I don't know why some Igbos are still hating on this man. He did what he could do at that material time.

Trust me, Igbos should be greatful that Gowon was the head of state when Biafra catapulated. Imagine if Murtala Mohamed, Danjuma or some one like Buhari was the head of state. It would have been a different ball game. He stood his ground and gave strict code of conduct to the field commanders in the East Central state to behave professionally. That was why there were no mass scale execution after the war.

The only known member of the Biafra government cabinet member that was killed after the war was Professor Kalu Ezira, the political adviser to the Biafran government that came late to the Uli airport when ojukwu was about to leave Biafra.

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

'When you go to war but your plans
and strategies for survival depends on the magnanimity and cooperation of your opponents, you may as well say that you are trying to commit mass suicide'

Gen Gowon won the war ,fine and square.



You people never for once hold the Biafran authority responsible for the starvation of women and children while they diverted relief foods to feed their Biafran soldiers.


Ojukwu was a great man but nevertheless a man who like all other mortals made mistakes and had his flaws which you like to overlook.


It is very difficult to see any Biafran who thinks Ojukwu and his Biafran Junta shared part of the Blame for what went wrong.

God has already celebrated Gen Gowon.


Monuments are named after him in different parts of the country despite the fact that he comes from a minority tribe of about 7,000 peoples.

The Rivers State Gov't recently renamed the LIBRATION Stadium, Port Harcourt as YAKUBU GOWON Stadium,Port Harcourt.

So you had no means of guaranteeing your people could eat before you declared secession and entered military confrontation?

The people you are fighting should ensure you are well-fed?

DAMN IDIOT.
