I Pray Nigeria Doesn’t Fight Another Civil War – Gen. Gowon by OnyeOGA(m): 10:21pm On Apr 28, 2018
Former Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon has said he prays Nigeria does not go through another Civil War.
The former Head of State expressed regret over the numerous problems facing the country in recent times, especially the widespread security challenges and killings which he described as worrisome.
Gowon, who attended a special prayer summit in Yenagoa, said that he had prayed and hoped at the end of the Nigerian Civil War that the country would not go through that path again.
He spoke with journalists shortly after the special church service in Yenagoa on Sunday.
Gowon, Chairman and convener of Nigeria Prays, said the activities of militant groups, the Boko Haram and the killings perpetrated by the ‘so called Fulani herdsmen’ were of serious concern to the leaders, elders and indeed, the citizens.
He explained that the country’s leaders were having sleepless nights over the acts of brutality and wickedness across the country.
Gowon called on Nigerians to give the requisite support to those in leadership positions in the bid to address the security challenges in the country.
“This is worrisome. When I recall the end of the civil war, I had hoped and prayed that Nigeria would never go through the same experience again.
“This was what I prayed for and you can see how worrying it is.
“All these spate of crises: Is it the militants, is it the Boko Haram, is it the so called Fulani herdsmen?
“All sorts of things that are happening. Man’s inhumanity to man, that is happening through out the length and breath of Nigeria.
“Sadly, it is worrying to all Nigerians, and this is what all of us who are in leadership positions, your governor, and his assistants, as well as all the governors throughout the country.
“All of us who are leaders are concerned about it, and always aim for whatever we can do to put it under control.
“But it is not only the leaders that can do it. They need the press and support of the people so that they can deal with the problem together.
“And this is our prayer; prayer for the everyone in Nigeria and all Nigerians wherever they are. We hope for greater peace than what we have for now,” Gowon said.

Its obvious that buhari through his body language wants Nigeria to fight another civil war. A president who handed over all the security apparatus to one section of the country definitely has something he wants to achieve. Buhari has an ulterior motive but I can assure you that he will not succeed as the Almighty will give him the abacha treatment.

Dog. What have we gained since you fought to keep dis experiment as one. If this stupid country was divided then,we would have been far ahead what we have today leaving north behind.

Mumu, How do you think a country built on blood will seize asking for blood.

Gowon should shut up

He caused the civil war by refusing to keep to the agreement he signed in Ghana with Ojukwu

Now he is concerned about civil war? What a misfit

Gowon sir, the war will be fought between your people and your Fulani masters, we go sit down for our corner they look. By the time the Tiv nation and Fulanis are through killing themselves, everyone will disintegrate peacefully.
