When Will Gowon Organise Another 'Nigeria Pray'? by olaolabiy: 7:46pm On Dec 10, 2010
Just read this from Wikileaks:

"In an earlier meeting on 2 April between two Pfizer lawyers, Joe Petrosinelli and Atiba Adams, Liggeri, the US ambassador and the economic section, it had been suggested that Pfizer owed the favourable outcome of the federal cases to former Nigerian head of state Yakubu Gowon.

He had interceded on Pfizer's behalf with the Kano state governor, Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau – who directed that the state's settlement demand should be reduced from $150m to $75m – and with the Nigerian president. "Adams reported that Gowon met with President Yar'Adua and convinced him to drop the two federal high court cases against Pfizer," the cable says".

This is the problem with Nigerians. They look to God to solve all of their problems. But they are in for a rude awakening. God helps those who can help themselves. When you take matters into your own hands, then ask for God's help to hold steady your hand. Do not expect something to fall from the sky.

@Poster, are you suggesting Gowon did wrong in helping negotiate the settlement, or that the move to settle for a lower number than the state was asking for never happens at all?
Re: When Will Gowon Organise Another 'Nigeria Pray'? by semid4lyfe(m): 7:21am On Dec 11, 2010
Gowon is a hypocrite!

He's the same man who couldn't call for Yaradua resignation when he was clearly unfit to rule but was calling on Nigerians to pray for Yaradua.

YES, I prayed o. . .for his DEATH!

What are you talking about? Children died as a result of this mal-administered drug. Yet, our 'born again' Gowon was busy negotiating extra-judicial settlement (bribe).

Why pray for Nigeria then when you are enmassed in corrruption as well? Food for thought.
Abeg, Kobo, don't justify this.

Many kids died as a result of Pfizer's action. Gowon, allegedly, used his personal relationships with Yaradua and the governor to negotiate smaller payments by Pfizer to the victims through the state. A few things wrong with that

1. The victims would receive a smaller payment
2. What did Gowon stand to achieve by his action? Did he do it out of the kindness of his heart?

Was he acting in the best interests of Pfizer, an American company or his fellow citizens?

Gowon did it because of his political and business interests. This is what I have always said: the beautYful ones are not yet born.

This is the same Gowon that some people on NL laud as a performer when he's in power in the '70s.

It' s a cult-like group and none of these leaders is above board. Gowon speaks from both sides of his rotten mouth.

Why organise 'Nigeria Pray' when you have your hands profoundly soiled?

This twit will soon organise another one.
