Former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, has dismissed threat of Nigeria’s unity as he also said that with Biafra it is finished and


General Yakubu Gowon made this statement recently in reaction to the resent protests by some youths.

He said that Nigerians have put behind them the bad memories of the 1967 civil war, and that those behind these protests on Biafra don’t have an inkling what the Biafra war cost Nigerians.

The elder statesman speaking in Lafia, the Nasarwa State capital shortly after a malaria eradication campaign questioned that ‘do they want us to go to another war? but hoped and I prayed to God that such should not happen.’



He went further to say that those involved in this campaign were being driven by just a few people and that majority of the Igbo people do not share the same view.

‘It is only them, the few, that are there but the majority of the Igbo people that I know are not with them’

Acceding to the fact that the protesters have the right to express their feelings he stated “with Biafra it is finished”.

He said these people ‘let them say their views, yes it democracy but let s make sure they can express their wishes and desires but let them remember with Biafra it is finished. it is not a threat’

He further said that keeping Nigeria one was behind all that he did and not for hatred for the Igbo as that was what Odumegwu Ojukwu also stood for.

All I did is not a result of hatred against the Igbos but on the principle of keeping Nigeria one and this is all we are trying to do and that was why at the end of the war in other to see that there is no heard feeling we used the term no victor no vanquished

I have said if there is anything of this sort anywhere in any part of the country just like the problem of Boko Haram we should deal with it, Nigeria should deal with it in matured way .

He said these people ‘let them say their views, yes it democracy but let s make sure they can express their wishes and desires but let them remember with Biafra it is finished. it is not a threat’

No comment, just here to laugh at hollow threats, tantrums & name calling.....

I no understand dis man, someone explain pls.

with Biafra it is finished. Meaning?

No! Niger delta oil was behind all you did. Only God will judge us all.

Meaning he will die soon..

With Biafra, Nigeria is finished. Is that what he mean?

The only way Biafra is achievable is:

1. All Igbo leaders of note to support it and lend their voice through all main Igbo leadership grp such as Ohaneze Ndigbo and the rest.

2. Recall all Igbo reps and senators from NASS

3. Recall all Ibos from across Nigeria to the SE region.

4. Do a referendum on whether to secede or not.

5. Present the result (hopefully positively disposed to secession) to Nigeria and UN.

Before long, Nigeria will have no choice than to allow Biafra be. It can NEVER be achieved through the senseless campaign of hate and treason against the nation.

I personally like the Igbos to have their country. Hausas and Fulanis have their country. And Yorubas have their own seperate country. But this approach of Kanu is very childish, barbaric, crude and potentially destructive at best. NOTHING will come out of it.

. You folks talk about the oil as if it's just the well water at your backward. Who discovered oil in commercial quantities? The Nigerian state, who invested in the Nigerian Oil Corporation with other JV partners towards ensuring the sale of crude oil in exchange for national revenue. Please all this rubbish must stop.

Na who send them... We all know the only thing keeping this forced union called Nigeria is the oil
I have sampled opinion from a cross section of people from the SS and the SE and about 70% want out while the other 30% are indifferent or afraid to speak their mind for fear of intimidation.

Nobody has really given any concrete reason why Nigeria should remain together.

We are not one!

Ticket to enter tribal war show.
