Isn't it laughable that the only time you crawl out to display your inborn ignorance, is only when the topic is about NDIGBO & PROPHET OJUKWU (PEACE BE UPON HIM) but you try too hard just like your Gowon & co to avoid facing your inner problem and calling it what it is? emmke: nah, man. We do not run. We do not need to. We fight, we always will. And one thing is for sure, we gonna ensure we leave a peaceful plateau for our children. Funny u are sarcastically giving boko boys a thumbs up. Me thinks boko boys have killed more igbos than any other group in the country. Well, i might be wrong. |

This is just a question: Was it not this same Gowon that gracefully declared "no victor, no vanquished" for a war it had to fight after a part of the country seceeded and doesn't anyone give him any graces for that? Would you prefer if he had taken a different position after winning a clear, decisive victory? Let's get hour objective thoughts people. |

Katsumoto: Dede1 You are very funny. If display of ignorance in a public place is your form of schooling, you have a question to answer. The moronic poster does not even know the constituted authority during Ironsi’s regime. Anybody who has watched Ojukwu’s comments very carefully will underscore the fact the Adebayo’s name rarely comes up. This is because Adebayo was not legally appointed military governor of western region after death of Ironsi and Fajuyi. It is against any known military parlance that a mere Lt Col and relatively junior to Col will appoint the later to an office. |

Alusi Okija: Gowon!! As much as most of what he said were lies, the one truth in that entire statement remains; It is very unfortunate your position is based on absolute ignorance. In the military, the soldiers wear trust as they wore their uniform. Gowon lied through his teeth that he knew nothing about July 29, 1966 coup that eliminated his boss who threw him some bones. Yet Gowon and his colleagues who precipitated the coup found it very difficult to uphold the principles of Esprit De Corp. Ojukwu’s decision remains that the July 29, 1966 coup was unsuccessful as in the case of January 15, 1966 coup because the east and mid-west regions were not under the control of coup plotters. Ojukwu insisted that military chain of command had to be maintained even if the head of state and commander in chief has been alleged missing. Gowon’s actions after death of Ironsi were illegal and qualified for court martial. There was a chief of staff to supreme military headquarter in the person of Brigadier Olufami Ogundipe who was also superior officer to Gowon both in rank and enlistment, yet Gowon sheepishly followed the lawbreakers from the pool of soldiers from northern region to usurp the authority of head of sate and commander in chief. Ojukwu was never a coward and ninnies such as Gowon can never scared him. What stopped Gowon from observing the military code of conduct which he sworn to abide? The unprecedented corruption and lawlessness found in Nigeria are rooted in the actions of Gowon and soldiers from northern region of Nigeria in 1966. These crops of soldiers propagated everything that is wrong with Nigeria today. 2 Likes |

its is high time easterners should know that most people effected by Jos crises and the boko haram menace are Igbos. even the Church bombings are mostly targeted on them. so if you people are happy about these, remember that most of your brothers toil since after the Biafran war are now been destroying by bk. Gowon is a man of God, please leave him alone. |

Dede1: Gowon is bloody liar and the center point of what Nigeria has become lately. Nigeria/Biafra debacle was a needless war if Gowon has accepted Ojukwu’s stance on Esprit de Corp and adherence to the strict military parlance which demand Brig Ogundipe should become the commander in chief in the absence of head of the state. first of all nigeria should never have been brought under military dictatorship. people who organise coup choose who they want to lead them. they dont follow heirachy or anything stupid like that. so the soldiers who organised the coup have the right to choose who they want. 1 Like |

Dede1: u are a bleeping dummy. Nigeria started as a democracy , what happened to our democracy from which region did the officers that lead the first coup and murdered our prime minister and regional premiers and finance ministers and senior officers from other regions come from ? what was their ethnicity. so if u want to talk of corruption and lawlessness start with the actions of your people the igbo officers. stop spewing ur revisionist crap. |
Re: Ojukwu Would Have Ruled Nigeria —Gowon by Dede1(m): 4:58pm On May 09, 2012 |
oduasolja: Of course, coup plotters usually chose among themselves who will lead. The fact remains Gowon had lied through his teeth that he was not a member of the coup plotters yet the evidence proves otherwise, olodo. Act of precipitating coup is never legal and honorable act among discipline soldiers. Ojukwu opposed Gowon because Gowon and his clique of undisciplined soldiers from northern region were illegal. |
Re: Ojukwu Would Have Ruled Nigeria —Gowon by Dede1(m): 5:04pm On May 09, 2012 |

@jamisco, so fulani and hausa herdsmen are attacking igbo villages in the plateau? Or boko haram have killed more igboes than their own ppl? Define man of god? The middle belt support for the core north during the biafran war is the seed of their problems today as well as the seed of the constant attacks on yorubas from the muslim north, plain and simple. Igbos are not rejoicing over it but just stating the obvious truth. I believe any northern christian that supported the nigerian side during the war laid the very foundation of their modern predicament. The christian middle belt was expected to be willing slaves to the muslim ruling class and by fighting against the igbos, they accepted that role. Therefore what is happening in the middle belt today is because the middle belt have started refusing to play that roles and their masters are hell bent on maintaining their hold on them. Honestly, Gowon should stop making silly statements like this, especially now that ojukwu is dead.what do he stand to gain from all this provocative statements? If he wants to tender an apology for the war,state creation, boundary adjustments etc, he should openly say so and fight to undo his wrongs. All his statements in recent times sounds like a man in regret and mental agony. Ojukwu would not issue such statements against any body especially dead ppl. The biafran players have told their story and wrote books that no body have come out to contest it's intellectual honesty. Why did he fail to tell his 42yrs after the war? Considering the recentness of Ojukwu death, the fact that Gowon did not attend his funeral prompting questions from visiting african heads of state and the charged political atmosphere in the country now, Gowon statement is in bad taste and should be condemned in it's entirety. 1 Like |

The mediocrity and insincerity of Gen. Gowon and his northern brothers is the major cause of the nation's problem. Gen. Buhari truncated a democratic government in 1983 and therefore cannot call himself a democrat. Gen. Danjuma has just realize that nigerians are poor after making so much money from his contacts in government. Perhaps old age is now telling on him. Nigerians have never benefitted from good leadership. A SNC is not a bad idea. |

Kanto: i was glued to the last paragraphs of your post but the first made me puke, do you know that history is repeating itself again? because ojukwu felt his ambition is superior to all and sundry that has accepted Gowon as president, he reneged, even when his intransigence is pushing the whole nation to mass division along ethnic lines, he cared less. when his ambition degenerated to an arms struggle, he still didn't care because of what? that same ambition, intransigence and love for power consumed over 2million lives in estimate yet, he didn't find the dignity of surrendering before Gen effiong came to our rescue, that is the height of insensitivity especially in a struggle that was clearly obvious he will lose. let me ask you, do you think ojukwu will be asking for regional autonomy and confederation if he wasn't the Gov in the east? 12 states were created obviously he knows he might not be the Gov, to stay in power, he started pushing for regional autonomy to retain his domain of Governance. Ojukwu an oxford historian is educated enough to realize that his Aburi demands was an act of war liken it to our present Nigeria, Jonathan was selected to be the vice of yaradua under the same PDP quoter system, he didn't complain, he didn't refuse either, even when the whole, country would have been better off with donald duke. ok, Yaradua dies, he completes his tenure and refuses the same PDP zoning that produced him to be applied simply because he was power hungry, that ambition alone and the retaliation of the north has cost this great nation over a thousand lives and counting, infrastructures worth billions are destroyed on daily basis because of the ambition of one man. it didn't end there, the insensitivity,greed and power hunger of this same man is pushing him to come back in 2015, even when the country cut him a slack of a tenure and voted en masse for him, what a political jobber!! obviously, the lives of Nigerians and biafrans meant nothing to Jonathan and ojukwu, what a shame!! these are the Ninc0mp00ps you refer to as heroes, leaders etc. shame on you, these men, are nothing but !d!ots in my books 2 Likes |

Up till this instance, you still haven't responded to my request for your proof but here you are "professor", calling someone else a LIAR because you have information that buttress your claim.
