The Aburi agreement was not binding before consultation with the Nigerian people. Gowon consulted and he was advised accordingly. Ojukwu thought he was smart by using his Oxford learning to bamboozle his peers into signing an agreement that would have been the end of Nigeria, until he met his match in others as learned as he was. The rest is history

And how did it help Nigeria as a nation today?

Lol, he won’t suffer one bit, the werey people have eyes on lagos since, it’s in their blood to take what doesn’t belong to them. I thank awolowo for doing the job for us. That’s why i always like yoruba people till today, wish to give them wife in the future.

This is one mistake you kids make. Ojukwu only agreed to still remain in Nigeria if only the Aburi accord was implemented. Ask yourself why was Gowon and the rest of other regions afraid to implement that accord if they were sincere? Again the fact that Gowon is still alive doesn't mean all is well with him. Go and check his children u will understand that nemesis is real. God can also vent his anger on his generations yet unborn. It's only a fool who believes he won't suffer for his attrocities.

Ola9ja23:
He is not afraid of anyone.


He is not a coward

Anyone who is angry should go and attack Gowon

We are not blood thirsty vampires like your people in the north .
We are not sadists.
We don't stab people at the slightest provocation .
The Igbos have value for human life

It helps because Igbos will never librate unless they reach isreal.

Roger3D:
Most countries with a constitution require the approval of their respective national assemblies before foreign agreements entered into by their executives can take force. In Nigeria's case back then, Gowon needed to have the consent of the SMC before the Aburi accord could be implemented. He did' not get that consent. Abi you wan make him be dictator?

Does military government operate with constitution? When he created states did he consult the supreme military council? Military dictatorship is absolute and gives supreme power to the head of state. Don't confuse it with civilian regime

They used Gowon's people as the foot soldiers to prosecute the war. Today what is happening to the Tivs of the middle belt? Who are the ones decimating them, the Igbos? Does it now make sense why I don't sympathize with them when their fulani brethren go showing them love?

That's why I called him a kid.He doesn't know nemesis's comes in various ways. Now let Gowon save his people since he brags with war as being his achievement

gidgiddy:


If people like you bothered to reas Nigerian history, you would know it was Gowon who caused the war by not abiding to the agreement he signed with Ojukwu in Ghana

No you’re wrong, the main issue is that people like you are trying to re-write history. I know that’s a convenient lie your elders told you but try and pick up books and read. I’ve read books on the Nigerian civil war, written by Nigerians. I’m very well aware that what caused the civil war wasn’t aburi meeting. But you see, if that lie makes you sleep well at night continue to live with it. However, note that it is foolish to do same thing twice and expect a different result.

This was why he erased history from our curriculum so that he can keep the history to himself

It is not a mystery na sweet talk Ojukwu take sustain War

Gowon messed up with that statement. Very infantile statement according to Sam Amadi.

Where is the reconciliation aspect of the agreement reached?

Please, what exactly did he say wrong ??. His statement is not offensive in the slightest. When some people hear about biafra war in any way or form, it just dey pain them to the core. Nonsense.

AMADI you've lost it! In Yoruba land, we don't insult elders. We look for diplomatic ways to engage them. As the matter now stands, you're the one lacking wisdom.

The achievement Gowon is proud of was his ability to keep Nigeria one, and not the number of people who died in the war. If you're wise, you will tender your unreserved apology to the respected Statesman.

Why are they harassing Gowon? He spoke the truth about the civil war.
Gowon never wanted the war to break out and sought peaceful means of settlement,but Ojukwu was reckless,rash and too eager to pull Igbos out of Nigeria.
Well Gowon is still alive, healthy and bubbling in good health, while Ojukwu the war lord has long ago passed to the other Side.
And Gowon is older than Ojukwu.
Irony of life.

gowon has never speak up even when Fulani massacre his people in thousands , you only hear of his support any government in Aso rock, those whom re silent during oppression are worst than the oppressor, what were the remote and immediate causes of the war? Gowon was timid and semi illiterate whom never understood what confederation meant, armed with stark illiterates as secretaries to aburi accord, they agreed and signed the terms at aburi, but when the returned to Nigeria a severing federal commissioner a Benin prince explained to them extensively the terms of the accord, which makes the center weak and no decision can be taken without full consent of all regions , there by relegating gowons power as head of state, you cannot rewrite history, today Igbos have moved on, but gowon and his people re the worst hit, when 200 people were massacred at gowons plateau state in December 23 2023, Peter obi an Igbo man flew from the east to visit and commiserate with Jos pple, gowon never spoke up, talk more of visiting them ,that is his nature, but he is first of all president or head of state to always visit aso rock for any new government, when he was disgraced out of power he was at AOU meeting at Uganda, he had to return to school in london, to understand what confederation meant, he was even embarrassing Nigeria to queue on the line for food, delegates were sent to London from Nigeria to advice him as it’s not befitting for an ex president, for the op how said ojukwu is dead and gowon is still enjoying life, I will leave you with a proverb you have never heard before, I know for sure you re not Igbo, the proverb is, in Italy for 30yrs under borgias they had warefare, terror murder and bloodshed but they produced Michelangelo and Leonardo da vinci, in Switzerland they had brotherly love , the had 500yrs of democracy and peace but only produced the cuckoo clock, untill Nigeria tap into ingenuity of Igbo man , this country will never excel.leave it or take it.

CommonSense1967:
Gowon will always be remembered as one of the best leaders to ever lead Nigeria.
This Sam Amadi is a complete lunatic. Instead of blaming the cowardly clown Ojukwu who started an unjust war, this fool like the rest of his tribal clowns prefers to abuse a man who did what any right-thinking leader would have done.
Gowon will always be a statesman in the eyes of the vast majority of Nigerians.

How can ojukwu start a defensive war?

Please stop disgracing yourself here

While igbo people are way better off than Gowon people... the people he claimed to maimed are the one speaking against fulani onslaughts against his poeple of plateau today.
The irony of life

When you say way better than 'Gowon people', are you referring to the " get rich or die trying" mentality or is it the "show off" and "I pass my neighbour" attitude...

Being better in a wholistic way I'll say the 'Gowon people' have it all...

gidgiddy:


A President signs an agreement but it is not binding? Really? Is that how you people reason? You sign an agreement then decide later if you want to go through with the agreement or not?

So how did you expect their won't be trouble?

I sign an agreement, and later I say that I conducted, and decided not to honor the agreement I signed? So I couldn't consult before signing? Then its Gowons's fault 100%

Really! A president cannot unilaterally sign an agreement affecting the fundamental structure of a country. Even a dictator cannot fo that without the agreement of the military and other sections of the country.
The Aburi Accord was never ratified by the supreme military council or politicians of other regions of the country, therefore the Aburi Accord was null and void ab initio.

exactly during the aburi accord going to war was also part of resolutions... So when they say gowon should apologize for what.. the East broke out of Nigeria and Nigeria went to war to keep the country as one... Even Spain had to cut of certain privileges enjoyed by catalunya when they started misbehaving.. so some Igbos are just to emotional when biafra issues comes up that's why I hardly involved in the discussion publicly and other mediums except na naira land where Dem no Sabi us

A military man takes an oath to maintain the territorial integrity of a country with his life. You don't expect a general to fold his hands and watch a section of the country secede.

Even if a military government suspends constitution, that doesn't mean they can give portions of the country away.

NICe on wallahi.......I love this man now......waiting to see you analyze on arise tv tonight pls

If I were Grown I would not make comparison with the situation on the ground. Nigerian are one kind funny people . Very difficult to satisfy. He supposed to have kept quiet and ho on his way .See how they are dragging his legs now.

Please is gowon from which state? Is be better than Biafrans, shameless irrelevant

Absolute power is absolute power my friend. No one can claim there was a law at the time which required Gowon to consult anyone.

It's best to admit that he had absolute power and in that regard he could also reverse himself.

Gowon lived long enough to see the fruits of his labour, to witness his people being slaughtered by the very people he committed genocide for.
