[b] The Gowon regime came under fire because of widespread and obvious corruption at every level of national life. Graft, bribery, and nepotism were an integral part of a complex system of patronage and "gift" giving through which influence and authority were asserted. Although the military had pledged to rid the government of corruption, the public became increasingly aware of abuses, primarily because of daily exposés in the press. In 1973 the federal government established a special anticorruption police force--the "X-Squad"--whose subsequent investigations revealed ingenious forms of extortion and fraud-- not only in government and public corporations but in private business and in the professions as well.
A major scandal that had international implications and reached the highest levels of government and the business community took place in the mid-1970s; it involved the purchase abroad of construction materials by state agents at prices well above market values. Rake-offs were pocketed by public officials and private contractors. Other scandals in hospitals and orphanages shocked the populace, while corruption in importing medical drugs whose effective dates long since had expired revealed that even the health of Nigerians was at risk.
Inefficiencies compounded the impact of corruption. In mid1975 , 400 cargo ships--250 of them carrying 1.5 million tons of cement--clogged the harbor of Lagos, which had been paralyzed for fifteen months with vessels waiting to be unloaded. To compound the error, spoiled and inferior-grade cement was concealed by mixing it with acceptable material for use in public building projects. Later, buildings collapsed or had to be dismantled because of the inferior product. New roads washed away because of bad construction and inadequate controls. In these scandals, as in others, the culprits were a combination of Nigerian businessmen, government officials, and foreign companies. Few people and few projects seemed exempt from the scourge. [/b]

[b] Crime posed a threat to internal security and had a seriously negative impact on efforts to bring about economic development. Armed gangs, often composed of former soldiers, roamed the countryside engaging in robbery, extortion, and kidnapping. The gangs sometimes operated with the connivance of the police or included moonlighting soldiers. Pirates raided cargo ships awaiting entry to ports or unloaded them at the piers ahead of the stevedores. Drug trafficking and smuggling were prevalent. Punishment was meted out to large batches of convicted and suspected criminals, who were dispatched by firing squads in public executions meant to impress spectators with the seriousness of the offenses and with the government's concern to curb crime. These measures had no noticeable effect on the crime rate, however, but seemed rather to provoke a callous public attitude toward violence.
In January 1975, Gowon revamped the membership of the Federal Executive Council, increasing the number of military ministers. He depended more and more on a small group of advisers and became increasingly inaccessible to his military colleagues. Without broad consultation, he backed off from the 1976 date set for a return to civilian rule, explaining that to adhere rigidly to it would "amount to a betrayal of a trust" and "certainly throw the nation back into confusion." Public employees staged protest strikes in May and June that brought essential services to a standstill. The government responded by granting retroactive wage increases that averaged 30 percent, which fed inflation and led to industrial strikes as union members demanded parallel raises. [/b]

Gowon like Nigeria, is a failure.

He failed Nigeria, failed himself( as he was used by the Arewa power brokers who themselves were stooges of the British , and then dumped like a hot potato as he fell out of the Nigerian political arena, we know he(Gowon was power drunk), his exit from the Nigerian power equation was not optional, it was forced by his masters), and he also failed his Angas people, as they remain unprotected against the Fulani continued onslaught.

Look at a Nigerian Hero action, this says alot about Nigeria. In human societies, people like Gowon should be in prison by now, but in a Zoological republic, he is a Hero.

Happy birth day sir, nd i
wish you the best

Let's also not forget that it was under Gowon watch that a handful of Yoruba elites led by Awolowo master minded the highest economic heist ever witnessed in Nigerian history, when they through the indigenization policy cornered the Nigerian commonwealth and went on to mismanage most of those companies, creating unemployment that hit the country so bad when the demand for crude oil declined in the late 70's and early 80's.

ISAIAH 14:21

Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.

God has left this man alive to see the fulfilment of ISAIAH 14:21.

In your face General, your kinsmen are daily slaughtered, driving away from their homes and farm lands and you have no say, neither can you raise your hands in their defence.

The very Muslims you aligned with to kill Biafra men and women, for not just course are today paying you back in your own coin.

As for the western conspirators, your reward is in proverbs 11:21...Assuredly, the evil man will not go unpunished, But the descendants of the righteous will be delivered.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PA GOWON


THE SLAYER OF THE IGBOS

THE MAN WHO MADE OJUKWU RAN LIKE A COWARD TO IVORY COAST

THE MAN WHO EMPOWERED BENJAMIN ADEKUNLE TO CONQUER Biafra

THE MAN WHO MADE SURE THE IGBOS LEARN TO EMBRACE UNITY.

MAY YOU LIVE LONG TO SEE NNAMDI KANU AND HIS IPOB CRIMINALS ROT IN DSS DUNGEON.

Slayed the Igbos indeed. No he slayed Nigeria. I hope he claps for those Hausa / Fulani that are constantly terrorizing his home state. Am sure nature kept him long enough to see the futility of their wicked campaign. Some of his less lucky colleagues received the cold hand of karma a few years after the war; they died in the same way they made other die like Murtala Mohamed.

Happy birthday sir.

Gowon is nothing but a disgrace himself in every way. I'm surprised that many Nigerians are celebrating this man who listed globally as one of the biggest mass murderers the world has ever seen but that is Nigerians for you.


He kept Nigeria one? Why did he do that? Did he bother to ask Nigerians if they want to stay as one?

Just like Lugard who came from Britain to force all of us into this theatre of deciet called Nigeria, Gowon came to enforce the dream of Lord Lugard. One Nigeria my foot! Has Nigeria progressed even an inch since the war ended? The reason why Gowon is truly an evil man is not all the children he starved to death in other to keep the fictitious creation of the White man called Nigeria together. What makes Gowon the devil incarnate is that he denied a people there God given right to choose their destiny.


Gowon should be tied to a stake and shot for his crimes against humanity!

COUNTDOWN TO FACE JUDGEMENT BY THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE.

One of the destroyers of Nigeria. His people would celebrate him for continuously putting Nigeria together as a 1 for their selfish interest.
