Gowon should stop lying to Nigerians, the records are there. Regional Army was agreed at Aburi, and it was agreed that the Regional Armies would be under the control of the Regional Military Governors

You signed the agreement, only to return to Nigeria, realised that what you signed gave a lot of powers to Regions, then went back on the agreement

You invited Ojukwu to the Midwest meeting knowing fully well that Ojukwu was not safe there, but Ojukwu sent Phillip Effiong to represent him.

You then completely broke the Aburi agreement with Decree 14 that dissolved the 4 Regions, and created 12 new states to replace them

To add insult to injury, you immediately enacted Decree 15 that abolished resource control

Gowon, you caused the war by breaking the Aburi agreement you signed with Ojukwu, just because you and your fellow Northerners wanted control of Nigeria

Wow this is nice. I never knew u knew this history. But let me add somethings u didn't add. Gowon didn't not cause the war directly. He was ill-advised by the Man who was the most respected royalty in Benin (Oba of Benin) that he Gowon has just given Ojukwu more
power and advised him to cancel the agreement which was already reached/agreed in Ghana between Gowon representing Nigeria and Ojukwu representing the Eastern Region.
Secondly MOST Yoruba's always tell u that the first Nigerian coupe was carried out by an Igbo man but doesn't not know that Major Kaduna Nzeogwu was never an Igbo man, but rather from Delta State which is present day Niger Delta of Nigeria but grew up in Kaduna. That's why when JayJay Okocha was called an Igbo man, he bluntly told reporters that he is not Igbo but rather a Delta Man. Same outburst from Sunday Olise when he was referred to as an Igbo man and the lady that was beaten during voting in Lagos whom they thought was Igbo...

In summar, the war was caused by the Oba of Benin and Major Kaduna Nzeogwu (both Niger Delta). Gowon on the other hand is only doing the obvious which is synonymous to politicians and our Nigerian leaders. Lying to cover more lies. This is why u can hardly find any atom of truth in anything they are doing or anything they preside over. Little wonder everything in our once beloved country is now filled with deceit and more lies ... Nigerian constitution, Nigerian Amalgamation (expired), Nigerian Civil Service, Nigerian Armed forces, Presidency, Executives, INEC, Legislators, Judiciary, etc are riddled with lies. And now it has creeped into the everyday people because they now see it as a symbol of hope!!! I will stop here and focus on the Gospel of Christ which is the purpose why am called.

Shalom!!!

If some people don’t go around to kill other people regional leaders, while their own regional leaders were told to stay outside the country, we wouldn’t have any war in the first place.

They killed other people leaders and destroyed the regional government

True, just read David Ejor Reminiscence and you will fet the full story... All the same that generation all made mistakes on each side, they should just let wounds heal and move on. We should not punish generations for mistakes our fathers made.

God bless u


According to all history books I have read as regards d war.

Gowon never wanted a war n he was very soft in dealing with ojukwu but just like it is happening in present day Nigeria where they are insatiable.

Ojukwu just like Oliver twist wanted more and he believed he could get it, go n read pre war conference n interview granted by ojukwu n u will see he never rated Gowon.

He talked with so much confidence n so much believed he will defeat Gowon in no time

God/Allah bless you. I thought I was the only one seeing it this way. Gowon was too soft for my liking and the arrogance coming from each of Ojukwu’s speeches could be seen from a million miles away; dude was talking and giving conditions like he owned the country.
Which government in his right mind would agree to such ridiculous conditions? Ojukwu was like a governor. Now, imagine one State governor threatening President Tinubu, asking him to relinquish military power to each state. You think the President would just smile and have a friendly handshakes on hearing that?

It was only jesus christ that finally had one accord, and he drove in it the rest na babash.

This would have been the best for us has multi racial nation, Nigeria is a country of nations. The regions will only contribute some quotas to the national government just like a mini NATO . And the killings from all this Fulani herdsmen wouldn't have happened today. Ojukwu is such a a brilliant man.
Regional policing and military power is the best for a country like Nigeria

I am glad he is alive to see how his people are being wiped out by bandits year in year out. I am glad he is alive to see the Nigeria he fought for.... Ain't karma a bitch?

Gowon may keep lying to himself, but no one's buying it

First it was because Ojukwu announced the agreement before you did and now this.


We know what happened and we know what's happening and we know what's gonna happen finally.


What happened

You chickened out because you are a pawn in the hands of the northern oligarchy. When you came back from Ghana and your masters found out that what you signed didn't favor them they asked you to reneged and bring a balless general, you went back to your vomit



What's happening

Your conscience is dealing with you and you are looking for non existing excuse to justify your crime against humanity.


What will happen

You will die a miserable, pained man. The blood of the innocent you killed will continue to hunt and haunt you even after death.

Clueless Gowon.
You should apologize before you go home and join your ancestors.
So today, who is controlling the military?
Is Tinubu a military or civilian?
Is unfortunate that those who do not know you are treating you like a National Hero.
God bless Murtala Mohammed for kicking you out of Government.

It's the same thing they're doing till today, history always repeats itself. Even from personal accounts of old men who experienced the war, the major threats to the people of most Southern states were, not even the northern soldiers (Gowon/National Military) but the Biafran soldiers. They were the one attacking the Southern civilians during the war, the very same thing they're doing today whereby anybody who isn't speaking the same "language" as them is considered a direct enemy.

Chucks13:
That is one of the reason Aburi Accord failed.

FACT!!!

If anyone not pleases with this fact can move to other topic in peace.

You cannot deceive anybody with this long story! No sane leader who is against the break up of the country would have sign the Accord if it contain such things.

ojukwu was a coward the same with kanu and the content creator

The history books are there. Even accounts of foreigners who witnessed and documented what was going on show that Ojukwu was hotheaded about going to war, with the belief that they could easily defeat the Nigerian army. Have you ever heard of any country where the military is controlled by regional governments?

chrisxxx:
Gowon has no explanation. You started the war. Ojukwu would have given everyone a better Nigeria. Beneficial to all. Gowon gave us Nigeria beneficial only to the elites and their offsprings and the British government.

which ojukwu?

Read d letter ojukwu wrote to Victor banjo n u will see ojukwu was even planning more evil than anyone else


He was planning to conquer the south n appoint Ibo millitary rulers in every southern region but yorubas said no.


Ojukwu was after Ibo supremacy , it was Gowon who wanted one Nigeria

Factcheck0001:
hope u realize Isaac adaka baro was the first to want secession and ojukwu went to war with him n he was defeated and stripped naked only to b tried for seccesion.

That was when nnamdi azikwe declared secession a treasonable act, as karma will have it few months later ojukwu wanted same secession he stopped someone for


Can u see y secession is now a treasonable act?..


Ojukwu n his people stopped adaka baro when they were still benefiting from the system n when d system no longer favour them, they wanted to do the same thing they stopped others from doing n karma stood at d corner for them


That was d same reason adaka baro n his people supported Nigeria in d war

No mind them, after fighting baron with his brother while enjoying oil money. As oil money no more under their control, he declared Biafra.

That's not true

You already agreed to the deal but turned back when you realised it wasn't in favour of the north You didn't honour the agreement you signed

How the Abure fail as Labour Party chairman.

When did late ojukwu become a member of Labour Party to demand for regional government.

Na wa ooooo

Racoon:
General Gowon can continue to deceive himself and all his fellow perpetrators of the worst genocide ever witness in the history of this nation. Guess what is happening in his native Plateau and the middle belt does not ring a bell to him?

You see why I personally don't like my own people it's just these attitude of passing blame to others whereas we are the real culprit, it is very annoying.

Aburi failed or not pls is war the solution? Who advised Ojukwu to took up arms? Instead for low IQ human like you to question ojukwu decision that caused 3million innocent souls "we" were busy blaming Gowon and Awolowo what kind of rubbish is all these?

I asked again and again is War an option? Blame ojukwu and his illed advised greedy gang for whatever happened during Aburi or civil war and stop disturbing other people peace biko.

Igbos can continue to deceive themselves all that that Ojukwu was not the senseless person that lead to the death of Igbos.

Even till this day, many of them are still not capable of making rational judgement about life.

Yakubu Gowon remain a war hero that will forever be praised and honoured in the annals of Nigeria while Ojukwu would be remembered as the one that lead his people to slaughter

are we back to this topic again? let me check if it Gowon with one of his retirement interview again.

Ojukwu is just like Kanu the IPOB leader. Their sole goal is domination of others. They love Nigeria when they thought they could rule over others. Now they hate it simply because they are being ruled by others.

But you agreed to it and pulled out later. Why did you agree to it when you know that you will renege .

Is it by force to be part of Nigeria? This is one of the reasons Nigeria is not working

Kike the North is npt part of Nigeria only ipobland is. Una go just open mouth with any measure of intelkigence.

gidgiddy:
No, Gowon did what the North wanted him to do
