See this one. Pot calling kettle black.

He had a duty of defending his country as a soldier against disintegration as enshrined in the constitution.

He was a soldier that had to do what needs to be done coz even if it’s not Gowon it will be someone else.

You all made it look like Gowon started the war. You also made it look like the Biafran side never killed any Nigerian soldier or civilian.

C’mon it’s a war and each side had a duty to defend their own and war always lead to casualties around the world. If Ojukwu birthday can be celebrated then Gowon also should have a chance to celebrate his birthday.

Gowon started the war. It was Gowons refusal to implement the Aburi agreement he signed with Ojukwu in Ghana that started the war.

What Gowon fought for was not to keep Nigeria one, he fought for his fellow Northerners to dominate Nigeria, politically and economically.

Had Gowon had the unity of Nigeria at heart, he would have implemented the Aburi agreement. He could not implement the Aburi agreement because that agreement prevented the Northerners from dominating Nigeria

That's why the history of Nigeria is not taught in schools, to prevent people like you from knowing the truth

Like I told someone up there, I know the history of Nigeria and I don't need you to teach me nonsense.

What provoked the northerners rage at first? Isn't it because the barrack boys of mostly Igbo origin slaughtered their leaders? Have you ever read the Aburi accord in it entirety and listened to Ojukwu press briefing before the war?

He was boasting that the Biafran side will win the war in few months because he said he had the expertise to win the war quickly. Ojukwu in saner climes should have been taken to the ICC for purposely slaughtering his kinsmen for his ego when he knew he can't face the federal side alone without the needed alliance.

There are numerous way to go about the disagreement of the Aburi accord than opting for the useless war that had made Nigeria this polarized and directionless.

Note: This is the basic core summary of the Aburi accord
Re-organisation of the Armed forces
Constitutional Arrangement
Issue of displaced persons within Nigeria

As I said before, they dont teach Nigerian history in Schools so that people like you can live in ignorance. So you think that the killing of Igbos was because of the Nzeogwu coup? Igbos were being killed long before that. The Jos massacre of 1945 and the Kano killings of 1953 are two examples of Northerners killing Igbos, long before there was any coup.

The simple question is, what caused the civil war? Ojukwu and Gowon had a meeting in Aburi Ghana and agreed on 12 points, some of which you mentioned above. In return for Ojukwu recognising Gowon as head of state and the Eastern Region remaining loyal to Nigeria, Gowon had to implement the 12 points agreed upon. Of the 12 points agreed, the most important was that Gowon would not change the 4 Regional structure of Nigeria unless all 4 military Governors of the time agreed with him. On the 26th of May 1967, Gowon, without consulting anybody, announced decree 14 which abolished the 4 Regional structure and replaced it with 12 states. Having broken the most important point of the Aburi agreement, representatives of the Eastern Nigeria consultative forum that represented the 20 provinces that made up the Eastern Region, met in Enugu on the 28th of May and voted for the Eastern Region to be a separate country. Ojukwu declared Biafra 2 days later and the Gowon declared war. It was after Gowon had declared war on Ojukwu that Ojukwu boasted he would win.


The important thing to note in this story is that Gowon caused the war.

It was Gowon that broke the Aburi agreement which left Ojukwu with no choice than to declare Biafra

It was also Gowon who first declared war

What about the role of Obj in the civil war itself sef. Was he not a war commander there? His role in the killings is well documented. Confused FFK trying to gain cheap popularity.

I no blame am. Na wetin she give am chop.

Afamed:
But you can celebrate the birth of Obj Who supervised the killings of Odi people in Bayelsa state. Or those lives in Odi were less important? This guy and his followers are all confused elements

d igbo gal t0t0 has changed dis ones brain circuitry. If you don't celebrate Gowon's birthday, then we should ban the birthday of the Ojukwu who actually started the war because of his ego

Cyberterror:
I know that yorubas will say that tight Igbo pvssy is what has kept FFK's brain on reverse mode but let's keep watching him

Guy dat pvssy in no longer tight. Just like Bianca's pvssy was no longer tight after FFK visited it.

Don't forget GEJ also who supervised the slaughter of MASSOB members...And Ojucrook who ran away like a coward leaving millions to die...

gidgiddy:
Is what he said wrong? How do you celebrate a man who superintendents over the killing of 3 million people?

How do you celebrate a man ( Ojucrook) who plunged an entire nation into war because of his ego?. Then instead of surrendering, ran away like a coward leaving 100s of thousands to die.

Even if we accept your jaundiced view of history how can you say 'Gowon caused the war,' when according to you Ojukwu and his fellow yeeboos met in Enugu "...and voted for the Eastern Region to be a separate country." Don't you know that trying to make a separate country from a sovereign nation is in itself a DECLARATION OF WAR? So mister man Ojukwu DECLARED war not Gowon. Gowon was just doing what a leader should do - defend the territory of the country he is leading.

LegendHer0:

You must be Hitler's son, so killing of about 50,000 innocent Igbo women and children in Northern Nigeria was part of the war, are you not aware that the killer did nothing , while Igbos were brutally killed by his soldiers and civilians.

As much as Nigeria was a sovereign nation, the Regions had their own sovereignty too. Gowon caused the civil war because Gowon met with Ojukwu and other Regional leaders and signed an agreement that would preserve the unity of Nigeria. Gowon went ahead and broke the agreement he signed, that's why Ojukwu broke the Eastern Region out of Nigeria

Had Gowon kept to the agreement and Ojukwu declared Biafra notwithstanding, then it would be right to blame Ojukwu for the war.

Gowon broke the agreement, Gowon caused the war.

Then let's celebrate Ojukwu who do instigateded the war abi! What a joke of person who gave birth to this kid (FFK). Can I ask a simple question had the Igbos won the civil war wont they be calling Ojukwu hero today. As far as I am concerned Gowon remains a national hero even to the Igbos because after the war he accepted them back with open and nobody was jailed afterwards. While I accept that the Nigeria is badly been misrule we must accept the fact that we still don't have any other nation except Nigeria.

Igbos didn't win the war, yet most Igbos regard Ojukwu as a hero. You know why? He fought for our freedom

Some misguided Nigerians keep saying that Ojukwu instigated war by declaring Biafra but the never ask why Ojukwu declared Biafra. It was because Gowon reneged on Aburi agreement

Gowon caused the war by not implementing the agreement he signed.

As for those who think that Gowon fought for the unity of Nigeria, that's a big joke. Gowon fought for Northern domination of Nigeria.

Gowon, Awo and Obj didn't fire a pin to obliterate Biafra. The Children died because of the untamable attitude of their parents.pp

muykem:
FFK is a useless kid that refused to grow up at age of about 60years. Whenever we are preaching against war and IPOB is beating drum, this is what we are saying. Nobody save any arsenal during the war, in fact, the stronger the opposition, the deadly the arsenal needed. God himself need to killed all the first born in Egypt before they allowed Israel to go.

From ur name, I should know ur reaction b4 hand....live with it..gowon, murtala mohammed nd abiola are no heros of Nigeria

Go to sleep bitch

Truth bitter for Nigerian

Kentura:
Gowon needs to be tried in an international court.. Mans a beast!

Well, he didn't declare war, so can't be tried for war crimes. He declared police action...Truly, that wasn't the right way to fight, civilians and civilian objects were attacked

Spot on.

Hero my Ass...i don't care about any lame excuse Gowon may give for justifying his actions. And I also blame Ojukwu too.

Wars are avoidable.

toiling and messing with ibo people

Faeton:
I will advise we research the history (Precedence) of what he is saying and understand better. Nigerian youth read your history please.

according to what I know a Yoruba man was supposed to be head of state but since he refused ojukwu was the next in line but yakubu forced himself in power

is that really true??

Gowon never declared war but police action, Pls research on it well

The root cause may not be unconnected with the first coup in Nigeria staged by mostly military guys from the East but as I wrote, wars are avoidable.
