The man who plunged Nigeria into its current mess by going against a pact he was signatory to just because some Northern elders advised him otherwise..

A corrupt miserable lot

Why did you have to lie? Ojukwu was the one that went against the pact and showed great disrespect for his superiors including the head of state

May his soul rip. He served God at the twilight of his life. Nigeria history cannot be completed without Gen Gowon.

May his soul be eternally damned in the hottest part of abyss for the murder of 3 million Biafran women and children.

His people are being butchered day and night by the fulanis that sent him to kill Biafrans.

This man is neither hausa nor Muslim, but this man was the one who orchestrated the killings of millions of biafrans.
They don't hate gowon atall, they don't hate olusegun obasanjo that was gowon right hand man during the war.
Obj was so good and consistent he kept supplying the soldiers weapons and food while they ravage the innocent people of biafra.
Ty danjuma from taraba led the killing of aguyi irons.
They don't hate these guys but they hate every hausa and fulani who played the weakest role during the civil war.
It's a shame people are afraid of their oppressors.

Lies from the stables of IPOB cannibals.

Ojukwu was responsible for the death of his people because of his needless and avoidable war
Re: Former Head Of State General Yakubu Gowon Dies At 89 by bjtinz: 7:27pm On Oct 09, 2023
Tried checking and the only Gowon reported dead few days ago was the former VC of Niger Delta uni, Prof Gowon, not the former Nigerian leader.

Hope OP is not is not confusing them
