T9ksy: The photo was taken in 1981 when former head of state, General Yakubu Gowon was on exile in the UK. Pictured below with him are his children Saratu 9 (left), Rahila 2, and Ibrahim 11. The former military leader was in office from 1966 to 1975. He was overthrown on 29th July 1975, forcing him to go on an exile in his UK with his family. http://www.naijahelm.com.ng/2017/06/cute-throwback-photo-of-former-head-of.html?m=1 https://www.nairaland.com/3843384/throwback-photo-yakubu-gowon-children 1 Share

zenmaster: If you have a functioning frontal lobe , you would have discern the difference in the two context. Suffice to say, Gowon didn't led millions of people into a gratuitious war that cost millions of lives on both sides of the divide before going into exile. 4 Likes |

T9ksy:Bros. Gowon went on exile, accept it. T9ksy:Gowon needed help from USA, UK, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Canada, Chad, Niger, Cameroon, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Syria etc in order to kill millions of people on both sides. After which the lazy coward went on exile.

gidgiddy: Are you saying all the Igbo soldiers that died during the war are foolish and stupid for getting captured and killed? You are saying those soldeirs should have run away too ? The Biafrans soldiers could have escape from the war field but they gallantly fought and die for the Biafra cause as martyrs, but when it was the turn of the useless coward Ojukwu to show that he too can fight, he ran away like the coward he is. A brave man practice what he preaches, but Ojukwu pushed some gullible young Igbos to death, a fate that he could not take himself. 5 Likes |

zenmaster: How many million died before Gowon ran into exile.? It was a military coup and the consequences of such adventure are well laid out for both victors and losers. I know you want to troll which is the usual thing Ibos do when they are out of depth, but troll with a bit of common sense. 2 Likes |

This comment is tribalistic and unintelligent We DANites are monitoring this thread @ the thread it is obvious Gowon was speaking out of frustration because Ojukwu was not captured.

zenmaster: you see why biafran logic of a 'runaway hero' is absurd in the land of thinking humans? Only cowards run away from a war they started!! So the biafran soldiers who died fighting in obedience to their master, ojukwu are true soldiers. The ojukwu who ran away before the battle even got to his abode is a coward and Gowon who went on exile to UK from Uganda is also a coward because Idiagbon came back even after his govt was overthrown and OBJ also came back after being accused of complicity in a coup by abacha and you know what? They're both Yoruba 3 Likes |

zenmaster: Listening to Gowon anyone can see he was far more matured in his choice of words far greater than his age at that time. He spoke like someone who understood the tasks and challenges ahead of him. Unlike Ojukwu who kept bragging about the size and power of an army he never had. 2 Likes |
