When is he going to make confession for the role he played over the lost of millions of lives during the Civil War. Time is gradually ebbing away for him and the day of reckoning beckons.
Ojukwu never confessed before he died too. The real reason Ojukwu went to war was because the eastern region was "divided into 3 tiny states" (his exact words). He didn't want his influence reduced so he went to war and sacrificed a lot of his people for his own personal ambition

This one doesnt want to go answer his judgement day question how he murdered my people in cold blood. you think you can fool God

Just like Ojukwu , who is already roasting in Hell, because of thousands of life's he sacrificed to his gods on iroko trees.

Evil man. Fulani slave.

His people enjoyed the gift of the Fulanis a bit but will fully enjoy it when the South leaves them with the North.

Very soon.

His Tivi people are enjoying the Nigeria he fought for with routine Fulani massacres and he never says a word about it.


But anytime IPOB gets hots, he comes out to make media statements about how the unity of Nigeria is not negotiable.

He cares more about what the Igbos choose to do with their destiny than the impending disaster the destiny of his own people is turning out to become. They may become extinct and their land lost forever.

He was used by the north and the British to do the dirty job of maintaining this quagmire called Nigeria.


Olodo, is Gowon Tivi from Benue or Angas from Plateau? History seriously needs to be re-introduced in schools, you have failed your Primary, Secondary and tertiary teachers grin

I'm not happy with Gowon for these reasons:

1. His role in Nigeria's civil war was ignoble. If you know, you know. He was the one who recruited the mercenaries from Niger and other neighbouring countries to finish off
Biafran civilians left untouched by the Nigerian army during the war. The mercenaries were called "GODOGODO". If you know, you know!
2. He was the one, as part of the deal in hiring the "GODOGODO" signed and sealed the agreement that the Fulani herdsmen have been using as excuse to invade Nigeria up till now. I mean the issue of grazing routes.
3. His silence as his kinsmen are being killed left, right, and center by Fulani militia/herdsmen is criminal and complicit to say the least.
4. He's the only ex head of Nigeria who's been ass-licking and bootlicking Buhari as at today. Even, Ernest Shonekan has shown more sense than him.


Anyway, I honour him on this day. Happy birthday to him. May he live long so as to personally experience the resultant horror he unleashed on hapless souls and the evil he condoned thinking it won't touch him. Amen!

With all these comments you can’t claim to be honouring Gen Gowon on his birthday.

If you know what a war situation is then you will know how not to be one sided. The Biafra leadership didn’t hire mercenaries as well just to come and have a cup of tea...or palmwine.

War situations can be pretty complex and defiant

See, I'm tempted NOT to respond to you but I'll resist the temptation this once.
I mentioned REASONS why I'm not happy with him. I mentioned his ignoble roles during the war. We're discussing Gowon today. So, basically, everything should centre round him and his deeds.
What's complicated about war history. You do am àbí you no do am? Simple. If you want to excuse yourself, then go write a book of lie or truth and state whatever you wanna write there!
I honour him. And I've equally prayed for him. If you're unhappy about that, I'm sorry I'm not sorry at all.
