He's the architect of Nigeria's problems. No blueprint for economic developments, no foresight to get a credit of a founding father, no plan for civilian govt, he introduced "odogi" inadvertently introduced corruption. The guy came unprepared to rule Nigeria. 7 Likes 1 Share |

What he killed millions of children for is the Nigeria we live in today.I wonder how Biafra would have been today if he had allowed that dream to cone true. Its a shame Nigerians don't know there history. Hbd sha, but you killed the hope of Africa because the biafrains were the only people to survive without international help. May the souls of all the departed biafrains rest in peace. 6 Likes 1 Share |

How come some of the people blaming Gowon never see any reason to blame Ojukwu?. They are the two main characters in the destructive civil war ?. I guess why ?. Nigeria will never move forward until all this tribal jingoism is thrown into the dustbin of history where it belongs. 7 Likes |

Nigerians continue to pay a heavy price for allowing those who slaughtered women including pregnant women, children, innocent civilians and engaged in rapes, a needless war and other unconscionable barbarities that violate all norms of law and natural justice go scot free. It has fundamentally debased our society and created a Frankenstein of injustice and impunity that is devouring the nation. It has also nurtured and consolidated a culture of violence. With no social, economic or political justice, Nigeria resembles more a jungle than a human society. This is the 21st century and if we desire to march along with the rest of the world in advancing human civilisation, it is necessary and urgent to bring Yakubu Gowon and his accomplices to trial for only by such a reckoning can Nigeria be freed from the demons of her past and unshackled from the prison of monumental injustice and impunity in which she remains presently chained. 4 Likes |
