Christistruth02:Your lies are legendary, Nigeria is currently the only current nation without history in its academic curriculum in its school system, unfortunately you won't understand the rationale behind this, to keep the truth from ignorant folks like you. |

No he didn't because look at were we are today.... |

Realtruth2023:He's not paying it yet, he's still forming harmonization committees for something his colleagues has rolled out. When he starts implementing it like other governors, you can defend him. |

Christistruth02:The guy that brought out the claim stated that the biafran troops killed People in Ore and Midwest in September, but the truth was Midwest was rud of every biafran by August. Up till now no concrete evidence was brought up there is a difference between indiscretion of officers and a well thought out and planned genocide. Bro stop the lies abeg. |
| Re: People Underestimate Gowon, But He Saved Nigeria, Veteran Journalist Says by Realtruth2023: 7:44pm On Oct 19, 2024 |
Christistruth02:Even those who claimed biafrans slaughtered people in Abudu couldn't even correlate the dates accurately which showed that their statements were concocted. |

Akinpresident:You don't just wake up and say you want to start. There has to be a committee to plan. This was what Gowon did with the Udoji committee in the 70s. Oga park well and have sense. |

Realtruth2023:A fool talking. This man said he'd be the first to pay the minimum wage agreed between Labour and FG. When you make such claim, what do you do? You set things on motion. You form those committees and involve all stakeholders so that once the new wage is announced, you start implementation. What was he doing when Edo state started paying the new wage? Edo is far. Ebonyi state is paying the new wage. For something approved in July, it's in October that he's setting up committee for implementation. So why lamba civil servants that he'd be the first to pay? Of course he did that as a cover up for not paying any wage award his colleagues were paying since last year. How can one man single himself out to be the only person not paying his workers wage award in the entire country when there's enough resources to do that? |

Akinpresident:When I didn't expect a fool like you to understand. Minimum wage increment when increment takes a lot of planning, even in corporate organisation you plan salary increment. How many have actually started paying the new minimum wage apart from the media noise they are doing. |

Had it been Gowon stand in Abure agreement? Eastern region wouldn't have been like this..the marginalisation is visible to the blind |

Man102:One of criminals that prevent us from getting independent, if not him the fraud called Nigeria will be history but he play vital role in keeping us as one country. I'm sure igbos will be great if are not part of Nigeria like wise Yuroba land it will greater than its today and North will be greatest than all the other regions. May God punish Gowon for this crime he committed |

Celebrate him for what, if Gowon implemented Aburi peace accord there won’t be any civil war. |
| Re: People Underestimate Gowon, But He Saved Nigeria, Veteran Journalist Says by Akinpresident: 8:30pm On Oct 19, 2024 |
Realtruth2023:😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Exactly! This is what's bereft of the supporters of that wicked lilliputian emperor. He invests in media abracadabra that doesn't tally with reality on ground and now you guys think it's same other places. Sorry man, it's not. Edo is the first to pay the minimum wage. Others too have started. Ebonyi is the first in South East followed by Imo. They don't play with their citizens the way your greedy and wicked Aro-Nvosi god do. |

Saved Nigeria for what purpose? Should it not be better in the reverse? |
| Re: People Underestimate Gowon, But He Saved Nigeria, Veteran Journalist Says by Donake: 8:36pm On Oct 19, 2024 |
Whether the igbos spearheaded a coup or not,the war was always bound to happen. In 1939 there were riots targeted at igbos in the north and so the political unrest was used as an excuse to cause mayhem and curtail the only tribe who knew the antic of the deserters better than the rest blinded tribes who taught the igbos were the problem. Fast forward to hear 2000 his people and those of the middle belt are targets for annihilation. Same people they fought alongside the 60s. Is it the igbos that manipulated the crises in Niger,Plateau,Venue,Taraba,Adamawa,Bauchi,Gombe against the locals? Say something different from what your forefathers were told. richmond500: |
| Re: People Underestimate Gowon, But He Saved Nigeria, Veteran Journalist Says by Donake: 8:38pm On Oct 19, 2024 |
Say that again. The igbos were the problem yet didn't rule and would never rule. The intent of the civil war was to keep the nation United and prosperous. What is the essence of the civil war if the country is this balkanized and primordial. vRendoh: |

How did the old FOOL save Nigeria? If he loves Nigeria so much and did everything to keep it as one, why the 4uck he had to run to the UK? If his one Nigeria is that great, why NOT stay and enjoy it with the rest of the people he made to believe in his hopeless and useless Nigeria? I wonder why none of the brown envelope journalists had ever asked him why he reneged on Aburi. |

“He did not punish the people who took arms against their country, rather reabsorbed them into the armed forces. I do not think there would be anybody else like him,” Agbese noted. Wetin this one they talk or he has forgotten hos history classes. .who fired the first shot? |

Gowon saved Nigeria but lost Plateau . |
| Re: People Underestimate Gowon, But He Saved Nigeria, Veteran Journalist Says by crossbreedwears(m): 9:08pm On Oct 19, 2024 |
Go and charge him na! How can a senior officer talks down on his superior who happened to be the Head of state and also threatened to cause war. If you were in Gowon's situation, what would you have done? Ringstonermask: |

Saved Nigeria from what? It was a great disservice....we would all have been on our own by now. |

Golan007:You just validated my statement that he did not unite Nigeria. "your people vs my people" in a united Nation is an aberration. |
| Re: People Underestimate Gowon, But He Saved Nigeria, Veteran Journalist Says by fuelsaver: 9:25pm On Oct 19, 2024 |
Man102:Are you now enjoying the Nigeria your Gowon saved? Yes or no! Don't try saving what jesus has refused to save. It will amount to Colossal waste. Even 90% of Nigerians are not happy. Only those milking Nigeria dry are craving for one Nigeria like Britain and their Nigerian agents in the religious and political circles |
| Re: People Underestimate Gowon, But He Saved Nigeria, Veteran Journalist Says by kettykin: 9:26pm On Oct 19, 2024 |
So Gowon saved Nigeria but lost Plateau . Nigeria is the biggest comedy in the history of mankind. |

Guide777:George Washington fought for the independence of America from its colonial masters,while gowon forcefully united the country for their own selfish and tribal agenda with genocide and violence,the peace treaty he signed with col ojukwu in aburi1966 could have been the best for Nigeria but he later choose war and genocide than peace,is it not the same vision of col ojukwu has then is what Nigeria is clamoring for now,he famously said in aburi that it will be better if the country will slightly separate than come too closer and perish in the collision,this man saw this 60 years ago what some are just seeing now, Nigeria will never develop its full potential if we still continue on this status quo |

Scorpion (late brig gen adekunle) Obasanjo Late maj gen agbazika innih These were the key people who saved Nigeria at the battle front returning fire for fire , the best soldiers who did the most died in battle. Watch your statement, some Nigerians were privileged to meet the men behind the firefights |

Akinpresident:Again you don't have sense. Setting up a committee to plan and pay salaries in such a way that you ensure you cash flow as a state is working is no crime. But alas you have no sense to figure it out. |
| Re: People Underestimate Gowon, But He Saved Nigeria, Veteran Journalist Says by travelzcruix: 3:31am On Oct 20, 2024 |
Saved? Or fought for the interest of his slave masters? Now Gowon, I put it to you, deep down your heart, are u proud of this forced and ungovernable entity? |
