Flexherbal: But are they? All the youths that led the legislative houses bungled their chances.... Today what the rest are doing is watching people sleeping at night in BBN waiting to know who did what. What exactly in politics is exciting the minds of the youth? Gerontocrats continue to rape our collective commonwealth and there is no single clue on what to do or how to go about anything 2 Likes |

Gowon came to power in 1966 with the promise to hand over to civilians at the "earliest possible date". Nine years later in 1975, Gowon was still trying trying to hand over at the earliest possible date. The idiot known as Murtala Mohammed overthrew Gowon as soon as Gowons plane left for Kampala 1 Like |

Pimpmaride:for the records in his lifetime his land is being taken over and renamed by those who he felt are his real friends in one Nigeria. In 20 years let's see what becomes of plateau state. Slow and steady they are taking over his ancestral land,kliing his people,renaming villages etc. If that is not a curse tell me what is a curse? 2 Likes |

Sometimes i am not sympathetic with the middlebelt,they were the main force in the nigerian army that fought the biafran wars. But after the war,the Hausa/Fulanis aystematically purged their officers after the overthrow pf Gowon,that was why Dimka struck and killed Murtala,the likea of Bisalla,etc. I laugh when presently i hear middlebelt say they are no longer Northerners unlike in the past they claimed to be North. Its so sad that they realized they were used late. The Yorubas crave for their own State if the Igbos have their Biafra cos they know no tribe except the igbos can withstand the onslaught of the North,though marginalised and divided,the igbos still stand formidable. Imagine what will happen if the whole Igbos rally together,this is the fear of the North. I bet you nobody can stand them. Please let us stand united against injustice and marginalised. All tribes should put aside their doubts and hatred against the Igbos,and stand behind the tribe because the bitter truth is that the survival of other tribes rests with the Igbos. So becareful when u work against the igbos cos u we need eachother. quote author=EsomahJD post=92252241]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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfGF3HwSMrc[/quote] 1 Like |

I laugh a thousand times so till now you didnt know that it was a plan between him and the North,didnt notice the pattern continued after then. The North,kept been in Power thru agreed coup till hand over in 1999. So my dear,if you know history well you wouldnt have said that. quote author=ursullalinda post=92253963]And he was still calm and smiling.......I love his reaction.......his sympathisers must have been confused watching this then.[/quoti l |

It was arranged so that it would be bloodless coup. That was the pattern to keep the North in power quote author=Anneka101 post=92258060]He wasn't shocked like someone I know. He was feeling less concerned and still looking happy. [/quote] |

Johnjanrt: I do laugh at some people comment such as this as if they don't think before they type anything: * Gowon was irrelevant yet he was the longest serving president unbreakable 9 years(how many of your family is a councillor for 4 years, not an insult) * Gowon was irrelevant yet become president when he was a bachelor(where is your at 29 okay lets say 30, its not an insult) *Gowon was irrelevant yet was chief of staff to his predecessor in his twenties(i guess you still depend on your parents in your twenties). *Gowon was irrelevant yet fought a three years civil war for three years plus external military forces in his 30s(im sure u never handle a riffle in your life) *Gowon was irrelevant yet h established NYSC which im sure you benefitted from. *Gowon was irrelevant yet he's honored both home and abroad and baba is 90+ (respect his age and massive achievements and pray for long life). I can go on and on. If you don't know how to make comments just walk pass, you are entitled to your opinion but nonetheless respect people with gray hairs. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Rawhumper: Did u see how u overhyped the igbos and downgrade other tribes, and u still want the other tribes to rally behind you and support you? Who does that? It is this ur overbearing attitudes and self proclaimed superpower that will be ur waterloo. How can u abuse other tribes and then want them to support u? U guys lack diplomacy at all. 10 Likes 1 Share |
