The only legacy of Gowon is Nigeria Biafra war that he badly mismanaged.
Anytime you give him mic he will forget the program of the day and start talking about the war.

You are right.

The war should have ended the minute the SS was liberated by Col Adekunle and your Ibo Biafra partitioned out of Nigeria.

Instead, Gowon , still having a bleeding heart for his Ibo girlfriend that left him to join Ojukwu's Biafra , decided to continue the war to bring you guys back.

Now this ought to have still saw the war come to a halt latest December 1968 but Gowon replaced Adekunle with the buffon Obasanjo who made the War drag on for another 2ys.

Other than that, I think he did very well.

gidgiddy:
I don't think you have worry much. All that is happening now, the insecurity, the economic downturn and the disunity are all pointers that Nigeria is heading down no other road than that of collapse and disintegration

Nigeria will collapse and disintegrate just like USSR, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia all did, and everyone can finally go their way and stop this head we have been giving each other since 1960 .

You know it's really funny that you are now praying for Nigeria's total collapse before you get your useless Biafra.

Even if Nigeria collapses this moment, I want you to heed this very warning that your useless cannibal Republic is limited to your 5 contiguous Ibo states and not an inch more.

Any attempt at recreating the madness of annexing the SS will see to your entire Biafra raised to the ground with not a blade of grass spared.

gidgiddy:
The short version:

1. Gowon changed the structural arrangement of Nigeria by abolishing the Region's, and creating states

2. Gowon introduced unitary rule by abolishing resource control

3. Gowon caused the civil war by breaking the Aburi agreement

4. Gowons 9 years in power marked the period Nigeria earned the most from oil, yet had nothing to show for it

The long version:

Gowon came to power in early early August 1966 when Northern elements of the Nigerian Army staged a military coup that claimed over 300 lives. However, the Eastern Region's Military Governor,
Lt Colonel Ojukwu, refused to recognise him as head of state, stating that the most senior officer of the time and chief of general staff , Brigadier Ogundipe, should take over.

Because the 4 Regions of the time controlled their resources, and were financially independent of the federal government, Gowon was forced to meet Ojukwu in a neutral territory outside Nigeria. They met in Aburi, Ghana, where Ojukwu pledged keep the unity of Nigeria and recognise Gowon as head of State, as long as certain conditions were met.

One of the 12 conditions Gowon agreed and signed to(that would be later known as the Aburi agreement or accord), was that during the period of Military rule, Gowon would not change the structural arrangement of Nigeria. This ensured that the 4 Region's maintained their financial independence of the Federal government Without fear that any Region would dominate the other through the centre

However, within weeks of returning to Nigeria, Gowon broke the agreement he signed by enacting Decree 14, which abolished the 4 Region's, and replaced them with 12 brand new states, half of which went to the North. Gowon followed this up with Decree 15 that abolished resource control,and made the newly created states financially dependent on the federal government. Subsequent military dictators would continue this trend until Nigeria had 36 states

With the Aburi accord broken, Ojukwu had no other choice but to declare the Eastern Region The Republic of Biafra, and war followed.

After the war, Gowons government saw the largest oil boom era in the history of Nigeria. However, Gowons administration was riddled with massive corruption, financial recklessness, cronyism and poor judgment which led to future economic disaster

Gowon did not fight to keep Nigeria one, he fought to make the North masters of Nigeria. Had Gowon wanted to keep Nigeria one, he would have kept to the agreement he signed in Ghana. But he could not keep to the agreement because it prevented him and his fellow Northerners from taking control of Nigeria

There is nothing to celebrate about Gowon, he was just a military dictator, war monger and a terrible administrator.

Rubbish.

Nigeria's problems are you Ibos and nothing else.

Your write up is filled with your usual lame lies.

I have said my own and that is that you Ibos are the architects of Nigeria's failure brought about by your greed.

And don't tell me to do advocacy for your useless Biafra . You of all people know I will not hesitate to drive you all out if it was down to me. Go and arrange yourselves in your yeast and come and tell Nigerians with one voice and action that you want out and see if anyone will stop you.

Salewa97:
LP, the party that promote regionalism and tribalism.

They are now reaping what they have been sowing

You are wrong.

LP under its current hijacked state is totally against regionalism.

It is however a special purpose vehicle catered to restore Zikism aka Afro Marxism and elevate Ibos as Nigeria's supreme rulers.

Only a fool will not have seen that LP was a tribal movement masked as a nationalist one.

GothamCities:
That's not what we're discussing please.

What's the oppression you're talking about? Oppression of the same people who always shout "Death to Israel!" Oppression of the same people who have it in their constitution to keep fighting until Israel is wiped off the face of the earth? Please tell me who is oppressing who? It's oppression because Israel resisted their terror. Isn't it?

So you decide to overlook 75ys of Israeli oppression and terrorism on Palestinians?

Go and do a research on how the Zionist entity was formed by an invasive specie of European Jews.

GothamCities:
That's according to you. Or were you actually with him to know the?

The man led a hard life and died fighting for one thing only : the liberation of his people from the oppressive shackles of the Zionist occupiers.

I know you are used to the Ekpa and Kanu style of using SM to brainwash you but this warrior had an old school approach that involved a hands-on-approach : fight the Zionists out of their land.

Smartcitizen:
And Tinubu is the president now and you and your family is suffering his policies, I wonder why we should even be remembering Peter Obi and what he did in Anambra State at this terrible time.

If this is not a misplaced priority I wonder what it is?

You have never started suffering because when you do, you will learn the right thing to do at any given time.

Stop projecting your failures on others.
I am not suffering and yes Tinubu is president but that does not give Obi carte blanche to start forming saint that he isn't and will never be

GothamCities:
If if he didn't care, what about his organizations? Since he never debunked the claim, any argument to the contrary is an assumption.

Sinwar is not your typical poster boy narcissist.

The man had no time countering IDF propaganda when he was out there shooting and blowing up IDF goons

Anither563:
The masked men are probably the police, but the way they have been portrayed as "masked men" is sensational and misleading.

Why avoid the fact that the LP faction that had their members whisked away fingered Alex Otti as the one behind the abduction ?

Why?

Newsmills:
This is normal nigerian plotlitics

It's now normal thing because it's obviously coming from the LP govt in Abia.

You see your life.

Just one state and they are showing their tyrannical disposition.

Imagine that Comrade Obi in his Mao outfit won the elections, the likes of James Nwafor woukd have resurfaced .

SadiqBabaSani:
AlQaeda is sponsored by yisrael rumours say

Al Qaeda was founded by a CIA contractor aka bin Laden

The Shiite -Sunni debacle is at play here.

HelloHelloagain:
Helinues you Dey feel am?

Am yisrael chai 😂😂😂😂😂🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱

Proud 0su Zionist kponkwem !



Al Qaeda calls on Hamas to release the Israeli hostages.

The announcement was made yesterday by Abu Walid al-Masri, a senior advisor and father-in-law of Saif al-Adel, the leader of Al-Qaeda.

Even ISIS aka Mossad declared war on both Hamas and Hezbollah.

Why? Because Isis is Mossad and Al Qaeda has always been CIA.

Why not start praising Saudi as well because the govt there is now hunting down and arresting any of their citizens who critisizes Israel online .


When we tell you BH is CIA/MI6/Mossad you go dey foam for mouth.

GothamCities:
But I'm not discussing this. We don't expect them to be omniscient.


He should have been the one to say this by himself while he was still alive.


We don't expect them to know everything.



Yes, you're right about Elkpa but you're wrong by saying IDF lied. If they hadi lied, Sinwar would have debunked the lies when they were told. Even you yourself never faulted the claim until his was seen to have died in war. It could be that the only day he decided to come out of his hole was the day he became unfortunate. That's my point

And why should Sinwar care about Mossad propaganda ?

Why counter them?

The man spent 22ys in an Israeli prison and was known as a very disciplined and focused individual so much so that Shinnbet and Mossad attempted to block his release.

GothamCities:
You're not getting my point.

My point is that the IDF have seen that he hides after trying to trail him for months. That doesn't mean he hides all the time. That's not possible. He'll be coming out occasionally to fight, but this time around , the time he chose was a bad time.

And what I am getting at is that his death did not occur due to some Mossad wizardry in tracking down their targets.

Sinwar was out there every other day engaging the IDF goons.

The Israelis did not phantom this and thought he was holed up in one of the extensive tunnels .

The IDF even issued what is now apparently a pure lie that Sinwar was holed up in a tunnel with all the hostages surrounding him with the entire place rigged with explosives - a typical scene you will get from a Jewish Hollywood movie depicting the bad guy as a raving lunatic ready to blow shit up. But this was never the case with Sinwar. He was out there killing IDF and blowing up their tanks . This is not something you get with your typical leader. Ekpa for example is indulging in all the seven deadly sins in the comfort and safety of Finland and his fat wife's ass while directing idiots to kill their fellow kinsmen for not obeying his sit at home order from Finland.

Obaranje:
again you are wrong no one is waiting for his capture but rather his elimination as he has been declared a dead man walking already

Story.

The IDF were looking to recreate their own Saddam Capture moment with Sinwar .

It would have boosted Satanyahu (at least among the fundamentalist Zionist lunatics) and gave a large moral boost to IDF while giving Jewish liars in the media content to push the invicibility of their IDF and Mossad goons.

Smartcitizen:
Only in Nigeria you see people stressing their energy attacking the man who is not in power instead of holding the man the claim the voted for.


Nigerians has not started suffering because when they start, they will learn that democracy is all about holding the ruling party to fulfill their electoral promises.

And you did not counter the fact that Obi was caught red handed moving Anambra state funds by road to his office in Lagos.

The issue here is how Obi keeps going about pontificating rubbish about corruption and bad leadership when he is also plagued with a legacy of corruption and bad leadership when he was in office.

Bottom line is Obi was a terrible , wicked and corrupt governor and so he should stop preaching to us.

GothamCities:
I know you would retort to insults, it's your way. Where are the videos? I didn't ask you for explanations about what happened in one day. Sinwar was supposed to be at the forefront everyday, wasn't he? When the IDF made the claim concerning him, why didn't he deny and debunk the claims if indeed they were lies told against him?

What I related to you here was what the Washington Journal carried as their exclusive headline yesterday and it was based on the official IDF narration of how they mistakenly stumbled upon and took out Sinwar without even knowing it was him.

GothamCities:
Leading battle from inside the base of a building? IDF showed us videos of him surrounded by hostages as he was running through a tunnel. Can you show us videos of Sinwar leading the battle from the Frontlines?

Idiot , this is urban warfare at its most extreme.

Sinwar and his men took cover in an already dilapidated building after being spotted by IDF goons.
From there a fire fight ensued and the Israelis attempted to storm the building with ground troops but we're repelled by Sinwar and his men. This is the official IDF narrative of the encounter. The IDF ground commander then ordered the building to be shelled by Tanks. Sinwar barely survived the barrage but three of his men died from it. It's at this point the IDF dispatched a drone to assess the damage and there we got that iconic stare down from Sinwar huddled on a chair, barely alive, with a missing arm and covered in dust.

The Israelis will later shell the building again for extra measure and that's how Sinwar was taken out.

The IDF could not identify it was him until they moved into the building and removed the traditional Palestinian head scarf he had on.

Now do you think the IDF will shell the building if they knew it was Sinwar ? The answer is a simple no as they would do all they can to have him captured to boost Satanyahu's dead popularity and that of the IDF's moral levels.

Crook claiming Saint.

GothamCities:
So, how does this counter the fact? They thought he was somewhere else he used to be, but the day of judgement made him loose guard.

Spewing incoherent trash .

Sinwar was actively leading the battle against IDF in Gaza and not holed up Una bunker as earlier stated by Mossad.

Now that it was clear that he was actively engaging the Sodomite terrorists , Mossad now says they intercepted him trying to flee from Gaza .


If the IDF knew they had Sinwar cornered , they won't have shelled the building but do all they can to have him captured alive.

Oilwell:
The only story you guys have been sharing up and down on nairaland is this 250M story. So since 2009 (13 years now) the imaginary money Peter stole and moved from anambra to lagos state has been on investigation yet not report or results on it after 13 solid years. You guys can do better na. no propaganda can make us change our minds

Keep digging guys you will soon find something that EFCC , ICPC and Nigerian Police did not find after 8+ plus years of digging.

Peter Obi 2023 . We can't continue this way.

Because that's the only public position he held and he set a record as a common thief and embezzler of state funds .

GothamCities:
Would he be with hostages and Hunan shield 24/7? The enemy that wanted to annihilate him quietly watched and waited for his most vulnerable moment. You should understand that. There was a video that showed him moving in a tunnel with at least 20 hostages around him. This is not a matter of "they said". It was proven.

It's been said by even the IDF that took him out that they came under attack by four Palestinian militants.

Mossad did not have a clue and the IDF did not even know it was him or else they won't have shelled the building but would have stormed it to capture him alive.

Use brain.

Llight101:
Someone that was fleeing? Baba was about leaving Gaza

Story.

This is the latest Mossad attempt in trying to undo their gaffe of releasing the video of Sinwar which has shown the world he was a defiant warrior .

Mossad is now trying to halt Sinwar being a martyr by claiming he was fleeing .

Bullshit.

This comes against all the rubbish said by Mossad that Sinwar was hiding in a tunnel surrounded by the hostages and with hundreds of explosives rigged to blow of the IDF stormed his location.

Contrary to this narrative , Sinwar was not holed up in a tunnel but was actively leading attacks on IDF positions in Gaza.

This is bad ass shit because this is the first time the equivalent of a world leader is actually fighting in battle and the Jews hate this as it only fuels Sinwar to martyrdom and warrior status.
