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
at least muri was better. He planned to handover sooner

You misunderstood me bro,its not about superpower.

We lost the war because of the middlebelt who supported the North and then had majority of infantry troops in nogerian army.

Am trying to bring out how the Hausa/fulanis used other tribes to achieve their own selfish purposes and dumped them.

If am belittling other tribes,i wouldnt canvass for support,and am not asking for the realization of Biafra cos i dont support that but am asking to know the fact with the recent killings and happenings,one should know truly if the igbis are eliminated other tribes will be at the mercy of the Hausa/Fulanis.


I hope you understand my point,sometimes diplomacy is set aside to achieve clarification,dont you think?












abdulkayus:


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.

We will all become a past someday. We need to live a good life. Forty-five years ago was like yesterday. All their selfish actions then made us a useless nation today.

You're such a pain in the ass. Though I don't take serious mentions of ass-lickers as you. For your information I don't celebrate mediocrity. As for your intellectual retardation try and find an ordinary plateau man and asks him of the impact of Gowon around and hear replies you'll get. Again when compared to the likes of OBJ and PMB and the rest you wouldn't say the same of Gowon.
Receive sense you oaf.
ayenale1:


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.

Re: The Moment Gowon Received The News Of The Coup That Overthrew Him In OAU by Oksman(m): 11:35am On Jul 30, 2020
Excuses:


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 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.



Nonsense!

He died because he overrated himself thinking he was popupar.

What a history! God bless technology. Those against technology should go and die.

Sometimes, I imagine how the world would have been without technology. I watched a full clip of the second world war and respected the whites more. 1945 Europe is far more developed structurally than some of African states.

Video and camera technologies have helped mankind very well to preserve history.

Common Meenh!

Can one elder in the house explain how coup was carried out.
Is it just a mere pronouncement or what

Announcement is one part of it - a major one for that one. That is why Radio Nigeria and NTA then was more of a garrison, full of soldiers. Radio station is where the coup plotters or any one interested in change of government announces his success.

A successful coup happens when you are able to seize the security apparatus of a country or a state - the armed forces, police and other security system. Seizure here means getting those in control of the security system to switch to your side or using force to arrest or execute them and appoint your men to the position. Finally, fighting your way to the States house or presidential palace.

But the announcement is a very important aspect of it

The coward was happy that he's alive in far away Uganda. He later fled to the UK and tried to orchestrate a comeback which didn't go so well for his cronies.
