kopite: What are you saying? is it not the same social media that gave you the opportunity to spew the above rubbish. In the real world respect is earned and not conferered. Gowon had not acted and behaved as an elder states man. An elderstateman should be guiding and advising those in power to avoid mistakes he made as a trainee head of state, not wait for the government to make the same mistake and blame others instead of ourselves. Why did he tell subsequent government this "America refusing to sell us arms " story before now, so the government would not rush to the US when we are in dire straits. At least he attends the weekly (or is it monthly) Federal Executive meetings. After more than 45 years after the civil war, he is now coming out with this revelation. What has the Government been doing since the civil war? Where have they been getting their weapons, since the US had always refused to sell us weapons. Why did the government have to wait until we are in the middle of a war before they realize that we need to buy weapons? What happens to local production of weapons? are we going to rely on foriegn nations to arm us before we can prosecute a war? Gowon claiming elderstatesman should have inquired why the US refuses to sell us weapons and solicit the help of fellow US elder statesmen for assistance. He should not futher inflame the relationship between Nigeria and the US. We cannot afford to have the US and her allies as enemy. 1 Like |

''John Perkins writes in Confessions of an Economic Hitman (2004) how he and other ‘hitmen’ like him were sent to developing countries as consultants to bribe or coerce diplomats, economists, administrators and politicians to do the bidding of the US. Often they succeeded, but if they failed then the CIA would send in the ‘jackals’ — professionally trained assassins who would engineer the deaths of those who stood in the way of complete American domination.'' http://www.globalresearch.ca/why-putin-is-winning-the-new-cold-war/5417041 Food for thought. 2 Likes |

The Jonathan goverment.is a govt.of LIES. Nigeria has never used American weapons so it is cowardly to use them as excuse. Abacha fought the Sierra Leoneane and Liberian wars without American weapons Gowon has just confirmed that he did not need American weapons during the civil war. Why is this EVIL COWARDLY THIEF attempting to confuse the entire country by lying against the US. All the Generals have become multi billionaires soldiers are running away from battle and a thieving govt wants me to blame.the US for that. SHAME!!!!!!. Boko Haram will soon start coming south and attacking Bayelsa, it is then the people will realise that their son the President is an EMPTY CHAFE. 1 Like |

SeverusSnape:my friend, he is not funny. He is just waking up to the reality that America and other western powers aren't our friends. When he was been stuffed with weapons of destruction to exterminate the people of the then biafra and thier children, he never complained. Now the same people who fought for them and against other innocent ethnic groups and killed millions of them have started with their supporters. Now that same leader is complaining forgetting he never complained then, he never apologized then and ended up impoverishing the Biafrans by giving them 2 pounds for their millions. If not for the innocent in that region who never supported the killings of the southerners then, I would be harsh in saying, " what goes around, comes around" 1 Like |

igbokwesampson: [size=18pt]Since Nigeria led the renewed effort to champion African economic independence by working against the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) of Western powers, the west has targeted Nigeria for dismemberment to reduce it's influence in challenging their interests. From Boko Haram, low oil prices from artificial oil glut, silent ban on buying Nigerian oil and the denial of arms to Nigeria are a few of the multi-stage strategies to make sure this country breaks up. Judging from history, the west often have their way because they will always find a way to play Africans against each other to secure their interest. May God protect Nigeria from these evil plots.

rhames: http://www.amazon.com/Confessions-Economic-Hit-John-Perkins/dp/0452287081 - just in case you want to buy. ''Perkins, a former chief economist at Boston strategic-consulting firm Chas. T. Main, says he was an "economic hit man" for 10 years, helping U.S. intelligence agencies and multinationals cajole and blackmail foreign leaders into serving U.S. foreign policy and awarding lucrative contracts to American business. "Economic hit men (EHMs) are highly paid professionals who cheat countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars," Perkins writes. Confessions of an Economic Hit Man is an extraordinary and gripping tale of intrigue and dark machinations.'' |

We have a saying that "onye gburu dibia na agworo ya ogwu chefulu na ndi n'eme ya insi di ndu." Meaning: A man who killed his charm maker forgot his enemies were still alive. They momentarily got rid of Biafra with empty promises to outside powers and criminals. When it got to 'paycheck' time the powers were greeted with a monumental scam in the name of Indigenization policy. Britain lost a chunk of her investments, Russia got no foothold, Arab Egypt and Sudan eventually got OIC, and the rest of Nigeria got 40 year born-to-rule hegemony. But in life there's always a second chance, and for those powers that chance is now. Yesterday Gowon was saying America was not Nigeria's friend and ally because they refused to sell Nigeria fighter jets durin the civil war to 'chase Biafra's B25's away' from Nigeria's air space. He said, "we were not asking to shoot it down but to chase it away. we wanted to stop it from throwing bombs and killing innocent people, that's why we want to chase it away but America refused to sell us fighters." Story for the gods! Ironically, this same Gowon who said he didn't want to shoot down a jet, just merely chasing it away, was ok with Nigerian jets strafing and blasting innocent women and children in markets, schools, and hospitals on the Biafran side. Sometimes I wonder if these people realized we're many and alive in Nigeria. It seems when they talk about what they did to our fathers and our homeland, they assume no single 'Biafran' is alive so let's justify and heap all atrocities on dead Biafrans - the dead can't hear so what a heck! Too bad Gowon, you didn't get everyone, so we can hear you loud and clear. We know what happened and someday Biafra's time will come. But until then, we leave Nigeria with the Repo man for Gowon's overdue and unpaid fees. 1 Like |

ALL THESE GOWON BASHINGS MUST STOP. Kids who were not even alive during the civil war rehashing lies told by their parents. All IBOs need to thank Gowon. What if the Head of State had been MURTALA MUHAMMED? there wont have been "No Victor, No Vanquished". It would have been "Kill All Ibos". Muhammed almost became Head of State at that time. In all interviews regarding the civil war, Gowon shows great sympathy for Ibos and reserves intense condemnation for Ojukwu. Even in this article he does not mention Biafra by name. The man who starved Biafra was Awo for good reasons...pls children dont make the mistake of your parents, Gowon is the only ex Head Of State with some love for GEJ. Please stop being STUPID. |
