Gowon was a soldier not a political statesman. He was very simple.He was faithful to the Northern and Western masters including chief Awolowo not like Ojukwu who arrogated all power,will,decision, and direction to himself. I wish you long life ..happy birthday to you sir.

Gowon stands along Idi Amin of Uganda, Mengitsu Haile of Ethiopia as one of the biggest mass-murderers ever produced in Africa

Yakubu Gowon caused the Nigerian civil war by not keeping to the agreement he signed in Aburi, Ghana.

I laugh when people say Gowon fought for Nigerian unity. Gowon fought for the political and economic domination of Nigeria for his fellow Northerners.

Gowon is a man caked in evil, he is still listed as one of the biggest mass-murderers to come out of Africa and thats why he has never received one single international award.

That one no mean, any one can afford any woman as long as u have money. I Dey bang hausa, Yoruba, igbo, effik. The more money u have, the more women u have. More over, northern nigeria is the poorest region in Africa. So they have lesser men who can afford any woman than other regions. North has highest number of out of school children, highest poverty level, highest number of crime rate, insecurity, community clashes, highest number of beggars, highest number of extremists, highest number of kids who fail waec, highest number of jobless and unemployed youths, highest number of death, your region relies on quota system to survive, else the region will disappear. It was due to the poverty rate of the region that they had to create a separate scheme since they don't have the mental strength to compete with the rest of Nigeria. It is a shame to come from that region, sincerely.
then why are your people running to the north. Check d number of northerners in d east compared to d number of Nyamirees in d north. Your region is Dubai of Africa ,yet you cannot stay in it.

President Muhammadu Buhari has felicitated with Nigeria's former head of state and one of the living, General Yakubu Gowon as he turns 85 years tomorrow, Saturday, October 19, 2019.

In a statement obtained by Igbere TV issued by Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Buhari described Gowon as a living legend and symbol of national unity.

He extolled the celebrant for his courage and interest in the “interest” of Nigeria, saying his (Gowon’s) visionary leadership style, wisdom and disciplined outlook had kept the country as one.

According to Buhari, Gowon laid a solid foundation for the country to thrive, with the creation of federating units, and implementation of futuristic policies like the famous NYSC.

He, therefore, commended the former head of state for “providing wise counsels to leaders, encouraging good governance in Nigeria, and for consistently upholding the nation in prayers.”

A copy of the statement issued by Femi Adesina, on behalf of Mr President, is reproduced below by Igbere TV...

The Ijaw ethnic Nationality, congratulate/celebrate you, as you mark your birthday.
The ijaw ethnic nationality see you as one of their own, when the igbos came to intimidate and possess our land with the so called Biafra country, the ijaw Nation ( lead by Isaac Adaka Boro) joined the Nigerian forces to sweep them out.
as in eh the way igbos used that opportunity to grab lands and killed minorities wasn't funny at all

There are many Americans in Dubai, there are many Chinese in America. Yet, these countries are strongest on earth. Do u know why they go to these places as well even though their countries are doing fine? To want to make more money and conquer. No region in Nigeria is Dubai anything. I never said east is developed. East is not developed and no region is developed in nigeria. But my people lobe to work instead of beg. And also, u are wrong, there are millions of northerners in the east. There are many communities u will get to in Enugu, IMO, Anambra, Ebonyi and u would think u are in the north. The major tribe in Nigeria that I know that rarely travel out of their region is south west.

Americans can't come here because we are under developed. That igbos are in the north does not mean north is developed. It is the poorest region in Africa. The figures are there. No region in nigeria is developed. Igbos only go and hustle. They don't like to beg.
