e be like say gowon knew that a coup was coming, so him wife and children were in london at the time.

jayAjoku:
Gowon was not overthrown it was a well planned coup so Gowon can claim plausible deniability and remain In the realms of power while seeming like a good man. The following generals should be held responsible for the Collapse and stagnation of this country.

General Gowon
General Babangida
General Abacha
General Buhari
General Obasanjo
General TY danjuma
General Adbusalam
Colonel David Mark

these men are the part of the cabal if you think other wise you are a fool

Igbos caused their own problems by starting the first coup in the country and murdering the Prime minister and leaders of the other regions, except theirs.

That led ultimately to a civil war.

DON’T EXPECT THE PEOPLE WHOSE LEADERS YOU MURDERED TO WELCOME YOU WITH ROSES, OR TRUST YOU WITH HIGH POSITIONS, YOU STUPID NARCISSISTIC ANIMALS.

The Igbo tribe planted the first seed of nepotism & cold blooded murder of political leaders in Nigeria & the law of KARMA will forever follow their generation.

This man keeps fanning the embers of tribal war.

He did same with GEJ. He and Patience are the people that made GEJ lose the election.

By the way I'm a Kalabari man and I dont subscribe to this approach he keeps pushing out

There is a paper on multinationals in developing societies that covered this episode. I read it in school.

This makes me remember reading the phrase "monkey work, baboon chop," for the first time. That was what the Murtala faction called Gowon's govt. Apparently many of them felt that Lagos based Generals couldn't claim to be as dedicated as war front officials. But the irony is that Murtala Muhamed left the war front in a fit of rage without proper procedure. He went off to London.

The real men who fought with honor were ppl like Shuwa, Danjuma etc. Not a surprise that Murtala built up considerable antagonism against his person. It culminated in his assassination. Nigeria of 1966 to 1979 will be perfect for a miniseries.

They want to plunged the country in to civil war for their selfish interest, forgetting that they won't get a befitting burial when ever they die, for during civil war you are not guaranteed a good six feets.

6 Yoruba women are living my my father's compound selling agbo,2 Yoruba men are living in my kindred and na them dey tax us unlike here that you tax us in Ibadan,other Yoruba men are living in my town,so what did you say about thr rest of Nigeria housing igbos again?🤔

Sense is far from you son

This your comment has me curious.

what kind of a house is your father’s house? If six of the people who live in it are Agbo sellers and pay their rent, is your father’s house a shanty?

If otherwise your father’s house is a modern property hosing six agbo sellers who pay their rent, agbo business must be really profitable then. Why do you think they should be ashamed for selling agbo?

If Clark can remember what he said then he should also remember this below:

@
Wole Soyinka travelled to Biafra where he held a meeting with Odumegwu Ojukwu and then with Victor banjo and Philip Alale. The latter two were soon executed by Ojukwu. It was from Victor Banjo that Soyinka first ever heard the name Olusegun Obasanjo*


These are the dark moment of our history that Clark or whoever should shelf for now because it won't help our current situation a bit.

This is no time to be going backward to heartbroken history it's sadistic and bad.

Chief Clark pls grow a bit despite you are over 80 years grow a bit more sir.

There's a reason why the first ever president of Nigeria was an Igbo man; Igbos are nation builders. They keep hating while the Igbos keeps progressing despite the gang up against them.

Even in this bulablu's current shameful run as a president, we know the region who are feeling the heat the most.

As ibos take see everybody for north as hausa/fulani, na like dat northerners take see everybody for east. But Gowon do am well as he take create SS states commot body from SE region, na why SS people dey enjoy Nigeria today, otherwise their gum body with SE for dey make them suffer. Today now, everybody for naija sabi differentiate SS people from SE. Gowon do well. But una remember that Gowon been dey collect toto from one ibo woman like dat who come later born pikin for am, so na that soft spot Gowon had for ibos as per in-law, however, Murtala's anger was quite reasonable because at the time the two iconic northern leaders in Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa were killed by ibo coupists, both SS and SE were all under the same eastern region dominated by ibos. Northerners would not have tolerated Gowon appointing anyone from the region at the time.
See as SS dey like Dubai and Paris, see as SS dey dominate for education, commerce, small and medium scale industries, see as SS environment clean with no oil pollution for their water, high rise buildings everywhere, their pikin no dey do housemaid or sell gala like the other region whey dey land locked, SS dey ahead

Until Igbos send a HIGH LEVEL TRADITIONAL DELEGATION comprising their most powerful traditional elders and priests on an APOLOGY MISSION to those regions whose leaders they killed in that FIRST COUP OF 1966… As in GO THERE to meet their counterparts in those regions, with SACRED WINE, SACRIFICIAL COCKRELS, AND A VIRGIN OR TWO, TO CLEANSE THOSE LANDS OF THE EVIL COMMITTED BY THEIR KINSMEN in that coup, you can forget about Igbos gaining power in this country.

NNPC was created in 1977 after Muritala was killed by OBJ with Buhari as the first Chairman.

Clark is a useless liar

...but in your mind the civil war has ended after 50 years?

If not, why will the Yoruba emilokans want to be president twice, when the SE has not?

Remember Nigeria was founded on a tripod.

What gave them the impunity for that is their perception that the war is still on after 50 years.
