I wished he truly United Nigeria as they now want us to believe.

He should have handed over government to your people abi?

Really?
Maybe Dan Agbese lived at a different time and planet.
But we see him as an illiterate who went to Aburi and was oblivious of his environment. The issues discussed was above his head only to come back to renege and plunged the country into avoidable bloodletting.

A stooge of the British/Fulani who ended up as the worst genocide perpetrator in Saharan Africa cos of oil.

kenex4ever:
Alex Oti is by far a better governor than your best governor in southwest especially when it comes to managing what you have and not taxing people from their nose. Upon all the tax lagos is collecting, it's still has a poor road network.

If the whole Nigeria plus Foreign aid fight against yoruba they will be diminished to nothing.

I am from Rivers state.
Alex was never better than any Governor in my state

People underestimate deepsight, but for a man to have such a high bodycount, he is very impressive

Lexy2014 is one of his notches too.

What a man.

UCyril:
Eastern region would've been one of the most developed country in the world , if not for the war ...
People who benefited from the war should praise him.
Leave others alone

Always lamenting and claim marginalization. How many years after the war that you are still Trooping to Lagos

He didn't save Nigeria, he saved the North. The suffering in the North would have been worse than that of South Sudan or Burundi

Fulanis are celebrating him in Plateau
What else does he want?

Iamanoited:
THE GLORY OF NIGERIA TODAY EMANATE FROM GOWON.
GOWON GAVE OBASANJO THE DISCERNMENT TO SHINE, LIFT UP AND LIVE FOR NIGERIA.
MAY GOD -GRAND ORDER DOMINION BLESS AND KEEP GOWON OBASANJO DANJUMA FOR NIGERIA FOREVER.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GOWON.

He basically made England richer while making Black NIGGERS poorer LOL

Today he finds it difficult to move around the middle belt with herdsmen everywhere LOL

You can try to put lipstick on your donkey….but it remains an A.SS LOL

He didn't save anything. He was only dancing to the tune of our colonial masters. How I wish he allowed the Igbos to go!!! On the other hand, my fellow Yoruba brothers didn't use their brains well; they became errand boys to the North and fought a meaningless war. Can you see where we are today! What could have been the best opportunity to undo the evil our colonial masters implemented for us was rather used to destroy ourselves. Let the amalgamation and suffering continue while our leaders keep running errands for the Brtits, Americans and the IMF. Our mumu never do.

This Dan Agbese has submitted rubbish. When has this country ever been united? Gowon and Co were clueless on how to develop this country, they were always lavishing oil money on women and parties at Dodan Barracks then. Gowon said Nigeria problem was not money but how to spend the money was the problem. They were young officers without experience on how to govern a country. So, no writer should come out and be comparing him with George Washington.

I got the gist now
It means that Gowon saved both from being a beautiful nation

This journalist should go read about the Abure accord. If that agreement had not been broken, perhaps this country would have taken another trajectory course to a more developed and stable country.

He saved NIGERIA to what end? So we can be at the level we are today after almost how many years of independence?

Rubbish!

gowon is a very selfish man

It was Gen Gowon that Stood between Ipob forefathers and being wiped off the map

Even Ojukwu didn’t wait to see how what he started would end

It was only because God still loved their Ancestors that it was the Merciful Gen Gowon who

took their Surrender and not the enraged Muritala Mohamed


Rwanda would have been like only Kindergarten

It was the God fearing Gen Gowon who held back the Hawks

Gowon saved Nigeria from what exactly.

Always blaming people for ur failure.
The war u caused ended like 60yrs ago, yet eastern region always produce the most incompetent governors every election cycle.
Abia state is still struggling to pay 18k minimum wage while some states have approved 85k

Oga try and have sense. The first shot that heralded rhe war was caused by Nigerian army at Gakem in Ogoja.

Golan007:
War they caused, and as expected, lost abi?

You don't have sense sha. Nigeria caused the war not Eastern region and not the igbos. Also let us look at it from this angle what have you done with the victory? Is Nigeria better? Or has the country not gone to the dogs? Some years back the same Gowon expressed regrets for state creation saying that it has divided Nigeria rather than uniting it.

IpobAntidote:
Pls stop posting jokes.
Too many clowns 🤡 on NL.

You are the clown actually.

olyrayy:
Of course. And yet, Igbo states are unremarkable.

Which state is remarkable? Is it Lagos that is far behind its peers in Africa?

Realtruth2023:

Ok, but does that change the fact that Abia is struggling to pay 18k minimum wage

richmond500:

Is Rivers better off? With black soot everywhere? Oga Nigeria has gone to the dogs. You guys in SS are the most ignorant and foolish people ever, they told you igbos who you have lived and coexisted with for centuries are your enemies because of oil and you agreed. You claimed igbos marginalised you, but there has never been any evidence that showed they did. Your oil is being mined and your environment is being devastated and desecrated. Whereas in the North they are mining gold and making money off it, see how foolish you guys are, all in the name of hating on igbos.

Krankhead:

Can you bring statistical data to prove that?

And trust me the perpetrators would have been executed via firing squad like their Rwandan counterparts by the ICC. Like what you are drumming for now. Trust me it will happen to you.

richmond500:

But Alex Otti has already commenced the process of paying new minimum wage? Why is your hatred of igbos not making you have sense?

His generation should be ashamed of themselves!
After ‘saving’ Nigeria, what did they do? They created a shithole!!

What he said is nothing but the truth! Igboland would have been highly developed so also other southern regions. Gowon foolishly destroyed the emancipation of blackman from the colonizers. War that was already settled by African people (OAU) in Aburi only for him go to back amd listen to the British who wanted the resources of the country. What they proposed isn't it what's in place in UK? Scotland, Wales, GBR & Norther Ireland though part of the union still independent and even economically viable. Igbos have been far head mentally that the rest of other tribes in naija & that's because they are a very old civilization

Realtruth2023:

The ICC doesn’t have Capital Punishment

And Ojukwu committed Genocide in the Midwest

Every non Biafran theyy saw between Ore in the West and Agbor was shot dead during the Biafran soldiers Wiithdrawal


Abudu a Muslim village on the route had almost all its population slaughtered


Ojukwu’s Soldiers on reaching Agbor again slaughtered every non Biafran they could find

Someone that cannot save his people from the rampaging Fulani headers and bandits?

Make una getat!!!

What have you done since you lost?

Yeah, he saved Nigeria from prosperity, stability, and unity!

His impressive achievement includes:

- The Biafran War: a masterclass in conflict management (3 million lives lost, but who's counting?)
- Gowonomics: Give all Igbos a shameless and paltry £20. If they were right about being independent, let them turn it to something let's see.
- Infrastructure development: bombed roads, bridges, and buildings (a legacy of his innovative "let it rot" policy)
- Education and healthcare: because who needs those fancy "schools" and "hospitals" anyway when everywhere is bombed and folks have kwashiorkor and influenza?
- Corruption: It was his govt that set the standard and template for corruption and nepotism in Nigeria.

So yeah, all that Nigeria could have been, Gowon saved Nigeria from them and look where we are today. At this stage in our nationhood, we're still proud of a Netanyahu of the past.
