Happy birthday sir....

They say Charity should begin at home!

You spent so much effort and force to keep this contraption United, but your own state has continued to fight and war even to this day. Isn't that hypocrisy?!!

Well, what do I even know... The Nigeria you fought so hard to keep forcefully United has continued to disintegrate since then!

The SERMONIZER of ONE NIGERIA.

Even if there is oppression Gowon keep propagating one Nigeria.

Even if one region is consuming the resources of other Gowon never bothered.

If Nigeria is to remain one then there should be fiscal federalism.

He is actually, only way older and above dem in military hierarchy. Those 2 no be him set.

You think say e easy to win a war as a sitting Head of State? As he dey so, he did what no other Head of State alive or dead did, he led and won a war for Nigeria. He is already immortalised and will one day be on a national currency. It's because he still dey alive dem never do am. Gen Gowon na a global icon and national legion.

Did he really win a war or starve innocent women and children forcing Biafra to surrender to save lives

A man with no sensible achievement.
I don't celebrate any of our past leaders.

They are the architect of Nigeria misfortune

So what are you and other's doing to change the misfortune to Great fortune? are you going to continue complaining till your old age ? what will you tell to the younger generation in 20/30yrs time when they heap the blame on your generation the same way you doing to generations before your's?

Crazy man
He send zoo soldiers to kill and maim innocent Biafrans, rep our mothers and grandmothers, thousands of children died of starvation in the lasting civil war that left a great vacuum in our hearts and history
He forced us to remain in this contraption called Nigeria. May his remaining days be darker, may he never find rest the after life, and may his generations to come never find peace on the surface of this earth.

So much injustice in Nigeria, it is well oh

You mean d osu people wey d IPOB terrorists forebears deny food during d Nigerian civil war so dey can use it for propaganda same way IPOB lied say shooting dey for Lekki con hide under am take burn down Lasgidi. You too dey decieve una sef yet una no get any respect for human life.

Na d same thing dey happen now wey IPOB terrorists dey use mass hunger of ibo people for propaganda . People no dey go work again, hunger dey wire dem and dem dey repeat the thing your grandpa do the osu people during the Nigeria civil war. An apple doesn't fall far from its tree, una go still kill ibo people and blame others for it. Shiorr.
As you see, Gen. Gowon no dey on life support and still dey Kampe whereas your hate filled grandpa don kpai in bitterness.

Not being in the news always doesn't mean he is not respected.

Obasanjo is the least respected of them. He believes amassing stupendous wealth and talking carelessly for recognition translates to having influence and respect.

Gowon is revered.

Because he was too good to be true, Nigerians don't like people who are too good or too kind.... Not perfect though but they try to be good enough!
