And he waited For Ojukwu to die before saying this? You returned from Aburi and became sick to the extent you couldn't make a statement to a nation in tumult, isn't that the biggest lie and shows your level of irresponsibility?
just leave the craz man

Nobody should ask why Nigeria is still in bad shape since independence. The leaders we had till now are selfish and liars. If Gowon can say all these things then we the youth are in a big mess. Guys it is hopeless. Find your way out of Nigeria and the rest is history.

Mr Gowon, what do you have in mind by tell us this story?
You waited all this while, that Ojukwu lived only to tell us now . should we wake Ojukwu from the grave to defend himself or are deliberately instigating another war?
If people for whatever reason considered you as, an elder statesman, please talk and act like one.

The bolded said it all,The FG was not only unprepared but also very incompetent and was outsmarted by brilliant Oxford graduate in the person of Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu at Aburi.They came back from Ghana and reneged on the accord signed in Aburi and resorted to guns and bullets.
Gen.Gowon,God does not answer the prayer of the wicked and the reason why Nigeria is at this state of stagnancy.


The bolded said it all. Ever wondered why Biafra called on Chukwu Okike Abiama and prayed, but God almighty gave victory to NIGERIA and biafra lost? Ever wondered why in Nigerian history, Ojukwu started a war boasted and ran away and returned after pardon from Shagari meanwhile another Igbo man, that never supported the war and Ojukwu's lies is on Nigeria's currency and has the airport at the Country's capital named after him... That is your history my friend.

Gowon signed the document headlong without considering the implications. He returned home only to be told that what he signed cannot favour the people of the north. They were congruous in their decision to adopt that Aburi accord, but Gowon reneged on that promise.
This singular act will forever hunt Gowon. His days may be long because sentencing an evil one takes a long time. It is now left for him to repent and do the needful.
He should be ashame that his nescience of events in Aburi caused a
civil war that reached a vitriolic level, killing over three million nationwide.
He is suppose to be issuing a mea culpa now. The dauntless late Ojukwu will be forever be remembered no matter the lies Gowon tells.
Gowon should know that he and the core northerners were allies in that war, but since their friendship has turned to mistrust when that war ended.

These old men should at least start speaking the truth now. They were unprepared and they tried pacifying ojukwu and therefore agreed to a lot of things and later realized, they have relinquished too much power to the regional governors.

THEN northern soldiers absolutely and totally were involved in the killing of southerners, though they hesitated initially but governor katsina unleashed the soldiers and restrained their commanding officer shuwa from stopping the soldiers

They have not stop lying. They claimed to be Christian regional part of the nation, but they live their life in lying both olds and youngs , with what I am seeing today I believe Ojukwu must have lied. If you listen to radio Biafra you will know what I am saying. Kanu and his Co - presenters just formulate lying which if care is not taken by this administration, another war would have exumed.

He was sick at the time of his return indeed.
somebody should tell this old man that it was his cowardice that lead to the civil war.

He knew it was a matter of national security and couldn't let any of this deputies make the announcement when he was supposedly ill?

It would have been better if he had kept his mouth shot.

We are not fools

Bros, you know the #1 problem for naija? People say things they dont know, and that beats me, GOOGLE and YAHOO is your friend.

Gates, who dropped out of Harvard and co-founded Microsoft Corp. to become the world’s richest person, stopped off at his former stomping grounds to collect an honorary law degree.

“We recognize the most illustrious member of the Harvard College class of 1977 never to have graduated from Harvard,” said Harvard University Provost Steven Hyman. “It seems high time that his alma mater hand over the diploma.”


Dangote's uncle was a business man, his father was poor. Mark dropped out of harvard, again use google.... MKO became a richman selling firewood then he sent himself to school. It depends on what "SUccess" is to you? If it means $$, so many Onitsha market traders and farmers in the North are Billionaires and they cant even speak english.

No be today e start, we have been having leaders unprepared for leadership and we expect to make progress as a country embarassed
