GreyLaw:


I believe Gowon is not a thief. However, the man ruled for 9 good solid years. 6 months alone is enough for a Nigerian dictator to steal the country blind. Gowon ruled for nine solid years!

I believe Gowon isn't a thief, however. That's my personal belief but only God knows the truth.

With all due respect...u must be really gullible

He's one of the most honest and responsible elder statesman in Nigeria.

The member of the parliament in UK who said he stole half of CBN is just chasing clout and relevancy in the Nigerian space and only the ipob people will give him that.

Really Are you sure?

I didn't know that.

seunmsg:


Parliamentarians cannot be sued for whatever they say inside the parliament. Tell the MP to repeat the allegation outside the parliament and see how quickly he will be sued.

Maybe it's just one quarter or the whole CBN ,who knows?

onyechez:

What about Robert Mugabe that looted Zimbabwe to such extent and sent away white farmers to reclaim indigenous land that crippled their economy?

Bro, it's still not possible to loot half of central bank. You can only devalue the currency by generating money at will.

I can't trust any nigerian leader 99% of them are all extremely corrupt even if this is a false allegation it might just be the way God wants to use to punish gowon for massacring 3m innocent igbos during the biafran war.

Probably he took MORE THAN HALF����

Stalwert:
Only the congenital abnormalities known as ipob and some reprobate corruption insurgents believe the tale of weakling who was just 2 year old when Gowon was holding the country together from colonial implanted land mines.

Olodo! To what end did Gowon hold the country together? Una no fit get sense. Nonsense masses...

We shall see

What's with Nigerians and defending wicked leaders, ten years from now,you'll people will describe buhari as a legend and of the best things that happened to Nigeria. Under Gowon's command, a Red Cross plane carrying powdered milk & dry fish for starving children was shot down in 1969.

He perpetrated a blockade that condemned over a million Igbo children to death by starvation & you put "decency" in the same sentence with him?
This crude & blatant revisionism of history has to stop biko

Gowon is a war criminal, he didn't stop at victory, he sought humiliation, he had no rules of engagement, he was an extremely cruel man. No sugarcoating it.

Secession may be a crime but the punishment is not genocide

if Gowon wanted genocide, he could have given the command to kill all igbos and you wouldn't be alive to post this shit.


Gowon and Obasanjo tried to make sure that igbos were not treated too badly, if Muritala Mohammed or Awolowo was the head of state in 1970, it would have been worst to the igbos.

Kai!
Receiver of of stolen assets now comes out that his nation was also corrupt, that they were the ones that received the stolen assets, and were pointing accusing fingers. Oyinbo will always accuse you financially with evidence.
Let Ret. General Gowon ask for proof. You will see wonders.

He kept Nigeria a united Country. you should point your fingers at Ojukwu that decided to secede because of personal ambition. Biafrans boast about how they outsmarted Nigerians with receiving ammunitions through unconventional ways and you complain about shooting down a plane? Gowon never sought humiliation. Go listen to his speech again, he said no victor no vanquished, we all won as one Nigeria. Stop the lies and bitterness, it has been ongoing for ever and it's all lies.

LLSAINT:
You spoke my mind
Same Gowon defiled an agreement in Aburi and was an accomplice to the murder of over 1 million people in a war that was settled in Aburi-Ghana.
He was alleged to have been the mastermind to the assasination of Gen. Murtala by his loyalist who wanted him to return after the coup.
He murdered Aguyi-Ironsi with his key men like Shehu Yar-adua and T.Y Danjuma
He repatriated half of the CBN ( our resources) to the UK as asserted but because he was not good in financial management, the money could not multiply.
Now, he is living under the table (Anything una/FG give me, I take)

Liar liar. You guys has always lied and always try to behave like a weasel, Aguiyi Ironsi refused to do judgement against the coup plotters that spilled blood and murdered people from a certain area and there was a counter coup and he was equally executed. He never started a war, the aburi conference was a manipulated lie. You believe lies just because it feeds into your narrative. Do you honestly believe any bank in the UK can accept half of CBN? Where is the evidence? All the workers there were all blind and uneducated and no one could talk about it?

Yakubu Gowon kept us united as one Country, he defeated Ojukwu fair and square and he is a Nigerian hero, Ojukwu started a war and led people to death and ran away at the end, he later came back after pardon. That is the history bro.

The English government knows more than you in a much our government leaders are concerned because na them de keep our stolen money for our politicians.

Aufbauh:
The UK with their hypocrisy is stinking.
You accuse us of corruption yet you provide safe haven for our corrupt politicians. SMH!

The UK was right because they knows every one of our past and present politicians more than we know

TimeManager:

Has the British Government returned to us what they looted from us?
I expect the British Government to prove the allegation and send back to us a large chunk of his half the CBN loot as 'Gowon Loot', until that is done, they should stuff their hypocrisy up their ass.

kiss the truth!

Yeah, they're trying to sanction some of our corrupt officials with fat banks account and properties but unfortunately our leaders would go and beg

PenuelFarms:
Truly rubbish.

The MP that confidently made that assertion was a toddler at the time Gowon's regime was overthrown. This just confirmed the deep-rooted stereotypes in the mind of an average Briton.

Guy, you're wrong. Do you know that whatever crime African leaders committed was in the the criminal book of the westerners, they knew our past and present politicians more than we do. A western baby can tell you about Buhari more than you know, they're not Africans.

How could Gowon have pulled such a stunt when he was overthrown suddenly without warning ?

ivolt:
It is not rubbish. Gowon should not deny us our money. We hereby call on the UK to give us the exact figure and the date the money will be returned.
#bringbackourhalfofCBN

Gowon was surprise that the guy mentioned his name but he forgot that nothing was hidden in as much this world is concern.

tot:
Foolish Nigerians will soon come and defend their politicians - yet 1960 till date, very little development - bad roads, bad healthcare, falling standards.
Hungry people aka BMC defending those that have fed fat on their commonwealth. Senselessness at its peak.

Same way Cameron the former Prime Minister referred to Nigerians as fantastically corrupt. You think they make such statements for talking sake? These guys know the depth of corruption in Nigeria even more than Nigerians.

Absolutely my dear

Yebosola:



He tired me oh, look at that idiot DJ socket trending on twitter with what is beyond her intellectual capacity, Gowon that was overthrown from Kampala during a summit, where he get time to evacuate half of CBN, UK is part and parcel of Nigeria's problem, why can't they return the audio money all these yrs?

What has DJ Switch got to do with this? You Northerners are just devilish and greedy set of people. But are pained abt the truth

Am not a Northerner,a confirmed Omoluabi, she got plenty to do with destruction of Lagos with her lies, karma will soon visit her, she tweeted on Gowon, Awolowo and the others of recent too, rubbishing their names of been not worthy of hero, isn't that beyond her intellectual capacity? How old is that idiot?

And meanwhile, Gowon was outside the country on official duty while his government was overthrown.
How did he have the time and logistics to move 'half of the Central Bank' out of Nigeria?

Oga but this is hatred cos it's not the allegations levelled against him. Yours is topic for another day.

Which book did you get your facts from?
Your assertions do not add up.
Do you have details of the Aburi accord?
Please get your facts right......

He does not own oil well except if he is a stakeholder in the firm.
I know TY Danjuma owns wells but not heard of Gowon

Bizibi:
there was a particular oil well I was told he owned in akwa ibom,they were making plans to sell it this year.

They all shared Nigeria's wealth within themselves in that era...

. Secede is Very Very Necessary even till today ...Other Countries Secede and it was Successful without accusing any Leader of personal Ambition ,Nigeria is not given birth to by an Agreement by Nigerians ,Stop this nonsense ...Go and read History what Led to this Forceful contraption called Nigeria ... Ojukwu ,D man who saw Tommorow ....
