General Yakubu "Jack" Dan-Yumma Gowon (born 19 October 1934) is the former head of state (Head of the Federal Military Government) of Nigeria from 1966 to 1975. He ruled during the deadly Nigerian Civil War, which caused the death of almost 3 million people, most which were civilians. He took power after one military coup d'état and was overthrown in another. During his rule, the Nigerian government was able to prevent the Biafran secession during the Civil War, (1967-70).

His Tivi people are enjoying the Nigeria he fought for with routine Fulani massacres and he never says a word about it.


But anytime IPOB gets hots, he comes out to make media statements about how the unity of Nigeria is not negotiable.

He cares more about what the Igbos choose to do with their destiny than the impending disaster the destiny of his own people is turning out to become. They may become extinct and their land lost forever.

He was used by the north and the British to do the dirty job of maintaining this quagmire called Nigeria.

When is he going to make confession for the role he played over the lost of millions of lives during the Civil War. Time is gradually ebbing away for him and the day of reckoning beckons.

Re: Yakubu Gowon Celebrates His 85th Birthday Today by BafanaBafana:
Jack was a fine soldier. if not for him, the first coup would have succeeded. He mobilized troops to squash the coup while Ironsi was busy in the office sipping tea and plotting on how to take power.
He however tasted power and like a true African, refused to handover to a civilian government.
happy birthday General

Useless man. Typical example of the Nigerian elite. This fucker was engaged by Pfizer to quash the fallout of the drug trial where kids were maimed for life

the man actually said the life of a nigerian child is not the worth of the life of an oyibo child

a former president of nigeria

So sad that they were able to kill 234 next. Then again premium times is the Phoenix from 234next’s ashes
