Rest in peace

What should I say?
He never saw a better Nigeria.
When you have the chance to make a change make a positive change.

He came empty and of course he is going back empty. It is appointed onto man once after death judgement.

Let his judgment begin! The heavens are listening.

RIP

I met him at ABUAD

Judgement await.....

Well I might disagree with you on the previous assertion, but will definably agree with you the later (it is appointed to onto man...).
He was gentleman. Had great lofty plans. He wanted a united Nigeria cos he himself came from a minority ethnic group and knew what it felt like to be shortcharged...sadly the cracks were already on the wall, Nigeria was changing.

Yakubu Gowon is greater than 10 million Ojukwu.

Edumare bless him abundantly.

The grave is so filled up with men who had great lofty plans.

You can disagree it's normal.

This Man made Igbos who they are today and also gave us a voice in Nigeria. We Igbos will be forever grateful to him and his posterity

I expect our SE leaders to declare a 3 days state of mourning all round the 5 Eastern states and a Public holiday be also declared to honour this good man.

I also remember how out of the abundance of his tender kindness he gave us £20 each which is like 25k in today's exchange after the war. a very good man. It's sad how good people die so quick.

Wow may his soul rest in perfect peace.

The man who betrayed the Aburi Accord! I hope he'll discuss with Ojukwu now that they are in the same realm.

Traitors

May his soul rest in perfect peace..

Those who governed the affairs of Nigeria at their prime.....

No credible platform has carried this news.

He was a bad leader

Those you implore God to take live longer but those you love leave early...Gowon has done his part if he did the right thing he will be rewarded and if it's the other way round he shall account for his crimes Rest in perfect peace YAKUBU.

Traitors

Well on the Aburi Accord, he was advised to repudiate the Accord on the grounds of national interest based on the advice of some powerful persons, Chief Awolowo inclusive. This was based on the argument based on Ojukwu's stance that should the East pull out from the Federation, forming a loose confederal structure permitting only monetary links, the West will follow suit...that will would have led to a divided federation.

RIP to the Dead .

Nothing last forever.
Be careful of the things you do in this worlds while alive.

On this thread?

Yakubu Gowon fought for Nigeria and died as a Nigerian.

That other man fought for Biafra and died as a confused man.

He made kwashokor of his own people because of his foolish, selfishness.

omonighoblessing:
He was a bad leader

How pls?

Sad.

He was a very good man.
RIP Sir.

Jack says he is alive.

Rest in peace

If indeed through, RIP

Go On With One Nigeria. Name that equal destiny!!!

Whalis:
May his soul rest in peace. It is quite unfortunate Nigeria he fought for to keep united happened to be one he regretted Fighting for her unity.

Exactly
