Gowon is a war criminal and should be sent to icc if not for the support he enjoyed from his slave master the British,but God have prepared his icc court and he will soon start serving his eternal jail term in hell with his master the devil and his co murderers like obj,the British,Egyptian,Russians and other west Africans that supported him,born again in hell Mr gowon.

Both sides were guilty of war crimes. What Gowon was saying was that Ojukwu underestimated him by going ahead into that war.
The war was best not fought with such low level of preparedness from Ojukwu.
I particularly would like to have a country that does not include particular ethnic groups...but. Nigeria cannot break easily, and wars are not won by luck, guesswork nor by default.

The OsunDefender report, which you cited in your mischievous analogy, is obviously an attempt aimed at informing the general public on the involvement of other ethnic nationalities and religious identities in the Boko Haram racketeering. It is a departure from the common stereotype held against the typical northern Hausa/Fulani Muslim.

How does this relate to the subject matter?
And what informed your wanton plunge into ethnic trivialisation and blackmail in your bid to defend such heinous crimes of cannibalism, corruption and terrorism when the perpetrators turn out to be your kinsfolk?

Once again, how do such crimes contribute to the advancement of Alaigbo to the extent that you have to label anyone who report on them as Yorubas, and enemies of igbo progress and development?

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
Don't be deceived, this is part of a wider war by Southwest Nigeria against any rising State in Southeast using foreign correspondents to hinder direct foreign investment and development from the region.

This same people have strategically position themselves far back as 1970s to put holes in all environmental assessments conducted for development in Southeast.

Remember the publication which highlighted how Enugu Airport failed to follow due process and so many of such investments.

Easterners should open their eyes to understand the economic war and where it is coming from.

It was Yorubas that put this fake news on Yahoo.

Your level of clannish idiocy is incredibly phenomenal!
Why would you engage in such acts of savagery and blame the Yorubas when they hit the news stand? To your primitive mind, your imaginary enemies form the West are also against the development of Australia & Brazil by including in the story similar acts committed in those countries.

This was how you slowpokes labelled everyone as enemies of your progress for speaking against the massive crimes and corruption committed under the watchful eyes of GEJ, NOI, et al.

To you and your like-minds, the definition and values of progress and development are restricted to acts of unspeakable criminality and savagery.

Must you show your bitterness all the time? The OP is not ingnorant of the man's flaws (everybody has their sins) but this thread was created for birthday wishes. But no...you have to spam it with your frustrations.

Get the help you so desperately need!

What is it to celebrate about this fat fool whose only achievement in life is a magazine to celebrate looters of the Nigerian treasury

Happy birthday to Mr Momodu.

You have been feeding on the flesh of mad people and ïmbeciles.

Even in the 21st century? Civilisation can't seem to catch up with some people.

Poor service delivery to a people with very low expectations and standards.

Before nkor?

SOUNDKING:
there is nothing good from the unity of this slave trader natiion.

Who are the slaves, and who is trading on them?

If you are one on the slaves, how much was your price? I can repay the money times two to your oppressive slave master to set you free... Even if you were born that way.

Shouldn't you be asking why Jonathan didnt probe them instead of losing sleep over a yet to be constituted government with no statutory powers, last i checked, Jonathan is still the president and the chief law enforcement officer of Nigeria with all the statutory powers?

You might want to STFU because Jonathan is still the president and chief law enforcement officer of the federal republic of Nigeria.

Why rational adults keep responding to that misinformed lad beats my imagination. He has given you enough time and reasons to fathom the extent to which he lacks credibility, and the depth of his shallow-mindedness.
He is best ignored for his like-minded herds.

BUSHHUNTER:
You know nothing about Edo state

And you have so far displayed uncommon knowledge about Edo state judging by your activities on this thread.

Now, clap for yourself

There is no doubt about that.

One of the homes Jonathan and his family, Alison-Madueke, et al inted to pack into after fleeing from Nigeria.
They can't get too far from the long arms of the law.

Their days are numbered!

Wedding of the year!. Hate it or Love it..

Yes oo!

Edo north is made up of Owan, Akoko-Edo and Etsako. Only Etsako has a majority Muslim population, apart from which every other part of Edo state is Christian dominated with, of cause, pockets of Muslims scattered here and there (which is very common in a typical Nigerian state).

I am a Christian from a town of almost 99% Christian population in Edo north. The fact that you're a moslem doesn't automatically mean that Muslims constitute any significant population in Edo State apart from Auchi and a few of its surrounding communities.

Princefame1:
EDo north is dominated by muslims, in other parts of d state muslims are d minority...

BUSHHUNTER:
Yeah but I know we have majority of muslims

Beautiful couple
Fairytale wedding

Inflation rendered them worthless. How sad!

But still can't imagine having to burden my pocket with some coins added to my phones.

Dejohnbull:
Hausa/fulani moslems will keep on raping his wife, childrens, mothers, kill his elders, men, youths, and boys in plateau for leading same moslems against fellow christians in the zoo. God bless Biafra

Gowon had no choice. His people, who are the christian minority in the north, would'av been totally wiped out by now if the exit of igbos had led to the disintegration of Nigeria in line with the structural make-up of the nation at that time.

apeoyemojo:
Fayose is a rascal simolybcos he refused to support the despotic Buhari? You have no conscience

It's not about his refusal to support Buhari, but his despotic acts and antecedents...which are subject for another debate.

meforyou1:
the 5 southern eastern states will form the nation.

Your brethren will disagree.

Yet, are the igbos better-off living in a united Nigeria than in their biafra?

Politicians with their lofty dreams and choice of words.
Interestingly, with a rascal and serial offender like Fayose occupying the governorship seat of the state, such crazy prediction becomes less amusing.

meforyou1:
Gowon is a cow. That's why fulanis are having a field day decimating his people in plateau

Do you think ibos are better-off living in a united Nigeria, or in a "Biafra", even if it was created as a strictly ibo nation or by forcefully massing other unwilling ND/SS ethnic nationalities?

Why is this man tribalizing Gowon's speech? I see nothing anti-igbo in that account.
When has the mention of ojukwu in any statement become anti-igbo?

Talking about old wounds, what is their purpose of establishing radio biafra? I guess it's for national unity and reconciliation.

A former Minister of Health and member of the Ime-obi (inner caucus) of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Prof. ABC Nwosu, on Friday, faulted the claim by a former military Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon, that the leader of the defunct Biafra, the late Chukwuemeka Ojukwu, underestimated him by thinking that he (Gowon) would never go to war.
Gowon, who led Nigeria during the Nigerian Civil war, which took place between 1967 to 1970, spoke at the Diamond Jubilee Lecture of the Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria in Lagos on Thursday.
According to the former Head of State, Ojukwu, who was the then Premier of the Eastern Region, had thought his (Gowon’s) ‘born-again’ Christian disposition would allow the region to secede from Nigeria without consequences.
“During the crisis, my colleague and brother, Emeka Ojukwu, said, ‘We know Gen. Gowon, he is a Christian and he would not like to fight. Do you know the first thing he put in his suitcase? His Bible; and that will make him not to engage in a fight’. I think, unfortunately, he was proved wrong,” Gowon had said.
But, reacting to Gowon’s statement, Nwosu described the former military head of state’s comments as “ungentlemanly”, and anti-Igbo.
Describing Gowon’s comments as appalling and naive, Nwosu said it was an attempt to demonise Ojukwu after his death.
The former minister noted that Gowon underestimated Ojukwu’s capacity to resist the federal troops for a long period of time.
He pointed out that Gowon’s comments did not correspond with the accounts of other major actors in the events that precipitated the Civil War.
Nwosu said, “I wish to express my growing concern over attempts to demonise Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, who died more than three years ago.
“These posthumous comments on Ojukwu are at best ungentlemanly and anti-Igbo. Ndigbo don’t speak of the dead flippantly.
“The latest comment by General Yakubu Gowon, which was published on May 15, 2015 – this statement that Ojukwu never imagined that he would go to war because he was a born-again Christian is appalling  and naive.
“Did the General not also underestimate Ojukwu and Biafra? The book by General Alabi-Isama tells a different story.”
Nwosu added that Gowon’s opinion on the Aburi Accord was also contrary to the views of Ndigbo and Ojukwu on the same subject.
“Ndigbo worldwide share this my concern because earlier, General Gowon has given his opinion on the Aburi Accord, which differs completely with the opinion of Ndigbo and Ojukwu on the same Aburi Accord.
“There are always two sides to a story and fairness demands that the two sides should always be weighed side by side,” he said.
Nwosu advised Gowon and others, who played key roles during the period, to let the sleeping dog lie by avoiding comments on the Civil War.
He stressed that Igbos still had bad memories from the period, which he described as an era of massacres, pogroms and civil war.

Some whining.

It coulda be good to "counter-colonise" Britain.

...But we'll do that some other time.
