He should do the world a favor and drop dead

He is 84yrs old today, pray u get to 42yrs, i doubt with ur mindset u would ever get to 42yrs, pls prayer harder! He is d greatest of all. Deal with it! At such youthful years he ruled this troubled country for good 9yrs. He saw it all, he made his peace with his God, u are d only person with bitter heart now.

Hellfire awaits him for the murder of 2 million Igbos

Don't let google deceive you, it's 3.5 million deaths after the war. I have watched the video,

3.5 million was the conclusion but it was more than that

Yakubu Gowon, the only man I know who's in his 80s but still doesn't use medicated glasses.

The writer and philosopher - George Santayana, once said that; "Those who cannot remember their past are condemned to repeat it."

It is clear that too many Nigerians are completely ignorant of their own history. This is primarily why things continue to be the way they are today. Nigerians worship and praise the wrong people while they condemn and persecute the few good and noble people.

Gowon's era paved the way for downfall of Nigeria. It essentially spelled the beginning of the end for the "Lord Lugard" British-led experiment known as Nigeria which began in 1914. And things have never been quite the same ever since then. In fact, things have gotten regressive and way much worse over the decades.

The fact is that Nigeria still had a chance to progress when Gowon came to power but due to lack of vision, good governance and a lack of proper direction, it regressed. And thereafter, under consistently poor, incompetent, dishonest (military and civilian leadership) gross corruption and moral decay took over and the country kept on tumbling and totally took the opposite direction, becoming what we have today - an under-achieving, completely mediocre, law-breaking, corrupt, poverty-stricken, no-conscience, spiritually-lame, morally-bankrupt, money-worshiping low-productivity poor nation where 98% of the country's wealth is lying in the hands of a mostly-corrupt 2% of the population. Senators make millions that they do not deserve. Governors make undeserved millions. And the masses choose to suffer in silence! Too much waste in government!

Yet year after year, they continue to vote for the same robbers to govern over them. Can you blame the robbers if the people keep 's'electing them and allowing them to rule and rob them? This country has a serious problem. It should me a much better country than this. Something has to change very quickly.

Gowon was the beginning. Where and When will it end?
