Is Gowon Actually Igbo? by NNEWIsuper: 8:19pm On May 03, 2019 |
there is a general belief in South eastern Nigeria that General yakubu Gowon is an Igbo man from the Ezza clan in present day Ebonyi state... Rumours have it that his father lived in plateau and gave birth to him there, his father died and his step father a plateau man had to raise him up...he has even been shown his father's house in Ebonyi after the war.. the question now is , did Gowon knows he was Igbo before the war and if he knew, why did he fight his own people?? 1 Like |

Is his name an IBO name? Those who bring someone up in life, if they are very caring, have the capability of influencing the person's decision in life. I believe you understand what I mean by now? |

I heard a different tale, that his mother was an Igbo woman and was already pregnant with him before she got married to a plateau man, but the secret was revealed when he was about to be made a chief in plateau, but the cap kept falling down when they tried putting it on his head, that was when the eldest man said they should ask his mother who's truly his father and she confessed she was already pregnant before she got married. Though I heard he deeply regretted what he did during the war, that was why he has refused to Identify with Igbo people cos of guilt. |

NNEWIsuper: Even Ike Nwachukwu a man whose Ibo root is not clouded fought on Nigerian side. Arthur Nzeribe was an arms dealer for Nigerian Army during war. He supplied the guns and bullets Army used to wipe out biafran rebels. This is an Afonja. 3 Likes |

I'll not be surprised. Even General Muritala Mohammed is from Auchi, Edo state, an Igbo blood group in Edo state. |
