that while they want to paint themselves the saint and the police to the world, they are doing everything to frustrate us in winning this war against the insurgents. I strongly believe they have a hand and are somehow involved with Boko haram. It explains why they won't sell weapons to us and make so much noise about human right abuse. What happened to the whole bring back our girls issue where they pledged to assist after riding on that story for weeks? Your guess is as good as mine!

No one should dismiss this allegations lightly. It's usually to the best to arm yourselves with knowledge of who your friends and foes are.

Soreza:
IDIOT SHUT UP,THE MAN IS HAS BEEN THE HEAD OF STATES AND KNOWS WHAT HE IS SAYING,ITS NOT TODAY AMERICA ARE NOT OUR FRIENDS NOT TODAY

juman:


You are right.

Gen. gowon and other clueless nigerian leaders are too useless to know that they needed to build a functioning country that will be able to build weapons.

What a failed nation!

prettyboi1989:
Nigeria can't just start producing weapons because they don't have the technical know how. U first need to understand ballistics before u can think of the design for a weapon. India has technical know how in terms of IT that's why u see them in most telecom coy's in nigeria. U dat u complaining dat nigeria can't produce its own weapons, if dey take u to school to study ballistics I doubt if u'll pass.

demopiper:
dupaul or dullpaul or whatsoever,we're all intellectuals here ,how will you say America is the one sponsoring BH just because they didn't sell weapons for Nigeria,try and back your story up next time

Toaskarity:
Didn't Gowon rule Nigeria for atleast more than six years, it's enough time to make ur country produce weapon for themselves and not begging begging ...oh I forget he was busy fighting his igbo enemesis

revolt:
why the Bleep do we hve universities and bury ur head in shame cos in the 60s biafra was building deadly mines. Nigeria today hasn't evn produced a grenade. If biafra had succeeded no doubt itd hve been africas 1st tech giants(hopefully).

FuckYou:

And from the 1967 to now we can't manufacture the equipments we need? All the ruling class have failed Nigeria
I know that Gowon will die in foreign hospital because the ruling class have nothing good to show for it

elemagoon:

Hiding behnd a pc to deride someone whose achievement can never b matched by u and or ur generation even if u reincarnate 20 times. Or u wnt to prove m wrong? Do so by been bold and reveal urself, who, what u are/do and have achieved at ur age (state) it.

omenka:
With all due respect, Gowon should take several seats abeg. Does the US need to be our friend for us to do anything right?? I bet Venezuella and Cuba and Iran would have been junkyards had their leaders been thinking like Nigerian leaders. We never depended on the US to fight Ebola to a halt but we did conquer it and got the much deserved accolades both locally and internationally for so doing.

Do what needs to be done and stop looking for people to blame your failures on, simple.

cap28:


And that is precisely the reason why the US and Europe made sure Biafra never saw the light of day, the biggest nightmare for any western nation would be the rise of a black superpower with the manpower, resources and technological know how capable of being self sufficient and a RIVAL to them. That nightmare had to be smashed as soon as possible and they used the likes of Gowon, Obasanjo and other scum to do their dirty work.

kopite:
Social media has given lots of people opportunity to spew rubbish out their ignorant minds. Gowon is not a kid and as such should be respected as a former head of states and an elder statesman. He has first hand information on security matters. Please don't discard his comments but lets look deeper and be constructive in our reasoning. America does not have d interest of nigeria in their policy. Thanks.

revolt:
don't forget his igbo enemies ie ojukwu despite heavy bombardments and chaos was producing some of his weapons. Note - he had lost the oil wells o. Biafra was attempting to build its weapons even at the end of the war the scientists were still alive (pockets of them), nigeria chose to jail them or drive them away. Ofcourse the US picked bulk of them. Useless gowon with his subsidy policies.
