And then you people had to beg for 13% of your resources as opposed to the 50% you enjoyed in the old Eastern Region while the rest was carted up North to build Abuja. Yeah, you guys have a lot to be thankful to the war criminal called Gowon.

Which state? Rivers belong to all Igbos.

Baba let's celebrate our hero

No ethnic bashing here

What made him a hero?

Someone held power for 9 years but could not achieve anything. Have you heard any positive development credited to his government?

Some say he kept Nigeria as one. Is the country better off as we are now?


Please don't mention NYSC cos that is a dead on arrival policy that successive governments lack to courage to scrap, even though they see any need for it. Infact, it has become a big liability.

Gowon said our problem was not money but what to do with it. This should have come from a leader of an advanced country that lack nothing in terms of infrastructure.

gidgiddy:
As I expected, the people from the West are already here to congratulate Gowon who was one of the many Northern leaders to sit down comfortably in Lagos and mess Nigeria up. Slave-Master relationship.

Gowon is a mass-murderer, a Northern imperialist, a usurper,

Gowon caused the civil by not sticking to the Aburi agreement he signed in Ghana.

The funny thing about Gowon becoming head of state and the Yorubas praising him is that Gowon had to kickout 2 Yorubas who were senior to him (Brigadier Ogundipe and Colonel Adebayor) in other to get there.

Northerners have been messing with Westerners for a long time while Westerners clapp their hands in support, simply because they are too cowardly to stand up and fight for their dignity like Ojukwu did.

Cry cry babe

Shameless man.

Buhari should round him up fast and start to probe him,that is if he is serious about his fight against corruption.

I just wonder if u guys rili know history or u just tk the part that suits u at the moment. Ok let me school u guys on what on happen, even tho i wasn't born then. Maybe some of u were or una don age pass me.

First of all, him yakubu, was a puppet used to fight the war for the hausa's, remember he is a Christian, and the south then were Christian. He couldn't realize this during the war, it was after the war he knew he was just used to fight the war. He was an intelligent officer too and young, so he was the right choice then. Ok now tell me why after the war he went to seek asylum with Britain(who were the actual pple that help Nigeria win the war)? Why did he hv to run? Ur hero? Run? Why?!! Ok something u dnt know, this same man has been going from church to church(he came to my church then in Gombe state which was mostly igbos) to ask for forgiveness of the war! Take it or leave it, he regrets the war. Even his own pple reject him, he come out for senator, he didn't win! Ur so called hero? Well he is no hero to himself he knows that.

HBD SIR! ABEG WHY IS BUHARI 73 AND DIS MAN 82 STILL healthier!?

U and i hv issue and we were called by a neutral person to settle our dispute we agreed and signed, we shook Hands. Then we came back to our house, instead of keeping to the agreement, i turned a blind eye, to the same problem which cause the first fight. Pls how will u feel? Honest answer needed else u are worst than a zombie!

Happy birthday baba. The nightmare of Biafrans and Ojukwu. His name alone makes biafrans study their history and remember him. The Terror of the east. Long live the people's General.

Gowon was a weak man whom the northern rebels fronted to head the illegitimate government of them. He couldn't match ojukwu in intelligence and professionalism.
A paper weak man who was taking others even from awolowo.

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.

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.

The political atmosphere deteriorated to the point that Gowon was deposed in a bloodless coup d'état July 29, 1975--the ninth anniversary of the revolt that had brought him to power. At the time, Gowon was at an OAU summit meeting in Kampala, Uganda. The perpetrators of the coup included many of the officers who had participated in the July 1966 coup. Even the officers responsible for Gowon's security were involved. Gowon pledged his full loyalty to the new regime and left for exile in Britain, where he received a pension from the Nigerian government.

Any wonder why Nigeria is a failure. Gowon as useless, clueless and corrupt as he was, is supposed to be a "great" Nigerian ruler.

The despot even had to be forced out of power, as he repeatedly refused to ensure the transition from military to civilian regime.

I am from Rivers state, from your reasoning you must be from d eroded regions

Orikinla:

Ojukwu is only respected in the east, but Gowon is respected all round Nigeria

You are from Delta state. This is the last time I will say this. You from the lazy ogogoro drinking, poverty stricken tribe in Delta state.

If you push my button, I might reveal more about you than I intended to.

Of course, Gowon as a ruler was a failure. It's only proper he be respected all over the failed nation.

Little wonder you were naive enough to zoom into Ndoki people facebook page to expose your little cover, can you be anymore desperate? Did you see how they ignored you like you don't even exist?

Name one Ogogoro man of international repute? None whatsoever, you only known people are criminals/ militants.
