Crazy man He send zoo soldiers to kill and maim innocent Biafrans, rape our mothers and grandmothers, thousands of children died of starvation in the lasting civil war that left a great vacuum in our hearts and history He forced us to remain in this contraption called Nigeria. May his remaining days be darker, may he never find rest the after life, and may his generations to come never find peace on the surface of this earth. We shall tell these stories to our generations 52 Likes 3 Shares |

The man that made Nigeria remain one. Because of him, there are millions of Igbos in the Southwest and North. Not living as aliens but as Nigerians, making billions and making a difference. May you live longer Uncle Jack. God bless Nigeria. 32 Likes 3 Shares

Only in a zoo shall a man who committed the most heinous genocide against the indigenous people is celebrated. Someone who suppose to be in jail for a war crime. Crime against humanity. I wish you unhappy birthday and I hope that you and your generation kiss my multi-racial behind while you burn in hell for all I care. 22 Likes 2 Shares |

kettykin:He is actually, only way older and above dem in military hierarchy. Those 2 no be him set. You think say e easy to win a war as a sitting Head of State? As he dey so, he did what no other Head of State alive or dead did, he led and won a war for Nigeria. He is already immortalised and will one day be on a national currency. It's because he still dey alive dem never do am. Gen Gowon na a global icon and national legion. 28 Likes 1 Share |
