What an aberration, here is a man supposed to be playing the same role Gen Gowon is playing now advising the rulers and giving tips on how Nigeria would move forward and void pitfals now here advicing Bubu. I dont just get it at all. Who can advice a man who needs no advice, he knows everything as usual his first response to any question is when were there 30 years ago....blablabla.

So bleeping what have we got to do with the modafcking generation of looters and thieves that have raped the nation dry and still wants the country tax payers to cater for their old age. Too bad indeed.

The scammer with Nairaland name as dareylink and phone number 08141629384 has done his evils again. He scammed me, my hard earned (PENSION) money through airtime credit and refused to send me DATA as advertised on Nairaland.

l searched his number on NL and got more than what l bargained for. He has been on that trade for long. Sad enough l learnt about him after l became a victim. It won't be well with him by God's grace. He will regret his deeds one day, either here or hereafter.


@ topic
Two heads are better than one. Let them put that together and get the country out of the crises.

In the history of Nigeria, these are probably two of the best leaders we have had (not to say that we've had many good leaders and not that Buhari is the most visionary) but look to IBB Abacha etc for people who really destroyed this country

Gowon was the epitome of incompetence, corruption and embezzlement all rolled into one.

Gowon squandered all the profits Nigeria made from
the crude oil boom of the 70's and left no tangible savings or infrastructural investment commensurate with the profits Nigeria made.

He was also a power hungry dictator who refused to hand over to civilian regime and had to be booted out.

Buhari committed treason when he conspired with his group of sociopaths to destroy our nascent democracy, he was also an incompetent autocratic ruler with no respect for rule of law.

He equally served in Abacha's government. A self acclaimed incorruptible one that rolled and dined with the most corrupt ruler in Nigerian history. Buhari is also a liar who lied to protect the interests of the Abacha family when he insisted that Abacha never stole.

Gowon and Buhari are true reflections of what Nigeria represents today, ie failure and incompetence. It is true that a country is a true reflection of its leaders and the leaders a true reflection of its people.

We always end up with these kind of leaders, because the subject history is not properly taught in schools.

GOWON may become a Flagbearer soon.

After which Shehu Shagari will take over

civil war criminals

The President seems to have a lot of respect for previous Heads if State.

Your handle says it all, no point in arguing with you. But for the sake of the others who are interested in facts not indoctrination and tribal sentiment, for all their failings, The period of Gowon, to Obasanjp(military) to Shagari were the best periods in the history of this country. There was meritocracy, competence in govt and the civil service, we had national development plans (1st, 2nd and 3rd) and contrary to the view of the above poster, most of the good infrastructure, Universities, schools,roads hospitals etc that exist today (even though they are now falling apart from lack of maintenance by the govts that followed) were built during the Era of Gowon to Shagari, 1966-83. I never said they were perfect but compared to successive govts from 1985 onward (bar none) they were like Saints and Genuises.


You only have look at a University built 1966-1983 and compare to a University built post 1983, look at a road built 1966-1983 and compare the quality. Look at a federal govt building built 1966-1983 and compare to the ones built since 1983.

I have plenty of time for Gowon.

gowon nuked the status quo of resource control/ true federalism..

Now we are all in this mess called nigeria where everybody wants to die on top of the oil in the Niger delta..because of the likes of gowon we run a mono economy..and to know he was apologizing to the niger delta recently makes me mad..

Let's not be surprised that gowon comes back to rule nigeria again..

Lol! An Afonja to the rescue of his Northern masters?

The Gowon regime came under fire because of widespread and obvious corruption at every level of national life. Graft, bribery, and nepotism were an integral part of a complex system of patronage and "gift" giving through which influence and authority were asserted. Although the military had pledged to rid the government of corruption, the public became increasingly aware of abuses, primarily because of daily exposés in the press. In 1973 the federal government established a special anticorruption police force--the "X-Squad"--whose subsequent investigations revealed ingenious forms of extortion and fraud-- not only in government and public corporations but in private business and in the professions as well.

A major scandal that had international implications and reached the highest levels of government and the business community took place in the mid-1970s; it involved the purchase abroad of construction materials by state agents at prices well above market values. Rake-offs were pocketed by public officials and private contractors. Other scandals in hospitals and orphanages shocked the populace, while corruption in importing medical drugs whose effective dates long since had expired revealed that even the health of Nigerians was at risk.

Inefficiencies compounded the impact of corruption. In mid1975 , 400 cargo ships--250 of them carrying 1.5 million tons of cement--clogged the harbor of Lagos, which had been paralyzed for fifteen months with vessels waiting to be unloaded. To compound the error, spoiled and inferior-grade cement was concealed by mixing it with acceptable material for use in public building projects. Later, buildings collapsed or had to be dismantled because of the inferior product. New roads washed away because of bad construction and inadequate controls. In these scandals, as in others, the culprits were a combination of Nigerian businessmen, government officials, and foreign companies. Few people and few projects seemed exempt from the scourge.

Crime posed a threat to internal security and had a seriously negative impact on efforts to bring about economic development. Armed gangs, often composed of former soldiers, roamed the countryside engaging in robbery, extortion, and kidnapping. The gangs sometimes operated with the connivance of the police or included moonlighting soldiers. Pirates raided cargo ships awaiting entry to ports or unloaded them at the piers ahead of the stevedores. Drug trafficking and smuggling were prevalent. Punishment was meted out to large batches of convicted and suspected criminals, who were dispatched by firing squads in public executions meant to impress spectators with the seriousness of the offenses and with the government's concern to curb crime. These measures had no noticeable effect on the crime rate, however, but seemed rather to provoke a callous public attitude toward violence.

In January 1975, Gowon revamped the membership of the Federal Executive Council, increasing the number of military ministers. He depended more and more on a small group of advisers and became increasingly inaccessible to his military colleagues. Without broad consultation, he backed off from the 1976 date set for a return to civilian rule, explaining that to adhere rigidly to it would "amount to a betrayal of a trust" and "certainly throw the nation back into confusion." Public employees staged protest strikes in May and June that brought essential services to a standstill. The government responded by granting retroactive wage increases that averaged 30 percent, which fed inflation and led to industrial strikes as union members demanded parallel raises.

The political atmosphere deteriorated to the point that Gowon was deposed in a bloodless coup d'état July 29, 1975--the ninth anniversary of the revolt that had brought him to power. At the time, Gowon was at an OAU summit meeting in Kampala, Uganda. The perpetrators of the coup included many of the officers who had participated in the July 1966 coup. Even the officers responsible for Gowon's security were involved. Gowon pledged his full loyalty to the new regime and left for exile in Britain, where he received a pension from the Nigerian government.

Really? They are the best Nigeria has had? Chei! Nigerians have a waybof expecting the best from mediocrity. Both these men are:

War Criminals

Military dictators

Ran corrupt regimes

Guilty of vast human right abuse

Killed many people to up hold the fraudulent creation of the British called Nigeria just to acquire Oil wealth for their fellow Northerners

Destroyed democracy and enthroned the fraudulent unitary regime

Cared only about keeping the Northern oligarchy in control of Nigeria.


Its just that Nigeria is the backward country it is, otherwise, both these men should have gone to jail for their many crimes against humanity

Old soldier never die
