When your biafra soldeirs went about killing leaders of other regions except your region, you expected the northerners to path on your back for a job well done? Gowon is a big clown definitely but you should accept responsibility for the result of your actions.

The youngest Nigerian military Head of State, but he supervised the genocide of the Nigerian state against the East. Yet Gowon and TY Danjuma are not confessing their atrocities in the events of 1966 that have landed Nigeria where it is today.

This one is cursed. Has anyone in your generation lived to GOWON's age?

You must be suffering from generational inherited psychiatric disorders

That is why Ojukwu is now rotten in hell for being responsible for the deaths of over 2 million Children and women before running away to Abidjan with his family during the senseless civil war

You cannot suppress the Igbo in you.

You see why those that want Nigeria to progress have to avoid giving critical roles to those who only love Nigeria when they are the ones ruling.

See example below.

Very cunning patriots.

They have confessed their victory, while the other side confessed their unconditional surrender.

The expected outcome of war and not Olympic games.

Re: Happy 89th Birthday To General Gowon. See This 50-Year Throwback Newspaper by gidgiddy:
Im happy he is alive but can no longer visit his own local government in Plateau State that has been overrun by bandits

Im happy he is alive to see his "one Nigeria" become the monumental disaster it is today

Im happy he lived long enough to see the failure of Nigeria of today, and realise that Ojukwu was right to make a break for freedom

Gowon, you said "one Nigeria" is the best. Today, how market?
