I laugh when I hear people thanking Gowon for abolishing the 4 Region's Nigeria had and creating states. These people think it was for their benefit but they are yet to understand that it was for the benefit of Gowon and his fellow Northern cohorts

These people never bothered to read the Decrees Gowon used in creating states to realise that Gowon not only gave the North half of the states he created, but that Gowon also abolished resource control and placed all resources in the hands of the Federal government. Gowon gave you states but took control of your resources, what's the point?

As for the war, These people do not also realise that it was Gowon who broke the peace agreement him and Ojukwu signed in Aburi, Ghana, which led to war

Ignorance is a terrible disease

These guys are trying there best to make igbos angry. I guess they miss the fun they had. I will advice any igbo person to resist the urge to engage with post it's a trap

gidgiddy:
Ironsi abolished resource control? Who told yoy that? That's the many lies they have told

Gowon abolished resource control with Decree 15, use Google and confirm rather than talk ignorantly

They are so foolish they didn't realise that the fulanis used gowon, his people and the Yorubas as a puppet to capture Nigeria.

In May 1966, General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi (Ironside, Nigeria’s first military head of state promulgated the infamous
Decree No. 34 of 1966, the “unification decree.” The decree effectively did away with the federal system of government practiced by Nigeria since its independence from British colonial rule in 1960.

Ironsi made the Decree and Gowon established it. They're birds of a feather from different region.

Paraman:
Gowon did didn't abolish resource control, it was Ironsi who abolished the powers of the regions(states).

And stop crying on behalf of those people. They don't want to be part of Igbo land.

Go back to history class and learn. I did pub admin in school, I can tell you this one thing that is fact. Na ironsi.

If you doubt go back n check. Though it was initially a noble move which was hijack by northerns

kikake:
Celebrating a man who reneged on the Aburi Accord he signed in the presence of another Head of State? The renegade man's action caused the untimely deaths of more than 3 million of his country people, mostly children.
Only empty heads would celebrate Gowon.

Everybody are trying their best to "make igbos angry" --- Na only una dey

gidgiddy:
That same Gowon that was creating states, fighting war to keep Nigeria one, cannot sleep in his local government in Plateau State due to armed bandits

The so called Brac should also ask themselves why they had to form various armed militant groups and fight federal government for many years if the Nigeria Gowon gave them was the best

The BRAC states have spoken.

IPOB can respond to this message.
