Lol. I think so. Infact am beginnin to think one of the mods is a relative or something similar

What kind of man is Nnamdi Kanu to take on a whole federal government ?
I think we know the answer to that, from your own statements.

He is obviously, according to you, the kind of man whose towering courage you can never measure up to.

What is a nation without men of courage ?

I would like to remind folks that his loud courage is more about the injustice, the lopsidedness, the unworkability of our Federal arrangement.

It brings attention to the need to self-reflect on our 55 years of Nationhood, a failed project.

If we don't hammer out a sincere federal structure, Nigeria's development Will always be imperilled by cries Of marginalization, agitationd and ethnic tensions.

So, my friend, Nnamdi Kanu, no matter how vociferous or obnoxious he sounds, is doing every Nigerian a favor, by doing something that we had all forgotten how to do,
.. Standing up and speaking truth to power.

how is Nnamdi Kanu doing every Nigeria a favour? A man that is seeking to buy arms and weapons to create an uprising in a region or state is a capital offense in any country in the world. He is not speaking any truth and All he speak is hatred for Hausa, yoruba and other non Igbo tribes in Nigeria.
I don't agree with you that there is anything wrong with our federal system because our system of government is almost identical to that of US, France and some advanced countries.
Even when we were operating a regional government in the 60s it caused a lot of problems which lead to the civil war. Nigeria problem has always been a leadership problem because the average Nigeria don't hold their leaders accountable.

Don't get me wrong.
I am not cheering for his methods or his personal philosophy.

I can see two men eating, one is A man of his word and the other is a slave, a puppet, a coward who couldn't even speak for himself.

Man of his words that fled after failing that his deputy had to surrender. Real heroes fight till the point of death. Does the name Mandella ring a bell? That is a real hero not an opportunist.

Nnamdi now knows the importance of freedom. He was so free in London that he had to set up a radio to run his mouth. How can a single individual intend to take on a whole federal government? What kept him alive till this stage is the so called democracy we are practising. A military leader would have ordered his death by firing squad. Useless man that chose to waste his life in exchange for fraudulent fame. Even his closest allies have abandoned him uchemefor the deputy dilector and his pregnant wife remained in London while Kanu suffer alone. By the time the authorities are through with him, he will sing the national pledge like a parrot.

lol.. too funny!

Lemme explain to those who don't know.
Accord was signed during the tension that was before the war.
It was agreed that Nigeria should run a confederal system of govt and the central(gowon) shld be weak. Just like tanzayaki and Zanzibar (Now Tanzania) and Senegal, Swaziland and Gambia (defunct senegambia) . Gowon agreed to the accord but on getting to Nigeria where he narrated the content to Awo(special adviser and minister of finance) who now advised him now to honor the accord and gowon accepted Awo's advices (reason why igbos hate Awo).
It was after then Naira and kobo, right and drive was changed to left hand, 12states was created just to weaken ojukwu's secession's plan. But it angered him and war broke out.

Please where can get this history to read more about it?

Your write up is half baked and in some instances, outright falsehood. An example is the change of currency which was done on 1st Jan 1973..after the war. The Aburi Accord which you refer to has the following resolution

"Members agree that the
legislative and executive authority
of the Federal Military Government
should remain in the Supreme
Military Council, to which any
decision affecting the whole country
shall be referred for determination
provided that where it is possible
for a meeting to be held the matter
requiring determination must be
referred to military governors for
their comment and concurrence.
Specifically, the council agreed
that appointments to senior ranks
in the police, diplomatic, and
consular services as well as
appointment to superscale posts in
the federal civil service and the
equivalent posts in the statutory
corporation must be approved by
the Supreme Military Council.
The regional members felt that all
the decrees passed since January 15,
1966, and which detracted from
previous powers and positions of
regional governments, should be
repealed if mutual confidence is to
be restored. [4]"

REASON FOR BREAKDOWN



In response to the accord, the federal government
promulgated Decree No. 8, which was mainly an
embodiment of the accord. The accord finally broke
down because of differences of interpretation on both
sides. This led to the outbreak of Nigerian Civil War.

Gowon will forever a betrayer in the eyes of many and also a hero for some.... I have no single respect for him in the life time and in the next life to come!!!!

Wetin Gowon do u?

plaetton:


Interesting indeed.

But what could have been in the accord that horrified the northern elites

For Nigeria to operate a true Federal system or confederation ?
What did they, or anyone for that matter, stand to lose?

I wonder how many Nigerians remember that it was Gowon, as young head of state, in his sincerity, went on air, to say the following state " There is no basis for a united Nigeria ".
Later, his advisers prevailed on him to retract that statement.
It is a matter public record.

I wish I could interview Gowon today and ask him to tell the nation, in sincerity, what made say those things way back in 1967 , even before the civil war.

Well, the North had come to fancy the unitary system introduced by Gen. Ironsi. Meant to pacify the North and strengthen " national unity", but was obviously in vain as he was killed.

The central govt would have lost to much power to the states/regions. The North are still in opposition to true federalism till now. Primarily because of oil money. People don't give up power easily.

It was also an opportunity to follow Sardauna, Ahmadu Bello's philosophy "to never let the Southerners be in charge of their own destiny, and to consider Nigeria as a property of our great grandfather Uthman dan Fodio". True federalism is diametrically opposed to such.

The North are majorly conservative in politics. Hence it's very funny for GMB to be head of a so-called progressive amalgam of parties.

Who did Gowon betray?

biafran e warriors will not like this pinshure oooo

Because you don't know your history.... They were no friends but fulfilling the obligation of aburi accord.... Ojukwu kept his part the bargain.... Did the other kept his?... No.. The poor state of the history lesson in Nigeria made people like you believe the Biafra are the bad guys..... If aburi accord were respected .... There would have been an equal Nigeria....

YOU ARE RIGHT,BUT ALL YOU DID WAS TO ANALYSE THE EVENT HALF WAY.GOWON HAD NO CLEAR UNDERSTANDING ABOUT THE TRAP OJUKWU HAD SET FOR HIM VIA THE ABURE ACCORD.IT WASN'T UNTIL AWOLOWO A LAWYER INTERPRETED THE IMPLICATION OF THE DOCUMENT THAT THEY KNEW.

You will call him a betrayer because he's patriotic, he loves his country Nigeria
While you expect him to give you Biafra hahahahah

Same fate will happen with Nnamdi Kalu, when Buhari finishes with him Kalu will sing the Nigeria national anthem by force hahahah

In Nigeria, kids joke with everything.... One day you will realize that it is for the best interest of every body that we separate.... #Iraniscoming

The war was avoidable. Ojukwu shouldn't have allowed his ambition to overrule his sense. Declaring a unilateral republic without the consent of ethnic nationalities was a shame.

Johniyke2flex:
Unfurtunately, one side didn't see the need to honour the pact reached in Aburi. This is one history that the powers that be have tried so much to erase. But we are not fools, we have it registered in our minds!

Great injustice was meted out to our fathers, our mothers, our uncles, our aunts, our relations, just because the other side of the divide knew no one would hold them accountable.

Now we have a Gowon who is seen as a National hero and an Ojukwu who is seen as the villian just because of the grand conspiracy by these powers that be to cover up the truth. Now the youths are the fools for it.

Well said my brother....98% of Nigerian youths don't know about this history.... They won our conscience and killed every valid history .... The romance of the north with the west really have destroyed this nation.. even most till this moment does not know what transpired between achebe and soyinka and the literature award..... #inaburiistand

HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT AWOLOWO SCREWED THINGS UP,HE ONLY HELP GOWON TO INTERPRETE THE ACCORD AND ALSO TO TELL WHAT ITS LIKELY IMPLICATIONS ARE.OJUKWU PLAYED ON GOWONS INTELLIGENCE AND THANK GOD PEOPLE LIKE AWO WERE AROUND TO SHOW THIS SCAM.OJUKWU WAS A SELFISH AND OVER AMBITIOUS PERSON AS WERE ALL IGBO OFFICERS AT THAT TIME.THEY WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR DERAILING THE NATION TO WHERE IT IS TODAY VIA THE COUP AND THE CIVIL WAR.

Is it not the Person Who started a Civil war because he wants to Rule the betrayal? People's lives is greater than one person's Ambition.

Go and get your history bro.... It baffles me how our youths are so uninformed.... Ask questions when you don't know the actual fact..... If the pact was kept .... Ojukwu who would have been the richest man in Africa going forward would not have lost all his wealth in the war.....
