Atleast they didn't kill him

ursullalinda:
And he was still calm and smiling.......I love his reaction.......his sympathisers must have been confused watching this then.

Who was calm?

Check him and Idi Amin....

That was the moment.

Ff

I also felt the pain.

Today in History. 45 years ago, on 29 July 1975: Gen. Yakubu Gowon, President of Nigeria, was in Kampala attending the OAU meeting when he heard--via one of his aides--that he had been ousted from office in a military coup.

Reuters captured the moment when Gowon was given the news.

Coward. 5 million innocent women and children will haunt you forever.

Insulting everyone is the type of politics ipob miscreants are good in playing. That brand of politics will earn you more enemies than friends. Such is the case with any politician supported by ipob miscreants.

COWARD?

Did you see Gowon stealing a female dress and running to Abidjan?

The cannibalism (you call them cabals) in the rules. Oh the fulanisers

Your hatred and tribalism will ruin you.

They now say that the youths are not experienced enough

The youths of then were millions of distance different and better than the youths of now.

How do you sleep at night hating on another people.

let us always ''CALM DOWN'' at every situation... Yakubu Gawon our Hero..........

One of the pogrom crusaders.

Once upon a time, Nigeria was governed by the young but what we have today are old, tired with wrinkle body, brainless and refurbished entities who are always in shock.

He was consulting Idi Amin to come and help him, Idi Amin was like, don't worry, I will think about it.

He really managed his emotions well.

I salute the media for their diligent documentations.

Simplyleo:
Gowon is truly a soldier.

A soldier always appears cool in any situation.

Nah, Gowon was suffering from inferiority complex. He was a stark illiterate who got to that height on the recommendations of the British instructors at Sandhurst because of his loyalty and eye service and boy-boy disposition.

Some much of a man. He said "they brought good news." I said WTF

The blood will keep on crying on your head for killing innocent women and children. May Gowon be cursed in thjs life and in the life to come.

CzarChris:
Could only imagine his thoughts then.

Guys forget the smile and the calm look, he was unnerved by the news and he was just keep up appearances for the cameras. Dude's mind must have been a mine field at that point.

Its a lie... He is cool.. No shaking

"it was a palace coup". I can hear him say that to the white man, in the last clip. He was quite unnerved in the first clip. Those reporters just focused on him. Coups were a common thing in those days.

Life no be war, his happiness is leaving the position alive

Show us proof

IamWonderful:
I like this Gowon, seems like the only enlightened military president in Nigeria

Murtala Mohammed pass them all,he was killed carelessly for for been alone without security on a friday,after overthrowing the government of Gowon 6 months later Europe described him as the man who evoked awe with the dictates of his presence.

Obasanjo cried for the death of Murtala, as for Yakubu Gowon he was striped of all his military honours & respect. but were debated and duly restored when obasanjo became president again in1999.

Bisala &Dimka plus other 21 soldiers lives were laid to rest in the coup that led to Murtala's death.

Note:If u read about how the guy was handling public office holders, you would wish he never died.

I think the Royal Rumble is between Ab0ki and Yeeboz today.

Gowon, so after all this ur unprofessional gra gra fighting to wipe out biafra what did u gain?? Your only gain which u are reaping today is that d Fulani oligarchy u were fighting for are today killing your Plateau people like rats...Sorry ehn, what goes round comes around!
